Complexion before/after BCP

I am so nervous about stopping BCP because I am taking Ortho TriCyclen and it is beneficial to your skin. I still get break outs though, what will it be like when I stop taking them?

Re: Complexion before/after BCP

I never had bad skin, not really in my teans but now that I stopped the pill, its so nasty. I feel like my glow is gone and I keep getting megga zits in the last two months. Trying to up my water intake cause I did slack on that but usually my skin is best in the summer and it is so not this year

Re: Complexion before/after BCP

I had major skin issues after coming off the pill. It stinks! I found proactiv to be the best, but you have to use it consistently.

Re: Complexion before/after BCP

I was on pills, then the patch and last on Nuvaring.

I stopped in May and not that I want to scare you but I did suffer some acne. My hormones were completely out of whack and it made sense why i broke out so bad. It wasnt my face as much...my shoulder and back were affected. I am also one not to suffer from acne either.
It was pretty bad but got back to normal by the 3rd month.

Re: Complexion before/after BCP

I am blessed with good skin (thanks to mom)... but I've noticed my skin def. got more oilier after coming of BCPs..... the pills made my skin so dry, in the winter i often want to rub butter on my face

Re: Complexion before/after BCP

I have been off for 2 months and havent really seen any difference.
