Pros:

The pimples have cleared up along my jawline, really helped clear up my back acne, smaller appetite sometimes

Cons:

As soon as I started on yasmin I got nearly the worst break out I've had since I first started getting acne.

I got lots of pimples on my cheeks and few on my forehead (where I both hardly usually get them), between my eye brows and chin!. I am 3 pills away from finishing my first month and I'm going to carry on with my prescription in hope that my skin will clear. Can someone please tell me if you usually have one big break out when starting and then it get betters?. I paid $76.00 for 3 months supply

Anxiety problems were much better when i went off it. Don't think it made much difference in my face, although might of helped with body acne.

Pros:

It regulated my period really well. I never have any cramps, and my breasts grew a little.

Cons:

I broke out like CRAZY. Cystic acne all over my cheeks and along the jaw line.

1st month, I was extremely moody, anxious, depressed. I noticed that I started getting little bumps all over my face, even in places I never had acne before. 2nd-3rd month, the moodiness went away, but then I started getting a couple cysts on my cheeks and jawline, and they would take FOREVER to go away. 4th-5th month, the cysts multiplied and now both cheeks are covered in cysts. There are also some cysts on my temple area, and one or two on my forehead. The jawline has calmed down a little but I get a new cyst occasionally. I went to the dermatologist and they recommended me to go on Clindamyacin (topical cream) and doxycycline (oral pill) to sterilize my face, because they said I need to go on Accutane ASAP. Before Yasmin, my skin had the occasional cyst, but now its full blown, and my doctor said Accutane is my only choice right now. I'm getting off Yasmin ASAP. And I'm going to let Accutane repair the damages. This may work for some people but it does not work for all.

Pros:

None

Cons:

This pill broke my acne out even worse. I only had a few spots to start with but now my chin has completely erupted. I have been miserable for weeks now. It is definitley not the route the take for mild acne. I now have all the old acne-anxiety back.

I am miserable since i started Yasmin. I really wish I hadn't messed with my hormones. I am now weepy all the time and fragile. My skin is sore and raw. I have stopped taking yasmin now for the last 2 days. While i was on it my skin was so dry it felt like I had ezcema on my face. Really wouldn't recommend it at all.

birth control, no wt gain

Cons:

bad skin, felt sick for 3 mths, very tired and going mental sometimes.Short-tempered.

Arghh, my skin is a nitemare.I'm constantly getting spots and pigmentation marks afterwards coz it never heals up properly. I'm just coming off it.Been on Yasmine for 8 mths, felt sick and tired initially, now sickness is better but still tired. Need PM nap now and never before! This bad skin (they come out all over my face especially a jawline and cheeks) and enlarged boobs (I had been cup size c before, gone up to DD) made me to come off it. i have no life with this acne and massive boobs.Got strech marks on them coz grown so rapidly also get back pain. Also extended cellulite although no WT gain. Actually, lost about 4 pounds since getting on. Previously on Microgynon 30. a stone and a half WT gain but no spots.Confused...

Pros:

No weight gain

Cons:

Bad break outson my cheeks only, first week. Bit moody.

I hear that your skin clears up after the first 3months, so I'm hopeful that it will because I can't stand these big painful zits. It makes me feel moody, and ugly.

Pros:

Pregnancy prevention

Cons:

Depression,
major acne Breakouts,
Weight gain,

I'm on the generic Ocella and have heard others comment that only the Yazmin works well. However, I don't understand how this pill could make my acne worse when it's specifically supposed to lower androgrens. :-(

Pros:

Regulates my period

Cons:

Loss of Appetite (I was on Diane 35 before and it didnt have this con)
I usually have clear skin without a mild outbreak before my period but when i started taking Yasmin these real hard pimples popped up

I'm switching back to Diane 35. I'm underweight so I'm not for the loss of appetite i'm experiencing and the pimples are horrible- they just popped up and they were really hard and though i'm not one for poppin bump, i had to squeeze the stuff out it because the skin around the bump would be too stiff; after the stuff, that were really hard may i note, came out it was like there were tiny holes in my face where they were. I would only recommend you use this product if you desire to lose weight (but hey our bodies are different- so that result is not totally guaranteed)
