Spironolactone
Apostrophe
Spironolactone is a prescription for acne, often used to treat hormonal acne for women. It is an anti-androgen that works by reducing the effects of testosterone, thereby reducing oil production and breakouts.https://assets.apostrophe.com/img/products/apostrophe-oral-meds.png$1616In stockApostrophehttps://assets.apostrophe.com/img/avatar.png4.385298
I loved Apostrophe because it was the easiest process to talk to my doctor, explain my issues, and get the prescription I needed to address them. Moreover, it was fast, and affordable.skin ReviewSpironolactone5HannahI could tell the Dr actually looked at my photos and read my response. Frankly it's just as good as showing up at a derm office in person.skin ReviewSpironolactone5JamieWhat an easy and affordable way to receive treatment! My care was not overlooked by convenience. I am beyond happy to have found Apostrophe!skin ReviewSpironolactone5IngridI have been using this medication for 2 weeks already and so far I feel well, I take it with food all the time and enough water so doesn't hurt my stomach.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17315179225AnonymousI've starting using this in beginning of September, since then my face has seriously cleared up. I live in Florida and with the stress of back to back hurricanes and the stress of the massive clean up from the storms I predicted my face was going to break out; this stuff stopped that from happening. May have had one bump pop up, but it went away overnight. I feel beyond confident in my appearance. If I could give it more stars I would.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17270215225AnonymousI just started less than three weeks ago and the first week there was not much improvement but I did notice I wasnt getting any new pimples but then my period hit and had a small breakout, but its been a week and no more breakout and my old acne seems to be reduced Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17213191214AnonymousNo major side effects noted, and have already seen a reduction in the number of cystic acne I have gotten.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17209735215AnonymousI am so pleased with Apostrophe, theyre kind and responsive. The products work really well!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17169127225AnonymousI am a little unsure about this so far, but I am still holding out. I have used it for almost 2 full months and have had mixed reviews. Some days my skin is looking much better and others it feels like it's not so hopefully the longer I take it the better it will get. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17157895224AnonymousI had really bad acne when I was younger and even went on Accutane. That helped and my skin really cleared up in my 20s, but when I hit my 30s, I started getting really painful cystic acne on my neck and jawline. I went online to see if Accutane was still prescribed and found a bunch of Redditors talking about Spironolactone. When I saw I could get it online without waiting months for a derm appointment, I figured there wasn't any harm in trying it. I'm so glad I did. A couple months into treatment and not a single cyst. I still get the occasional pimple, but none of those huge, painful ones. I personally have had no side effects, so I can't speak to those. I also sometimes forget to take my meds and that hasn't affected my results at all. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17151847225AnonymousI've had no side affects to this medication so far.

Hopefully will start to see improvement with continued use!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17094859213AnonymousI have only been taking this prescription for about a month now and so far so good. My skin is still far from perfect and I still have a long way to go, however it has not gotten worse since I have starting taking it, and for the most part I would say its gotten better with less acne, still acne, but not as bad as it was. Hopefully it will continue to get better!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17090539225AnonymousMy experience has been good so far. I take this in the morning when I wake up. I have not experienced negative side effects. I have not seen much change in my skin, though. I think I just need more time!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17086219214AnonymousMy skin appears to be more even as a result of some peeling. It has not caused any irritation other than a small amount of peeling which was to be expected. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17083627225AnonymousI started using spironlactone about 3 weeks ago. Though I have been seeing less break outs, I think I was expecting my skin to be a little farther along.

My breakouts are finally healing before any new ones pop up. I'm hoping this is my holy grail! Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17071531225AnonymousApostrophe has made my skincare journey SO easy and for that I'm grateful. Spironolactone also works very well for me, however, it does impact my sex drive which is a little bit of a bummer. I'm trying to get the dosage right where I can have clear cheeks/chin but also still feel like I want to have sex.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone17070667224AnonymousSo far it seems to be working well. I have being trying to consistently take this every night after drinking plenty of water and a full stomach. I definitely am purging a little. I am still breaking out and my skin is drying out quickly. Have spoken to others and apparently this is common at first. I hope in the next couple of months my skin will clear. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16985959224AnonymousI've been taking this for about 2 weeks now daily? I can't tell if it's working because I did have a crazy skin flare up the other week. It seems to be disappearing faster than I thought and now that I'm on my period, it seems that my hormonal acne is more regulated? Not completely sure yet. But I do get some side effects when taking this on an empty stomach.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16978183224AnonymousI take this at night, when I took during the day I did notice diuretic effects more. Still getting some minor breakouts but the bigger cystic has seemed to slow down. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16974727214AnonymousSpironolactone has worked wonderfully for me!!

Next period after starting, I had fewer than half as many pimples, and they began clearing up very quickly.
There are no negative side effects that I have noticed. It's easy to incorporate into my nighttime medication routine.

No major side effects at this point and loving the way my skin feels!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16898695225AnonymousI did not have severe cystic hormonal acne that I get around my period. The acne was persistent, but after taking this medication for about 2-3 weeks I saw huge changes. However, I felt it did worsen the PMS symptoms I experience but not to the point I would not continue taking the medication.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16890919225AnonymousI've been taking this for maybe 3 weeks and so far I've probably seen a 50% improvement in my skin, which is still super great, just not as fast as I thought. Also, I'm still getting some new inflammation/bumps from impacted whiteheads, but it's definitely a huge improvement from before. Overall, a great drug for overall improvement and definitely works better than any serums or lotions I've tried over the years.

I was prescribed for this medication before which I'm so glad to find out is the same from other company that used to ship my prescription and I find a better price here with Apostrophe. I thank personally Doctor Blake for listening to my needs.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16727659225AnonymousI've been taking this for a few weeks now and my skin has changed dramatically. Went from having at least 2 or 3 active breakouts at a time (sometimes more, especially while PMSing) to NONE. Also my skin just looks so much healthier even where I didn't used to get breakouts. I can tell my pores are much much clearer and my skin is way less oily! I really hope it continues to work because so far the results are amazing.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16715563225AnonymousI've been on Spironolactone for years and Apostrophe made it easy to continue my course of treatment. This is the first time I've been told to take one pill in the morning and two at night, and I think that timing makes it even more effective. Very satisfied! Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16705195215AnonymousI have dealt with acne my entire life. Im 30 years old and was still dealing with acne. Birth control helped it but only when I was on it.

I have not experienced any side effects from this medication however I feel my dose may not be high enough because I have not seen much of a change in my skin either Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16670599224AnonymousI noticed a change in oil production on my face and in my hair within a week or so of taking it. I usually am a greaseball at the end of the day and my hair gets oily so fast, I have to wash it every other day, but since taking spironolactone I've noticed a huge decrease and my pores have been looking much better. I also had way fewer breakouts, and instead of a new zit everyday, I've only had one or two within the last month. I can't wait to see how I do after 3 months. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16668007225AnonymousI am giving 4 stars because I have only been on this for 3 weeks along with a topical tretinoin, Spironolactone and clindamycin and oral Doxycycline, so I am unsure which of these is the root of my resolutions. I started with a face full of cystic painful acne that had progressively been getting worse and worse for months. Red spots are left after and nothing seemed to help. Less than 3 weeks ago I started this regimen and my consistent breakouts have stopped. I got one pimple during my period that didn't turn into the huge cyst, it stayed small. I can tell my redness is slightly diminishing but not as much as i am hoping for, yet! I'm hopeful after my 3 months of being on this regimen I will notice big changes. I was giving directions to take 50 mg or a week then up it to 100 mg; however, I get very dizzy and light headed when I try for the 100 mg so for now I am sticking with what my body is allowing. I was told to drink plenty of water while taking this, which is already something i do but I've upped it a bit more. Going to the bathroom every 30 minutes isn't fun but It may be worth it if my face continues to improve. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16668007224AnonymousI don't have any side effects with this medicine. I have been on it for about three weeks. My skin is starting to clear but still have some cystic acne on my chin. I am hopeful that this will continue to help clear my cystic acne.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16667143225AnonymousI'd tried a number of other treatments for my hormonal acne, and nothing was helping (some were even making it worse). I had been reading online that this was one of the only treatments I hadn't tried, and I am so glad the provider agreed this was worth a trial. My skin has visibly improved, and I have gotten compliments on the change. I feel more confident and am so glad to have some relief and less painful acne. I was having a new breakout almost daily, and am having one rarely for the last couple of weeks. My skin isn't *perfect* right now, but it is really night and day from what I was experiencing. I'm so grateful for Apostrophe and getting treatment that works for me. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16663687225AnonymousAlready a week after starting I felt mild changes which it was great!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16663687225AnonymousI spent two years struggling with hormonal acne all over my neck. I tried adding/subtracting different foods from my diet, more water, different supplements, and every cleanser, exfoliant (physical and chemical), mask, and serum I could find. All of these changes did result in my skin looking pretty good - except for the angry, recurrent hormonal neck breakouts, which persisted no matter what. At the end of my rope, I finally decided to seek out spironolactone. At long last, relief. You have no idea how much room in my brain this has freed up, no longer obsessed with my worsening acne. I don't dread fresh horrors in the mirror every morning - just smooth sailing. I write this review for anyone in a similar situation as I was - it's worth a try. I would have saved so much money if I did this sooner.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16661095225AnonymousNo side effects negative that I can tell- and no new cystic acne.

I have less acne, my pimples arent as big, my face doesnt hurt anymore. I love the results so far and I look forward to what I will see at the end of my treatment. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16624807223AnonymousThis stuff works amazing! So far my deep cyst like zits haven't showed up in over 3 weeks. I wake up every morning anticipating a blemish my my face and I'm pleasantly surprised ever day! I gave it a 4 star rating just because of the side effect of being soooo tired. The last couple of days my energy seems to be coming back, so maybe it just takes some time for my body to adjust, but the first few weeks I was really tired. Time will tell still on wether this will continue to work and if my energy goes up. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16620487234AnonymousEasy process, at tentative to my concerns and needs.

They say it takes three months to see improvement in your skin. I have hormonal acne and decided enough was enough and tried Spiro. It has been less than a month and the oil on my face has lessened by so much and I had maybe two very small pimples in the chin area during my period. Like normal pimples that go away quickly and not those deep cystic like ones we all know about! The reduction in oil helps so much. I cant wait to see what the next couple months bring if my skin is already clearing about a month in! Highly recommend trying out Spiro. I tried so many OTC creams and washes. Nothing has come close to the results I see with Spiro. You may pee a lot when you first start taking the medication, but it subsides quickly.

I get breakouts along my jawline and chin whenever I get hormonal fluctuations (i.e. always around my period and when I'm in long-haul flights). Although I've only been on it for 3 weeks, I was able to observe my skin before, during and after my period to see that I have no new zits! I'm pretty happy with the results and haven't experienced any side effects. I get nauseous easily so I took my derm's recommendation to take my dosage before bed every night and haven't experienced any issues. Definitely recommend!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16540135235AnonymousI love my results so far, but I don't know if it's from the Spironolactone or the Tretinoin.

