Is Loestrin 24 Causing Unwanted Facial Hair?

Hi, I am currently taking Loestrin 24 and have noticed unwanted facial hair. Is this a side effect on this pill? I read that it has has an androgen excess because it has such a low dosage of estrogen and more progestin so it can cause hair growth. Is this true?
