I was on Depo Provera about 12 years ago and it really changed my skin. I think up until I started getting it I had maybe 2 pimples my entire life and then after I was on it for 2 years my face just constanly was breaking out. I used to get a lot of cystic acne too and even after I got off it my face never got much better until about 2 years ago. I still get breakouts though before my TOM and I use benzaclin every single day. If I were you I would try to find another type of Birth Control. My face really only got better when I stopped being on any type of hormonal birth control.
