"i&#039;m 18 years old and i started this birth control 3 months ago. i went on birth control specifically for my acne and my irregular periods. this birth control did the exact opposite of helping my acne. in the beginning i broke out extremely on my forehead and hair line. they aren&#039;t even pimples just huge bumps and you can&#039;t do anything about. it is my 3rd month taking it and i&#039;m still breaking out. i absolutely do not recommend this birth control for the use of acne. however, this did make my period very consistent, extremely light, and barely any cramps"
