Dianette is the pill known to help reduce spots (does not dry them out). However Dianette has a few side effects so GPs don't let you stay on it long, which may mean when you come off it your spots reoccur. If you want to try a pill, discuss it with your doctor, but Yasmine is also meant to be really good and without the side effects of Dianette. I'd say you have nothing to lose but to try it, if it doesn't suit you just come off it.

Best of luck. Not all of them, only the stronger kind. You should ask your doctor, because they can cause problem with blood pressure. It's possible to get a combined pill that will help out skin problems.

However all medication has side effects. therefore by going to your gp or to a health clinic they will be able to advise you on the best contraceptive for your lifestyle.

If skin is an issue..then explain this. ive just started taking the pill and my skin has cleared up. could just be a coincidence. i also try to keep my skin regime simple.

I use the brand 'simple'.

i use the pump cleanser and a toner and a moisturizer twice a day. dont put any other products on your face acne can be caused by androgens. contraceptive pills contain high oestrogen which decreases circulating androgens. so yes it is possible that the contraceptive pill may decrease spots, but it is not one of the main treatments for this condition. remember other factors are involved too - such as diet (a diet high in fat and carbohydrate will cause spots), and regular skin routine.
