My daughter has just turned 12 and has bad acne already.
Does anyone have an easy skin care regime or any tips?
She is very physically mature for her age also, but still quite naive.

Get her skin looked at by her GP to check if her acne is infected.
Something simple like cetaphil. Sometimes it’s worth a chat with a dermatologist.
My kids use Rodan + Fields Soothe wash, very gentle & helps!
They also have a range called Spotless, specifically for teens.
Contact me if you want to know more 😊
I recommend Thursdays plantation - they do an acne wash and a spot gel. It's all natural and works great. Both my daughter and myself use it.
If that doesn't help ease them, I'd be looking into seeing a GP. As someone who suffered severe cystic acne as a teen, if you not seeing any benefits from off the shelf products it's time to see a GP.
PHisohex has worked well for my son, doesn't clear his skin up Completly but has improved it heaps - I figure some spots are part and parcel of puberty
