Starting Yasmin - Acne Message Board

DenverGal · 01-08-2003, 08:57 PM

I am started Yasmin next week and I am excited... I hope it works. I am nervous because I wonder if it will make my face worse for a while after I start it (I'm not sure that is possible since my face is sooo bad right now). Did any of you experience that or did it clear up right away? Any other negative effects? I'm nervous but I'm going to go ahead with it and give it at least a couple of cycles. Wish me luck!

Hey. I had an initial breakout in the first month. It was not too severe. It cleared up by the end of the month, and in the 3rd month I'm doing much better. Good luck!

Dear Denvergal,

Yasmin cleared my skin straight up, within the first few weeks I took it. Not sayin' that I have NO zits, just less, and it gets better with each day that goes by. I highly recommend it for any woman looking for a BCP for her acne. Good luck!

I don't want to scare you or anything but I had a bad initial breakout on Yasmin. It took weeks to heal. But I am on my 5th pack now, ready to go on my 6th and my face is looking really good. I only use 2-3 products on my face (cleanser, moisturizer, and Copper Peptide Serum) and take Yasmin. I am a MUCH happier person now and I feel like my normal self again. If it were not for the red marks left behind, which are slowly fading, my face would be almost completely clear. Hang in there...it will work in time. Good luck

I too am starting Yasmin next week (actually tomorrow)! I am SO excited! I am taking it for hair loss primaraly but also REALLY hoping it will clear my mild/moderate (but always persistant) acne. I also have very oily skin and hair and am hoping it might get a little better.
Please post how you are doing on it in the weeks to come. I pray success for both of us!
