Re: What's the BEST Birth control pill for acne prone skin

My skin got worse on ortho Tri cyclen Lo. I used it for 2 months. though my skin has gotten slowly progressivly bad. it worse fast during that last month on Lo. I hear alot of bad stuff about Lo. I think everyone is different. I have read a TON of posts on here and what I can conclude from what I have read on here is that Ortho Tricyclen Lo is bad. Ortho Tricylen (not lo) works for some bad for others. and This Yasamin and Deanete or whatever works good.... thats all I know. and thats based on if everyone on here is honest. I dotn knwo that everyone is

Re: What's the BEST Birth control pill for acne prone skin

ive been on ortho tri cyclen for awhile now and it drastically improved my skin to the point that im afraid to ever go off it!!
which leads me to a question.. does anyone know if the generic type of ortho tri cyclen has the same effect of skin improvement as the brand name one? i would assume it does, but i was just wondering if anyone uses this

Re: What's the BEST Birth control pill for acne prone skin

Ortho Tri Cyclen completely cleared up my mild acne. It was great. Then I was on Mircette and Alesse which made my forehead constantly break out and I got occassional breakouts on my nose and chin. Now I'm on Ortho TriCyclen Lo which has been awful! I have mild acne on my face and it's given me shoulder and back acne. I've never had shoulder or backacne before!

Re: What's the BEST Birth control pill for acne prone skin

Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo SUCKS for acne. I have been on it for 11 months...only because nothing else is covered by my insurance! It is so inconsistant....some weeks my skin is really clear and some weeks are horrible!! Grrrrr!!!

I have my annual gyno appointment on the 23rd and am hoping to be put on either regular OTC, Yasmin, or Desogen (whatever is cheapest)! I don't care if it costs me more money, I just want clear skin!
