ive been on dianette for 4 months and it's worked really well at reducing the oiliness of my skin (not stopped me breaking out though
 ) but this last week ive noticed that the oil is reappearing in the places on my face where it was worst...has this happened to anyone else? has the dianette stopped working or something?

Now using Nivea moisturising cleansing lotion and using a hot face cloth every few days to remove the flakiness} |

Um not really....I find my skin is really dry now!! But maybe it's sweat? try using oil free moisturisers for a while.

Diannette worked great for me. Can't say i've heard of that fluctuation in the oil.

I was on dianette for about 8months, it had no affect on my skin at all. I dont know whether things like that "just stop working", maybe your skins just not being affected by it anymore?

Diane shouldnt have this effect. Has there been any change in climate where you are? Been in the sun? Humidity and sun can increase oilness temporarily (usually dry once you get a tan but couple weeks after dryness clears up and gets oilier).
I find I still have oily skin on my forehead and chin even on Diane and Androcur but I live in Oz and it's been a hot humid summer so that's what I contribute my oiliness to at the moment. |
