my GP rang me today. Shes taking me off Dianette immediately and im going to have some test done next week apparently to rule any danger out. She's told me combined pills are off the table. I had high...

Urgh....   My face is so red and itchy and sore from the retin-a. I thought I was adjusting and BAM...I feel like my cheeks are sunburnt. I wasn't outside much and it's been super cloudy so it ...

That's really good news! Sounds like it's going to be easier from now on. Will be interested in hearing about your DIY peels when you get started!

This is me the first week of the combined treatment. Already some redness ect, this was taken in the morning before I washed my face.   This is tonight, week 2/3 roughly. As you can see I'm pre...

I definitely see a difference in my skin on my chin already! My mother saw me last night and is convinced the bumps on my cheeks have somehow slightly flattened already but that might just be wishful ...

I do seem to be on a lot, all at once, but I figure one of the changes has gotta work by the six month mark!   It is a little frustrating that after six months, if my skin will be clear (fingers...

This logs filled me with hope. I'm just been prescripted the same combo as you (except thanks to being female the docs also swapped my birth control to dianette, between my sexual health clinic and th...

Alright well where to begin.   26, mild to moderate acne. Concentrated on cheeks, closed comedones, skin bumps and inflamed hormonally positioned spots (jawline). Oily skin.   When I was y...
