He or she should have suggested a new course of action since the first one didn't work. If that wasn't the case, it might be worth seeing a different dermatologist for a second opinion. [ Daimeera's advice column | Ask Daimeera A Question ]

I would also recommend trying Noxema Cream, if you have not already. I have used this personally (as I do everything I recommend, it's my rule), and have noticed not only does it keep my skin clear, but it also does not make my skin shiny/oily.

It's called Almay and you can get it at some CVS stores I think, oh, and when you get it, I wouldn't get the Toner, just get the wash and then the lotion! Hoped I helped!
