If you're female, a "good" birth control for acne (such as Yasmin, Yaz, Diane-35, or Ortho Cyclen) will change your hormones so that your hormones stop stimulating oil production constantly. You can also ask for spironolactone, which is anti-androgen, but it is harder to get prescribed for acne. Both of these options will also stop the pimples.

If you're male, you can use saw palmetto extract and stinging nettle extract if you want to go natural. They are basically male-safe versions of spironolactone. Other than that, your only real option is Accutane. Accutane temporarily decreases testosterone and temporarily shrinks your sebaceous glands.
