can anyone recommend a face wash and moisturiser for a teenage boy with spotty but very very sensitive skin.
we have tried dermalogica but he comes up bright red and it really stings. Waitrose own Pure face wash is ok.

But is there anything else that anyone can recommend?

Cerave hydrating cleanser. I got it for my teenage son but I risked it in lockdown as I react to everything including shampoo and conditioner which don't even touch my face but I get red blotches which I don't get when I just shower and don't wash my hair.

Cerave is really gentle. You can get it online (Amazon) or in Boots. www.cerave.co.uk/our-products/cleansers

I got Cerave and The Inkey List cleansers this week - both good, but the Inkey one tops it IMO, it’s amazing! Never had such a good cleanser that hasn’t stung a bit!

Cerave stung my eyes a little, but not as much as the others I’ve tried.

My dd has very peculiar , sensitive skin and she uses either CeraVe or La Roche Posay , I think it’s the eflacor face wash .

La Roche posay citaplast is very good

Thank you. will it help with the spots?
I have tried the Cerave SA smoothing cleanser but it really irritated his skin and made it v red

I wash my face with Eucerin Atopi control bath and shower oil. It's really good! Since it's an oil, it moisturises the skin as well Smile it's for people with eczema (I don't have it) so it's very mild
