Answers:
I was on hormonal birth control for about 5 years, and only after I went off of it did I realize just how much it had done for my complexion.

It's not really guaranteed to help, but it usually does. It also helps things like irregular periods. And it's just good to be on it anyway if you're in any heterosexual sexual relationship.Health Question & Answer

A lot of dermatologists prescribe the pill to help with acne, so in short, yes!

If your acne is hormonal, it has a good chance of helping. You can tell if your acne is hormonal if you break out a lot more during certain times of the month.

If your acne isn't related to hormones, other treatments such as topicals or oral antibiotics would probably work better.

But, you can use the pill and topicals at the same time for even better results. Health Question & Answer

I've heard it can.......like it balances out your hormones.
My skin is the same as yours but I just don't like the idea of taking the pill just for that....it can screw up your hormones and you can get all these annoying side affects
So I just try and ignore the acne and have a fringe so you can't see it lol Health Question & Answer

It can, but it would be best to go see a derm. so you're properly treating the actual problem. Insteading of relying on a side effect of another medication....does that make sense.?Health Question & Answer
