Hi guys

Would really appreciate some comments/ advice from those who have experience with coming off BCP and dealing with post pill skin problems .

 

I've just started on a DIM supplement but I'm still getting some small spots .. Although no major breakouts yet since I stopped BCP 3 months ago!

 

I was on roaccutane for just under three months , two months ago- but couldn't continue due to the side effects

I'm getting more oily as the weeks go by and that's when I get breakouts so I'm thinking of adding saw palmetto as I've heard that can reduce the oil?

 

Does anyone know if it's ok to take DIM together with saw palmetto?

Otherwise would love to hear some success stories from those who have come off BCP without any major issues . I'm getting married soon so would love to have decent skin on the day ..

Thanks in advance !

I don't recommend saw palmetto for women. I tried it and would not take it again...I would say try spearmint tea or inositol first, although for me only inositol worked out of these 2.

Then again, DIM might be all you need. I suggest adding 1 supplement at a time to see what works & what doesn't.

Other options could be: evening primrose oil and vitamin C.
