I've been on yasmin for a little over a year, and i think it's helped me considerably. It has controlled my oil as well as my cysts. I still have the occassional break out, especially if i am stressed out. For those, I will dab on a little tea tree oil.

I used to take Ortho-tri cyclen and that only helped me for a little while but did nothing for my acne compared to yamin.

Give it some time and if you don't notice anything, maybe you could inquire about spironolactone.
