I'm really struggling with a lot of pimples on my face recently and it's quite frustrating. I've been using acnelak facewash and acnesol cream, but they don't seem to be making any difference. My skin is pretty oily, and I'm not sure what else to try. Could you recommend any medicine or cream that might work for me?

It seems like your current treatment is not effective for your oily skin. I recommend trying a combination of benzoyl peroxide and adapalene gel. You can use Benzac AC gel (2.5%) in the morning and Differin gel (0.1%) at night. Make sure to apply a thin layer on the affected areas after washing your face. Remember to use a gentle cleanser suitable for oily skin and apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness.
