Wipe-over cleanser for DD15

7 replies

ElviraZoffany · Yesterday 08:50

Hello, I’m looking for recommendations for a cleanser you can put on a cotton pad and wipe over as DD15 dislikes massaging the product in wet.

She’s only just started regularly washing her face and getting her face wet in the shower, and it shows as her skin is not smooth and usually looks greasy and uneven with large pores.

After attempting Cerave and Dr Sam cleansers, she tried Simple cream cleanser on a cotton pad and liked it enough to do it everyday - hurrah!

Unfortunately, even though she says she’s rinsing her face afterwards, I don’t think it suits her skin as she’s had more congested bumps and spots than ever since using it. I feel wipe-over cleansers will never be as penetrating as ones you properly massage in, but right now it’s all she’ll use.

There are so many products out there these days that I just don’t know what to try next. I have extremely reactive skin, so I never deviate from my Dermaviduals.

Any suggestions?

Will micellar or wipes help congested skin?

Caroline Hirons has written a book about teen skin. That maybe worth a read OP.
personally I would not suggest micellar or wipes for DD.

I'm like micellar water too. It gets ur skin clean. You can rinse with water after

Don’t use face wipes everyone knows that by now.

Micellar water is pretty much what most people use. The Garnier one with a pink lid.
