Going off the contraceptive pill after taking roaccutane in the past?

Hello,

It's great to hear that your skin has remained clear after your course of Roaccutane (isotretinoin) and while on the Yasmin contraceptive pill. The Yasmin pill contains both estrogen and progestin, which can help regulate hormones and often improve acne.

When you stop taking the contraceptive pill, there can be a few changes in your skin due to hormonal fluctuations. Some individuals may experience a return of acne, especially if their acne was hormonally driven before starting the pill. However, since your skin was fine before taking the pill and you've had minimal breakouts during, you might not experience significant issues.

Roaccutane can have long-lasting effects on the sebaceous glands, reducing oil production and acne even after you stop taking it. This might provide some protection against a resurgence of acne after discontinuing the pill.

It's important to monitor your skin after stopping the pill and maintain a good skincare routine. If you notice any significant changes or if acne returns, consulting with a dermatologist can help you find suitable treatments to manage your skin.
