Dianette : Oral Contraceptive

more cons than pros but going to stick with it a bit longer as i am enjoying having clear skin for the first time in years!

Throughout my teenage years I was constantly at the doctors trying to find a solution to try and clear up my very bad acne...tablets, gels, facewash...u name it I was on it!! And every time no improvement! Decided that nothing was going to work for me so went to the dermatologists and ended up on raccutane! This took no time to clear my skin! I was so chuffed with the results :) once my course of tablets was finished I stayed on dianette as a precaution to keep my skin clear and have been for years until recently! Dianette really helped keep my clear skin flawless! I went off them once for a few weeks and ended up having to go back onto raccutane again to control my spots! I gained weight on this pill but that's because I ate too many takeaways and drank too much booze once I went to Uni (it was worth it haha)...when I finished Uni the weight just dropped off! Lol this pill didn't affect my moods! To sum up...I was so pleased with Dianette! Am ragin my Doc has took me off it :(

Hello, I used this for 6 months for acne, with no improvement, I feel it made acne worse. The reason decided to put this review up is that it seemed to improve everyone's acne, so it must be a good treatment for most people, but incase there's someone in my situation as confused as I am, it is possible that dianette can make your acne worse, even though it works for the majority

This is the best treatment for acne I have ever used. Ever since coming off it in a attempt to get pregnant I have had greasy skin and hair to the point where it makes my eyes sore, acne and horrendous periods.

Good if you want bigger boobs without implants. Bad for everything else. Also its only temporary even if it did work, which means bad skin once more!!! Try something else first...l;ike tea tree or witch hazel etc!!!! Made my acne go from light-moderate to severe in first month!!!!

I was one dianette for 3 years. my skin cleared up really well and i didnt experience any weight gain. having come off it 2 months ago, my skin and hair are REALLY greasy and my acne has come back. im also feeling really moody and emotional and looking like crap doesnt help! period pains are unbearable now too :(

very happy I went on it, cleared up all my spots, just get one or two now, improved my confidencee. I now know exaclty when my period will arrive, never stuck and its a lot lighter. however after nights out and drinking, not even that much, am sick the next day. this never used to happen before, i had never even thrown up from drinking at all. I changed what and how much i drank but it didnt make a difference. i went to the doctor about it and she explined its because of what the pill does to your liver. gave me the option of coming off it onto a lighter one but since i m worried bout my spots coming back she put me on another 6 months and then is taking me off it. she s alsoo sending me for blood tests just to make sure it is the pill thats causing it. Will be on the pill 9 months in total. my weight has alwyas fluctuated so cant really blame the pill.

Love the bigger boobs and high sex drive. Lovin the weight gain but lots of women may not. takes quite a while to start working on the acne. only just noticing a difference now and i am at the end of pack 2. HATING the tiredness. really getting in the way of my life. My acne was never that bad, i never had a spot in my life until 2 years ago, they were just getting worse and worse i finally had enough and went crying to my doctor. the first 2 weeks were the worst in my life. felt very depressed, my whole face broke out, didnt want to do anything. feel much better now tho. would recomend but not to anyone prone to depression

Ive had moderate to severee acne for 5 years ruins your confidence and you just want to cover your face in makeup.just starting on dianette this month as i heard its very good!hopefully it will work?does it just stop you from getting new spots of clear ones and scars?

I have been taking Dianette for 3 months now. Within 2 weeks I noticed improvement in my skin. Previously, I used to get an itchy rash of really small spots, which used to be really angry and red alot of the time. After two weeks, the redness and lumpiness had gone down significantly. Now, however, I'm not sure if Dianette has reached its best. My skin doesn't seem to be improving much more. I still get spots, and am not confident in my skin. There are tiny marks from the previous spots/rash. Where I got spots the worst, though they're not as bad, I'm still getting them. It does definitly help, and I much prefer my skin now to how it was before. It hasn't been the miraculous skin clearing treatment I thought it would be though. I'm still looking for something else....