Now I can focus on healing my scars instead of dealing with new breakouts. Thanks Apostrophe!! Ill get my dream skin yet!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16458091235AnonymousI don't have break outs anymore. I wrote down this sentence in unseen tears. Since about two years ago, my skin has become a stranger with a temper tantrum. I don't know when and why and how a myriad of red dots continuously break out on my chin, but it became a constant source of anxiety and a huge drain of my time every day. Since I've been on spiro, I saved at least twenty minutes a day that were used to spend on concealer, salicylic acid, and more concealer. I had no bad side effects, no migraines, no need to use the bathroom every hour, except for that my period has been on for ten days. I used to have terrible period cramp as well, but this time although the period is incredibly heavy, I feel nothing, so I'm not terribly alarmed. I'm going to keep using and see if I would get more used to it.

Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16427851225AnonymousIt has been working for me! It does make you have to pee ALOT so you have to stay hydrated or there is a little sense of dizziness.

Im happy about it. Thankyou. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16425259225AnonymousWords can't even explain how happy I am with this medication.

The first time I took it, I definitely wasn't taking enough because I didn't see results after 5 months. Now only being 1 month in, I can see a huge improvement in my skin. Although I am still getting pimples on my chin I can tell it is my skin trying to get rid of all the gunk below the surface. Fingers crossed for continued improvement! Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16400203224AnonymousTitle says it all. I'm in my late 30s and have struggled with cystic acne my entire life. I tried every topical treatment under the sun, and nothing really worked. Antibiotics worked alright, but gave me chronic yeast infections and are really not good to take long term. But since I started on the spiro, I haven't had a single new cyst. I'm so relieved I could cry. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16389835225AnonymousMy skin has completely changed! So grateful for this and to see where it goes.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16388971225Anonymousi think this stuff is the key!!! it's a holy grail. i will definitely be getting another shipment.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16378603225AnonymousI have noticeably clearer skin, still a few breakouts though.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16376875224Anonymousif your acne is caused by excess testosterone production this is a godsend.. I had cystic acne on both sides around my jawline and it has cleared up ever since I started spiro. You do have to drink a lot of water when on this medication or else you will be constipated. I have noticed my pmdd symptoms have been much better as well but that may be the diuretic effect that helped pre menstrual bloating. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16366507225AnonymousIve noticed a difference in my acne but i am still breaking out. It has only been 3 weeks on the pillsSpironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16359559224AnonymousI have used this before and it does make you break out a little at first for me but then my skin is so nice:)Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16356103225AnonymousI've had hormonal under the skin acne for a while. Being able to just take a pill daily to help my skin clear up ha been incredible. I noticed results within a week. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16352647215AnonymousBest thing for acne ever.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16346599225AnonymousThe only thing that worked on my acne before was anitbiotics, so I was super excited to try something geared towards hormonal acne. I must say, the dosage was a bit high for me and I did have some side-effects (dizziness and fatigue especially), but the Apostrophe team was quick to get back to me and told me to decrease my dose. After that, it's been a really smooth ride with spiro. I haven't had a painful, cystic breakout since starting this medication and I'm super excited to see what my skin looks like in a few months!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16343143214AnonymousSo happy with how my skin has been looking. Between the internal pills and the cream it's never looked better!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16337959225AnonymousSo far my chin is acne free! Im so happy.
I did notice one day I took a nap and when I woke up I was a bit light headed but it hasnt happened again. Hopefully when my menstrual cycle approaches I will still have clear skin! Thank you Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16337095225AnonymousLove the branding o this company. It's helping a little bit, but I may need something stronger. No side effects so that has been great. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16334503223Anonymous Ive only been taking for a few weeks, and I feel like I found my holy grail skincare routine at the same time that I started taking the pills. My skin is much clearer but Im not sure what to contribute it to, my routine or the meds (seems too soon for the meds to have taken effect). However I have had zero side effects from the spironolactone so I will continue taking it for nowSpironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16331911214AnonymousI'm not having any side effects or problems, but I'm still experiencing hormonal acne under my chin and jawline. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16330183213AnonymousI am definitely noticing a difference in my skin. Smooth to the touch and much less break out even when I eat more sugars which usually breaks me out pretty bad.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16329319225AnonymousI've been taking Spiro for years. I recently switched to Apostrophe instead of my local derm and my skin is still doing well on this medication. I still get a few pimples every month especially around my period but my skin is mostly clear. I get cystic acne MUCH less. Mostly smaller pimples. The one downside to this medication is you will pee a lot more than usual when taking this drug. I hope with topicals I can eventually go off this oral due to side effects. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16323271224AnonymousThe medicine has helped with clearing my face. Its also make my face not feeling that oily. Also the side effects are more bearable than the previous medicine I was on.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16322407225AnonymousI think this product has really helped regulate my hormonal acne. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16318087225AnonymousI have been really happy with the results over the past 3 weeks that have come from using Spironolactone. I have seen a significant decrease in my acne, and even dark spots. The pimples that I have gotten have been few, and also non cystic. Previously I was having trouble with cystic acne and I really think that this medication has helped.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16316359225AnonymousThis is the first time that an acne treatment has ever worked.

