I, too, had the increased appetite and forgetfulness thanks to Ortho. I was off hormones for a while and now am on YAZ with much better results. The only side effect so far seems to be the ability to get mad.
Thanks for the tip on eating aloe. It does wonders for my hair and sunburns, but I never thought to put it on acne. Even at 30, I still have the occasional Mount Vesuvius pop up. Now I can fight it on two fronts.

Have any of you considered Blue Light Led treatments. Led lights are becoming less expensive.

I enjoyed your post regarding the Aloe. My Mom used to keep an aloe plant and we treated burns with it. Regarding treating oily skin with breakouts, I also suggest using Witch Hazel as an astringent, dabbing pure Tea Tree oil directly only on the head of the pimple, and keeping clean pillowcases. Also the CLEAN & CLEARÂ® ADVANTAGEâ„¢ Acne Spot Treatment (http://www.cleanandclear.com/products/acne_treat/acne_spottreat.shtml) product you wrote about in another post does work wonders for me overnight. I know that this may be hard, but I also suggest dietary changes like limiting carbonated beverages, fried foods, and chips to help combat the oiliness and clear up the skin.
