Not bad if your patient enough.

Started breaking out terribley 3 years ago at the age of 23..severe cystic acne all over my cheeks and forehead..my doctor recommended this pill..however it did break me out even more for the first 3 months. (It’s like it purged all the crap from your skin first before clearing it) at month 4 I noticed my skin started to clear...at month 5 my skin was 100% clear. So I do recommend to all the girls to stick it out it does work! You just have to be patient and give it time. It really does get worse before it gets better I’m so glad I didn’t give up as it made my skin break out more at first.however I did decide to go off the pill for a couple months last year and my skin broke out like craaazy again! I’m talking 20-30 cystic pimples in about a month! So just be aware if you do decide to go off it eventually you’ll probably break out really bad. Now 7 months in my skin is 100% clear.only time I get a pimple now is around my period just one or two small whiteheads which is better then the painful cysts I use to get.

Eczema and rosacea after 1 year

I'm crying as I write this post. Diane 35 ruins my skin. I have been on the medication for 1 whole year now and while most of my acne has dissapeared, I have developed severe eczema and rosacea. I'm only 18 years old and starting to see wrinkles. I'm sure it's because of this pill as I didn't change my routine/diet at all. I'm still on DIane, because the negative reviews when stopping the pill scare me. But how much worse could it get? My skin looks worse than ever, completely ruined. I hoped my skin would clear up after 6 months, it didn't. Not sure what to do now. I don't go outside anymore and skip a lot of classes in college because of the fysical/mental pain.

Literally the worst medical decision I have ever made - please reconsider!

I was first recommended Diane 35 when I was 15 as I was showing signs of PCOS: acne, excess body hair, severe cramps, oily, etc. I read reviews online and I didn't feel comfortable taking it yet. Once I turned 20, I decided I would give it a shot. My acne was moderate, but not severe, so I was hoping Diane 35 would clear it up while helping my cramps and body hair. It was great at first - I took it and a few months later my acne was completely gone. My cramps were under control and my body hair was about the same. After a year on the pill, I had seriously perfect skin. After about a year and a half on Diane 35, I started to develop sensitivity to light. I was getting migraines. I started to have horrible leg cramps and panic attacks. I ended up in the ER one night and the doctor said to get off Diane 35, so I did. Things were fine for three months. I noticed I started getting a bit of acne again and knew it was because I was off Diane. But then I got more. And more, and more. The acne was cystic and covered my entire face and chest, it was horrible. Like, when you google acne pictures and see the really severe ones. Way worse than anything I had before. I tried waiting it out for 6 months but after not having the confidence to leave the house, I went back to my doctor. I tried Alesse, but it did nothing. Ortho Tri-Cyclen, but it didn't help. Antibiotics, nope. Retin-A made things 10x worse. I finally broke down and said I needed to be back on Diane. Sure enough, a few months later and my acne had cleared, but I was left with severe scarring. Things were fine for about 6 months, and then I started to get the same symptoms that led me to get off Diane in the first place. My heart would beat way too fast, head hurts, couldn't be under any fluorescent lights, leg cramps, depression. Once again - back in the ER for DVT testing. I knew I couldn't stay on Diane but I felt like a prisoner to it. I did my own research and thought I would try transitioning off it by starting Spironolactone. I asked my doctor for 100g and took it immediately after stopping Diane. It worked, but spiro gave me crazy nausea. I would throw up every morning for 6 months. I'm now 24, I've been on spiro for two years, and my skin is manageable but not perfect like it was on Diane. My periods aren't regular on spiro though and now I'm experiencing a ton of hair loss, which has been another nightmare. If I could go back, I would have never started Diane 35. I wish I took all those reviews I read online to heart; that you become a slave to it. Without spiro, my acne flares up. If I ever want kids one day, I will have to get off the spiro. Especially if you are young, please try other methods before messing with your hormones. What I had wasn't bad but Diane 35 changed my life forever. Hopefully my story can prevent one girl from going through the same.

Great!

I think it is great! I originally got put on this with accutane (and my acne wasn't reaally that bad, but you need to take birth control with accutane and this is what my doctor put me on). I've been on it for 4 years now and had no regrets (yes the articles about people dying from blood clots freak me out every now and then). Not only has it completely cleared, and kept my acne at bay, but it reduced my facial hair (not that it was crazy). I think it is great. Made my gain weight a little bit (in places I'm okay with), and I don't think it has affected my mood. All in all, I am happy and recommend.

I'll have to wait to see the results

I've been struggling with acne for almost 8 years and there has definitely been ups and downs. I was looking back at photos from two years ago and my skin looked much better. I'm now 20 but my acne came back probably because I have been stressing from uni. I went to the GP and was recommended Estelle 35 for the sake of contraception and acne treatment. I just finished my first pack but I have been getting more cystic acne around my jawline and there are about 8 of them at the moment. I know, terrifying! I also have a lot of whiteheads around my mouth, and my skin around my eyes, nose, and mouth are very dry, and I have flakes all around them. I just read the review saying it will take time( 4-6 months) so I'll definitely have to see what Diane 35 will do to my skin!

Give it time!!

