Help me preteen.

It was just yesterday I was researching bottles and BPA. Now my baby has pimples and smells.

Are there good products (face wash, soap, deodorant) for this age in particular or do I just start exploring adult products?

He just switched away from tear free shampoo a year ago....😩

My son is 10 and asked for face wash. I went to Walmart but didn’t really see anything geared toward teens or gentle. I got clean and clear face wash. Im betting target would have had more but I wasn’t making a second stop lol.
ETA: he just uses adult deodorant.

I really like the clearisal pads at that age and my older boys 17 and 15 use the clean and clear face wash. They seem to like it.

As for deodorant they have used the adult stuff since day one.

I started out with the teen deodorant but no idea on the boy side.

For face wash, the Neutrogena Oil Free Acne wash is really good. I would take him to the store or Target and let him smell different soaps and deodorants and choose. There isn’t a whole lot of difference among them unless he’s sensitive to certain ingredients. So basically the best thing is the one he will actually use, lol. Especially deodorant.

My boys aren’t there yet but Axe seems popular among that crowd. And I’d go straight to adult stuff because boys stink. My oldest is 7 and he stinks so much after sports already!! The shoes!!!!

Also what can I use to put in soccer cleats and shin guards to help with the smell!? Baby powder isn’t cutting it.

Stuff them with newspaper to absorb the moisture and then put them in a plastic bag and into the freezer.

I use a spray off of Amazon to kill the bacteria in my boxing gloves. It keeps the smell down too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This stuff works on DH's stanky shoes.

I bought this and just tried it. So far it’s making my hands itchy but hoping it does the same to the stink in his stuff. I’ll test in the morning!
