Eloine completely cleared up the acne I had for 6 years! I would definitely reccomend it, although I will say that when I first started using it I had very intense mood swings but I think that’s normal due to the hormone change.

Loved Maexeni annoyingly however it’s pretty impossible to get in the UK due to medication shortages. Great sex drive, boobs got bigger and didn’t make me depressed like my first pill - what’s not love ahaha (minimal weight gain but may have also been due to uni lifestyle)
