Abstract :
[en] Acne is a multifactorial disorder affecting the vast majority of adolescents and young adults. Among the therapeutic armamentum, estroprogestative contraception can be offered to young women. The choice must, however, be carefully targeted because the estroprogestative associations do not show similar anti-acne efficacy. A new contraceptive associating 20 micrograms of ethinyl estradiol and 100 micrograms of levonorgestrel (Lowette) has proven its clinical efficacy in this indication.
