Need gentle face cleaner for 11 year old. Any suggestions?

Lynn, I would recommend Arbonne FC5 line of products. Not sure if you are familiar with Arbonne, but it is Swiss formulated skin care that is made in the U.S. It is made from botanicals and has no added dyes or chemical fragrances. It also does NOT contain Mineral Oil which is an occlusive and clogs pores....basically refined motor oil that you put in your car! These products do not have any animal products or animal by-products. They are tested on a human panel overseen by a Dermatologist....NOT Dermatologist recommeneded, but Dermatologist APPROVED. I would be happy to send you a sample pack for your daughter to try. I just need to know if she is oily or dry...I am guessing oily. The FC5 for Oily skin is a simple process...wash and toner in one step and then a moisturizer. The set also includes an Oil Absorbing Mattifying powder. You can view these products at www.Arbonne.com You can contact me at [email protected] Good luck to you!

cetaphil for sure!

I use the Burt's Bees products. They are botanicals and work very well for me now. Phisoderm was something I used at her age and it worked.

Just started my 11 year old on the Velocity line by Mary Kay. I've used Mary Kay Time Wise for YEARS and can't use anything else. I'm not a Mary Kay rep and have no desire to be...I just truly love their product. I don't even buy it from a rep. I regularly get it for 50% - 60% off on ebay. Just make sure sellers list the expiration dates for the product and have 100% positive feedback. I don't use their makeup though. I have sensitive skin and break out with a number of things. I use Everyday Minerals makeup as it's one of the few mineral makeups that do not contain Bismuth Oxychloride (just a tip for future reference) I let my daughter this year going into 6th grade pick out a few very light neutral shades when I placed my last order and she was super excited to take this next step in her "maturing"

Try the Mary Kay Velocity or classic skincare line.

Aveeno cleansers. They have one for controlling blemishes and are super safe for the skin.

I recommend the FC5 from Arbonne. There was another lady on here who mentioned it. The only thing I will add is if for whatever reason you are not satisfied there is a 45 day money back guarantee.

Hope this helps!

Cetaphil and Purpose are both very good and are sold at your local grocery, walgreens, or target. They are both really good for sensitive skin! I like clinique too if you are willing to spend a little more, however it's not necessary.

I would try Cetaphil. It's a daily facial cleanser that is gentle and will not dry out your face. It is also dermatologist recommended. I love it and you can find it almost everywhere!

Philosophy Purity Made Simple is my favorite. It is very gentle and cleans without drying out skin, and my daughter's dermatologist recommended Cetaphil. Ulta and Sephora carry philosophy or you can buy it at www.philosophy.com and Cetaphil is available at most drug and grocery stores

Cetaphil Gentle cleanser

Cetaphil is gentle enough for all ages and works well.

Hi Lynn, I am a aesthetician here in Fort Worth and I would suggest either a Aveeno cleansr or possibly a Neutrogena cleanser. Some really like Cetaphyl, but any of these I would feel safe with. Good Luck!!

I highly recommend using Mary Kay, they have complete sets of cleansers, toners, moisturizers, etc. If you're going to teach her to take care of her face might as well start off with the whole nine yards and use a good, quality, tried & true product. Then, when you are both ready you can go straight into their line of make up. You can always find a Mary Kay representative somewhere!

I really like Burt's Bees products. You can find them at Kroger and Walmart these days. Also, I love www.vitacost.com to order more natural products. Their prices are AWESOME and they have a flat $5 shipping rate for most items. Good luck.

Cetaphil. You can get that at the drugstore pretty cheap and it comes in sensitive formula. It was voted the best on an allure magazine.

Our dermatologist reccomended Purpose soap from the grocery store.

Thanks so much everyone! It was nice to explore choices. At least I have an idea of what’s out there now. DD and I will go “cleanser” shopping with the list of products. She wants to choose which one to get. Thanks again everyone!!!
