Niks Maple Clinic

This clinic has attained sort of a cult status online, with many proclaiming that Niks Maple is one of the best clinics around dealing with skin (especially facial) problems. Having read beforehand on the forums that I might be expected to queue for hours on end to see the doctor, I decided to reach the clinic at 8am on a weekday morning in hopes of cutting down the waiting time.
It turns out I was the first in line, so I’d recommend you arrive between 8−10am. Queues tend to form later in the day, especially lunch hours and after. The staff at the counter were quite patient and pleasant, if impersonal in their interactions with me. The doctor (Dr Serene Ang) was soft-​spoken and nice, carefully explaining the products that she recommended and how to use them. At the dispensing counter, the staff repeated those instructions and gave me time to record them down.
While the price of a first consultation with medicine was pretty steep ($ 150), the clinic provided a host of products: cleanser, acne gel, moisturiser, day cream (sunscreen), night cream, and pimple cream. Two weeks in and I’ve gone past the purging phase, and can sense no irritation on my skin. The cleanser is very mild, perfect for those with sensitive skin. The acne gel is cooling but not drying, and the moisturiser is not overly oily. The good thing about the sunscreen is that it doesn’t smell funny and also isn’t oily.
