I believe that Intracel is suppose to combat active acne, as well as scars. The lady who did mine said it does and I have also read that it improves acne. I can't really speak for myself because I don...

Thank you! I have experienced quite clear skin since I last posted, which has been amazing - however, after washing my face tonight, I noticed that I am beginning to breakout all over. Not too sure if...

Hello all, I have suffered with acne for years and years and to cut a long story short I have tried (what feels like) everything. Some have worked, some haven't - but nothing has worked for longer tha...

I just wanted to update anybody who's interested that I'm still on Dianette - 1 year and 3 months in from beginning this medication. I haven't updated this post for a year, which was when my skin bega...

I have suffered with these incredibly irritating tiny bumps on my forehead before, so so annoying to tilt your face up to the light and see the many bumps across your forehead!   In my experien...

Hey Loz! I haven't been able to access my account for ages for some reason, but I've fixed it now. Also, I'm exactly the same as you - for the past month my skin has been really good. Only a few spo...

UPDATE: I am 2 days away from being on Dianette for 2 months. Over the past week, my skin has seemed to have begun 'clearing' - not greatly, I don't suspect this will last at all. I did get a new spot...

Well you certainly have one in me! It's strange really, but I always find I can't really vent to friends and family. They offer kind words and encouragement, but at the end of the day they just can't...

Hang on in there. My skin broke out like crazy in the second month. Things seem to be slightly better for me at the minute (just passed month 4) but still nowhere near where I'd hoped I'd be. I suppo...

Hi, recently, my face has been really oily too - so annoying! I really think the worst thing you can do is wash your face more, as your oil glands will work harder to produce more oil, which makes it ...

Hi I dont have enough time to read your entire diary, I just wanted to say I've taken Dianette for 8 months and it's worked great. My skin is no longer oily, I still have the occasional spot but it's ...

UPDATE: Skin is still quite bad. Big, painful lumps on my cheeks/lower half of my face - which is strange as these are not typically the type of spots I usually get. Have been applying Sudocrem to th...

UPDATE: 5 days later I am still breaking out like crazy. THIS SUCKS! Some cystic spots too, which are obviously just the worst. Most of them though feel like the types of spots that you could so easi...

Update: Skin is still breaking out…pretty bad. So many lumps and bumps over my cheeks /lower part of my face. Really hope I don't have to wait too long for it to start kicking in - this is driving me ...

Loz you sound so similar to me! I am really really good at not picking my skin at all, I never ever do it. Even when one is screaming out for me to pick it, I always leave it alone as I want to escape...

No problem - yes I do remember having an initial breakout - I don't remember it being absolutely terrible, but my memory with my skin isn't very good. I'd say it took about two months (three at the mo...

Hi Palegreeneyes, Good luck with your journey. I've been taking dianette (or the genetic version of) for a little over 3 months. Nothing to report as of yet. Perhaps a 15% improvement (?) but it's di...

I can't remember when my skin started to clear, but I do remember that it didn't take too long. Not immediate at all, but definitely not months and months of waiting. Honestly Differin (and Duac, for ...

So the 7 day break is up and I started taking a new pack of pills today. I have had a slight breakout of a few new spots, one cystic spot on my cheek. Feels as though I have been on this medication f...

Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone - I too am absolutely fed up with my acne, so much so that I rarely leave my house these days. It has really got to the stage where I feel as though I...

I was prescribed Differin (with Duac, as well) years ago - it cleared my skin beautifully. Unfortunately, this only seemed to last 2 years and then I begun to break out bad again. I still to this day ...

Years ago I was prescribed Accutane for my acne - about 6 months in it did the trick, I was almost 100% clear, which was fabulous. Unfortunately, this did not last long at all and within months my acn...

Hey, I just read through your post and found it so interesting as I am myself currently on Dianette for acne. I'm only one month in and am still getting spots, which is really depressing me. The othe...

UPDATE: Today I experienced emotional HELL. I felt as though I was having a breakdown, so many tears and feelings of major depression. Am not sure if this is due to the pill but it does seem likely. ...

Am now currently on the 7 day break after taking the pill for 21 days. I still have spots and can't say I've noticed much of an improvement so far, but hopefully I'll start to see an improvement after...
