oh sorry Karen! That was directed at amelia  As she uploaded pics earlier.. thought she could maybe upload her progress since then 

Could you post some update pics? I'm on yasmin too and want to see how you're getting along. Have you noticed any extreme facial dryness?

Mine is a generic, maybe thats why! I'll definitely discuss this with my GP. Have an appt next week.

I haven't dealt with what you are as I had acne before going on birth control but I've done extensive research into the matter and it seems your hormones are probably in a bit of a mess right now beca...

Googling this as we speak.. do you think generics make a difference compared to brand name?

My skin doesn't agree with oils. The dryness is so irritating that its not something i can bear with and I don't think it will just disappear or ease up after time so I'm really contemplating switchin...

So I have been on Yasmin for almost 3 cycles now. Finishing up my 3rd pack in 4 days. My breakouts have calmed down a lot BUT i have dry patches around my jawline/cheek/mouth area. Like really dry, ti...

Just posting a little update for whoever is interested. I just finished up my 2nd pack of generic Yasmin (yiznell in the UK) last night. I haven't had a cystic breakout/pimple in quite a while - can't...

I'm on a generic for Yasmin (Yiznell generic in UK) .. has anyone been on yasmin or a generic for acne? What has your experience been?

Thanks @Lexipixie I think I need to solve the underlying problem first which is my hormones. Its strange my skin will be looking okay for a day or two and then bam a new breakout. Currently dealing wi...

Karen, it's okay to have these days where you feel down about it. You're allowed to feel that way and don't let anyone tell you different. I'm sitting here typing this with my face slathered in aloe b...

Hey there, I completely understand how you're feeling. I've actually called in sick to work the past 2 days because I can't stand to put makeup on over the bumps I have, partly because it's painful! A...

So i have been trying this for past few days .. washing with cold water and skipping my cleanser in the shower has helped with the dryness/tightness of my skin. However has not stopped breakouts. I th...

Okay! Will give this a go starting tonight, can't hurt as I have been breaking out constantly. Thanks for the advice  

My skin feels dry and tight after my shower... however I'm not sure if that is because of my shower or because I use my cleanser in the shower also (I usually shower after working out so I cleanse to ...

Hmm is this to do with the opening/closing of your pores? I shower with hot water.

Hey! So I agree with the previous comment. Laser might be your best bet .. but I would definitely seek a specialist that knows what they are doing and have plenty of experience treating similar cases....

This past year has just been horrible - my acne triggered it but now I'm not so sure my self-esteem and confidence issues are because of acne. I know if my skin was clear I would be happier so I will ...
