Hello. About a month ago, after many attempts to fight acne, I was advised to buy Acne Out (lotion). I bought it, took some Garnier products, one of which is for facial massage, and the massage on my facial skin works very well. Except these things didn't help. They helped to remove the smallest pimples, but I still get pimples most often around my lips and forehead. I went to the pharmacy and asked them to offer me something for acne - the first thing was Acne Out. I said it didn't work, and the girl in front of me began to wonder what to offer me, because Acne Out was one of the strongest. He offered me Zinerit, but it turned out they were done. He gave me some tablets and salicylic alcohol (I think it was) and told me that when they dissolve it turns out the same as Zinerit, he even told me to put 2 more tablets, to become a little stronger. She had told me before that I could also try birth control pills, but a doctor would tell me if it would be for my type of acne - if it was more severe. I wondered - contraceptives against acne I hadn't heard before. Has anyone here tried? And contraceptives, as far as I know, are not very good for the ovaries to take, plus I'm a 15-year-old girl. If this Zinerit does not help I will go to a specialist, but has anyone heard of this contraceptive treatment and does it work? Because if I go to a specialist to know. Thanks in advance :) Has anyone here tried? And contraceptives, as far as I know, are not very good for the ovaries to take, plus I'm a 15-year-old girl.

Rather, the question is correct - acne pills, birth control pills? Modern third-generation contraceptives are actually pills developed as a cure for acne. I do not know who told you that contraceptives were harmful to the ovaries, but this is not the case, and vice versa - they protect against ovarian and uterine cancer due to the reduced number of ovulations. However, they have other risks - the biggest is the risk of thrombosis for women who smoke and do not drink enough fluids. It is not filled by the new "mini" contraceptives, they do not increase the risk of breast cancer and so on, but they are on a completely different principle now, but there is a risk of thrombosis. They cure acne very quickly if you are interested, and Zinerit is prescribed by a doctor, by the way, because there is an antibiotic in it ... You decide
Here one regularly promotes contraception, but do not get caught up in this dance.
In order for these ointments not to work for you, acne must be hormonal. However, you are too small for contraceptives because your ovarian function has not had time to normalize and if you start drinking them now, you can create bigger problems. Acne is caused primarily by poor diet. Stop eating sweets, especially chocolates, waffles, Easter cakes, start eating more fruits and vegetables. Don't eat a lot of pasta, even better stop it for a few days and you will see how your skin will clear itself. Try to eat without fatty and sweet foods for a month and you will see results. And don't drink coffee! Coffee contributes to oily skin. I wish someone had explained all this to me at your age, but doctors and pharmacies benefit from being sick. Someone had said that food was your medicine, you have no idea how right he was.
Contraceptives affect the appearance of acne and pimples because they regulate the secretion of hormones, and they are usually the cause of increased function of the sebaceous glands and, accordingly, the appearance of pimples. Unfortunately, birth control pills have terrible side effects, such as increasing the likelihood of blood clots forming, so even if they clear your skin, it's not worth risking your health with them. Also, as soon as you stop them, the pimples will most likely reappear. From experience I can tell you that cleaning the skin on the outside with various detergents is never enough. What you eat and drink is very important. try to limit all dairy products or those that contain milk. You can also drink powdered sulfur, it cleanses and dries the skin, it is sold in pharmacies. I drank one teaspoon a day with water and it had an effect. Not nasty it doesn't taste like anything, it's like swallowing stereo, but keep in mind that sulfur also has a laxative effect, so test it first at the weekend, for example, if you're at home. I wish you success, this is really a very annoying problem.
There is nothing to be surprised about. Very often, difficult-to-treat and persistent acne occurs due to hormonal disorders, and contraceptives, in addition to protecting against pregnancy, also regulate hormones, but do nothing on their own, but go to a gynecologist. Only he / she can determine if this contraceptive is best for you.
True! When I started taking contraceptives, my acne problems stopped. Sometimes the real problem is not that the skin is oily or dirty, but that it is hormonal and the pills help a lot. Another thing I can offer you is a cleansing gel - Aven Cleanance, it is not the cheapest, but my friend has been using it for years and he told me that when he was a teenager and had acne problems it helped him a lot. It may be the skin type or the problem, because I don't have acne, but sometimes my skin turns red and plain rose water does the same job as the gel, but if you want, try this.
