Hello!

I was on Estrostep. It seemed to clear my skin well. I really did like it, but then my university pharmacy stopped carrying it, so I had to switch. The ironic thing is, it is supposed to contain more male hormones than other bcp, so I don't know how it cleared up my skin - I've also heard that most bcp help with acne (at least for some people).

Good luck!

P.S. I don't think it did anything for my oily skin, though.

I was on Estrostep for about 8-9 months (don't remember for sure). I went on it to help control my cycle and for acne. When I began taking it, for two weeks I was eating saltine cracker and water and was still throwing that up. But i managed through and stayed on it, it helped control my periods for a while and then just stopped working. It never did help with my acne, maybe a tiny bit. I have heard of it working really well for other people but i guess it's just not for me.
