Start with b12, magnesium and zinc supplements about a month before you quit your birth control pill. It helps bring your natural levels into balance because the birth control has depleted them. Then it depends on whether you are prone to acne. I was.. I had acne pre birth control and then once I quit I broke out with a vengeance. It started 4 months after I quit, peaked at 8 months and by about a year.. my natural balance had been restored and I had no acne! Not even like I had pre birth control. By 1.5 years the acne scars also faded and at the 2 yr mark I had beautiful and happy skin without needing too much attention!
Also if you are not angling for pregnancy, a dermatologist/ endocrinologist can recommend acne controlling medications. Another avenue is to go to an endocrinologist to ensure all your hormones are all balanced. If they are then you will have less of a chance of acne outbreak. But all my advice is specifically for hormonal/ cystic acne alone. There are other forms of acne which I do not know much about.
