birth control and acne?

It might take some time to find a birth control pill that works for you. I have been on many including Ortho tricyclen and the best I found for me was Yasmin it is the only pill I have taken (been taking bc pills for 10 years) that not only cleared up my facial acne but the large cystic acne on my back. This is just my own personal experience, Yasmin also got red of my slight facial hair.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL

1/ Never, ever touch your face.

2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.

3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal

4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.

Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.

5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.

6/ Do this for 90 days.

7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a

nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

Yes it absolutely helped my acne. It was the only thing that made a drastic difference for me. Unfortunately I now have high blood pressure and had to get off of it. But I used ortho tri. It really made a difference I was very disappointed when I had to get off of it. I now use different acne medications and I also get facials once a month. One of the best things for acne is Microdermabrasion, it is really good even for mild acne. I would recommend trying a facial and microderm(which you can get from an esthetician) before trying birth control pills. Getting a microdermabrasion treatment will help your acne and will smooth out your skin. You should look into it.

I use a low dose estrogen birth control and it almost cleared up my acne completely...of courses when T.O.M. visits, it gets a little aggravated(the acne)...Also, it could take a while to clear up. But it does work! I hope I helped you!!! Oh, also, before I used Birth Control, I used Differin on the acne, which also worked great! If you don't want to use a B.C. then thats the way to go...if you have suckish periods like me, then use the B.C....it'll help in both areas! lol

ciao for now,

tara =D

Any hormone based birth control is good. I had problems REALLY bad when i was a teenager and i used the patch and my acne cleared up like magic.

of course, it goes two ways. one is that it will clear up, for some ppl things get worse. so talk to your doctor, he will help you figure out which is best for your body and your situation

Yes it is true. I noticed when I went off the pill my acne got much worse. The pill is also good for controlling your period and you are likely to have lighter periods not to mention the no pregnancy part. Yasmin is good but I take a generic called TriNessa because it is cheaper.

Yasmin is good. Ortho tricyclen is good. As well as the newest pill called Yaz. Almost all BC pills will clear up acne, though. But the aforementioned ones are the best.

Ortho Tri-Cyclen

I don't think using birth control to help your acne is the best idea. Talk to your dermatologist, pharmacist, or doctor about medicines to help reduce acne.

Good luck!

Acné, qué feo...

Yo mismo he pasado por un problema grave de acné y me he dado cuenta de que todos los medicamentos que existen para curar el acné en realidad sólo son remedios temporales para los síntomas, y algunos de ellos son agresivos para nuestro propio cuerpo y pueden llegar a hacernos daño si tenemos algún descuido.

¿Mi consejo? Que ataques a la raíz del acné y no a sus síntomas. Toma este enlace, es de lo mejor que hay, y mucha suerte:
