Thanks for the video gf! Your skin is glowing and you're stunning! I've been on 50mg for 3 weeks and I think I'm going to slowly start increasing up to the 100mg I was prescribed. Thanks a lot!

Thank you! You’re so nice 🥰 I definitely appreciate my clear skin given all the years of struggle that I went through. I bet once you move up to 100mg and give it 2/3 months, you’ll see a major difference! Just be consistent with it 😊

Thanks for sharing your experience with us friend 😊

Thank you for your vid! I am a similar situation as you with my hormonal acne on my chin and my cheeks. It started to get really bad right before Covid quarantine... once I went to the dermatologist, they had me go on Doxyclycline for 2 months and then start Spironolactone (100 mg). The Doxy keeps the redness down, but the Spiro keeps my hormonal acne down. Hopefully, in 3 months it'll get better and better :)

Thank you for this video! I was just prescribed spiro yesterday and was really nervous to be on a medication. My acne isn’t that bad right now but still weighs on my confidence- I was scared to be on it but this video calmed me down hopefully it works like it did for you! Your skin looks amazing

your skin looks really great, I'm so happy for you :) I'm currently thinking about getting on Spiro but I'm not sure yet about the side effects and the whole long term thing, so if I would take it, I hope I can get off of it at some point and not having the acne return... anyways, hope you're still happy with your skin, have a lovely day! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes the long-term thing isn’t the best option but I think for me it took several months for it to first kick in and then for it to actually have my skin calm down. Of course I still get spots here and there especially because it’s hormonal. My skin has gotten a lot better and it’s still a lot better and now I just have spironolactone as a back up, so when my skin is starting to break out in a spot or two then I take it maybe just twice or so a month to be an extra layer of protection.

I’m on the day 3 of spiro. Can’t wait to see results!

Hello! I'm just starting my spiro journey now and I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience. I am not a fan of being on pills as well but knowing that you take it every other day and it still works gives me peace of mind. I am really nervous but I hope it goes well. I don't want to go on Accutane because of all the horrible side effects I heard about and this seems like the safer option. Just curious but did you have any irregular periods? Btw You're great :)!

Hi I am about to start Spiro. I am worried about the libido lowering side effects of Spiro. Did you notice a dip in your libido after you started taking Spiro?

Hi! So I started Spiro on Jan 21 and it is Feb 17 and my skin doesn't look better, actually worse I think. I only started getting acne in November and first I thought it was maskne but then I talked to my derm and she said it looks hormonal. I also got prescribed a topical tretonoin to use alongside. I am assuming my skin acting up is the purge from the topical ointment! Fingers crossed, hoping to see results at the 3 months mark

I actually haven’t been monitoring my potassium. My dermatologist didn’t mention anything about diet. I eat those foods all the time and it wasn’t a problem. I just try to eat healthy but I know everyone is different!

are you still taking spironolactone? or did you stop taking it? In case you stopped, could I know if you have had acne breakouts again? I've heard that most girls who take spironolactone get acne again when they stop taking the pills. That is why I am afraid to start treatment, because it doesn't make sense to take so many pills and then have acne again :(

It is something that technically has to just always be taken but I noticed my skin was doing so much better that I started taking it less and less to the point where I basically stopped. And I have course still get spots here and there but honestly it’s so much better now. If anything I get a few days of bad acne right before my period, not every month, but some months. Everyone is different but for me I really do think that when stopping the pills my skin did stay really good. Better than anything else I’ve done.

Aymara Treviño Sanchez a lot of times it takes around 3 months to see results but if it’s really bothering you, you can always ask your dermatologist. I have 100mg and that works for me. Plus I believe that is still considered to be a low dose.

Aymara Treviño Sanchez if you’re already taking 75 mg I don’t think that increasing it to 100 mg will cause any new side effects. Taking medicine is always a bit scary, however, my dermatologist said that 100 mg is still considered a low dose and this medication isn’t as intense as many others. Accutane is definitely a scarier one. Either way, I’d tell your concerns to your dermatologist. I hope it works out for you :)
