Vestura for Acne User Reviews

"I had terrible cystic acne in my 20s and my OBGYN recommended starting on YAZ combination pill. This was my first experience on BC pills ever. My insurance covered only generics - so I began on VESTURA. Tbh, the first 2 months on this pill was BAD. It cleared my acne but it also cause me to have a regular period for 60 days. The constant bleeding caused extra fatigue, and depression followed due to the lack of energy. I voiced my concerns to my OBGYN, but she pressed me to continue the pill into the 3rd month and report back. I'm glad I did stay on it. Literally on the start of the third pack (3rd month)- the bleeding stopped. I had been on the pill for 2 years and never had any bad side effects. Some light bloating at times, but nothing else. Periods were always on time / light to no cramps. Emotions felt more balanced. And effectively, no cystic acne which was a relief."

"I have been on this birth control for a month and never had any side effects. I never had the mood swings or migraines others have reported. I went on this specific brand because it is the generic form on YAZ and I wanted to clear my acne. I can say my face is 80% better than what it was a month ago and I am very happy with the results. I look forward to what a few more months on this pill can do for my skin. I give it a 9 because I was spotting a few days before my period week, but I think that's to be expected with a new pill."
