Why Dr. Dempsey Recommends Our Skincare for Kids: A Professional’s Take on JB SKRUB

We’re excited to announce that our skincare line has been officially welcomed into Dr. Dempsey’s clinic! Dr. Dempsey, a renowned dermatologist with years of expertise in the field, recently shared her thoughts on JB SKRUB in a video posted on her Instagram story.

Below, you can watch the video and read the full transcription of her review, where she explains why JB SKRUB is great for kids.

"Hey guys, happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a great start. I am standing here in my son's bathroom and I wanted to show you the JB SKRUB products that I'm bringing into our clinic - we've actually already started carrying because I am so excited about them."

"We are carrying their face line and it's three products. It's the face wash, face pads, and the face lotion. They also have body products, I haven't tried those, but I'm sure that they are absolutely phenomenal because these are like three of my favorite products ever. I've been working really hard over the past year researching and hunting skincare brands to really just like bring in the absolute best for various age groups into my clinic. This one fills such a void, and that void is the skincare for 8 to 16 year old boys. This is one of the harder demographics to get to wash their face and to get into a routine, and I think that these products are really going to help this age group and I want to show them to you."

"I love the face wash. I like it's foam."

"I know. We love them. These products are not just for boys. Definitely the branding is kind of geared towards preteen and teenage boys, but plenty of girls and like even myself, I have been using them and I really like them too."

"So the first is the face wash. This is the little mini size. In our clinic, we carry the full size. The price point of these products is right in line with CeraVe or Cetaphil, but the ingredients, in my opinion, are just better, as is the delivery system and the whole packaging, how they look on the shelf, that sort of thing. So really smart, moms developed this. When you have the products in your hand, you can understand and realize that definitely was a mom that knew what she was doing when she came up with these products. So with the face wash, it's a foaming pump. You're gonna just pump it out. We like a pump as opposed to a squeeze bottle, because children way overuse their products. It's extremely gentle. It feels so good on the skin. It foams up. There's also very clear and concise instructions on the bottle. It actually says on the back of it, real easy to read, ‘1. Pump, 2. Foam up your face, 3. Rinse off, you look good’ and I love that positive affirmation. I don't think kids can get enough positive affirmation. It feels amazing. What are you thinking?"

"I'm gonna rinse it off. It feels so good."

"The next thing is the face pads. Again, this is a really smart design. The lid flips up, and the lid flips down to keep them moist and from drying out. It's not a screw on, like toothpaste - you think about how many times people screw their toothpaste lids back on. So it comes with these pads. One side is our softer side, the other side is more of an exfoliating side. The pads are gentle, they have soothing ingredients in them, they do not tingle or sting like the pads that I remember using as a teenager did, and I could definitely see these being like an awesome thing to throw in a soccer or a basketball or a football bag. And after football practice, you wipe down because they have kind of a cooling, calming effect. They're not irritating."

"And then my absolute favorite product in the lineup is the face lotion. This lotion is really awesome. It is a pump and again, clear, easy to read instructions. ‘Pump twice in the hand, rub all over your face, stay soft and hydrated’ and it feels really good. It is lightweight, it is hydrating, it is not irritating, it does not sting if it gets in your eyes. But the best part about this is that it's not a moisturizer that makes somebody feel like dewy or glowy, or feel necessarily moisturized, because I don't know many boys or teenagers or men that want that feeling. It's oil-free and it feels like a matte almost, just completely weightless. I can see this being so wonderful for me to be able to add into any kind of acne routine."

"So this is a wonderful skincare line for acne-prone skin. Wonderful skincare line for kids to start on, because good habits develop early, and that's why I recommend around the age of eight to start washing, start moisturizing, get into that habit, make sure though that you're using the right products. There are so many products out there that are not good for skin, and I would absolutely not recommend an eight-year-old to use. This is an exception. This is fabulous for skin, fabulous for all ages."

"I love it, and I'm an eight-year-old."

"Really, really great, I think, for that 8 to 16-year-old boy demographic, very excited about it."
