i have only been using it f0r over a week but when i came on this site and saw what people were saying about the product i thought that i would be dead by now. i have never taken any birth control before but i have not had any side effects that would stop me from taking this.

Pros:

My acne cleared up really well, still get the ocassional blemish but when I think back to how bad it was it's a massive improvement!

Cons:

Disn't have any funny side effects, no weight gain nothing. Having been on the pill for 5 years (I am now 20) I am experiencing cervical erosion due to the contraceptive pill...

Really good if you want to get rid of acne but don't get addicted like I did otherwise you could experience serious health risks like cervical erosion. I used contraceptive pills after nothing else would work and they did have a dramatic effect! I am going to have to stop now though and am hoping to find an alternative!

Pros:

My boobs are huge! And I still have a sex drive

Cons:

So far I feel REALLY bloated

I have only been on the pill for one week. I know with any medication aimed to help your acne it takes up to 3 months to kick in, however; i havent had any NEW breakouts (cross my fingures!) Im going to keep going and hope for the best. I will also write another review in a few weeks.

Pros:

I have no idea how well it works. I am starting my pack tomorrow.

Cons:

None....yet.

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen. I gain about 20 pounds. Which is not good since I am only 4'11". I just swith to Yasmin. I am hoping that I don't gain any weight and that I don't get any acne. I have clear skin, I want to keep it that way.

Pros:

Does make skin less oily leading to fewer spots and less breakouts. Lighter periods less chance of becoming anemic. Much less water retention...breasts are a cup size bigger lol

Cons:

Can make you a little tired a few days before your period. Occasional headache ( could be from stress though!)

Good contraceptive, no real side effects, no weight gain, much improved skin, ligter periods.

Pros:

no pregnancy, light periods, no weight gain, no change in appetite.

Cons:

acne still not cleared up.

After being on alesse for a few months my acne started getting alot worse and i was spotting all the time, it was like i was on my period 24/7. so my doctor suggested i switch to yasmin which i have been using for about a month now. so far it seems like if it is clearing my skin it's doing so by bringing everything to the surface because it seems like i'm breaking out very often, but there seems to be less "lurkers". hopefully it will completely clear up in the next few days.
