I have to get on YAZ for my irregular periods. It's the one that was prescribed to me so don't give me suggestions for other brands. Just tell me if it helps get rid of acne. I have had terrible acne since I was 10 and I'm 16. It's really bad, I either have to choose between looking terrible with spots all over my face or looking caked on with yellow makeup grr. but I mean I heard it makes you acne better, and I've also heard it makes it worse. or does it do anything at all? tell me you experiences please :-)

it cleared my skin up at first but i eventually had to switch because it stopped being as effective with my skin or regulating my periods. i have higher testosterone than most girls are supposed to have though apparently, yaz helped that. so it really depends on your own hormonal balance. it made me gain weight though, like 10-15 pounds over the 2 years i was on it.

Depends on the person.
I've had acne since like sixth grade. I take Yaz now.
It decreased mine somewhat, but it's still present. It wasn't an extremely drastic change, but I'm thankful for even the difference it's made.
I'll still get breakouts around menstruation, but not really during the other weeks.

DON'T YOU HEAR THE COMMERCIALS FOR THAT
