"i get very sore, swollen, cyst like spots around my chin area, i would only get 2-3 at a time but they were so big &amp; sore! i used duac for a couple of years &amp; this worked, until a few months back when it became less effective. my doctor mentioned yasmin &amp; thought i would give it a go despite it&#039;s mixed reviews &amp; i am so glad i did! my skin has never looked so smooth on my face! i had one large spot a couple of weeks into using yasmin (this was normal as i always got these at this time of month) however the spot was gone in a couple of days &amp; usually they would be angry &amp; sore for weeks! since then, i have not had one cystic spot. i used to use microgynon 30 before i switched, &amp; other than better skin, i have had no other noticeable affects"
