Pros:

Regulates periods, less greasy skin, should bring my skin back to being smooth, weight loss

Cons:

It is so so sooo bad when you come off it.

I was on this pill for 8 years, my skin was clear again and I thought maybe it was because I was 25 and over the pimple stage? I came off the pill, I was fine for 2 weeks and then my face became an oil slick, my face broke out like nothing I have ever seen before and I gained weight. I am back on Diane after 3 months of being off it.. have been back on it for a month now and I am still dealing with revolting skin, it isn't oily any more but it covered in zits.. especially around my chin and I have never gotten them here before... but praying that it will clear up again soon.

Pros:

It totally clears up my acne, bigger breasts, healthy, smooth, flawless skin

Cons:

crazy mood swings, nausea at times, facial hair growth

It really clears up my acne but when had stopped using it my acne returned worse than it was before, greasy horrible breakouts. Regardless of the nausea and facial hair that can be dealt with this product really works for me. Just worried about the long term affects

Pros:

for now far from perfect but much much better than what it was before, regulated period, no cramps, less facial hair, only thing that really works ( tried pretty much everything exept accutane)

Cons:

none really, still have oily skin ( less than before though), break outs sometimes

I have had acne for at least 8 years now ( im 22). I have very oily skin lots of blackheads big pores and of course acne. I was always scared to use diane-35 (espacially after reading all the reviews in here) but about 6 months ago i finally decided to take it after somme really bad break-outs. I really did not have ay bad side effets ( maybe in the first 3 months, some mood swings? but i think it was me more than the pill) It really clearded my skin well (but i still get some occasional breakouts not as bad though, no more big cystic acne like before) I ve tried so many products from natural ones to antiobiotics and i m telling you dont waste your time with that.. if you re really depressed and ace is affecting u re self-esteem TAKE DIANE! it s really not bad!! it helps a lot!!!

Pros:

Acne cleared quick, bigger breasts, loss of weight, regular periods.

Cons:

zero libido, headaches (they just stopped one year later), tiredness..........BUT when I stopped it, got horrible depression, gain weight really fast beause of uncontrolable food cravings.

The problem came actually when I stopped the pill !! I think my body got addict to the hormone. I was diagnosed with PCOS, and at first was hard to get used to Diane, but it was good on three months. I took it for one year and decided to stop it because my acne came back! but during two months I felt strange...depressed, fat, hungry all the time, tired,....so I took it back...but I have the feeling is not good for me. Recommend it ? Yes but only if you know your body well to know its reactions, if you doing sport and eat consciously.

Pros:

None yet...

Cons:

Headaches, Cold and Cough, Unusual looking acne that cannot be squeezed. I know it's because of the Diane, because my acne has never looked like this before. I just finished my first pack, so I'm just waiting for this "miracle pill" to work...

I'm yet to see the benefits that everybody has been talking about, but i just finished my first pack, hopefully it'll get better with subsequent uses. It is kinda expensive though. I have faith in this pill, so I really, really hope it works.......can't wait. If it does clear my skin, I can live with the side effects- I'll be taking it for a while. We'll see...
