Is Estrostep Good for Acne

Estrostep also increases SHBG and decreases testosterone. It’s indicated for the treatment of acne in women at least 15 years of age or older who have started menstruating, whose acne cannot be controlled with topical acne treatment, and who want to take an oral contraceptive for birth control.

What birth control pill clears up acne?

The best birth control pill for acne is a combination pill—one that contains both estrogen and progestin. The FDA has approved four such birth control pills for the treatment of acne: Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Estrostep Fe, Beyaz, and Yaz.

How long until the pill clears acne?

You can expect your acne to improve within 2 to 3 months of beginning birth control pills (for some people, it takes just a few weeks).
