Quote from latayy26:

Yasmin is a common birth control pill that is prescribed to help regulate the hormones and clear acne. I have been on it for about 6 months now and I am clear besides an occasional pimple that usually heals pretty quickly. I have had birth control pills prescribed by my general practitioner AND my dermatologist so you really could go to either one. I think Yasmin and Diane 35 are most commonly heard of for treating acne, but there are many others that can help too. Diane 35 has some worse possible side effects though.

Yes - there are a lot of different kinds. The first one I used was Nordette, which cleared my acne, but caused a new skin problem: Constant peeling. Now I'm on Microgestin. Give your doctor as much information as you can so he can chose the best one for you.
