I have just started taking Yasmin to sort out acne but my skin has got worse instead of better. Is this usual?

Yes ! it needs to get worse to clear out the impurities and then it will start to heal . However , as a skin consultant I would reccomend that you drink Aloe Vera to heal from within , have camomile face mask , as well as placing cucumber on the inflamed areas, Use will also want to use aloe Vera on the skin and it will heal within a couple of weeks. If I was you I would go to see a qualified beautician !

Thank you! Very reassuring - I think I'll give it a while to see what happens...

Answer 2

not at all

Answer 3

With all potions and lotions it's usual that the condition gets worse before it gets better, stick with it for a while longer to see if it suits you.

Answer 4

NO! Yasmin takes at least 3 months to clear your acne. Usually it will go a bit cystic before it gets better, but then by the 4th month it should clear up.

GOOD LUCK! (I love what Yasmin does for my skin!)

Answer 5

Just give your body some time to adjust to the different hormone level ANY birth control gives you. Just do your normal skin care routine, and whatever you do, don't try to pop your blemishes as you might get scars. hang in there!

Answer 6

try the pill dianette instead

Answer 7

every bodys skin is dfferent so if that happens to you then obviously your skin does not agree with it so try something different! but also remember that some stuff that you use starts by making it worse and only then does it start to work i dont know why this happens but it just does so you have choice you can ither carry on using it or just stop!

Answer 8

I've been on Yasmin for 3 years now. At first, my face did break out but then it got SMOOTH LIKE you wouldn't believe! Just keep it up and you will see. If not, consult your doctor. I hope Yasmin works as well for you as it does for me. I can predict my period to the day. :)

Answer 9

Yes. this is because of the subcutaneous ones lying under your skin. They get cleared first as yasmin starts to prevent more.
