Pros:

Cleared up the rare form of acne on my back when NOTHING else worked, regular longer periods giving less pain.

Cons:

Acne came back when I stopped the pill.

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.

Pros:

Clear skin and great birth control.

Cons:

gained some weight but who doesnt after their 20's.

My doctor in Brazil put me on it 5 years ago it cleared my skin. I had tried everything out there nothing ever worked except weekly facials but got to costly when i stopped the acne came back. Diane 35 has been the best thing that has ever happened to my skin I was battling acne since I was 12 I am in my late 20's now and have great skin.

Pros:

Clears up acne
Provides contraception
Lighter periods

Cons:

Expensive
Only temporarily solves the problem

I've had problems with acne since my teens and am now in my 30s. I have tried Diane 35 in the past for teen acne without much success.This was the last resort before taking roaccutane and has worked brilliantly, even after 5 weeks. I would definitely recommend it for anyone suffering from hormonal/adult acne!

Pros:

clearer skin
smaller pores
less oily
shorter periods
less cramping

Cons:

some spotting in between periods
it took a long time to clear my acne, probably six months

This product has helped so much. I have had acne for many years and even though I'm in my 30's, it was still bad. Now I finally have clear skin! I have had no weight gain, increase in appetite, or any hint of moodiness or depression. I would absolutely recommend Diane.