Excited to continue with Apostrophe!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16312039225AnonymousI was a bit nervous to try a pill to treat my acne due to some of the side effects I've heard, but I haven't experienced anything three weeks in! I take it at night before I go to sleep. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16308583225AnonymousSo far I feel that the spironolactone is working. My skin isn't as oily and some of my more recent breakouts are smaller. Since I'm only a few weeks in I'm staying patient with my results.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16302535224AnonymousI still have a lot of acne on my problem areas. I have noticed it is a different type of acne. I'm hoping this is progress, but not sure. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16298215223AnonymousI have had minimal / no side effects and it seems to work really well for me. I already see a big difference! Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16293031225AnonymousThis product works. It is cleansing. I can actually feel the medicine working through my pores.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16290439225AnonymousI was on accutane about a year ago, and my pesky hormonal acne started to come back when summer hit. I immediately decided I should get a prescription as my former derm had told me I should take oral spironolactone and use a topical retinol if I ever saw any cystic acne occur post accutane. Since I moved to a new city during the pandemic, I was no longer able to see my former derm and I was struggling to figure out where to go. After looking at multiple online prescription sites, I landed on Apostrophe. The service has been wonderful and the price is pretty unbeatable considering I did not have to use insurance and didn't need to go in for any formal office visit. My medication has been great so far and I can already tell my skin is clearing up. I have had no side effects outside of my skin drying up, which I needed since my glands tend to go overboard due to hormonal problems. Overall, Apostrophe has been a lifesaver for my skin and I could not be more grateful!

Spironolactone, its definitely working. Its not even three months yet but I noticed the difference on my skin. I am so happy to waking up in the morning without that greasy look on my face. For the first time, I don't have to use Clean and Clear's oil absorbing sheets for my face, yay!!! I am so glad I found out Apostrophe, my face saver!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16263655225AnonymousI'm using this medication with a Doxycycline antibiotic and Clindamycin cream. So far, I'm loving this medication! I can't tell which medication is helping clear up my acne more, since they're all working together. It takes about 2 weeks to notice any real effects. First I noticed that it prevented new pimples from forming, before the current ones faded away. Now I'm waiting for the acne scars to fade away as well.
I haven't had any side effects with this medication so far.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16253287215Anonymousit's working to some extent but I still feel like I break out a little bitSpironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16245511213AnonymousI was expecting some kind of side effects from the medication. However, it really didnt do much to me on that aspect. It is working extremely well for my acne. I am seeing less and less breakouts. Way less hormonal cystic acne. The active spots i already had have gone down or away. I see maybe one new spot a week.I used to receive one everyday. They say it takes three months to fully work and I dont doubt that I will be acne free by then. Thank you so much apostrophe for making this easy to connect with a dermatologist. Very affordable as well.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16244647225AnonymousGuys, it works. My skin is getting better day by day. I'm an adult woman in my late 20s. I've been fighting mild/moderate acne my whole life. My acne is hormonal and birth control pills were the only thing that seemed to help with my acne until now. I decided to stop my birth control pills last year and my skin got so much worse. But then I found Apostrophe and started taking Spironolactone and it's working great so far. Even my boobies are bigger (btw tbh I love this side effect haha). Ladies, if you feel like nothing is working, you should definitely try Apostrophe. Customer Service is also great, fast shipment and delivery and fair price. Thank you, Apostrophe. I'm so glad I found you.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16240327225AnonymousHavent sent any changes yet, but I am still hopefulSpironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16238599223AnonymousI've been taking my Spironolactone 100mg for 3 weeks now. I am treating adult, hormonal, cystic acne. My face has not only cleared what I had when I started using the product but it has also stopped any further breakouts. I am, for the first time in years, able to wash my face and feel "smooth" and no pain. I could not be happier with the results thus far of this medication.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16238599225AnonymousI have been using this almost 3 weeks now. First week I started at half dose and now take 1 pill/day in the evenings. I take in the evenings because I wanted to avoid daytime dizziness. I do sometimes feel dizzy though (actually, more during the day than in the evening... so maybe I need to change the schedule haha) but otherwise haven't had any other noticeable side effects.

I have not have any side effects.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16211815225AnonymousI had so much hormonal acne and nothing was helping it, especially since I have PCOS. I was also struggling with my period lasting over 3 months, and I'm happy to say my skin is clear and my period has finally stopped and is now just a monthly hassle like normal!!!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16210087225AnonymousIt's only been 3 weeks so I can't tell how effective the medicine is yet. I do like it so far.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16209223223Anonymousthe pills themselves smell a little funny, but have a slightly minty flavor to them. I love that they send stickers to put on your bottle, I enjoy seeing them.
I've been taking this for a little over a month now, I havent had any serious breakouts, or any large pimples. My skin isnt completely clear yet, but the difference is night and day.

Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16166023225AnonymousFirst time using spironolactone. I went into it knowing that it wouldn't be an overnight cure but once it started working it was THE cure. After about a month on it I am starting to see significant changes! My skin isn't 100% yet, but simply seeing any change for the better is really motivating. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16161703225AnonymousAfter taking it for a couple of weeks, my skin is now clear, and I'm really hoping it stays that way! I'll have to see longer term results before I feel confident saying that this is what did it, but I'm optimistic. I haven't had any negative side effects yet, and I also haven't changed anything else in my skin routine aside from making a deliberate effort to pick at my skin less.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16161703224AnonymousI've started using Apostrophe spironolactone after being on it for years. The effects seem to be identical to the spironolactone I've taken in the past, so I am very happy with this easier and cheaper way of getting medication.

I had a small headache the first few day but that was it!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16141867214AnonymousI have been on the oral medication for about three weeks now and I am beginning to see a difference!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16139275224AnonymousMy skin is just as bad as it was when I started and it's been almost a month. When I contacted Apostrophe they said to give it 3 months. I've seen dermatologists in the past and there is no reason it should take that long. That's ridiculous. I would not recommend this product. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16139275222AnonymousI have struggled with very oily skin my whole life, which is now causing problems with acne now that I'm an adult.

