TLDR Both birth control pills improved hormone levels and skin conditions in women with hyperandrogenism, but the one with drospirenone was more effective.
The study compared the effects of two estroprogestins, one containing ethynilestradiol 30 µg and drospirenone 3 mg, and the other containing ethynilestradiol 30 µg and chlormadinone 2 mg, on skin and hormonal hyperandrogenic manifestations. The research was conducted by a team from various departments of the IRCCS-Istituto Dermopatico dell'Immacolata and the University of Tor Vergata in Rome, Italy. The findings indicated that both formulations were effective in reducing hyperandrogenic symptoms, but the specific impacts on skin conditions and hormonal levels were not detailed in the summary.
