I kept thinking about this thread so I wanted to throw this out there.

For the oily skin, one of the absolute best things you can do is to get sulfate-free cleansing products and shampoo. When I switched to sulfate-free products, I saw a dramatic decrease in oiliness on my face, body, and scalp. It happened for me right away as soon as I switched, but some people say it took time for their skin to adjust to it. Anyway, sulfate-free products are becoming more common, and it would be an easy change for your daughter to make without having to interfere too much with her lifestyle. It might be worth trying.

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh!!!!  :-)
THAT is a big help for us to look into, thank you.

To follow up, the meds are:
Blisovi, 24 Fe : Norethindrone acetate and ethyl estradiol tablets 1 mg (with ferrous fumarate tablets, 0.02 mg)
Citalopram HBR 40 mg (1X daily)

I've been thinking we should even treat her as MTF transgender, but I'm very concerned about too much exogenous estrogens...  BO would likely help the most.  But, she has low body temperature (95-96 degrees). :-(

Feel sorry for her, but then I recall she's not good about keeping up with her meds...  and I care less.  ;-)  :-P

I really hope the sulfate free products help! They're getting much easier to find these days too!

Bovine ovary won't work unless she finds a way to increase her body temperature. I think body temperature needs to be over 98.2F/36.8C. I noticed when I started bioidentical hormone therapy, my body temperature increased on its own. I also had an autoimmune disease that attacked my thyroid so I think getting a handle on that helped as well.

Yes, pills will not do everything for you. You have to be diligent in taking them and you have to help yourself! Just taking pills will not make up for bad lifestyle choices. It might just be a matter of growing up too.
