What birth control pills wont cause acne or make me gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: All birth control pills lower the male hormones that are linked to acne. However, the progestin in some pills are made from male hormones. I think a good place to start is a pill called natazia (estradiol valerate and dienogest). Hope this helps.
