Cilest and spots!!

[laurenm82]

Hi everyone, Could anyone give me their views on if you have been on cilest pill and did it improve your skin or make itr worse??

I came off diannette in april, and went on to brevinor. During this time every single month of taking it I have been getting really large spots, which are more like lumps under the skin. My skin also feels very oily.

This morning I have been given cilest from the family planning, im a bit worried about taking it incase it makes my "eruptions"!! even worse. any one else had this pill that has bad skin before??

Thanks in advance xx

Hey, were you on dianette for PCOS. Anyway you could take agnus castus, from your health food store, its a well known and tried out hormone balancing herb and should help with your acne.

Hi, I have been on cilest for nearly 18 months I have had a few spots but nothing major. Overall it worked for me well - have just come off it this month to have a break. Problem with the pill is everyone rescts differently. Did help me period pain which was an added bonus. Good luck!

vitamin a, zinc and a probiotic supplement could halp too.

hiya. iv been on cilest for over a year now. my skin was quite bad beforehand and when i initially started taking cilest it flared up a little. however, within a few weeks, this cleared up and now my skin is thousand times better. always clear with hardly any blemishes despite the time of the month. giive it a try. if it doesnt work for u then u can give something else a go x

Hi, lauren! :o)

Before I began taking the pill I had great skin... then when I'd started, I was covered in spots! My GP put me on Dianette and it all cleared up (you know how it works!). I'm now on Cilest, too, and my skin remains fine. I have the odd hormonal spot at that time of the month, but nothing too bad.

Hope this helps. ws x

Thanks for the reply ws, I have decided not to take the cilest and have made an appointment to see my nurse on Monday!

I just dont think the lady at the family planning was actually listening to what I was saying!! lol!!

Im going to try and get the pill yasmine, which I have heard is very good but they are very reluctant to prescribe this because of the NHS costs.. Just wish I could be on dianette, it was the best pill ever for clearing up my skin!!

Thanks for your replys xx

Why are you not on Dianette anymore? You should be allowed it if your skin is still bad.
