Contraception/acne

My DD is 20 and in long term relationship. She's tried the combined pill and has recently used the depo injection, however, she's gained 10 pounds and feels it is making her skin very oily and making her acne worse. Does anyone have any advice on contraceptive method that will help her skin? I'm sure I've read about one of the pills helping with acne? I've posted in health but maybe chat has more traffic (sorry long time lurker but don't start threads)

Dianette or Co-cyprindiol are the pills I have had to use since I was 15, they are the only ones which keep my acne at bay, I also do not have any weight gain on them. Most other hormonal contraceptives make Acne worse. A lot of people have real trouble getting their GP's to prescribe it long term though.

Marvelon is the one my GP went straight for when I went on for my acne so another one to think about if Dianette not an option. Works for me
