"28 yr old- healthy/active nurse.   always had minor acne since college but nothing like what i had a year ago last summer (2011). i blame it on yaz for messing up my hormones. painful cystic acne covered my jawline and forehead.  i&#039;m talking like 20  cysts at a time.  tried every otc washes, organic,  no caffeine, sugar, dairy,  you name it.  nothing worked.  even though i did not want to go on the pill, i had too.  ortho tri cyclen (no the generic) for almost 7 months and finally it&#039;s almost clear.  it was bad first few months but i stuck with it.  give it time. ps: generic is not the same as the real thing.  different fillers causes different reactions!"
