month 5 finally completely clear on SPIRO- was it yasmin that screwed me up last month? HELP!

so the other morning i woke up with glowing flawless skin and i was shocked because only two weeks ago i was getting really bad break outs. i am on month 5 or spiro and have been on yasmin for three months prior to this- i was wonderin if anyone can tell me whether the fact that i was on my last, inactive pills in the bcp package may have something to do with my being clear? isit perhaps the yasmin that was causing my body to breakout or is this just a fluke....

i really want to know about what hormone levels are like in your body if you are taking yasmin for three months- does your body still have the ffect during those inactive pills? or is it a real bbreak from the bcp--- i need to know so i can stay clear! cos ill go off it if the bcp is responsible! but i love the other side efects of yasmin

maybe this is just when spiro starts to really kick in?

please, help! im so confused

does spiro effect blackheads?

i've just started spiro and my worst enemies are hard plugs and black heads around my nose and in between my eyebrows
i was wondering if spiro helped with these for all you veterans??
and how long it took to see a result? im on day 4 and feelin good

My Spiro Log

Hello all, i love this web site!

i'm starting on spiro at 50mg a day. i hope to update weekly or daily (when im feeling most aggrivated, i bet ) and i'll tell you about myself... I was on accutane (check out the link) and it worked wonders. i had acne on my back and chest. now it has been over three years since i finished accutane and these days i have breakouts that are getting close to what i used to deal with (on my face, and little papules on my chest sometimes around my period)

i am not putting up with it! so here we are: i am 22, single and with mild to moderate acne. it flares up the most in the week before my period... so here we are:


this is day two!

i have three pimples and tons of red marks. fingers crossed! love to hear your stories, from the ladies on spiro

xoxooooooooo

my regimen:

50 mg spiro (the new addition to my day)
10 % bp gel from clean & clear (imported from the states, haha) in the evening
clean and slear 5% sacylic acid astringent (morning and night)
clinique's super defense moisturizer




ps- does spiro reduce blackheads as well?

body exfoliation and tane

okay,
firstly, thank you for reading this thread!

i have started shaving my legs in spite of the winter, sometimes other things necessitate shaving other than wearing minis.... and unfortunately the ape look went out witht he stoneage so i am wondering, since the only way i avoid ingrowns is by exfoliating my legs in between shaving, if this is very harmful on tane? i am hyper aware of how fragile the skin on my face is, and that exfoliating ones face is a big no-no, but i am curious about the effects ont he rest of the body?

mainly becaus ei havea scar on mu upper thigh that has been healing for about 5 months now and i am curious about the effects of exfolition teamed with accutane on this region?

please post!!!! any info u have on body exfoliationa dn its efect on the cells and layersof skin is highly valuable....
thank you!

ps...

WEEK 6 ON ROACCUTANE

HEY ALL
i am on week 6 and im wondering- is this a turning point? can i expect things to maybe even off right now. i hear the initial is supposed to happen withint he first 6 wks, so therefore i sort of infer that after this point things shouldnt be as flare-y and spontanious as they have been (2 major flare-ups) ANYWAY, as it seems things r subsiding, i wonder if those deeper into their course can say what it was like in mid month 2? wAS THIS a time of levelling off?
thank you so much for reading
& posting(in advance)
