   Cystic Acne - Retin A Micro started today! (Acne board)

7th October 2004
Hello again,

I know everyone has different hormones, but in general, some of the best birth control pills for acne are (supposed to be) Yasmin, Desogen, Mircette, and Ortho Tricyclen - this is simply because of their higher estrogen activity and lower androgenic activity. Trying a bcp may help to rule out if her acne is mainly a hormonal problem. While a bcp prescription is a case-by-case basis, these may be some pills to discuss with your MD. Also, I don't know if you have looked into spiro, that is also an option for females.

Best of luck!
