What is the best birth control pill for acne?


I really want a great birth control pill that will clear up my acne... Right now I'm on Yaz. Will that one help me?

i think a lot of them do help... i'v only been on the pill and ortho evra..(the patch) and they both worked for that
Hmm.. I don't know that much about birth control pills, but proactiv face cleanser works great!
Orthotricyclen
No that one will only maintain it... try orthotricyclen! The FDA has approved low-dosage birth-control pills (Ortho Tri-Cyclen and generic norgestimate/ethinyl estradiol) for use in the treatment of acne. In Canada, Diane-35, a combination of cyproterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol is approved for the treatment of acne (Source: Skin Therapy Letter, 1999, volume 4, number 4). Depending on your lifestyle and medical history, you could solve two problems with one prescription.

How does the birth-control pill work on acne? Increased oil production can be caused by the body's androgen (male hormone) production, which can be highest just before menstruation starts. It appears that low-dosage birth-control pills can decrease the presence of excess androgens, thereby decreasing breakouts. They work particularly well when used in conjunction with other therapies such as topical antibacterial agents or tretinoins (Source: Skin Therapy Letter, February 2001, pages 1鈥?). For a lot of women this is no surprise. Many have noticed an improvement in their skin after they started taking birth-control pills.
Now that stuff works great. After one month, my oily break out skin was clear!
