Yeah the cream is so much gentler. I was really hesitant to try it since the gel irritated my skin but my derm convinced me and I'm so glad she did :) I'm taking Desogen right now. My skin was also good on Yasmin but I was sick to my stomach on it...

Thanks for your quick response BorderGirl! :)

Since Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo has been very inconsistent for me--especially over the last couple of months--I am looking into switching BCP's. I have been taking OTC-Lo since January and have not seen any improvement in my skin....things have gradually gone from worse, to better, back to worse.

Now, I am interested in Yasmin b/c I have seen a lot of good things said about it on the Boards. I haven't seen a lot about Desogen, but will do some research! ;)

I'm excited to see what the next few weeks will bring with my acne....keep your fingers crossed for me! :angel:
