Does birth control worsen or improve acne?

Certain birth control methods can help acne while others can worsen it.

Yasmin and Ortho-tri-cyclen are birth control pills that are FDA-approved for the treatment of acne and will be the most helpful. We are unable to prescribe birth control pills at Apostrophe. We encourage you to talk to your primary care doctor if you would like a prescription.
