"i&#039;ve been on this birth control pill since august 2014 and i will be stopping march 2016. i wanted to give it a fair shot to help my acne but i&#039;m now making a change to ortho tri-cylen. it didn&#039;t help my face, in fact, i think i just had a horrible breakout when i first started taking this pill and it went away but just last month i was terrorized by a wave of cystic acne on my cheeks so it&#039;s time to move on to something else. although it didn&#039;t help my face, it essentially cleared my back. unfortunately i do have hyper pigmentation from all the acne that was once there but that&#039;s better than having red/yellow, bumpy crocodile skin on my back. i am 115lbs right now and went up to 129lbs when i first started taking the pill."
