suitable face wash for 11 year old

Hello all, my 11 year old has started getting small pimples and a few little blackheads in all the usual places. I am now banned from squeezing them (unfairWink) so I need some recommendations on a gentle but effective face wash that is right for his skin. The ones aimed at teenagers seem a bit harsh as he's not too oily yet but I want to get on top of it early.

Any ideas?

Ultimately all teenagers need it clean skin to help combat the extra oil being produced.msteer very clear of Clearasil. Also go for fashwashes without having SLS on them. Anything in Holland & Barrett would be fine. I use Sukin, an Australian brand available in H&B and now in bigger Boots stores.

Make sure he only uses a towel for his face, don't use the same one for body etc. The flannel really should be washed daily as its a breeding ground for bacteria after just one use (think moist, warm!).

Dove soap is too harsh as it will dry his skin out and the face will produce even more oil.
