Hormonal Acne

Alright, I have determined that my acne is a result of my hormones. Whenever I get my period, I break out. And this time I kinda broke out alot. I've had it, and made an appointment with my doctor to get me some birth control. So the question is, which one helps THE MOST with acne? I'm thinking about getting that Seasonale stuff just because you only get 4 periods a year, and I can really do without a period because I get really bad cramps, nausea and fatigue. But does it help with acne as well?

Re: Hormonal Acne

Ok...I'm just like you, I only break out during my period. Here's the 2 BCP that didn't work for me (in fact made my acne worse): Yasmin (awful), Ortho Tri Cyclen (not as bad). Desogen is the only one that worked in controlling my hormonal acne. My skin is much better now that I don't take any BCP. I'm taking 100mg of spiro and getting high grade glycolic peels one a month when my skin begins to get bumpy.
