Retin-A is an old drug now. I remember when it first was released by the company. It was in the 1980's. Then the reports of the side effects were quite significant in the mid-1990's.

Birth control I think provides the "synthetic estrogen" compounds to counter act all the hormonal fluctuations during menstruation. I will get the MD Consult info when I can post it.

I would say, do a WebMD search on your drugs and find the pros and cons.

Now, you will probably grow out of your acne. But what you can do is change your diet to better fit your metabolism. You can try eating more fish that contain omega-3's or 6's. Moreover, you want drink plenty of water during the day and decrease your fried foods and caffeine including ALL chocolate.

Good luck.
