Face cleansing children under 10

Hi
I am looking for recommendations of face cleansing products for my kids aged 6 and 4. My 4 year old has a fair few blocked pores on her nose already (white in appearance). I suffered from pimples and black heads in late primary school and would like to have her in a good skin routine early on. Appreciate any advice from anyone that has experienced blocked pores in children.

At 4 and 6 their skin is still really delicate. The only thing they need is their faces washed with a warm cloth every morning and night, no soaps or anything - just water.

It sounds silly but does she eat a lot of chicken? The hormones they pump chickens full of can wreak havoc on our skin and bodies.
I'd look into her diet in any case, skin issues in kids is very often dietary. Possibly an intolerance of some sort!

I thought white dots were pretty normal? Just soap and water is all I would use on their skin at that age

Totally normal at this age and no prediction of what skin will be like as they age. Just wash face with a cloth in the bath.

Just water and a gentle soap. For the pores try steaming the face and then apply a cold wash cloth. If you find their skin needs some moisturiser just some plain vitamin e cream or something similar.
