Hello everybody! I made this topic to talk about my skin improvement after starting taking Yasmin BCP. I started to have acne about march of this year (2018) when I stopped BCP and started taking some psychiatric stuff to control physical issues related to stress. I started to get very sad and I looked for a dermatologist asap. I tried everything: spironolactone, topic retinoids, natural stuff and a lot of different types of BCP's; my exams were alright and even so my dermatologist insisted on the diagnosis of hormonal acne, I started to get skeptical about everything. Even having taking YAZ bcp and had no resultsshe recommended me to start taking the same hormone but in different brand and dosage: Yasmin.

It took about 8months to finally discover something that is really working for me.

- First Month taking Yasmin: in the first week my skin tarted to improve, the cystic acne that I had started to heal and dry slowly, the tiny bumps all over my face started to purge and my skin became smoother everyday.

- Placebo Week: some pimples were born in this week, about 3 or 4 but nothing cystic like before.

- 6th week on Yasmin: I don't have any active spots, just dark spots and some tiny bumps. My dermatologist prescribed me a manipulated acid with Azelaic Acid, Glycolic Acid and Zinc to fade the dark spots.

All I have to tell you is to be patient, it took about 8 months to discover the cure for my acne, listen your dermatologist and listen to you body.
