it’s gentle and non-irritating for most. the ingredients list is simple (maybe even boring to some), but when you’re just starting out with skincare, simplicity is key.

another option. more expensive than CeraVe, but cruelty-free and good for acne. this is so much gentler compared to other acne cleansers like Proactiv that really dried out my pre-teen/early teenage skin.

this would be a really fun product for kids. i think it would especially be fun for them to use with their friends, like during sleepovers.

maybe a little more expensive than the other products here… but the bottle is HUGE and it’ll last a really long time.

actually a good acne spot treatment, and it’s affordable. but i’d personally avoid most of the other products from this brand. however, the 10% of benzoyl peroxide might be too much for a lot of people.

or this one - it’s cruelty-free and gentler (5% benzoyl peroxide as opposed to the 10% in the Clean & Clear)

these are also really cute and fun in addition to being very moisturizing. if you’re in the U.S., you can often find packs of these for cheap at tjmaxx.

it’s said to be good for fighting acne, and it has that Drunk Elephant-style pump that kids love without the DE price tag.

another simple, inexpensive option for a moisturizer. it can also be used during the daytime, as long as it’s followed up with sunscreen.

this great Korean sunscreen can be had for as low as $10 USD. just be sure to buy it from a reputable site like stylevana, yesstyle or from certain good ebay sellers, as there are unfortunately fake versions of this sunscreen.

i personally haven’t ever used this, but it’s said to be a dupe for the very popular Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen. it’s inexpensive, can be purchased from Kroger stores in the U.S., and it is well-liked by all ages.

an affordable lip balm in the trendy Glossier/Summer Fridays vein. comes in several different flavors and doesn’t contain irritants like menthol, peppermint or other essential oils.

this is a more conventional lip balm; there are no fun flavors/colors but it’s very soothing and great for cracked lips.
