Cleanser for nearly 10 year old

[babypossum]

Can anybody recommend a cleanser/face wash for my soon to be ten year old DS? We're using Professor Scrubbington at the moment but it's quite drying. There's an array out there but I'd rather have a recommendation. Thanks.

The Good Things range is in Sainsburys and they have products especially for young skin.

Cerave Hydrating Cleanser from Boots. Very gentle on all skin types and unisex packaging too

Just use supermarket own brand facial wipes for sensitive skin. Just as effective as expensive brands.

Cetaphil - white/blue bottle so pretty plain and unfancy

Pump bottle

Recommended by Dermatologists .

I'd avoid wipes and Cetaphil - www.carolinehirons.com/2016/09/cetaphil-cleanser.html. Cerave is good.

Thanks everybody. I'd rather get him into a routine of washing his face rather than using wipes. Not sure he'd go for them either...

Oh, yes, definitely Cetaphil. No wipes! I’ll be honest, I pay a fortune on skincare, Botox etc and the only cleanser the people I go to use is Cetaphil x

My DD (11) has been using the simple range. She started with the micellar water and moisturiser and had been using for about a year. She has fairly dry skin though. I'll do the same with DS when he's old enough.

I would go for a Simple milky cleanser

Does a ten year old need a cleanser? What's wrong with water?

Soap and water.

My son uses qv gentle wash. He likes it as it comes in a pump bottle so isn't a faff to use which means he is more likely to wash his face and that can often be half the battle with young boys!
It's gentle and unscented and you only need a tiny little bit so very economical as it lasts for ages. I would stay away from any harsh cleansers for now and keep things as simple as possible.
We also found that this was the only cleanser that helped clear up his spotty skin at one point.

Dietcokemegafan I'd say he does need to use a wash/cleanser over just water as he plays a lot of sport so gets very sweaty/muddy and has already had a couple of pimples. Some really great recommendations, thank you. I'll take a look at all of them and go from there!

Garnier cleansing milk. Rinses clean without stripping skin. No particles, foam or harsh alcohols - so will be great for preventing spots. Cheap and widely available.

My 9 year old has started using cerave. I want him to get into a good routine in case he inherits my bad skin!

There's no evidence that cleanser helps spots, honestly I'd say get him to use nothing for a month and see if it makes a difference. Crazy young to get him thinking he needs these sort if products

‘These sort of products’ are kinder in the skin than soap when water isn’t effectiveness enough against being spotty.

*to the skin

Orange flower water
Pure rosewater?

DD (11) still just washes her face with a flannel and water. No soap or cleanser. If/when she gets teenage spots I'll suggest she uses La Roche Posay effaclar gel cleanser. I don't see the point of using products if she doesn't need them yet.

DS uses the Tom Farmer facewash (and I steal it- it's lovely and doesn't dry the skin out)

You can get gentle facial soaps. Not a plastic bottle in sight.

I bought this for my 12 year old, think he sometimes remembers to use it in the shower

Unhelpfullybout of stock here but can be bought elsewhere. Theres a newish brand called Spots and Stripes, I think. Looks good but I think a bit expensive personally.

Cetaphil! We got it recommended by family member who is a beautician, very gentle on skin and effective.

Mine use the child’s farm body/bath/wash products. Mild ingredients, and effective.

Does he need a specific face wash? Mine just jump in the shower and use the above.
