Pros:

It work well with acne and it works fast

Cons:

None so far

I love Yasmin I have been on it now for only 2 weeks. I was on Yaz a lower hormon level pill that didn't help my acne and I took it for 4 months. But Yasmin has been such a great help wtih my acne. Now I only get 1 or 2 pimple here and there where as Yaz I was having major break outs day in and day out with no refiel. I don't have the mood swings or break threw bleeding either. I love this pill and recommend to it anyone looking to clear up your skin using birth control. Also if you have a good doctor they can write you a RX for 3 months worth at a time so you wont have to go back so much.

Brilliant!
Yasmin cleared my 'mild' acne that although I was told didn't show and was nothing,caused me a great deal of distress. Dianette did not work at all and spironolactone had stopped being as effective. The only bother I have us during my weeks break which I quite often skip now. Highly recommended. Took a a few weeks to show full improvement but never got worse.

Pros:

~Completely cleared back acne, and almost all face acne is gone
~No emotional side effects
~No weight gain
~Bigger boobs
~Regular periods
~Only $5 a month with my insurance

Cons:

~You must be PATIENT if you're using it to clear acne.. it gets worse before better

It took about 4 months for my body to fully adjust and respond to this birth control, and my back and face acne got MUCH worse before it got better, but at the start of month 5 I am completely clear (maybe 3 or 4 new blemishes per month now). If you're going to try Yasmin to clear acne, be patient through the adjustment phase and give it at least 5 months.

Pros:

increased libido, weight loss, less irritable, less acne

Cons:

high blood pressure sometimes nausea

I had severe and I mean severe cystic acne from my face to my chest and back, I've tried everything except accutane (too dangerous) and nothing worked. My derm. finally told me to go on Yasmine and after 4 months I went back and I had a little bit of improvement, but after 10 months on Yasmine I feel like crying and screaming in joy I have beautiful clear movie star skin! Honestly I never thought as severe as my skin was that it would ever look good again. All you have to do is stick with Yasmine, but still maintain a good skin regiment , I use murad and I try to eat well.

Pros:

No mood swings
Cheap if covered by insurance/university health plan
No pregnancy

All birthcontrols will have some effects on people, I went from Alessa, to Linessa, to that one that you take three months dose at a time and only Yasmin hasn't given me mood swings. Also, the weight thing is totally a mental thing, I haven't had any weight issues with Yasmin. Do note that going off BCP is likely to cause breakouts, I know it did for me :(
