"i began birth control around 6months ago, before starting i had absolutely no problems with my skin. the first pill i tried was cilest which i stuck out for 4 months- awful!! my face was covered in painful lumps/acne, i waited it out as recommended for 3 months but no improvements, it only got worse. i went back to the doctos and he gave me yasmin which i have been on it for 2 months, i have noticed such an improvement in my skin- especially my chin area which was the worst affected. i can&#039;t say it&#039;s perfect my forehead is still angry and i have marks from where the huge lumps were but after only 2 months i can&#039;t complain! definitely recommend to try for anyone who reacted badly to an older harsher pill&#039;s"
