Has anyone ever taken Yaz or Yasmine birth control to help clear adult acne? If yes, did you gain any weight and did it actually help with clearing your skin? Thanks!

Spironolactone is what cleared up my acne. Ive gone to a dermatologist since 12 years old, tried different birth controls, and nothing worked. When I was 25, I finally tried spironolactone and after three months, no acne. Dermatologist only had to upgrade the dose once, and I’m all clear. Best thing in the world. It’s really a blood pressure medication, but I only have to get my blood tested for potassium levels once a year.

Agree with the above, always always always get any new medication cleared with your doctor. I actually had to get a specific test because blood clotting runs in my family and they wanted to be sure that I didn’t have the gene before I started taking it (I don’t). Also that was over a decade ago so I don’t know if I’m using the right terminology.

I took it and it’s been great for my acne, mostly clear although I do still get a few spots around period time. I had cystic acne but now that’s almost never a problem. I’ve since switched to Syeda.

BC didn’t effect my weight. I’ve heard (not sure if it’s true) that it can make some people hungrier so that’s why some gain weight when starting it, not the pill itself. But again I’m not a doctor and you should talk to yours and listen to their advice over anything!

Would suggest looking into family history of blood clots or stroke before going on Yaz. Yaz has a higher risk than other bc. Not to scare but just sadly sharing from experience.

Yes, and it helped clear my skin! I didn’t gain any weight.

Yaz, Diane-35 or Spironolactone are all great treatments for hormonal acne and PCOS. But each come with slightly different side effect profile. Seek an evaluation from a board certified dermatologist to determine if you are a good candidate.

Sprintec cleared up acne. No weight gain.

Yaz causes weight gain depending on your body. Most females do gain from it. I highly suggest looking into your family history before taking it. I was put on it and then taken off a month later after my doctor did more digging into my history.

If you don’t want to use birth control for your acne. I suggest bactrim. I’ve been using it for my acne and im 99.6% better. I have flair ups when im closer to my period.
