Hey users!
Been on Dianette for 11 full months now, starting my month 12 tomorrow. However, this is my last month and will be a full year on Dianette so my doctor now wants me to change back to Yasmin.
Prior to Dianette I was on Yasmin for 2 and a half years, 2 of which my skin was great but the last 6 months it was really quite awful! Preying my skin won't go back to the bad stage and it was just a random blip of my hormones, however, just wondering what other peoples experiences of the Dianette to Yasmin change was?
Thanks so much! Please reply with any experience/questions/anything at all
I am on Dianette too and have been for a year and it hasn't helped my acne whatsoever. So I was wondering if Yasmin might be better for my acne so if anyone could answer this post, it would be great
Well, I can tell you that for the first two years I was on Yasmin i had GREAT skin ! Better than on Dianette. however, for the last 6 months it was awful. I'm going bad on it in a month so i can let you know
Hi Sksk
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Do you live in the UK? I have been on Rigevidon (microgynon) for about 3 years.. Only seen bad acne return in the past year as I stopped using Duac when it was discontinued..since then my skin has been horrendous!!! I tried changing to Cilest but after the first pack I developed awful big red painful spots on my cheeks that I had not really had before..Did you experience this when you changed initially? I chickened out on cilest and went back to rigevidon as I didn't want the cheek spots again when I took the next pack of Cilest..and guess what..my painful cheek spots are reoccurring!!

Yeah I do live in the UK! Ah okay, i have a few friends on microgynon. I've had Duac before, but i could never get along with it very well. Whats your schedule for Duac? Morning/night? Do you use it all over your areas on just on more specific areas? I used Zineryt lotion before which was great
How come you never tried Yasmin? Apparently its one of the best for skin

It
I was using Duac every evening for just over 2 years and had great skin looking back. It got discontinued about a year ago and when it came back in the winter they had added a new ingredient and it did not work for me anymore. Ah is Zineryt a bottle with a blue mesh top? I have just heard about bad side effects with Yasmin which put me off so I have never asked for it, last time my doctor did say about Dianette but said there are side effects associated with it. How has Dianette been for you? Have you noticed any side effects whilst on it?
