My >obgyn will not commit to any pill in relation to acne. In general, any pill will reduce acne. But when it comes to a particular woman, sometimes only experimentation will show which will work best. It does take a trial of at least three months to tell if acne or breakthrough bleeding are going to be problems, so I suggest you try to give it a good chance. Good luck finding something that works.
