Legal Question in Product Liability in California

My 16 year old daughter had the occasional pimple. She purchased the Clean and Clear Advantage kit by Johnson and Johnson, used it three times and broke out into the worst case of acne, red, burning skin and dryness I've ever seen. (I took pictures) She missed a day of school, missed her club volleyball practice, and therefore will miss the first game in her tournament this weekend. I took her to the Dr.and he had to put her on Minicyline for a month. Do we have a case?
