Dianette for acne (also posted in Style & Beauty)

Does anyone have experience of how long this takes to actually have an effect on acne? Asking for my daughter who has just started it as a last resort. She can't take roaccutane so that's a hard no. She's tried everything up till now and nothing has worked, although spironolactone worked for a while and then stopped. She's only 19 and it's really getting her down.

DD is 14 and has been taking Dianette and Lymecycline for nearly 12 months. It's worked really well and has helped her confidence loads

It's out!! Been a week and I think there's a small improvement in skin. Going to take regular photos to track so that review in a few weeks has necessary info. Weirdly she had a heavy bleed after removal which I think is odd given she's on dianette ...... 🤔
