"before getting on this, i was experiencing severe acne after having tried a new skincare system &amp; foundation. i didn&#039;t even know i was capable of having skin that bad. i was so embarrassed. i had never been on birth control before (i&#039;m 21), but i was desperate. i had my doctor prescribe this to me. i would say for the first month or so, my acne got worse - especially around my chin area. i also had terrible mood swings and depression in the beginning, but i kept going and my skin started to get clearer. then, right before starting my 5th pack, i broke out again. but it was like all the acne that had been underneath my skin came up and then disappeared. now on month 6, i&#039;m pretty much clear besides hyperpigmentation. be patient!!!"
