Pros:

absolutely amazing!!!! had loads of spots, went on diannette-stuck with it for tw months ish before it kicked in- have had no spots for 3 years-

Cons:

i came off it and my spots came back!!!!!here's what i do to keep them at bay....no contraceptive pill..perscription of Dalacin T topical solution(the lotion sucks)...easy to get, just ask your doctor. Then i brought 'panoxyl' (£3 online) really gr8

oh if you get spots on your chest/ back i find just daily wash with soap(not shower gel) sorts these.i recommend diannnette despite the worse spots afterwards- was worth the years of freedom and perfect skin!!!! i really recommend panoxyl cream- dries spot right up!!!!!!

Pros:

- Free (I don't pay for prescription) & bigger boobs
- Noticable results within 2 months
- Also helps anemia by having lighter periods

Cons:

- MAY have gained a little weight but I go to the gym, so just go to the gym and you won't
- Periods are actually slightly messed up which is weird considering the pill is supposed to regulate them

I know dianette has a lot of bad reviews so I was scared to try it, but this is the now the 3rd contraceptive pill I have been on and I had bad side effects with the first two - but none with dianette. My skin looks so much better after two months, people are even commenting on how much better it is. I've combined it with monthly glycolic peels and the result has been amazing. My skin is no longer oily, even at the end of the day. I still have a few spots but they are small and and easy to deal with, no psychological impact of acne anymore...My skin even looks clear with make up and the way it's going in a month or two I won't even need it. I will worry about coming off this pill when the time comes - definatly recommend trying!

Pros:

Clears skin, hair isn't as greesy, skins more matted,
Bigger booobs, FREEE

Cons:

period pains very painful, takes about 4/6 months to work. apparenty hard to come off, vomiting after alcohol,

I have suffered with acene from the age of 14. i have extremely sensitive skin meany any tropical lotions and proxide creams just burn and dry out my skin. I also scar easily and as antibiotics weren't helping in the slightest i felt i had no other choice than to try a contraception pill. In the first few weeks i noticed my skin had become alot less greesy and i didn't get any big red spots anymore. I have beeen on dianette for about 4 months now and spots have completly cleared. i noticed my boobs got bigger with in a month and as i was already a huge size this was quite anoying. my periods are alot more controled now and regular although the first day of my period the cramps are HELL. i wouldn't recommend anything other than this pill as it simply works wonders for your acene. It also makes your sex drive extremley high. people need to stop baming the pill on all there problems, maybe your gaining weight because your eating more.

Cons:

first two days of taking it I threw up a lot and felt weak... first month I didnt feel myself was very snappy and moody and ate a lot :(

The first month was really bad :( but after that it was ok!! Was back to being myself.

My period used be about 6 days long now its only about 4. My boobs have grown... not a lot!! but I'm happier with them now! lol :D i used always have bad cramps on my period and i still do :( but I would definately reccommend this product!

Pros:

Acne has almost completley cleared up, periods are lighter, no weight gain, skin less oily

Cons:

Sore boobs, still get the odd spot around my period , took a few months before there was an improvement in my skin.

I had suffered from appalling hormonal acne around my chin and mouth for a long time. It would break out around ten days before my period, and I would have horrible puss filled painful spots. Just as they would be starting to clear up, I'd break out again and it was a vicious cycle. My skin began to scar and I felt self concious. I had tried everything. Benzyl Peroxide, Dalacyn, Oxytetracline. Then my doctor put me on dianatte. At first I noticed little results, in fact my skin was worse. Then after three months my skin suddenly began to imrpove. It was really noticable, I had fewer spots and my skin was far less oily. I'd guess that my skin is around 98% better than it was before. Ive been taking it for a year now and because I have less spots my scars are begining to fade away

Pros:

Cleared up acne quickly and worked on my face and body very well

Cons:

Loss of sex drive

I am now 29 and have been taking Diannette on and off for about 6 years. I came off it on April and the spots came back. So re-started it again yesterday. I hate having spots and it really does make you feel miserable.

Pros:

Clearer skin on face after first pack. Back is almost clear. Much less hormonal.

Cons:

Constant nausea and tiredness which disappeared during 7 day break!

Seems to be an effective pill for clearing acne. However it is getting very frustrating constantly feeling sick and tired as I am usually very active and find I have less energy. Not everyone seems to experience these symptoms though, and the leaflet says most symptoms disappear after the first few months...I hope!!!
