LoEstrin : Oral Contraceptive

First of all there are many versions of this pill. I tried Loestrin 24FE LO last year and the best part is that your period will only be for about three to four days max. It didnt stop acne completely but it was ok for me to go out without wearing makeup. This year I went on Loestrin 24FE and HORRIBLE. I was spotting all month long and the worst breakout of my life. It was huge hormonal cystic acne especially on my chin. The day I stopped taking the pills was the day I stopped breaking out. It all depends on the person and how much hormones you can take. Remember the more the hormones the more the side effects including more initial breakouts. Acne wise this birth control pill is not the best.

I just finished my second month on BEYAZ and at first my acne got really bad but I figured that was a good sign because that's how most acne fighting pills and creams work. After the first month, my acne really started to lessen a little bit. It was almost clearing until about a week later it was all back and even worse :( Now after the second month is over, I feel it subsiding a little bit. I've suffered from acne since 5th grade and am now a junior in college... I've tried everything!!! Since I really have nothing to lose, I will continue to try this for a few more months to see how it does.. however my doctor switched me to YAZ instead of BEYAZ so I'll be starting that next week... not sure how that will go though. BTW if you have a weak stomach (which i usually don't) DONT take this it will make you so nauseous! i threw up 3-4 times since starting it and have felt nauseous for weeks on end until I got used to it.

for birth control, loestrin is great for acne, it sucks i had experienced cystic acne before, but not like the acne loestrin has caused me loestrin gives me deep, painful, dime sized blood pimples, and consequently i have crater-like scars too the ones i dont pick shrink down in size but still reside under the surface of my skin i had hopes to grow out of my acne before taking loestrin but now my skin seems ruined for life if you're acne is not that bad, i would recommend loestrin as a bc, but never as an acne cure

I have been on a lot of birth control. For me, I think i broke out more on loestrin 24 fe. Although I did like the relatively non existant side effects of this pill it didn't help as much as other pills did in clearing my acne.

I am hoping to change before this pack is up. I do not like it, but it could be good for others since everyone is different.

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!
