Girls, Have you ever taken birth control pills to clean your acne?

[Anonymous]

If yes, did it really work?

I'm considering using that but I fear it would have some other impacts on my health...

That's what I began taking mine for, it works but you should still take care of your face because it doesn't completely did you of acne. Mine lessens the major break outs I used to get towards the time of my period.

Yes, and it didn't work.
I really wouldn't recommend it because it's only a temporary solution, once you go off it, it come's back, and sometimes even worse.

It didn't work at all?
But there seems to be no permanant solution...

Try to figure out why you have acne. Is it due to hormonal problems? Are you allergic to anything?

[Asker]

It is hormonal, so I guess that the birth control pill is the only way out.

Yes it might help you then. I hope it does! (: I know how difficult it can be dealing with acne
