>>��I started taking Ortho Tri Cyclen five months ago, for birth control purposes. My skin was clear before, but now it's gotten TERRIBLE. I swear it's because of the Pill; my girl friend had ths same problem. Her skin was great before trying out Ortho, and her complexion becamse horrible a few months into taking the pill. She stopped, and the acne went away. I was just wondering if this is common, since the "Statistics" say 9/10 women actually benefit skin-wise from the Pill?! Any responses appreciated, thanks.

>> Hi. I started taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen about 4 or 5 months ago. I chose this pill for two reasons, birth control and to clear up my complexion. I have never had bad acne before. Just a few here and there from stress or right before my period. No big deal, but I thought this pill would completely end that. Howver, it has gradually made my face completely terrible! I have never looked worse. Ever! I thought maybe if I just gave it more time things would get better, but after reading that other people have the same problem after using this product I am quitting today. I expect my face to breakout for a while becuase I will be hormonally imbalanced, but I can't take this any longer. Hopefully my face will clear up with time. If you are having the same problems get off of it now!
