You can get the less expensive form of Diane-35, called Estelle-35 and from New Zealand, from Fanda in Central. The 3-pack is a bit cheaper than buying three separate packs. You should check with your doctor first though.

I read from the Telegraph that lakeland willow water help with skin allergies, acne, and eczema, but not sure if the water is available in Hong Kong

Hi there,

I've recently moved to Hong Kong and am looking for a good dermatologist/skin clinic, as my acne is out of control here.
I've been prescribed Roaccutane before back home in New Zealand and am seeking the same treatment.

Can someone point me in a good direction? I'm not looking for facials etc...

Cheers

I think Dr Desmond Yip is not a dermatologist, he is a GP only.

What is it about Hong Kong that has made so many people's skin worse? Mine too

I've got a book called 'The Clear Skin Diet' which has helped me improve my skin a lot - the authors (both doctors - one dermatologist and one GP with an interest in alternative health stuff) recommend treating acne through a combination of diet, exercise, sleep and stress-reduction. And at least if it doesn't work for your skin, you get healthier in the meantime!

where can i get these products ?

Need addresses of good skin clinics in HK. Please send me mails on zaaksugar@yahoo.com since I am traumatised with my acne scarring for almost 20 years. I am from India and I cannot trust the skin doctors here, one clinic I went to almost burnt my skin.
