Spiro cured my acne

I am a 36 year old female and I have had acne since I was 19. I tried almost everything throughout the years including natural remedies and hard core medicine. Finally, without the consent of my dermotologist, I started taking Spiro with miraculous results. I now have been taking it for a year and have not had such clear skin since I was 18. I had horrible, deep and painful cysts as well as black heads and white heads all over my back, chest, arms and face. The worse was the cysts as they were very deep and ussually caused very large angry looking bumps. Now my skin is 100% clear and I use nothing else on my skin and even put lotion on every morning. I have had a full physical this year with great results, have had no side effects at all. The biggest obstacle I have now is that my skin is now in bad shape due to using drying products for the last 16 years, especially the aspirin mask. It seems like my skin is more aged than it really is. I wish there was a product that would tighten really well. However, I am free of acne and that is a miracle as far as I am concerned!

Just wanted to let everyone know.

Re: Spiro cured my acne

thanks for posting your story sounds alot like me I am 21 and started to get acne when I was 19 I had perfect clear skin all through high school and then all of the sudden I started to get bad acne at 19. Right now I am on Yasmin and 100mgs spiro and my skin is clear, my derm wouldn't perscribe it but my GP did because she thought it would help with water retention from birth control pills and my acne. I too have no side effects. If anyone out there is thinking about spiro then do it, its way better than accutane, which didn't work for me.

Re: Spiro cured my acne

1) how long did it take for you to see results?

2) what dose were you on?
