I tried Dianette a few years back and I found it helped alot with the hair and also my oily skin. I felt the best I had ever felt for a long time....I did combine it with the GI Diet and exercise though, so that may have made a big difference. Because I felt so good, I stopped taking it just to see if it was actually the dianette working or just that my body had adjusted itself. A couple of years on my facial hair seems to be creeping in again together with the oily skin, so I think I'll be paying a visit to my Dr's Office to see if I can get a prescription for it again. Dr's like to take regular bloods when your on it...something to do with making sure your liver stays healthy. Good luck!
