Yasmin BCP is what has worked best for me, well, its really the only thing that has worked for me. I went to the dermatologist from age 11-22 and tried EVERYTHING....accutane, retin-a, erythromycin, tetracycline, prescription face washes just to name a few and nothing ever worked. The only other thing that ever even helped was the Differin Solution (the cream and gel did not help). Luckily they did the light treatments and the CO2 spray treatments on my face so I do not have any scarring. Anyway, I was diagnosed w/ PCOS at age 22 and immediately put on Yasmin and within a few months, my acne was gone and did not come back until I went off the Yasmin in April of this year to try NPC for the next 6 months until we start TTC. Well, my acne and oily skin came back w/ a vengence in only 1 month and so I have gone back on the Yasmin until we are actually ready to start TTC. Then, I don't know what I will do. Hopefully, my dr will let me take some type of androgen blocker while TTC (because obviously testosterone is what is causing the acne). I don't know how I dealt with this for 10 years because it has only been back 1 month and it is making me nuts. I put every kind of cream, astringent, etc I know of on it to dry it out (even though I know nothing will help). ARGH!
