Generally, when we say sensitive skin, especially in kids, toddlers, and adolescents, there's a component of some sort of eczema or atopic dermatitis that is not bad enough to have a diagnosis, but enough to say, you know, I had sensitive skin. So Dove white bar soap is what I use for my kids. And I'm not sponsored by anybody either. But I think it's an amazing product because it's safe.

That's my face wash.

I have oily skin and I use the one that takes off more of the oil. So what you're looking for is defined by what bothers you or what your skin predicament is.

One, because they are told that cleansing will fix their skin issue. Or number two, they're told that some sort of organism is on their skin or some sort of bacteria that needs to be cleansed off to keep their skin healthy. Neither are true.
