Help for teenager
My teenage daughter suffers from an oily skin with related acne in the T section. We have tried numerous products eg. cetaphil, zimplex, garnier, acnet, innoxa young solutions, claerasil etc. Nothing seems to work and she is at a stage where she is very consious about herself. Please help. She has got a very sensitive skin. Thank you

Hi Marchelle
I'd suggest getting Benzac AC5 face wash from your pharmacy (ask the pharmacist!) as a start. Your doctor may also prescribe products such as topical or oral antibiotics (or a combination of the two) to help, while oral contraceptives or something like Roaccutane are other options.
My advice would be to discuss this with a dermatologis!
