[quote=Anonymous]Sorry about the diet person- truly not helpful.

It depends on the type of pimples- are they blackheads or closed, are they inflamed, is hair involved?

We have 2 sensory-sensitive kids and they have landed in different places. I will describe both of their routines in case any of this may help. I always need to know options.

For my DD, she has used the old Clinique 3 step skin care since middle school. The ladies at the Clinique counter are very calm and it is almost unscented. She uses cotton squares from Sephora for the extra mild toner to prevent any stray strings. The structure and simplicity, and feeling grown up shopping at a department store were selling points in middle school. Getting the “bonus” makeup kits has gotten her to try stuff I never thought would happen. And she can carry personal items in the pouches.

For breakouts we use the pimple patches from Smartmed Ollie Belle. They don’t have any medicine to make you peel and they are very thin so you can’t feel them once on. They really help prevent picking. But chins can be hard. We have tried so many pimple patches.

Once a week DD uses Differin- it has really helped in the T-zone. The Differin gel in the pump bottle has worked best. It controls the amount and is less gloopy than other formulas. Using once a week prevents the extreme dryness that would require another moisturizer. Layering 2 treatment lotions is a bridge too far.

For breakouts which are red, the dermatologist gave DD Cleocin T gel. It can be used really sparingly and seems to resolve things quickly if needed.

For DS - he washes with Cerave in the shower with a washcloth only used on his face. This is less challenging than washing at the sink. He also uses Differin gel once a week, but only on his t-zone. He can’t stand the dots, so he uses a little more of the Cleocin than his sister.

For both kids we have fresh washcloths both morning and evening. IKEA has good inexpensive options. I don’t know why that makes face washing more manageable, they use them to wash and dry. [/quote]