I had a question regarding a missed dose and thankfully my question was clearly answered with the drug fact brochure provided by the team. I liked the organization and layout of this much more than the typical drug fact sheet. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16128907254AnonymousI made a total skincare change, so I'm not clear what part this rx has played. I don't have any new breakouts, but my face is fairly red.

My skin has cleared up tremendously. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16107307215AnonymousI could start seeing a difference after 2 weeks but I was having insomnia & a restless body. They dont tell you these things as a side effect but it turns out this is due to raising potassium levels. Ive had to stop & get my body to normal levels by taking magnesium.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16098667213AnonymousIt has been nearly a month since I began taking Spiro and my skin looks great. My skin was dry at first, but with proper water intake, it's much better. I noticed I feel lightheaded on days when I forget to take it at my usual time, but that's my fault and not the medication. Other than mild lightheadedness, I haven't felt symptoms. I will continue to use this medication and see its improvements.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16093483225AnonymousI had done my research on Spironolactone prior to asking my Dr. I cannot say that I regret using this product. It has caused my face to start clearing immediately. I have yet to experience any of the side effects that were mentioned. However everyone is different. I do not know why I waited so long to use Apostrophe. Thank you very much!! One happy customer...Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16093483225AnonymousStill waiting to see if the spironolactone works. My skin hasnt gotten any worse, but still not better.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16085707224AnonymousSo it's hard to give a full review since it's only been 2ish weeks. So far my acne isn't really any better yet, but maybe just not as many flair ups?
I've had some crazy effects since taking the full dose so I cut the dose in half. A few things being dizziness after workouts, extremely thirsty, my period has been 13 days late, my boobs hurt, haaa. The pharmacist wasn't much help when I messaged saying this is happening. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16081387222AnonymousNo changes to the hormonal, cystic acne along cheeks at all in the weeks I've been taking it. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16077067221AnonymousIve been using this for two weeks and my skin is still purging and getting worse I dont know what to do I need a different course of action.

