Hi guys,
been on yasmin for the second time now. Im currently 12 weeks on the pill and still breaking out on my cheeks. Why am i still breaking out, isnt 12 weeks the optimal time to clear skin?:(
woke up with 2 small pustules on my cheek that actually sting:( is yasmin not working?

Hi, I'm hoping i can help you out a little bit. This was about two years ago now, but Yasmin was not working for me and I knew it after three months but kept on it for over a year.....it continued to make my skin worse and worse and worse until i needed my first course of accutane solely because of what yasmin did to my skin. In hindsight, I would have gotten off of it much sooner or never taken it at all if possible. If you're only getting 1-2 small pimples throughout the month than it might clear up thats not a big deal but if you're breaking out pretty consistently id say trust your gut and get off it, have your hormones tested, and find a different BC pill based on your results to have a better idea of knowing which ones will work better than others.

Thanks so much im afraid that it will make my skin really bad too although i cant understand why. The first time it took about 5 months for yasmin to make a noticeable improvement in my skin, so i'm going to wait til early-mid June then i'll ask the doctor to switch pills if it's still bad
Also, admittedly my diet is not great so that could contribute to breakouts
