Hi,

I have adult cystic acne and am at the point where the next thing to try is birth control pills. I'm looking for one that has very little progesterone, because I'm prone to depression and the progesterone in BC pills can exacerbate it.

So...anybody know which has the least progesterone: Alesse, Ovcon35, or Diane35? And is one of these better for acne than the others?

Thanks!

Anita
