    I am taking BCPs now because I have ovarian cysts. They are not life threatening, thank God. Anyway, my OB prescribed a brand that helps control sebum and acne. I haven't noticed any difference, so I was wondering if any of you here actually experienced this benefit. Share your thoughts. :)

    While a lot of studies have shown certain birth control pills to help with acne... it really depends on the individual person's body chemistry. What works for some may work exactly the opposite for others. I would continue to perform your daily skin cleansing routine to help with your acne and remember that you need to give the pills a good month to get in your system to see the full effects. It just may not have had time to kick in yet! Good Luck!
