Dianette : Oral Contraceptive

well this really worked for me, cleared up my skin, made it less greasy...after 2 years though im sure the spots were coming back when i was on it...so decided to come off it at the new year, my skin was fine for 4 months but now started to break out..when back to the doctor who has given me antibiotics.. starting to clear up but was thinknig of going back on dianette for contraceptive use as well, after reading everyones reviews i am abit scared!!!!!

COULD ANYONE LET ME KNOW HOW LONG IT ROUGHLY TAKES FOR DIANET TO TAKE EFFECT WITH CLEARING UP YOUR SKIN? X

i've been on dianette since i was 15 and acne clear up witin weeks, i tried everythin and this is the only method that worked!! I had nearly perfect skin for the whole time i was takin dianette but stopped takin it coz wanted to lose some weight and within 3 months my skin was worse than ever!! i've now started agin on the dianette has only been a week so haven't really seen a change but will let write again to say the time span in which it took!

I was on this pill for 8 years as my body doesn't like lower dose pills. The thing was I never went on it for acne but when I came off it I had the worst breakouts ever - for a good 2 to 3 years. Sore blind pimples, smaller whiteheads - everything... it was mainly the blind ones that hurt. I know of 3 or 4 other people that exactly the same thing happened too. I will never go on it again as the pain of the pimples was too much. My skin finally cleared up but I got scarring. I tried all sorts of treatments, naturopaths etc (apart from roaccutane) and nothing cleared it apart from Proactiv - but saying that it was a fair while on from stopping the pill when I used it so it could have finally been out of my body

Bottom line for me is i am considering going on yasmin instead as it is a very strong pill. if it can cause disorders to an unborn , what could it be doing to you or any future kids you plan to have

Dianette has cleared my skin up quiet alot.I still suffer from the odd outbreak every week or so but the odd out spot her and there does not bother me unlike the acne I had all on my cheeks and chin. It was horrible and i was so depressed! Dianette has been great for me and I am staying on it for a few more months then maybe try something thats less strong. It really has helped my skin but be careful its strong.

Its totally brilliant, I would recommend Dianette to anyone who is needing a confidence boost because of their skin. It works wonders!

I never had very bad spots in the first place but enough for me to want to change my pill from microgynon to this, as I felt the other pill was to blame for my bad skin. Both pills are good for controlling periods but neither have done much for my skin. After using dianette my skin is less greasy but I have at times had horrible spots. I believe stress is the cause of my spots. I advice people to drink red tea, white tea and green tea. After starting to drink red tea (along with white tea) I have gone a month with not a single bad spot, only the odd blocked pore. These teas are great! I'm going to have to come off Dianette soon. I hope I don't have the problems mentioned! I think I'll go for Yasmin for a few months and then be pill free as I may be better off this way! Apparently saw palmetto (a herb) may be good but DO NOT take it with Dianette.

What's the point in haing nice skin and looking pretty if you can't get any, lol? Great if you're not having sex, I guess? I hear a lot of comments about problems with the liver though. I wouldn't recommend it.

i am quite young and have been taken microlite for 3 weeks now.i find that i am breaking out in spots all over my chin.normally i have clear skin and its making me self concience!
