birth control
"acne acne acne acne acne. If you have acne prone skin like me please DO NOT take this medication. Make sure you are on something that is MEANT for acne (yasmin, yaz, ortho tri cyclen, sprintec, etc) as microgestin is not specifically meant for acne and can actually make your skin worse. I did not know any of this before taking this birth control, so i let my doctor put me on what he called a "generic" pill that many people take. I could definitely see this pill working for an average individual with non acne-prone skin, however, this was not the case for me. My body never "adjusted" to the hormones as my gyno said and my breakouts just got worse and worse until i finally decided to stop taking it (9 months in) and my acne finally cleared."
