Unfortunately, it is very common for women starting a new birth control to initially get more acne. Though your acne will typically clear in 6 weeks or less, it can sometimes take as long as 3 months for your skin to clear up. The good news is that once you get through this period of break outs, the acne is unlikely to return. If it has been more than 3 months and you’re still breaking out, please contact us. We’ll do our best to find a birth control option that works better for you.
