Loestrin24 and acne?!


Question: Has anyone taken Loestrin24Fe and seen and change in their skin over time? I know initially it is not uncommon to experience more breakouts, but that usually within a couple of months that subsides. I already have moderate acne and am starting Loestrin next week...I just don't want it to make my skin worse!
Any experiences?

Loestrin will not make your acne better or worse. I've been on it for 18 months & haven't seen any changes in my skin.

But... FYI (because my doctor failed to tell me this one) Lestrin 24 fe has such a low dose of estrogen that women might not have their period. While the commercials and all the readings say that you will have a lighter period, they never mentioned completely missing your period. When this happened to me, I freaked out. Fortunatly, 3 pregnancy tests later, my doctor finally told me this little piece of information.

*Please be aware, the first couple of months of this pill can have a little bit of a mood swing problems. But that subsides with time.

Good Luck & if you have any questions, go to a chat borad for Loestrin 24. It's on some manufacturers site & pill users talk about what they experience while being on the pill. I've attached the site below.

Sorry, I have no experience with that drug.
I have taken Minocycline and that works wonders. It is an antibiotic and I was on it for about 6mths solid but now I only take it when I have a breakout for about 2 weeks.
I also do not use anything else on my face apart from washing it with Lutsine.
Good luck and I hope it works out for you.
