Hi. Acne occurs when androgens (hormones) stimulate the sebaceous glands which produce oil. Bacteria on the skin feeds off this oil leading to acne.
If that particular brand of pill didn't suit you, try a different one. The best ones for clearing acne are anti-androgen pills such as Diane35 (Dianette) or combined pills such as Ortho Tri-cyclen (Cilest).
If you don't want to take the pill ask your doctor about treating acne with oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline or topical retinoids like Retin-A or Differin gel.
