Pros:

Works!
Shorter, lighter periods.
No weight gain.

Cons:

Expensive! Insurance only covers a little bit of the cost.
Only works to get rid of cysts.

This is the only product ever that consistently keeps my face clear. I stopped taking it for almost a year due to the high cost...it was bad. I couldn't find anything else, even rx, to clear my face. I am finally just biting the bullet and paying for it because I can count on it! If you can, get this product, it really works.

Pros:

Cleared my acne 98%. no more mood swings

Cons:

Some slight weight gain, and sore breasts

I have had acne since i was 17, i am now 32. Not, omg, I got a zit! acne, but cystic acne where my face has turned red and purple because of it. Quarter sized cysts at times! I have massive scarring, deep rolling scars. Yasmin cleared it 98% I only break out during the placebo pills and it's about 2-5 pimples at once! The rest of the month I'm clear. This compared to 20+ pimples every day of my life. The bad: It made me gain some weight, about 5 lbs., but for me that was fine as I wear a size one. I put it under CONS only because many woman don't like the weight gain. My breasts are always sore but trust me sore breasts over acne? The acne I had? I'll take it anyday. I recommend try it, especially if you have severe acne. What have you got to lose?

Pros:

clear skin, no excess body/facial hair, thicker hair on my head, stabilized mood

Cons:

when i went off all the pros are reversed.

i had acne everywhere, then went on yasmin and my skin cleared up to the point that i rarely ever even had the slightest imperfection on my face and i was only using cetaphil cleanser each night and water in the morning. When i went off it my hair started falling out in clumps (thank god i have a very very full head of hair), it did start growing back after a month or so... the worst part about going off the pill is that my skin has completely broken out and looks almost as bad as it did pre-yasmin. :(

Pros:

No weight gain, no bloating, effective birth control, clearer skin.

I was on diane 35 first when my doctor switched me to yasmin saying it would do about the same thing for my skin. In Canada yasmin is fairly cheap around $10-12 before your pharmacy fee, so the price is definatly right. After switching i noticed no major side effects and my acne didn't get worse as i was scared it would have. It's been about a year now that i have been taking yasmin, and with the recent scare over yasmins side effects it's important you don't smoke, you eat well and stay fit while on this pill. i would say my skin isn't 100% clear, i still get a little whitehead here and there but nothing really noticable(i used to have grade 4 acne), so i'm definatly happy with yasmin.

Pros:

Way less acne, breast grew one cup size, prevents pregnancy, no weight gain

Cons:

None so far

I've heard some pretty nasty reviews for Yasmin, but keep in mind that everyBODY is different. I started Yasmin about a year ago, and other than slight nausea the first week, its been amazing. My skin cleared up so much. I used to get horrible acne around my period, including cystic pimples, and now I get maybe one or two tiny pimples each month. My breasts grew a size, and I didn't gain weight! And of course, no babies!

Pros:

Yasmin has kept me having short periods and I dont gain weight beause i dont eat alot.

Cons:

I hate that they have made a generic because I think the brand is better. Im getting blood clots also

I would recommend this product if u dont want a baby. It has stopped me from having any more babies. I just dont like the generic and i have asked the doctor to give me brand but that hasnt worked yet. I have used yasmin for almost 4 years now and my only down fall is the generic. Just recently they came out with a generic for the yasmin. Since i have to use generic now it makes me have cramps and i didnt have cramps taking the yasmin. The doctor had told me that there is a difference between the generic and the brand. My insurance doesnt want to pay for the brand anymore unless the doctor approves it.
