For Birth Control "Before getting put on Nikki, I was on Yaz, and it did terribly for me. So when I was prescribed Nikki, I was so, so scared. I had felt so crazy from Yaz, and I was just terrified for Nikki. I won’t lie, the reviews scared me as well. But when I tell you this has been my holy grail... I’m not lying. Nikki has done wonders for my skin and period! I have been on Nikki for around 2 years now. I had been struggling with acne and undiagnosed endo. Within 3 months, my acne was gone and nowhere to be seen to this day. I still have breakouts around my period, but not nearly as bad. I do believe that this birth control does reduce your sex drive, though. My periods are always scheduled on time, and my cramps are so, so much less painful than before!"

For Birth Control "I don't ever write reviews, but I had to share my experience with this birth control. This is my first time getting back on birth control in almost 2 years, and a doctor prescribed me Nikki. I typically have pretty clear skin, about one or two small pimples here and there, but within 3 days of me taking Nikki, I ended up with two pimples on my back and three on my face. Within 4 days of taking Nikki, I also started to experience mood swings and depression. The emotional side effects from this birth control are not worth taking whatsoever. I found myself to be more irritable and emotional for the most ridiculous reasons, and that isn't me. I was on it for only 11 days, and it was the worst birth control experience I've ever had. Please save yourself the time and pay a higher price for a better birth control."

For Birth Control "I started Nikki when I was 16 because I had horrible period pain. I am currently 22. It took my body a few months to get used to it. There was an effect on my mental health, but that only lasted 3 months. I never had acne before Nikki, but for the first 3 months, my face was breaking out. It did eventually go back to normal. It helped a little with period pain and made it a little more manageable, but did not make it go away. I honestly don't have any negatives with this pill."

For Acne "I started taking birth control for my acne, and I was on the brand Loryna, and it cleared up my acne so well. But I’ve recently switched to the Nikki pill and have been eating nonstop and have this awful cystic acne. I do not recommend!"

For Birth Control "This birth control sucks! Before taking this, I had mild to no acne. Now I have cystic acne all over my cheeks and forehead. I wouldn’t recommend this at all."
