Hi guys :)

 

Just gonna start my Yasmin-Log here.

 

Pre-Yasmin - clogged pores on cheek, some tiny bumps on forehead, chin = disaster

Day 1 - day 7 : nothing to report

Day 7 - day 14 : 1 cyst on chin (gone now), some pimples on chin, slightly more clogged pores on cheek

 

I'm on day 16 now, and not very much has changed. Chin is still a disaster and the rest pretty much clear besides some clogged pores.

 

Never had chest acne, so that's still clear. Back has some tiny pimples (which I had before). And the thing I'm thrilled about, my neck completely cleared up! I had really stubborn tiny pimples in my neck, and those are almost completely gone..

 

 

So for now I'm pretty satisfied with Yasmin. I've been feeling sick a couple of hours, and I've had some foodcraving, but nothing serious. Only thing I'm not happy about are the galore of pimples on my chin.. Oh well.

Chest & Back = clear, neck = almost clear.

2nd strip, day 4

 

Chin still disaster, rest pretty much clear. I think I must be gratefull for the fact that I'm only having an IB on my chin, the rest has pretty much stayed the same or got a little clearer. Boobs are a tiny bit bigger, no weight gain. I'm very happy so far!

So glad to know you are happy with Yasmin and the results work faster for you. I too have been on Yasmin and been using it for 8 months now. So far it cleared my skin, but I can never forget how this pill gave me my life's worst breakout the second month of using it. Only when I reached 6 months that my skin slowly starts clearing up. Just be patient. Good luck!

2nd strip day 7

 

Forehead and cheeks still fairly clear (some clogged pores/blackheads)

Chin disaster started to scab, only thing that's left is a whitehead and some red/brown marks.

 

I just hope I already had my IB and it starts to clear up from now.

2nd strip day 11

No cystic pimples on chin anymore, just red marks and 1 pustule.

 

Buttttttt... got a pustule above my mouth, and a really large double-pimple just next to my eyebrow. They just got infected over night and I'm feeling really down about my face right now. Such a bummer cuz the rest is pretty much cleared, and this ruins everything.

2nd strip day 14

 

Chin is almost cleared up, got a zit above my lip but it's like gone now with a little scab but nothing red (not noticable)

Got like cyst-thing next to my eyebrow, tried to squeeze but didn't work, so now it has been a scab for the past 3 days. No bump, no pain, so I'm hoping it will flake off in 2 days.

 

If those things are gone, I'm almost clear :)

2nd strip, day 16

 

Chin has only some tiny bumps, and red marks from the IB.

That cyst-thing next to my eyebrow is now just a light red mark.

Only pimple I actually have is on my cheekbone. It was a skincoloured bump for like weeeeeeks, and it finally decides to get infected 2 days ago (I drained it perfectly) and now it's just a red scab. It doesn't hurt anymore :)

 

So I'm getting pleased with yasmin. It feels like all those tiny bumps are getting pushed out, skin is getting smoother :)

I was put on the generic form of yaz, my ob gyn doesn't give yaz out anymore. I would look into that. I did break out a bit more for two months. I am also on the regimem, and doing great :) Good luck to you, and hang in there!

That sounds great! I'm almost done with month 2, still breaking out a little more then before (especially chin)

Halfway through the first month, and beginning of 2nd month I experienced cystic bumps on my chin. (those are gone now)

It seems like I'm just getting whiteheads now, and former bumps are pushed out.

 

So I'm guessing I will do a lot better in about a month :)

2nd strip day 19

Well, seems like everything is calming down. I'm just getting some tiny bumps on my forehead, which look just like freckles.

Cheeks remain clear mostly (only have one red mark on my cheekbone from a clogged pore which became infected)

chin is still a bit bumpy.

 

Guess It's true everything clears up nearing month 3

3rd strip day 4

 

Yeah I skipped my period, didn't feel like it this month.

Skin SUCKS right now.

 

I know that you're supposed to get an IB with Yasmin. First month was only localized on my chin, 2nd month it's still localized on my chin, just a little less. But now the clogged pores on my rightcheek are pushed out. I got 1 pustule on my rightcheek, and a red mark from the pustule before this one -.-

Forehead is still the same, just getting some tiny whiteheads.

 

I know Yasmin is working, because my neck/back/chest stay clear most of the time, and I'm not getting pustules on my higher cheekbones anymore (and I got always 1 a week) But this sucks, I'm entering my 3rd month and I just want this *** to be over with. I hope once this pustule on my cheek goes down, everything is smooth sailing for my cheeks. This was the last clogged pore that needed to be pushed out. Left cheek is still very smooth.

3rd stip day 17 I guess

 

Skin is doing normal.

Some tiny pimples on my chin (no cysts, THANKGOD)

Cheeks still clear, and 1 whitehead on my forehead.

 

Guess it will take me another month to be completely clear.

Feeling positive!

 

Oh and my neck = totally cleaaaar! Always had some painful pimples there, but they are GONE!

 

And yeah I've been eating *** this last week, a lot of unhealthy things, and of course alcohol and stuff.

That's definitely why I'm having a whitehead on my forehead, I tend to get those when I eat like crap. But still, it's only one :)

Period-week

 

So I just ended my 3rd strip, and I already got some breakthroughbleeding, so I guess my period will come full force tomorrow.

Skin is still struggling.

 

My chin doesn't want to clear up, it's just pustule after whitehead after cyst after whitehead after pustule. This morning it seems like it might clear up from now.. My chin is pretty much flat with only some tiny scabs/bumps. So we'll see!

 

Forehead and cheeks are clear, but I got 1 red bump just above my mouth, which is such a pain in the ass because those tend to linger a long time, but I'm keeping my hands off!

 

So things aren't too bad, it's just light acne. I'm really hoping that after my period things will clear up in strip 4, most of the time it seems like that's the magical strip when everybody seems to start clearing right? It's just so strange that my IB only hits on my chin, not even on my jawline, just the 2 sides of my chin..

I think Yasmin kicked in.

I'm not getting pimples anymore, just random tiny red/white bumps, which will go in 2 days. My last real pimple was like over a week ago.

I still have some clogged pores and tiny bumps, so we'll see if they get pushed out, or if they'll go for themselves!

 

I'm like a week into my 4th package.
