I have always had acne and still do. i was also told that when I lose weight and get my PCOS under control it will clear up. I was on Yasmin, and now I am on Ortho Tri cyclen both cleared up my skin a lot. I really like ortho tri cyclen my face is so much clearer, and I now only have one or two zits.
