Pros:Clears up skin a little
Cons:None
Bottom Line:I've been on the Diane for 6 months and my acne has improved a bit but it hasn't cleared up yet and I am getting very frustrated, I'm going to see another Dermatologist for a second opinion as I am getting scared of all the bad reviews when you come off this pill..I am not willing to take this pill for the rest of my life...it has been banned in the US for a reason and I regret taking it.
On the other hand, I haven't had any adverse symptoms as yet, no weight gain or loss, no cellulite, no headaches or moodswings...but these may appear after extended use of the pill.
Bottom Line, only take it if you have no other choice and you have tried EVERYTHING ELSE. Make sure to seek second and even third opinions.

Pros:clear and glowing skin
Cons:mood swings, hungrier than before, headaches!
Bottom Line:I've only been on the pill for 10 days and already people are telling me how great I look , my face is clearing up and glowing , I'm very happy! I'm hungrier than before , but that's not bad for me cause I'm 5ft 7 in and I weigh 108 pounds , so a few extra pounds should help me look better. I am having some mood swings and at night I get headaches , but until now that's all I really have to say about it. I'll come back and let you all know how the final results turne out . I'm 35 and have been struggling with the acne for quite some yrs. , tried just about everything , so I'm very excited!

Pros:I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries a month ago- my body wasnt convertin testosterone into estrogen as should n my period stopped for 3 months. Product corrects this. My skin was always great before so no review for that.
Cons:Since I've started taking it, I've been urinating way more. I take it about 9 am and for following hours i find myself visiting the rest room even 2 times an hour
Bottom Line:Thumbs up for Diane 35 (so far) - it works against the entire polycystic ovaries condition and thats really good. I'm waiting for weight gain though because I'm underweight and would welcome about 30 lbs of healthy weight

Pros:clear skin,less oily skin and hair
Cons:cellulite,water retention, hair loss,poor leg circulation
Bottom Line:the amout of cellulite scares me! I dont know if its caused by water retention or by taking hormones.My skin was not that bad to begin with, so the acne went away fas. I also experienced some hair loss.I started taking this only 3 weeks ago, but Im already going to go off of it.If I stay more than 5 minutes standing up, I notice some red spots on my legs, from poor circulation.I am giving it 3 stars because it does clear up your skin, but the side effects are a lot worse.

Pros:works....
Cons:NIGHTMARE...
major breakout after coming off it
Bottom Line:acne is genetic in my family, so when i went to the family doctor to finally keep it under control, she gave me "quick-fix" diane 35. this pill should be called death 35. after one month of feeling heavy, hungry and can you say initial-break-out-from-hell as well as reading countless reviews on the danger this pill causes, i decided to come off it. acne therapy indeed! after only being on one month of this pill my face had twice the acne i had to begin with, and ratehr than being concentrated in one area like it was, it was everywhere.

Pros:Clear Skin, Less oily skin.
Cons:Water retention
Bottom Line:I suffered from acne since I was 15, until one year ago, it got really bad. I had used a lot of treatments including tons of antibiotic and it never helped. Until my doctor gave me diane35 about one year ago. In the first 3 months nothing happened. But after that the skins get better and better. Now my skin has no acne, even though i put much less effort to take care of it (I dont go to facial anymore, and it's sure safe money). I gained +/- 3 kgs since i take this pills from water retention, and it is much harder to make muscle. (I train in the gym almost everyday +/- 2 hours a day). I think it is a trade off for losing the acne.
