A member asked:
Do certain types of birth control give you more oily skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: I would expect any of the birth controls that are more androgenic to do this. The least likely ones to do this are the ones that are very effective for acne like ortho tri-cylen, yaz, (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) and yasmin.
