Acne.org Products
I am thinking of stopping my intake of birth control soon and I am terrified of the consequences. I went on birth control (aviane) when I was 15 to treat moderate acne. After a few months of taking that, my doctor switched me to an ultra low dose pill, alesse. Ever since then I have been taking the pill - now I am 27.
I realize I have a high chance of having terrible acne once I stop taking it. I have a little plan in mind, which is to "ween" off the pill, maintain a healthy diet, exercise and take supplements.
I am wondering if anyone who is prone to acne has success stories on either not breaking out at all, or clearing up their Acne after quitting birth control?
Hi Coldice
I actually just joined so I could post about my success coming off BCP and saw your post 
I came off the pill in June this year. I weaned off; so cut the pill and took 3/4 of it for 2 months, 1/2 of it for 2 months and finally a 1/4 for 2 months. During this time I was also using the acne.org regimen. Ive been using the regimen for years, but during the last month of weaning and after that, I have been strict with the regimen and have not used any other products. I do still break out, but it™s maximum 3 spots at a time normally during my time of the month which I can handle. I feel like the regimen has helped so much during the whole process of coming off the pill.
I used to get bad headaches on the pill and now that I have come off, feel so much better, although I felt so emotional at first.
So now it™s been about 6 months, and I don™t have any spots, and I am
Still using the regimen.
I hope this helps- good luck!
