I : I would consider either cerave hydrating cleanser or cetaphil cleanser. Both are gentle, fragrance free, and don't tend to try out the skin. Make sure that your daughter is patient and thorough with the washing process because many kids that age don't spend the time to wash properly! i also like their moisturizer lotions to use if there is still dryness of the face after cleansing. I hope that helps!

Exfoliant: Any commercial gentle exfoliant without oils or crimes will do. Blocking of skin pores can result with crimes and lotions and produce the acne, not prevent it.
