"looking over these reviews, it&#039;s such a relief to know that i am not alone in dealing with the horrible, embarrassing and painful cystic acne this has caused me. until starting, my (then) clear, flawless skin was the thing i liked best about myself. however, within a month, this had truly ruined my skin forever. excessive and deep cystic acne that did not respond to any dermatologist treatments and sent me into a spiral of low self-esteem. gyno insisted i stick with it for 6 months to see if it evened out. it did not! instead, what i&#039;ve been left with is unresponsive acne for the past two years (yes...1.5 years after i stopped taking this) because of this horrible pill. also, did not work properly and gave me 2 periods/month :) stay away!"
