I don't know if this is allowed here but I forgot to mention my over the counter acne products when I got put on birth control. Is the pill any less effective with benzoyl peroxide gel,salicylic acid, and witch hazel? These are all applied topically. I'm hoping someone on here knows the answer. I don't want to relay on something that isn't going to be effective because I use these medications.
Highly highly unlikely in my opinion.
Only a small amount of it would get into your blood stream and wouldn't likely affect the hormonal action of the pills. Only oral antibiotics & accutane have been significantly noted to affect the pill.
