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, bigger breast(thank God), cheap plan

Cons:

Slight weight gain, moodiness, depression

I was fortunate to not have acne as a teenager however as an adult I have suffered severely with acne. I have tried everything, from diet, exercise, antibiotics, creams........and I can go on but nothing helped. I've been on Diane 35 for 2 months now and the results are awesome. My skin has cleared up and I get compliments all the time. I definitely recommend this treatment for acne.

Pros:

Clearer skin day by day in two weeks with Acnezine twice a day and Diane 35 once a day.

Cons:

None.

23 yrs old: I have been on it for two weeks. I havent had one white head since I started my combination of Acnezine twice a day and Diane 35 once a day. I used to get a white head everyday on my cheeks and now nothing - no oil either!!! I think the acnezine is the major contributor to the positive results! I love the two together! I think that you might want to try acnezine if you have lost hope (must use the cream part of it too - to see results like mine.) The one thing I will say is... I dont have any white heads but I do see a lot of blackheads-they are so easy to remove I just litely scratch @ my face and they flake right out of the pore. Well hope this helps in any descion making. Kind Regards

Pros:

It's an amazing pill. My acne cleared up in 2 months. All I have now are scars.

Cons:

It's expensive if you don't have health insurance. $40 CAN a month.

I loved this pill. I'm trying Ortho Tricyclen Lo now since it's cheaper and hoping it'll help control my acne. Diane 35 is amazing and I'm thinking that the price is worth it. I'm 18 and my hormones were off the hook before I took it. I was on Alesse before and I had the worst acne imaginable. Okay, it wasn't that bad, but enough to make me feel like crap about myself. Diane 35 is incredible.

Pros:

Cleared my skin beautifully; reduced facial hair; regulated periods.

Cons:

Too many negative side effects to detail!

I was on Diane 35 for 6 years for PCOS. During the first 2 years, I didn't experience any problems whatsoever; however, over the next 4 years, I experienced chronic morning sickness (I wish my doctor at the time had suggested I take it at night to combat this), terrible anxiety, occasional crushing chest pain, shortness of breath, loss of sex drive, and loss of appetite, and that's an abbreviated list. My current physician was shocked when I told him how long I had been taking Diane 35. He claimed that it's meant to be taken for a year or so to clear the skin, and then it should be substituted with another form of birth control to maintain the results. Once I stopped taking Diane 35, all these problems resolved quickly. I now take Ortho Cyclen, which has kept my skin reasonably clear, without the numerous side effects of Diane 35.

Pros:

cleared up skin, then seemed to stop working

Cons:

none

Does anyone know why this would work so well for me for a few years, but now it doesn't seem to do anything? How long does it take to work for skin? (I don't recall from the first time I started) I am very frustrated with my skin and am hoping this will help again....

Pros:

My skin was clear and luminous for 4 months and it didn't affect my moods.

Cons:

MAJOR weight gain...and I know it is harsher on your blood vessels than any of the other pills...and I didn't want to have a stroke at age 31!

I work for a dermatologist and my skin was breaking out terribly...even though I was using a Retin-A product daily. I went on Triphasil in the spring and it messed me up so badly that I never got back on track and I had cystic acne on my chin every day for months. Finally, my boss put me on Diane 35 and my skin cleared up within a day or two! Seriously! But I gained tons of weight despite working out. I have noticed more spider veins on my legs too which is a side effect.
