Question about a good birth control for acne?

I know that different birth controls affect everyone differently, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to me and could recommend a good birth control. I used to be on TriSprintec and that COMPLETELY cleared up my skin, but I gains 20 lbs that didn't come off no matter what I did...so I went off the pill and lost the weight immediately. The acne came back so I went on Aviane and my skin only got worse, it was really bad so I switched to Loestrin (which is what I am on now) and again my skin is continually getting worse. I think I need to go back on something similar to TriSprintec but I am afraid that I will gain all that weight back. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have heard about Yaz but I also know that it is somewhat controversial as far as side effects.

    There is a simpler non-prescription way to deal with it.

    One simple step that works to keep acne away.

    Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) face pads help keep acne away by scrubbing open clogged pores, oily residues and exfoliation. Feel a pimple coming just wet a pad, place it on the pimple and remove it when dry. Sit back and watch pimple disappear. Works on body acne too.

    These pads also help reduce skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars).

    Try it and see the difference.
