birth control pills can also be used to regulate your periods if u had eregular(sp) ones as well as treating acne.

I took these for the extra bonus of it helping with my acne. My biggest mistake because after taking them for 3 months I gained 50+ pounds. I would rather have had acne if I could take it back. This is just my experience.

All hormonal birth control can be used to treat acne. Its a pleasant side effect of sythetic hormones regulating your stystem.

I took it for 5 years and yes it is supose to help with acne, I don't think it is just perscribed for that use though.

I think it works the same, because the hormone already a little bit less than the regular one. but the regular one works like miracle, my skin clear and acne free because of that thing. Good luck

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

All those hormones can help clear up your face- my birth control helped my acne too (when I was still on it)
