Product Information

There's a highly effective birth control pill that can actually help clear up your skin too, ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN. It provides you with a low daily dose of hormones that prevent pregnancy, while actually lowering the level of the hormone in your body that's likely to cause acne. In clinical tests, ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN has been clinically proven to help reduce mild to moderate acne—nearly 9 out of 10 women saw improvements in their skin.

ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN can be a good choice for women 15 or over with mild to moderate acne who have reached menstruation, are seeking contraception, have no known contraindications to birth control pills, and are unresponsive to topical acne medication.