Otherwise, the side effects are minimal.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16071883224AnonymousI've noticed fewer breakouts in areas of concern after three weeks on. I haven't experienced any dizziness but had some nausea initially; however, I have a sensitive stomach and have since adjusted. I'd like to see how I do for a few more weeks before giving five stars but all is well so far!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16070155224AnonymousThe title says it all! My diet is extremely controlled because I am a competitive runner, so it can only be linked to one thing: the spiro. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16070155222AnonymousI haven't been on the medication long, but so far I'm seeing a reduction in deep cystic acne, redness has improved and the texture of my skin as well.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16064971214AnonymousI am in my late 20s and unfortunately still suffered from hormonal acne. It seemed nothing was helping my oily skin until I got prescribed this. I now can wear makeup and have it last all day without having to worry about being an oily mess. It has also stopped my breakouts not only around my face but also my back. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16051147225AnonymousI've been using Spironolactone for 3 years and, when there was nothing that worked in the past, I can now participate in all the fun skin care that everyone else seems to be able to do without having crazy breakouts! This is the highlight for me. It took about 3-4 months for me to notice a huge change, but after a while, I just stopped breaking out altogether. I am so happy to have found Apostrophe to fill my prescription again, as I lost health insurance and needed something accessible to get the prescription filled. I especially know this works because I had 6 months with no prescription and started breaking out again. I have no side effects besides peeing more often! And drink extra water to make up for it.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16051147225AnonymousI have been using the medication for 4 weeks and have not seen any improvement yet but I am hopeful.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16045963214AnonymousSince it is the first month, I have not noticed a huge difference in my skin. I will say that I have been very tired. I usually run and workout regularly but it has been hard to have the energy for that lately. A friend of mine had these issues but she said that they even out as you get used to the medicine. I am going to stick to it because I heard the best results happen at 3 months.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16045963213AnonymousI have seen drastic improvement, but I'm afraid for when I'm off of this medication, will the pimples and everything come back?Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16044235224AnonymousWorks well, just takes a while to see results Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16042507214AnonymousSo far (almost a month in) I haven't experienced any negative side effects of Spironolactone. I have noticed a significant reduction in my oil production. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16041643225AnonymousI have only been using taking this medication for a couple of weeks and I definitely am breaking out less. I take it every day at the same time. I can't wait for a few months from now to see the true improvement of my hormonal acne!!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16041643225AnonymousWorking good so far big differenceSpironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16035595225AnonymousI have been taking Spironolactone for a couple of months, but I have developed an allergy. My skin gets itchy and I get huge bumps.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16035595222AnonymousThis has been the only medication that has noticeably improved my skin. It's been about a month and my skin has become less oily and acne prone to the point where I'm starting to see healing around the consistent problem areas of my cheeks. I'm going to continue with taking a 50mg pill a day as you're supposed to see major improvements after 2 months. If you've tried benzoyl peroxide, minocycline, birth control like I have with little to no improvement, I'd definitely ask your derm about spironolactone. I usually take a pill after lunch because if i take it first thing in the morning without food, sometimes I'll feel a little nauseous. 100% worth it, I only wish there was a way to wean off of it once my skin has cleared up - I've tried spiro on several occasions, only stopping once I switched health care providers, and the effects of it would wear off after 2 months, so I think you have to continuously take it each day for best results.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16034731225AnonymousStill experiencing some acne but i just started. Excited to see what will happen.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16033867224AnonymousI just started taking this about 2 weeks ago, and I'm about to start my period in 2 days. I have still experienced a few pimples leading up to my period, so I think I need more time. One thing I noticed, and I'm not sure if this is related, but I was really anxious and emotional for no real reason earlier this week. I rarely get moody when I PMS, so I don't know if the spiro had anything to do with that. I also experienced brown spotting, which I don't usually have prior to my period. One thing is for certain, hormones are shifting around... TBD if it helps with my hormonal breakouts!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16033867223AnonymousNo side effects or anything.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16031275225AnonymousI've been taking this medication for about 4 weeks now, and I have yet to see any significant results. It's supposed to help reduce my hormonal acne on my chin, and while the bumps haven't been as painful, they are still present and don't seem to be slowing down. I'm hopeful that in the next few weeks I'll finally see some improvement!
P.S. - They are not joking when they say you need to stay hydrated. My water intake has increased significantly since I started this medication, and I feel thirsty more often than not nowadays.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16030411222AnonymousHaving taken this for 3 weeks now Ive noticed an extreme decrease in the oiliness of my skin! I take this with birth control (implant) so it really helped to control my hormones. The only issue I have with it is that it messes up your period cycle and Ive been getting a lot of spotting. For my skin though it has done a lot!! This paired with my topical has cleared my face significantly! Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16030411224AnonymousGiving it 3 stars due to irregular period, I may need to lower the dose but otherwise no major side effects and my skin seems to be clearing up, time will tell. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16025227233AnonymousThree weeks in and my acne is actually starting to clear up. It'd going to be a long process (don't we all wish for an overnight miracle cure), but I'm on the right track.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16021771225AnonymousI have PCOS and have suffered from coarse facial and body hair for years. I recently started noticing male-pattern baldness around my temples and knew this was a hormonal problem, as I was tested for high testosterone.
I started noticing results within days of taking the spironolactone, way sooner than I thought I would. Within a week I was only having to shave my face every other day rather than once or twice a day, and then it dropped to every three days. I'm still having to shave but it keeps coming back slower and slower every time. My hairline has stopped receding and is slowly growing back. It's only been three weeks and I'm already so happy with the results.
I have had some side effects but they have been very minor. The only one that bothers me at all is breast tenderness. I had some hot flashes the first week but they went away quickly. Sometimes I'm a little nauseous or headachy, but only if I don't drink enough water. Since this is a diuretic, you need to stay on top of your water consumption and try to drink as much as you can every day. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16019179225AnonymousAll of my acne is on my jawline and cheeks - definitely hormonal and sometimes 1-3 cysts that turn into boulders under the skin and linger for months on end...only to swell up again. I saw a dermatologist in-person that thought it "wasn't that bad" and didn't prescribe me anything, topical or otherwise. I guess it's heart-warming (we always think it's worse than it is) at the same time I knew my skin could be better. I was interested in trying spiro before birth control, just because it's easier to get a hold of, cheaper (I'm uninsured), and potentially fewer side effects.
And so far, so good! I did 4 days of half a tablet per my Apostrophe derm's recommendations and with no side effects, I went to a full 100mg tablet. I was worried about lightheadedness or nausea, but I haven't had any of that. Admittedly I do take it at nighttime to avoid any side effects interrupting my day and that means I do get up in the middle of the night to use the toilet. It's not a big deal to me and honestly, this makes you pee all the time, all day. Taking it in the morning wouldn't change that.
As far as results - not sure. I'm only 3 weeks in and while I'm heading into my pre-cycle week, I've had a few minor whiteheads on my jaw, but no cysts. It's hard to say if it's a lucky month or the spiro is already working (it can take 2-3 months to see full effect). Either way I'd say it's got no side effects, it's reasonably priced for 3 mos/90 tablets, and it's a better long-term option than birth control (for me, I need to see a gyno to get the right hormones I need and seeing a specialist like that is way out of my budget right now). I am noticing a lot of tenderness in my chest region prior to my cycle, which is unusual for me, but nothing intolerable.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone16016587225AnonymousFinally, some help for my hormonal acne. My skin's not perfect yet, but those nasty cystic bumps that could appear overnight and last for weeks, are not happening anymore. So happy I tried it.

Excited to see what happens in the next couple of months.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15995851225AnonymousNo great impact either way at this point but I heard it can take a few months. I have not had a regular flare up from my cycle this month (yet?) so I am optimistic.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15991531224AnonymousWithin just a few days of taking this regularly, my skin was starting to clear up. I've been battling hormonal acne on my face and back for the past few years - it was getting increasingly worse as I got older and when I came off of the birth control pill, it was to the point that it was painful. Nothing helped wrangle it - not Proactiv, not Differin, nothing.
I still seem to get smaller pimples likely from these stupid bacterial filled face diapers we are forced to wear, but the more painful, under the skin breakouts have subsided. My forehead which was covered in little bumps is also cleared up.

I am really anxious to see the results in months to come. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15983755224AnonymousI haven't been on it for that long, but already I think it is starting to make my face produce less oil.

