Yasmin has the DRSP in it which is supposed to be an androgen inhibitor. However, many people have done well with Desogen. One BCP will not work the same for everyone. You have to take a wait and see attitude. If it were me, I would take Yasmin and maybe some spironolactone with it. Under a doctor's care, of course.

I've heard both are good for controlling hormonal acne... but again, it depends on the person because everyone responds differently. I took Desogen for a month and I broke out horribly so the derm insisted I switch to Yasmin. I'm on Yasmin now and just completed my first month. Yasmin is a lot better for me... no big flare ups or really any side effects (none that I noticed). It honestly feels like I'm not taking any birth control at all because while I was on Desogen I felt bloated and fat lol... but not with Yasmin. Although I must say... Yasmin has made me a LOT more emotional than usual. Also, people tend to gain weight with birth control pills BUT I have not had any weight gain (maybe it's too early to tell). As a matter of fact I have lost weight (which sucks because I'm already too skinny).

Best of luck to you! Let me know which one you decide to take and how it works out :)
