Helped my oily cystic acne skin a LOT already and only been using for 2 months. Already feel less like a greasy chip pan. However during pill free week I’ve been getting horrendous uterine aching and cramping, feels so sore. Hoping it’ll settle

Really good experience. No negative side effects, easy to take, enjoying having more control over my periods and slightly less body hair.

If you are suffering with acne this is the BEST pill you can use to get rid of it. Dianette is the only pill that contains Cyproterone, an anti-androgen which prevents overproduction of sebum. This means this pill reduces the amount of oil/sebum your skin produces and therefore banishes acne! My severe acne disappeared in 4 months with this pill only, after trying everything. I highly highly recommend this pill. Also please note, if you ask for this pill from your doctor/gp they may try and give you Yasmin or Lucette. They will tell you it’s the same thing just cheaper; this is not true. They do not have the active ingredient that reduces oil production! Stand your ground and make sure you get Dianette.
