Pros:Vy good for clearing acne and smoothen skin.
Quick result (1 month)
Cons:A bit too expensive and slight headache & gain weight.
Bottom Line:I found that Diane 35 is perfectly good for solving acne problem that gives fast result. Besides, it helps smoothen my skin and improve my skin texture. However, I was made to understand that this product has to be discontinued after the 4th month. Is this true ? What is the effect if we continue even after that ? And, if we take a break after the 4th month, when can it be started back ? Perhaps not for acne but a better skin texture.
I was actually very happy that I have found a good product that I do not wish to stop taking it.

Pros:Clearer skin all over, skin less oily
Cons:Price is expensive, frequent headaches
Bottom Line:I have been using diane 35 for 4 months and my skins is clearer than it's been in a long time. After 3 months my skin was still pretty bad so I was skeptical but after the 4th month my skin is clear but still has acne scars, my back and chest are perfectly clear but i get occasional pimples on my face but not as bad as before

Pros:It cleared up the cysts
Cons:No libido, headaches, weight gain, depression
Bottom Line:I have been on & off this for 7 years now, it DOES make you gain weight. And quite rapidly. I am naturally aeound 43-44kg but whilst on it will fluctuate up 2-3kgs (on a small person is quite noticeable). The lack of sex drive is the one that has really affected my relationship. My boyfriend is wonderful & we try hard but most of the time it's just not happening. I will credit this drug though for clearing up the bout of cystitis I had. I have PCOS & the first symptom was after going 18years without even one pimple suddenly in 2 weeks I had dozens of cysts.... diane took a while but got rid of them, everytime I had gone off it they have come back. So side effects will actually not deter me, i will stay on it until a better alternative is developed

Pros:clear glowing acne free skin, bigger boobs, birth control
Cons:mood swings and price
Bottom Line:It was recommended to me by my doctor since i was 16 for my irregular cycles. It really works to regulate my period plus they are way lighter and less painful now. After a couple of months my acne was gone and to avoid it coming back i usually take it on and off, at least stop it off for like 3mths every year.
This is the best product ever.

Pros:It used to clear up my face...
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I was on Diane35 for a good 7 years and my skin was model perfect. It was gorgeous! Then I lost my health insurance and figured since my face was so clear I could go on a different pill. I was off the Diane for only about 3 months and my face looked horrible!! So I went back on the Diane although it is super expensive, I'm on my 4th pack now and my face is still really bad :( I also started using Proactiv about 1 month ago and no change. I'm getting scared that it won't clear up again. It seems hopless. I really hope that the Diane will kick back in soon and clear up my face again.
I had such good results with this pill a while ago, I really wish I didn't go off it.

Pros:Bigger Boobs, Contraceptive, (gradually) clearning up my skin
Cons:Depressive - caused me to become antisocial, paranoid, loss of self worth
Bottom Line:I have not noticed any weight gain. And I suffer from PCOS so I was prescribed diane mainly to treat my acne. I've been on it for 2 months and I have noticed that my skin has improved. However, it still has a while to go before my skin will be completely clear. I have active acne that is "deep", ie it has been there for a very long time. My doctor told me that skin takes a few months to completely heal so it will probably be 2-3 more months before my skin is completely clear.
The only con is that it has affected my moods. I've become antisocial and paranoid.

Pros:Cleared up skin, larger breasts, non oily skin, better complextion(smoother)
Cons:Crazy bad mood swings (crying randomly and getting mad), tiny bit of weight gain, cost for me
Bottom Line:This really worked on my skin. It good a good three months to kick in but my skin looks ten times better 9 months later....im kind of scared to switch to a lower dosage of birth control just because of the fact of my acne might come back and all that hard work would go to waste.
