Which birth control pills can i get for you acne ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any of them: Almost all birth control pills will help with acne. However, you may want to avoid pills that contain levonorgestrel, as that progestin is derived from testosterone and can sometimes worsen acne. Yaz or Yasmin, which contain drospirenone, may work the best for acne.
