There's a highly effective birth control pill that can actually help clear up your skin too, ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN. It provides you with a low daily dose of hormones that prevent pregnancy, while actually lowering the level of the hormone in your body that's likely to cause acne. In clinical tests, ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN has been clinically proven to help reduce mild to moderate acne—nearly nine out of ten women saw improvements in their skin.
ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN can be a good choice for women 15 or over with mild to moderate acne who have reached menstruation, are seeking contraception, have no known contraindications to birth control pills, and are unresponsive to topical acne medication.
Oral contraceptives are not for everybody. Most side effects of the pill are not serious. And those that are, occur infrequently. Serious risks, which can be life threatening, include blood clots, stroke, and heart attacks, and are increased if you smoke cigarettes. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects, especially if you're over 35. Women who use oral contraceptives are strongly advised not to smoke. Some women should not use the pill, including women who have blood clots, certain cancers, a history of heart attack or stroke, as well as those who are or may be pregnant. The pill does not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.