I've had moderate acne all over my face ever since I hit puberty, and literally nothing I ever did or used made the slightest impact. On Jan 2017 I decided to switch from Levlen to Diane. For 6 months I saw little to no improvement, although I did notice that my skin would be clearer at the end of my cycle and that I was getting more cystic acne rather than lots of smaller pimples. On June 2017 my skin was at its worst- I had 4 giant cystic pimples on my birthday and I was so miserable. I was almost ready to quit but every cycle after that month my skin kept improving! Now I'm at the point where I can barely recognise my skin-its so smooth and soft, I don't have a single pimple on my face at the moment (something I haven't experienced since I was 12). I feel like a new person, and have finally ditched the heavy foundation and concealer I would always hide behind. So if anyone on this pill is frustrated or convinced it won't work for them, BE PATIENT!! I've honestly never felt better in my life and still can't believe I actually found something that works for me :)

wasted two months

first of all I should say that it was the first time I went on the pill and I went off it after less then two months I tend to break out around ovulation and I also needed birth control so I got prescribed Diane-35 (actually it was Syndi-35 but that's literally the same thing). I was really excited about it but it kept making me feel gross: I started having blackheads (which I had never had before) and my acne got WAY worse. I felt so bad about myself because of my skin that I didn't even want to see my bf (my libido was extremely low too) a weird thing is that wounds just wouldn't heal, seemingly because of the pill (a very bad thing if you suffer from dermatillomania). also I got f*****g oral herpes for the first time in my life. and I kept having a cold. I really do think Diane-35 weakened my immune system. so now I just stopped taking the pill and I really do feel better mentally. my skin also feels nicer and everything is finally starting to heal. my biggest concerns now is whether my cycle will go back to normal (I really hope so) I don't particularly regretting trying it out but I really wouldn't recommend it as an acne treatment. it seems to work as BC for some people, but I don't think it's worth using it just for acne.

Did not work for me honestly

Hi, I just went off the diane 35 pill while on my 6th pack, therefore my during my 6th month of it because it did not work for me at all. I feel compelled to write this review as while on it i read on here it may take 3-4 months to start working (I am not saying this isnt true) which is what motivated me to be so patient with it to eventually see if it did start working! On the diane 35 pill i would noticed my skin would clear up and then breakout again, this was a vicious cycle that continued for the entirety of the pill, I believe this was because my body couldnt balance with the strong hormons from the pill. Nearing the end I was giving it final chances, ie if it didnt break out horribly again, which of course it did, I also noticed that my skin was actually extremely worse than when i started the pill. I've quit the pill for almost a month now and my skin's condition has increased increadibly, I am approaching my first period since quitting and have only developed 3-4 pimples. I am not on any medication currently the only changes I have made is using a niaminicide serum every morning and a retinoid every other day & I have reduced my diary intake significantly but I cannot comment on that effectiveness yet Backround about me: 2-3 years ago I was on doxycycline for 6 months + contraception pills and topical creams which didnt help much, so i was classified as having severe cystic acne. I then did a course of roacctuane which kept my skin pimple free for a bit over a year, when I started getting pimples again is when i went on diane (6 months ago). Acne runs in my family, my father and his brothers/sisters have had acne into their 30/40s so I am determined to seek a cure !! :)

Poison

Please don't take this pill. All hormonal birth control is bad, but this is the absolute worst. Thinned my hair to the point that you can see scalp, and 1 year after stopping, it is still falling out. Yes it made my skin mildly better...but if I could go back in time I would shake myself and scream 'clean up your diet, read The Period Repair Manual, practice good skincare and get off the pill!!' Having clear skin for a short period of time and then paying the consequences forever couldn't be less worth it. Besides my skin is better now than anytime I was on the pill. I just cut out dairy and sugar. Other Diane side effects included: insomnia, migraines, muscle cramps, anxiety, skin pigmentation, rosacea and depression. All of these went away when I stopped taking Diane. Unfortunately my hair is still dead. Please girls, don't do it.

yes and no!!!!!!

Yes.. Diane35 gives you nice skin..never pimpels..shiny hair.. and it fights against unwanted hairgrowth.. but wait when you stop the pill for any reason. You will pay the price for it, beautiful stories doesnt last forever.. diane distroyed everything in my body after 2 years only of using it. I stopped in february since that day i suffered until now from oily and dead hair and acne.. yes its good for a while when u take it but it destroys completely your hormones. Be carefull with the birh control as it is an chemical hormonal.

So many benefits, if you're patient!

Had my IUD removed after a year as I had nothing but bad experiences using it... acne, weight gain (8kg/ 17lbs) terrible mood swings and extremely low libido. I started Diane about a month after IUD removal. At first my acne got slightly worse and was quite moody and sad. I wanted to throw Diane out and stop taking it.. but I have heard to give it a few months to work and i'm so glad I did! About 2-3 months in my acne started disappearing, my periods are SO light and haven't had any cramps since taking Dianne. I have had no weight gain with Dianne and haven't had any trouble losing weight while on it. Not only that but my mood has changed dramatically. I feel happy and calm and so pleased I stuck it out and gave this pill a chance.
