When I was a teen, birth control pills as a treatment for acne was seen by some girls as a status symbol. You'd be "on the pill" but supposedly for a non-immoral reason.
I’ve done my homework and while I do believe birth control has helped a lot of young women through skincare issues (at what cost, varies)...it’s worth noting that the pill MOST prescribed for acne specifically, also happens to be the most controversial and banned in certain countries. Brand name: Yaz. It has the highest risk for blood clots, and it’s considered the least “androgenic” therefore most effective for acne.
