She has been breaking out alot on her forehead around her hairline and in the t-zone. She doesn't wear makeup yet, but maybe eyeshadow or lipgloss. What are the BEST products for her that won't break her out more, but will help clear it up and control the oil?

Oxy 10 face wash & Pan Oxyl bars are the best benzoyl peroxide products I've tried.
Neutrogena makes some good acne treatments too.
Aveeno Positively Clear face pads have salicylic acid which helps keep pores clear. Each pad has a smooth side & a textured side. The textured side is good for extra exfoliation.
Clay masks are good too. I like Beauty without Cruelty & plain Milk of Magnesia. Just apply a thin layer of milk of magnesia where needed. Let it dry for 15 minutes or so. Rinse off w/ cool water & a wash cloth. This helps absorb excess oil w/o irritating the skin.
If OTC products don't work w/in a couple of weeks, then take her to a dermatologist. Acne itself isn't a big deal, but you do want to avoid any scarring. It's really good that you are taking an active role in this.

I am 13 too and this is what i use: Neutragena acne wash. It eliminates the oily skin w/out over-drying the face! And its very easy! It even eliminates cold sores!!

If I were you I would take her to a dermatologist. If she is wanting to wear more make-up, they can perscribe or give you a sample of a foundation that you mix with color to match your skin tone.
