I have been on Yasmin for about 3 years now (possibly longer). In the past year or so, my skin has become EXCESSIVELY oily. I mean - it's disgusting! I have tried every cleanser/astringent/medication possible but to no avail. I eat a healthy and balanced diet and drink plenty of water. The only thing I can think of is that it's the Yasmin that is causing it. Has anyone else had this problem? Could this be the cause of my overly oily skin? I mean, 20 minutes after I cleanse it will literally be dripping with oil - enough so that I can scrape it off under my nail and it will just be liquid oil. It's gross and very embarassing. I'm 24 years old and can't think of any other causes.
