Acne From Birth Control?

Question

So two months ago I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe, a birth control. I have realized that since taking the pill I am always breaking out... BADLY. Before I was on birth control I never broke out. Now I am breaking out like crazy. I am thinking about buying proactive. Has anyone used proactive (the 3 step plan) before? 
Advice much needed😩😩

Answer

This is the absolute worst pill for acne. Please discontinue.  I broke out the entire time I was in it managing it when I came off of it after about a year I had Boils in my face and body and cystic acne for over a year and had to go on Accutane. Seems like many of us have had this issue...also seems from reading reviews all over the web that people previously clear developed acne, and those with acne had it clear. I was clear all of my teenage years until I started taking this at 25.
Hope this helps.

Answer

I personally didn't like proactive because it made my skin worse I've been through a lot with my skin. I'd recommend getting a light cleanser like cetaphil then a toner that controls acne and a lightweight water based moisturizer these steps work great for me and my acne cleared up right away.

Answer

Proactive works very well... Actually too well but once you stop using it your face will revert back its so bad (trust me!!!) I used it back in high school it was too much to keep up with its 19.99 for trial and after that it's 40 and you don't get all the same things... For about 3-5 $ go to Walmart or target and get noxzema it comes in a blue jar use a med anout daily day and night... It's a tad drying so have a good light moisturizer to use after, by time you finish the jar( FYI let that be the only cleanser you use, don't switch up) you ski will look and feel better.... I also recommend organics( I get mine from my local Macy's) or online it's pretty pricey but if you get lucky like me you get a free full size sample... Depending on how much you are willing to spend those products are a great recommend for any skin type

Answer

When I got on birth control my doctor told me it would HELP with my acne which I was really excited about, well it's been about a month now and it has not helped if anything it has gotten worse and its kinda pissing me off lol
