Has anyone experienced skin changes after starting Norgest/ethinyl Estradiol tabs 28s?
I started taking Norgest/ethinyl Estradiol tabs 28s a few months ago and have noticed some changes in my skin. The packaging mentioned this might happen, so I've been careful with sunscreen and avoiding sunlamps, but I'm still curious if others have experienced this and what they did. I thought I had my acne under control, but these pills are supposed to help with that too, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm glad to hear the acne help, my wife takes these and her skin has definitely improved. For the headaches, I'd consider using ibuprofen, but your doctor should always be your first point of contact.
I've been on these pills for a while, and while my skin has improved, I've noticed some weight gain. I’m trying to watch my diet and exercise more, but it’s a struggle. Has anyone else dealt with this?
I started these pills and had a terrible allergic reaction. I had to go to the hospital. I can’t believe some people don’t have issues, especially with the side effects just listed in the product info.
I've switched to a different form of birth control. It was a tough decision because I liked the convenience of the pill, but the mood changes were just too much.
I started these pills and my period became much lighter. It’s a relief, but I think it’s something that everyone should be on the lookout for. It’s a good thing but it has the potential to be a bad thing if you don't know why it's happening.
I've been taking these pills for a year and haven't had any issues. But I do have a question: did you start having more headaches? Mine got worse after a month but then went away after 3 months.
I had dark patches form on my face too. It’s a pain, but I’ve found that a good sunscreen and a gentle moisturizer help a lot. Also, make sure you’re drinking enough water!
