"i am 30 years old and i have never taken birth control pills before. i had skin that was so dry that every morning the skin on my cheeks flaked off. it almost looked like a bad sunburn that resulted in peeling skin. my right cheek was so red and inflamed but after taking the first pill, i noticed a difference the very next day. i have taken 7 pills and so far so good. my cheeks are soft and finally look like regular skin. the redness on my right cheek is fading and it doesn&#039;t hurt to apply makeup anymore. i am so excited to see how much better my skin gets. no side effects yet. i hope i don&#039;t get any when i get to the other colored pills."
