Yasmin (4 months) caused severe acne/dry skin, FemmeTab reviews?

Looking for some suggestions or positive experiences on Femmetab 100/20. I've been on Yasmin for 4 motnhs (purely for birth control), gave it plenty of time as suggested. Loved it and no problems, apart from causing severe acne and painfully dry skin. I've never in my life expereinced such bad acne, even as a teen (now 27).

I have a prescription for FemmeTab 100/20, was told less side effects as its a lower dose, but also different progestin. I've also looked into the types of progestin in each and think it was the drospirenone in Yasmin that caused my problems. Just after some experiences or feedback on either or both if you've switched. TIA