Haven't had any side affects so far. I just take my one pill and go about my day, nearly forgetting that I'm even taking acne medication! So far I've noticed a decrease in oil production, breakouts, and the healing time. I'm also using natural skincare, taking my meds, increasing my water, and natural eating.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15974251224AnonymousI have PCOS and adult acne has been one of the worst symptoms for me because it's on the surface so you can't hide it. I had been asked if I was using drugs more than once because of the severity of my cystic acne and a picking disorder. I have tried everything OTC and prescription creams and retinoids and this was my last option before accutane which I've avoided due to the risks. Spironolactone is a miracle in a pill! My face clears up pretty quickly and stays clear! Even if I forget to wash my make up off before bed which usually meant I suffered the consequences for several weeks! Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15973387225AnonymousI enjoyed the low-hassle process of getting the prescription. However, I have been taking it for 3 weeks now and have not seen a change. I will continue to take until the prescription runs out and reassess. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15969067222AnonymousExactly what I needed to calm down my cystic acne without birth control. It makes me sleep and urinate a lot though.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15967339225AnonymousI've previously used this medication before I lost health insurance and knew it worked well for my skin, however I wasn't able to get a refill so the effects of the med didn't last long. Now that I found Apostrophe I am excited to restart this medication for a longer use and actually get the desired end results. I have not had any issues with the medication, besides the nausea which is my own fault for not eating a meal before taking the pill. Besides my own mistake and the constant urge to pee I have had minimal break outs happen and less oiliness on my skin. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15967339224AnonymousMy acne ebbs and flows with my hormones. I was on my period last week so I had a break out right when I started the Spiro, it is clearing up now, but this happens without the spiro sometimes after my period. I think I will need to wait a few more weeks to see.

Every time I run out, I begin to notice the difference in my skin and hair. This is an absolutely great product for me, and with Apostrophe, I don't have to worry about not being able to get in to see my doctor to get my prescription refilled. Extremely affordable, so easy--thank you for creating such a great program!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15960427225AnonymousI have been taking this pill for about two weeks. The acne on my chin is definitely still there, but the number of cystic zits is probably 75% reduced.
I notice dizziness when standing after sitting a long time and slightly increased need to urinate (nothing life-interrupting though!). All in all, not too worried about side effects and excited to see results after longer usage.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15956107224AnonymousI have noticed my current acne is starting to subside, but I still have had about 5-8 blemishes show up in the last 2 weeks - a little bit less than usual but still a lot. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15954379223AnonymousI really think this has been clearing up my skin! My cystic acne seems to be slowly going away. It also looks to be bringing some deeper impurities to the surface and my face overall is becoming more even. I'm about three weeks in so looking forward to see where this is after my first 90 days. My only complaint is that the pill smells absolutely horrible but it's a small price to pay.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15951787224AnonymousI've only been on my medication for 3 weeks but my adult hormonal acne has gone down so much! It's nuts! The right side of my face has been really stubborn but it's clearing up day by day. My left side is almost all clear. I had one or two zits pop up on my jaw line and neck since I started treatment but nothing crazy and I know that's a part of the process. Excited to see where I'm at in 3 months and I'm very grateful to have found Spironolactone and Apostrophe. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15948331225AnonymousThree weeks in and no hormonal breakout from my time of month.

