They have been using birth controls lately to try to deal with the growing problem of acne, specifically certain types of acne that apparently have more to do with certain kinds of hormones you simply can’t fix or address by growing out of it or even with the right acne treatment.  These birth controls control these issues and the most recent one is Yaz.  They claim it will specifically deal with the issues surrounding PMDD and hormone related acne in women of course.  Some women have claimed to have seen success with this, reducing weight, changing diet and exercise habits, and getting rid of acne while also increasing fluid intake, which are all things you really should be doing anyway in terms of changing diet and exercise, increasing fluid intake, etc. 

This will naturally result in weight loss for most as well as a clearing of acne.  Yaz is the birth control pill that will help you if those methods fail on their own.  It has obtained FDA approval for specific claims surrounding PMDD,m and it has been shown to improve the general appearance of the skin in that case.  Some have reported side effects such as nausea, vomiting, changes in weight, and headache, in which case you should consult your doctor.  And of course you should consult your doctor and not take it if you smoke, have smoked, have a pre existing liver disorder, etc.
