Ds is 13 and plays football. We've begun to notice that the boys have a little acne starting around where ther helmets touch their foreheads and in their cheeks which may or may not be from the chin strap.
I can't see my rural living, football plaYing teen agreeing to wash his face with some girlie product, so does anybody have recommendations as to what he should be using to clense his face?

Clean and Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser found at Target. It contains benzoyl peroxide which is what my son's doctor recommended and another friend's dermatologist. I also buy the clean and clear cream as well. So at night he cleanses with the cleanser and in the morning puts on a little of the cream when needed on the critical areas.

Our active 12 y.o. son uses Yes To - Tomato cleanser (or wipes when traveling) with success. HTH

2 suggestions- Pan Oxyl Cleanser. Recommended by my derm. I have been dealing with acne for years- this stuff does a really good job. Other suggestions- Oxy Wipes. They come in a resealable package of 30. Contain benzoyl peroxide too. DS 13 uses these because he really doesn't do a good enough job with just washing. Plus your son could just throw the package in his gym bag.

Also, alcohol wipes to wipe the chin straps and such that touch their faces all the time... Sometimes it's a bacteria problem... Ew
