My 10yo uses my Sukin sensitive products and it's lovely on her skin.

I too am all for light, natural ingredients at this age. However, knowing my daughter has acne prone skin (hereditary) I have had to up the strength to cetaphil. I’d also suggest a light moisturiser to be included in whatever skin routine your helping her implement.

Also make sure she's washes her face at night and pillow cases are changed regularly, the dirts and oils from the face are on the pillows and is an area responsible for acne that many people don't realise

Acne soap bar, an alcohol based toner and a tiny bit of oil free moisturiser. If breakouts are frequent skip the moisturiser. I don't think the brand matters, we have nutrogena at home but have used other brands and it's all the same.

There's no mention of acne just that she wants to start her off on the right foot of learning to take care of her skin.
That's a very harsh routine for normal skin. Also skipping moisturiser is never a good idea, your skin then overcompensates and produces more oil
