The first bcp I've ever tried for my acne was ortho novum but the type of progestin in it didn't do anything for my skin. So my doc switched me to desogen because she raved about the type of progestin in it being very low in androgen potency. So I started and I've been on it for about six months. I take the generic for desogen which is apri. My skin has cleared quite a bit but its still not 100%. My face is still red and a little oily, and the whiteheads won't go away. I also get small red bumps here and there that leave scars. I'm pretty frustrated. I was thinking of going back to my doc and asking for ortho cyclen because norgestimate seems to be another low androgenic progestin. I feel like i havent found the perfect pill yet. Anyone have experience with this pill? How do you like it for acne? Thanks in advance
I was on desogen (apri) for about 4 months I think. For some reason I felt very oily on while on it. Even my neck and chest were sort of oily so I switched back to zovia. I love zovia. It gives me 3 day periods, no cramps, and better skin. It doesn't clear me up completely, but it does a better job than any other pill I've tried (other than yaz and yasmin which made my hair fall out).
