i've tried everything from vaseline to lotion to cream, and he just rubs them all off, which makes his face even redder. any suggestions? because i hate to see him in pain like that.
I do know none of it hurts his face or stinks
its from the cold weather, i put it on him before he sleeps, he wipes it off when he is in bed. I know he is not allergic to any of it. If it does stay on, it works perfect and stays moisturized.
he is 12.

My first thought is that you might try putting a light coat of hydrocortisone cream (Costco sells it inexpensively) on his face, avoiding the eye area, right after dinner for a few nights, and maybe distract him a little while it's sinking in. (See? It's gone! Nothing to rub off!) Maybe.....!
I find Aveeno lotion to be very soothing -- and it doesn't require a heavy coat, so maybe you could even get HIM to put on a layer right after dinner. If he decides he wants his skin to feel good, it might become worth it to him. :)

I'm afraid if he is that old he has to want it on his face. If he will let you try this stuff called Aquphor. Its like Vaseline but better.

Aquaphor made by Eucerin . Found in the lotion aisle of just about any store (drug, supermarket, walmart). It rubs in very easily!

he wipes it off in his sleep i take it. i think you should try putting the lotion on sooner then right before he goes to bed. when it sinks in then let him goe to bed. maybe that will work?
