Diane-35 : Oral Contraceptive

If you are having problems with acne, you should try diane 35. It worked wonders for my skin. I had to stop taking it because of intense migraines.

I've always had clear skin using topical creams but when I turned 18,that's when i broke out like CRAZY! it started with mild acne then over a year I had severe acne all over my face and under my chin!I've tried everything, proactive, murad, acne face wash, spa products, facials and even antibiotics. it would just improve my skin for a little bit then it would get worse again!I'm a model, so skin care is a MUST! I've lost few jobs due to my skin and was stressing out. Then my doctor introduced me to Diane-35. I researched about it and heard lots of negative comments, but used it anyway. surprisingly I didn't haven ANY side effects.my skin started to improve in a month and slowly everything CLEARED by 5 months. I was on it for 7 months and I'm off it pill for 1 week now..starting to see tiny mild closed black heads..come back..

never had better skin but im a lil sick of the weight gain, but because ive had acne for the past 10 yrs and tried everythin possible on earth i dont mind lil weight gain for that perfect clear skin. i dont have to cry anymore cos of havin acne all over!!!!

I tried everything to stop getting the horrible, painful spots (more like hives) on my back, which I had been getting for 5 years. I am 33 years old. After consulting several dermatologists, and all treatment failing, I was given two solutions, try Diane 35 and if that didnt work then it would be a very serious treatment with a lot of side effects. Thankfully Diane 35 worked. I swear by it. The only trouble is when I came off it, about two months later the spots reappeared.

Diane has given me 12 years of beautiful smooth skin and the confidence that I wont wake up to a face full of pimples. I first took it for a year and then went off it, but after a year I became frustrated with acne again (can't remember how long it took to return) and went back on it for 12 years (I'm 33 years young now!). I reluctantly stopped taking it 4 months ago as my husband and I would like to try and have a baby. I have had a couple of pimples on my chin but nothing distressing. On the back of my neck I have developed full-on acne but am not too worried about it given it's not a noticeable area. My skin and hair are very oily and my breasts have gone from a D-cup to a B, but nothing too problematic so far (fingers crossed it stays that way). The first 'home-made' period was associated with terrible depression but it only lasted for about two weeks and am feeling normal again. On the weight gain issue - I think all BCPs affect weight.

i use these pills before going to sleep as i heard they start "working" after 4-5hrs and can be tough to handle with. although once i took it during the day and had some problems with breathing (like there was no oxygen) and felt too hot all the time. still, i'm more than satisfied with the results and strongly advise it to everyone with similar problems

Been on this medication on and off for years for my acne and nothing has worked as well as Diane-35.Hair is much better condition-I found I had to wash it twice a day before,don't have any sickness as I take the pill just before sleeping,no weight gain at all,boobs are curvier,no tummy upsets.Overall,bloody good pill.

I have been fortunate enough to not have experienced some of the nasty side effects mentioned here. Before taking Diane I had suffered from moderate acne for 12 years, mostly breaking out in my chin area. Like others, I had tried practically everything out there to clear up my skin, all to no avail. I did not expect the results I got with Diane and was so happy to have clear skin for the first time in what seemed like forever. About 4 months ago I started taking a lot of vitamins for detox purposes and I believe that they interacted with the Diane because I missed 2 periods and then finally got the worst, heaviest period I had ever experienced accompanied by horrible cramps. Right around that time my face broke out terribly - worse than it had been before taking Diane. I am just now on my second month of taking Diane again and hopefully it will clear up my skin again. I fear I may have to be on it for the rest of my life - for the sake of vanity. Ugh. I need my confidence back!

I have been taking it for 4-5 years, can't remember now; works wonders but can't say if my acne will return once i stop

I have had acne for as long as I can remember, started breaking at the age of 14, tired everything under the sun from antibiotics, diet and excercise but nothing really worked as well as Diane, I had it for 5 months and the effects started showing from the 3 month my skin had completly cleared, it really helped my self confidence, i stopped having it after the fifth month. My skin broke out in the worst possible manner after quiting, I did not want to go any where or meet anyone. My dermatologist asked me to go back on diane, i had for fifteen days but in the mean-time I did my research and found out that you had to be on diane to enjoy clear skin you most definately break out once you stop having it and the side-effects scared me, I took a call and quit it once again this time mid-cylce. I'm so glad I told the decision my skin is far from perfect but its getting there, I have the strictest diet, I exercise everyday and am on homeopathy and its working wonders.
