Have you tried Proactiv? A cousin of mine had really bad skin in her teenage years and it improved drastically after using Proactiv. It's supposedly the number one anti-acne product in the States. She also overhauled her diet in general -- not too sure if there's any scientific truth to it but she literally stopped eating oily food, junkfood and fastfood. She only drank water for years. Doesn't sound too fun for a teenager but she was really disciplined and I'm glad her efforts paid off. Some of my friends had irregular periods when they were young and had to take birth control to regulate their periods; their skin condition improved after taking the pills, I suppose because their hormones were regulated too and so the hormonal teenage acne went away. Dermatologist wise, I've heard that Dr Lim Kah Beng is really good. His prescription of medication and creams usually does the trick, some claim that their acne cleared up in 2-3 months. Last I heard, per consultation, was about 100++ with medicine and cream. Not too sure how much he charges now. K B Lim Skin Clinic 6 Napier Road #09-06 Gleneagles Medical Centre Singapore 258499
