Pros:

Completely cleared my moderately severe acne.

Cons:

Sore boobs.

I went on Yasmin three years ago to treat adult acne. It worked wonders. Completely cleared my skin with very minor side effects. Even after switching to another BCP, my skin still remained crystal clear. I made the mistake of stopping BC for a few weeks, and my acne is worse than ever now. I went back on Yasmin about 2 months ago and am hoping for the same results. My face is mostly clear, but I have broken out pretty badly around my neck and jawline. I am hoping that this is just my body adjusting to the BC again and that I will experience the same amazing results I did the first time. I believe it did take 3-4 months for my skin to completely clear the first time I was on it, so you do have to be patient and give it time to work. I do think acne gets worse before it gets better when you go on a new BC.
