Comparing Duac vs Yasmin

For Acne I was prescribed duac 3% about two months ago by my dermatologist. Because my skin is quite sensitive he told me to use it on alternative days and to use a different cream on the in between days, so that's what I did. I only experienced extremely dry skin for about two days, two weeks after starting the treatment, besides that I had no side effects. My problem was that on both sides of my face I was having pus filled pimples and a lot of big ones underneath the skin as well. I wouldn't say that the treatment worked fast for me but it did work. I'm two months in and my pimples are almost completely gone, no marks, no redness. Totally recommend this product under doctor prescription. if you have more severe acne you may want to ask the duac 5%, but it is not recommended if you have sensitive skin as it may contribute to severe dryness and skin breaks and cracks.

For Acne I’ve had forehead pimples/acmes for around 2 years now, and my dermatologist recommended Duac. Every night I’d apply Duac on my pimples and it would significantly decreased. I didn’t miss a night when I applied Duac. After cleansing I would dry my face, then apply Duac on my acne. I get a few pimples here and there on my forehead. BUT it has significantly decreased by 95%. However I am on my first tube of Duac and I still have the prescription on repeat.

For Birth Control So I started Yasmin on December 29, 2016 & began taking it regularly at 7:30PM to avoid unwanted nausea that's often reported by women who take it early in the morning. The first week was fine, the second week made me awfully depressed but I noticed clearer skin, and the third week brought along frequent urination which frightened me bc thats a symptom of pregnancy. But then with some online research, I found out that Yasmin definitely has a diuretic side effect that causes frequent urination. Instead of retaining the water (which causes bloating), frequent urination assisted in preventing bloating. In the third week, I had withdrawal bleeding 3 days into the inactive pills, which last about 5 days.

For Birth Control I do belive everybody experiences different symptoms. It's my third box of Yasmin and I'm probably gona give it one or two more shots but I'm thinking of quiting it. First box of my pills was a 21 day long nightmare. I had breakthrough bleeding whole month I wasn't even sure when my period started, I had huge intestinal problems. Went for two abdominal ultrasounds because of constant bloating, overly active guts and diarea/constipation (it switched every 2 or 3 days). My breasts, dear Lord, I never felt so tender in my entire life. Luckly, as the next box came, bleeding stopped so did tendernes. I still do feel bloated and gassy but it's lot better. Gonna give it one more shot but I just don't feel it's suiting me.
