Pros:

Low dose
Super light periods
Cleared some acne

Cons:

Not strong enough
Break through bleeding

I tried Loestrin for a year after Ortho, Yasmin, and Depo. It wasn't strong enough for me and I'm only about 5' 90 lbs. I had break through bleeding and more acne than on the stronger pills. I have found that mid-strength like Yasmin is the best, rather than super strong (Ortho) or too weak (Loestrin).

Pros:

-Clearned up body acne significantly
-no weight gain
-loss of cramps/pms
-no noticeable side effects

Cons:

-cleared up facial acne a little bit but not enough for me to want to stay on it
-major breakouts after stopped using it
-high cost

probably would work well for light-moderate acne. The cost eventually was too much, i wasnt satisfied enough to keep taking it. Started around 30 dollars a month, and the last few months I was on it it was 50 dollars a month. ridiculous!
