I've got this acne and I've heard that birth control pills is capable of treating acne. Is this true? Any related experience is highly appreciated.

Birth control pills have different effects to different women. To some women, birth control pills will improve their acne. While others will experience no improvement, and still others may even have a worsening of acne. If this becomes a problem, immediately visit your healthcare provider and let her know your case.

Marcela, a lot of birth control pills are effective in treating acne as what Carmela has mentioned even if they are not approved for such use.

for mild acne, it will only take effect for a couple of days. but for severe one it will take a month.
