I used to be on Alesse and I got off of it for a summer because of the weight gain but that is where my battle with acne began. So I got back on Allesse but it didn't work as well as it used to so now I am on Yasmin I have been on it for about a month and two weeks. So far not great results but I think I am having my initial outbreak from the Differin and Doxy. I have done alot of research on these boards and women say to give the birth control a good 4 or 5 months to notice improvement. Some say after about 6 months they are completley clear! So I am gonna stick it out and you should too. Good Luck!
