Update ** Ended up stopping sometime time last fall and starting again in January 2016... it's been about 6 months now on a steady dose of 100 mg and there's still no improvement or reduction in my o...

after 5 months its still working for me.. every time I stop taking it I get oily again.

  You may need a higher dose- 1000IU for every 25 pounds.

Hey guys..always just been curious about this as there is so much debate whether or not acne products (BP, exfoliators etc..) can cause the skin to become more oily?   Does stripping the skin re...

Officially 1 week and I've seen a major major reduction in oil... Taking 5000IU daily. Never seen a reduction this quick before! Crossing my fingers it sticks.

is anyone STILL clear or have reduced oily from taking vitamin D?

So I'm a little confused. I've made a couple posts/comments about how I'd been taking Spiro or..what I thought was Spiro? for over a year at 25mg twice a day with NO improvement. Keep in mind I did th...

I didn't notice results until I went up to 100mg, so I think it's a good dosage for many people. Did you stay less oily on the 100mg? I haven't seen results yet being on 100 mg and its been a year...

Hey guys..I've noticed the last month or so I'm a lot less oily after waking up in the morning. Meaning during the night I produce a lot less oily than during the day.   The only thing I use dif...

mine too!!!! any particular reason you guys have come up with?

Hey! I've been taking Spironolactone (indicated as Teva-Spironolactone on the bottle) and I'm just wondering whether anyone knows if there's a true difference between the available brands with regards...

I'm really curious what my brand is but all I see on my bottle is Teva-Spironolactone. I googled "Teva" but couldn't determine if it was brand name or generic. Perhaps labelling is different in Canada...

  200 mg worked for you? meaning 100mg didn't?

  Hey guys..which of the above is the stronger anti androgen? Spiro or Diane-35 (Cyproterone Acetate)   Tried researching it but there's not much info.

Can someone please explain to me the difference between having oily skin from GENETICS and having oily skin because of hormones? How does this relate to androgens?   I don't understand... from e...

I'm also from Canada and have been taking the Teva- Spironolactone for a year without results. I'm switching to the brand name Aldactone.. did you have any luck with the Teva one?

I'm from Canada too and was on the Teva-Spironolactone for a year and never noticed any reduction in oil. Did it ever work for you?!

  Also...I'm from Canada and the brand I was given said " Teva-Spironolactone"..which apparently is generic. I called the pharmacy and switched to Aldactone( the brand name) to see if that make...

Start spiro for OILY skin only.. Don't have much acne anymore besides some clogging. From dates of June 2014 to March 29th. I was taking 25mg twice a day.   March 29th 2015- still saw no impro...

Just wanted to let you guys know and seeee if I can get any advice .. That I switched to a higher dose spiro as of March 29th 2015. I began taking 50mgs twice a day. The increase still hasn't helped m...

Hi guys, Just curious if you have any suggestions for mineral makeup formulated without zinc/titanium oxide..one of those if not both are definitely clogging my pores. As soon as I stop wearing the m...

Did the foundation break you out at all? Looking at a mineral powder with arrowroot as it's base..wondering how it might be!

Hey guys…I've started noticing I have some pigmentation starting from not wearing sunscreen everyday and I want to start immediately, I'm just worried about breaking out or getting clogged pores now t...

Are you sure your dose is 0.25 mg? I don't think spiro is manufactured at that low of a dose. Likely 25 mg. In any case, I take 50 mg twice a day and have for 2 years now. It took a while (~3 months) ...

Hey guys... So I've been on a low dose of 0.25 mg twice a day(0.5 mg total)…It's now been 2 months exactly and I've seen no improvements at all. My skin is extremely extremely oil...
