Amazing for acne-prone skin
Let me preface this by saying I have taken many different kinds of birth control pills throughout my teen and adult years. This is by far the BEST bcp for my cystic, hormonal acne. I've also taken Caziant which is also a combination of desogestrel & triphasic with the same results. I personally think it's important for the body to have a different amount of hormones each week as would naturally occur otherwise. Any time I went off of Cyclessa or Caziant to "switch it up" was when I started breaking out horribly in cystic bumps. If you suffer from hormonal acne, definitely give Cyclessa or Caziant a try.

Pros:

No breakouts, bigger breasts, got it for free, weight loss, no babies.

Cons:

None, I love it!

Getting on this pill is the best thing I've ever done! Within weeks of taking it my breast size increase and the rest of me slimmed down. I had small pimples that would pop up but once I started taking this pill they completely went away.

Pros:

no bleeding

Cons:

nausea

I was on the depo shot for about two years and I'd constantly time to time. Well I decided to get back on the pill. Well the bleeding stopped. Although my breast hurt, and I'm always feeling like vomitting. Other than that I'm not pregnant.
