My 18 year old daughter is on 25mg Paxil and 1mg Risperdal and has developed really bad acne problem, and I am wondering if it is one of these drugs that is causing it.

Acne is one of the side effects listed for Risperdal

But not for Paxil

At least not on that description, but the advice for both drugs that "If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor promptly," is the place to start.

It seems logical that perhaps one or the combination is causing this. Maybe even the dose strength.

Check with her physician for that and to rule out any new problem.
