I have been on seasonale for just about 2 1/2 years now and very much enjoy it. I got no side affects at all, even till this day. Regarding your question, now that I think about it more, when I started taking seasonale, I did have bad acne, within a month of being on the pill, my acne vanished for good. I never thought it was the pill curing my acne, I just thought I was growing out of that phase. So now the only time I do see a small pimple developing (the most maybe 3), is a week before my period. All congrats to the pill!
