"i wish this was around back when i was in high school!  i have struggled with acne for my whole teen/adult life.  i have taken yaz on and off for 8 years now, and my skin never looks better than when i&#039;m on yaz.  the doc took me off last year because i was getting headaches and she was concerned the estrogen in the pill was causing it, but after a year on the mini pill with the same frequency of headaches and the added terribleness of deep cystic acne, i am happily back on yaz and already seeing an improvement in my skin.  only complaint (mainly from my husband) is a slightly lowered sex drive."
