    Spironolactone SAVED my skin. I was suffering from horrendous cystic acne (the hormonal kind) and it was covering my face all over: on my forehead, cheeks, and chin. I tried everything to get rid...

    I have been on spironolactone for 2 years and overall it has been a great experience. I'm in my mid-twenties and am a classic victim of hormonal acne--deep, painful cysts were a regular occurrence...

    terrific for my acne rosacea, Available as an inexpensive generic, so very good value for money. If I skip a couple of days, the roseacea comes back with a vengeance. Can't live without it.

    I took spiro for 2-3 years. I really do feel I uglified from it. Some of it was reversible. Some not. I had dry skin, a sunken look, and dry eyes with a heavy, strained feeling behind them. My...

    The ONLY thing that has helped my acne. I never thought that my acne was hormonal- I used to get whiteheads around my mouth and on my chin pretty much at any random time during my cycle. However,...

    I have been on spironolactone for a year now, so I think that I have a pretty good sense of the drug and what it does. This has been nothing short of a miracle for me - I only wish that I had found...

    I was very hesitant and skeptical to go on Spiro, as I think you should be about trying a new drug that you'll be consuming everyday. My gyno prescribed it on a whim in the summer of 15 and it...
