Face Wash For Autistic Son?

Question

he's getting to that age where he needs some anti acne face wash, but I'm faced with the glitches of autism. It can't burn, have an offensive odor, or have a cooling sensation...I'm not sure how he would react to that. I know he has some defensiveness against smells, i don't want to hurt him if it burns and I'm not sure he will like a cooling feeling....so i turn to you my YA friends.....got any ideas of a product i can try??? Oh by the way he will be 13 in December...so yep puberty is coming!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOO SCARY!!!!!

Answer 1

neutogena oil free cleanser.. no smell, tingling sensation, nothing. jus clear skin

Answer 2

Spectro AcneCare cleansing pads and the AcneCare lotion if he starts to break out allot.

Answer 3

No offense but I'd have to disagree with another poster. I wouldn't recommend Pro-Activ, since it does have a bit of an awkward smell.

  How about Clearasil Ultra Daily Face Wash?? No horrible smell, no tingling, burning, cooling! And it leaves your skin feeling nice and soft.

One of my favorite skin care lines is by Lush.

They don't have a whole lot of shops...mostly just in major cities.  But you can order online.

Their stuff is all natural, preservative free, and not tested on animals.  Very cool.  For acne, I would try their Fresh Farmacy soap...

This is very good for controlling breakouts, and since one of the main ingredients in it is calamine, it's very soothing and non-irritating.  I use it myself, and I don't get any tingling or other sensation.  The scent is verrrrry mild.  Again, because of the calamine, it just smells a little...chalky, I guess?  With a verrrrry slight rose undertone (but not girly-rosy...it's very faint...like rosewater).  And since it's in a bar form, it would be more like regular soap, with which he's already familiar and (I hope!) comfortable.

--->Good Luck!

Answer 5

Proactive. It has a clean smell, and it's very gentle on the skin. You can use just the face wash, or you can use it with the toner and lotion. I def. reccomend using the lotion cause it makes your skin feel soft and helps to heal the acne you already have.

Best of luck to you both!
