Pros:

Baby smooth skin, no oilyness, clockwork menses, no significant weight gain.

Cons:

Tiredness, moodiness.

Worked brilliantly for acne for 8 years from age 20-26. My mother had acne well into her forties, so I knew that if I stopped, acne would came back. It did. Using it for acne and contraceptive now at age 31.

Pros:

have been on this drug for close to 5 years. completely cleared up my acne, regular menses, no more oily face, no more menstrual cramps. life has never been more wonderful.

Cons:

no real cons. I have been having migraine since young, so i do not associate migraine with this pill. one or two spots occasionally which goes away quickly without scarring.

I have had porcelain clear skin all my life. Somehow, when I hit 25, i started to get really bad cyst acne.I was previously on doxycycline, erythromycin, bactrium before I upgraded to Diane 35. i stopped Diane for 9 months since last Jun, as we were planning for a baby. acne came back. face is an oil slick. am back on erythromycin. hoping for the best now... Highly Recommend for those who know your acne is a HORMONAL acne.

Pros:

Contraceptive, lighter and predictable periods, clear glowing skin, larger breasts

Cons:

It takes a long time to clear up skin - 4-6 months. Mood swings, increased appetite.

This worked wonders for my skin in the past. I took it for a year and then switched to Ortho Tri Cyclen and then stopped to have a baby. I have stopped breastfeeding and I have started taking it again. I love that it's a contraceptive as well as an acne treatment. Once my skin has cleared up I intend to switch to either Yaz or Jasmin which also contains an anti-androgen.

Pros:

acne is gone..

Cons:

READ THIS!!!! i have been on this pill for about 3 years, started when i got married. the acne was gone within months and i did not have any side effects on it. It all switched when i dropped the pill and started planning a family.

IT'S A NIGHTMARE. when you go off the pill - you symptoms (acne in this case) will come back multiplied by 10 and will last for years (if you have been on the pill long enough) i am still having the hormone waves come back with severe hair growth and acne. i have not been on the pill for 2 years now and acne was never a problem for me before the pill. please please stay away from it and if you don't - get ready for the side effects after... if you need to know more - write to me kate_kozelkova@[link removed]

Pros:

Clear skin!

Cons:

Mood swings, headaches, sore eyes, dry skin, wrinkles.

For the first 3 months I had mood swings, sore eyes and headaches, but after my body adjusted it was worth it! I am so happy with the results. I have pretty bad wrinkles around my eyes now from the dryness of my skin, but nothing botox or a good wrinkle cream won't fix. Make sure you buy a really good eye cream before starting the tablets, I wish I did! I totally recommend you give it a try, and stick out the side effects, because they can get better in some cases, like mine.

Pros:

great skin, bigger rounder breasts, cheap (well at least in brazil)

Cons:

hard to keep the weight off

i noticed a dramatic change in my skin after just 1 month of taking diane. completely clear now..in the first 2 months i suffered pretty bad mood swings & depression but now after 4 months i actually seem more emotionally stable... i think my sex drive as decreased a little bit but i still enjoy. I ave gained about 3 or 4 kilos. the side effects did not hit me hard but i would like to come off it. but reading the stories about break outs after stopping im afraid to stop...

gained a lot of weight. had no effect on my acne. moodiness

There was actually no effect on my acne but I gain a lot of weight. I constantly worried about the amount of weight i was gaining. I am still taking it but I'm planning to switch because I am horrified about my weight.