My skin is extremely oily with large pores and frequent breakouts. After trying accutane, laser acne treatments and tons of washes and topicals, I can say that nothing has ever given me results like these. My skin is purging so I have some acne coming out but I think once that cycle is over it will be all clear. The oil is dramatically reduced. I keep blotting papers on hand but I haven't had to blot nor have I noticed the usual buildup around my nose. I can't wait to see the results continue!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15942283225AnonymousDoing great, but could up my dosage. I used to be on 100 mg a day with zero side effects. Currently taking 50 mg
Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15942283224AnonymousAfter life long acne struggles I'm on week 3 of daily Spironolactone and so far I could not be more pleased. The ordering process was a breeze with no hidden nonsense and quick shipping. Besides that, I've had no noticeable side effects and my skin looks the best it has since high school.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15937099215Anonymousresults arent immediate but its good!Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15937099215AnonymousHad been on low-dose birth control (Yaz) for about 6 months but was having some hair loss side effects and the lower dose meant annoying sensitivity to missing my pill-taking window even by a few hours.
If I missed taking my pill by more than 4 hours, even just once in a pack, I would have break out bleeding for days. So, I wanted to find an alternative to balancing the hormones without affecting my cycle quite so much.
So far, I haven't had any adverse mental side effects from the hormonal adjustment. Yet I hypothesize that's likely because I transitioned from the BCP so was already a bit adjusted to changing my hormones. Only noticeable side effect thus is frequent peeing, but that's expected.
My acne seems to have settled down more consistently than on Yaz. I'm combining this with small amounts of .05% Trentinoid every other day and so far so good.
Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15936235215AnonymousAs a woman in my 30s with hormonal acne, I've tried basically every single topical product, antibiotic, etc to clear up my skin. A few years ago, the NP at my dermatologist's office recommended Spironolactone off-label to treat my acne. It worked amazingly and my skin was pretty flawless during the time I took it. Eventually my insurance changed and I could no longer see that dermatologist, so I let my script lapse and hoped that my zitty days were over.
Unfortunately, my acne did come back eventually once I quit Spiro, although not as bad as I had previously had it. Still, I found myself with more scars and feeling ashamed of my face. I longed to get back on Spiro but didn't want to deal with the hassle of finding another doctor, going there, going to the pharmacy, etc etc. Apostrophe popped up one day recently in my Facebook stream and specifically advertised that prescriptions for Spiro were available.
I went to the website, filled out the forms, took some pics of my acne-ridden face, and within a day I had a brand new script for Spiro as well as tretinoin/niacinamide, which is also great. Both prescriptions were shipped to my door within a week. It was SO MUCH EASIER than what I had to go through before to get my prescription and enjoy living a life of clear skin.
I'm now on my third week of treatment and my oily skin is balancing out, and I've only had a couple of breakouts since beginning the Spiro and Tretinoin regimen. If you're a lady in your late 20s to 50s, and you're still struggling with acne, Spironolactone may be the solution to your skin problems, as it addresses the hormonal component which is causing the excess sebum and acne to begin with.
The only side effects I've ever experienced are a flatter tummy (due to diuretic effect), bigger boobs (win!), having to pee a bit more in the beginning, and my period is harder to predict (kind of a great thing though, since I've suffered with PMDD for years and it usually disrupts my life significantly, but with Spiro I don't have any PMDD symptoms, so I just get a surprise period. I'll take that over PMDD any day!) Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15935371225AnonymousSo far I really like this perscription. I have had many friends rave about how this solved their acne issues. Only draw back is there is a weird taste but that lasts about 2 seconds so not really an issue.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15930187225AnonymousThis medication does work for me, but I do experience a bit of light headedness upon waking in the morning. This is a common side effect. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15929323224AnonymousI was not pleased with this medication, it seem to dry my skin out terribly. I drank a ton of water while taking it and my skin was still severely dried out. I have now stopped taking it. Was just a little stronger than I think I needed for my adult acne. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15927595212AnonymousI have been taking spironolactone for 2 weeks now. The pill is easy to swallow and it has an after taste of mint. I am also using a topical ointment so I am not sure which product is causing which side effects. My skin is very dry, has been peeling this week. I am drinking more water due to the dryness in my body. Due to dryness my skin is also very itchy. But I trust the process. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15926731214AnonymousThe change in my skin is subtle, but much more than I expected in such a short period of time! The overall complexion is more even and my scarring has faded significantly.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15925867225AnonymousI've used spironlactone in the past, and its seriously a game changer for me. My acne is very much hormonal, and I have high androgens which includes oily skin, a bit more little hairs on my chin than would be considered normal, acne, and prone to being aggressive. When I go on birth control, it also helps, but I hate the side effects from birth control and the fact that I am putting artificial hormones into my body. Spironlactone doesn't have the negative side effects of B.C and instead really focuses on reducing the androgens, which is the main source of my problems. I don't mind the diuretic aspect, if anything, it keeps extra water weight and bloating down. I avoid taking it at night anyways and take it when i wake up in the morning so I'm not getting up to go to the bathroom during the night. It really helps me feel more calm and "feminine" if that makes sense ... I'm less aggressive when taking it and it also makes me more submissive in a way. The only slight side effect I don't like is that it can make me spot a bit and have a slightly abnormal cycle - but its not enough of a big deal for me compared to the positive benefits.
My final word - if your acne is hormonal based/androgen induced - PLEASE try spironlactone! Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15924139215AnonymousSince I have been taking this medication I have experienced no new breakouts. It has also helped decrease my skins oiliness. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15921547215AnonymousThis is my second time on spironolactone for hormonal acne. The first time I was prescribed the medication through another dermatologist during a time when I had medical insurance. During that time the medication worked great, no side effects and great results. This time around with Apostrophe I still have high hopes for the medication. However I am experiencing a bit of a rash/itching under my neck and am not quite sure if its due to a reaction from the medicine or something else. After doing research I did find out that the manufactures for the spiro that it I took from my former derm and the manufacture for Apostrophe's spiro is different. So that may have a slight impact. Or it may be that I now take probiotics regularly and maybe its having an impact. I can say that when I spread out the time between taking spiro (morning) and when taking probiotic (now before bed) I don't notice rashes/itching. But I am two weeks shy of my first month back on the meds so I will keep tracking results. Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15920683224AnonymousI'm not giving this 5 stars just yet, as I've only used it for just under a month, but so far, so good!

Apostrophe is awesome for many reasons.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15913771215AnonymousI used to wake up with an extremely oily face. I would wash it, only for it to get greasy again throughout the day. It was getting really bad before I was prescribed spironolactone.
I've been using it for a few weeks now, and over the past week I've noticed that my skin really isn't oily at any time anymore. I've had some very minor purging over the course of two weeks, but I would only get 3 small bumps at most and they would disappear fast. I do notice, though, that I have a lot more blackheads around the creases of my nose. I'm not sure if that is part of the purge, and it isn't obvious unless you look up close, but it is not a pleasant sight. I am using this in combination with tretinoin so it's hard to tell which product is contributing to this.
I took off a star because the pills smell and taste absolutely terrible. Mine smell like weed and taste like weed smells. They also taint my breath so I have to take this before brushing my teeth in the morning. I have a friend taking spiro as well, and she says her pills smell/taste like rotten fish... so I guess that's just the nature of the medicine. Lol.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15912043224AnonymousI've been on this for two weeks and haven't seen much of a difference. I feel extreme nausea and dizziness.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15912043222AnonymousI started using spironolactone about 3 weeks ago. I was told it could take months to see the difference but I did notice my skin calmed down and new breakouts stopped within the first week. Overall Im really happy with it, after suffering with hormonal acne for over a decade. It does seem to be giving me results. The only drawback Ive experienced is that it seems to make me EXTREMELY drowsy. I take the pill at night with dinner so that I am less drowsy during the day, but I still wake up in a fog and have to fight sleepiness most of the day. I notice that after another meal in the morning, I am almost normal energy level most days, but if I tried taking it in the morning or during the day, it makes me drowsy enough that Id be concerned with driving and other responsibilities.

Still trying to be patient.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15894763222AnonymousSpironolactone has helped my skin immensely. I've had hormonal acne for over a decade now. I went on birth control and that helped some but did not completely clear my skin. I decided to stop taking birth control after years of being on it and my skin went crazy. I went onto Apostrophe's website because I couldn't see a dermatologist due to COVID. It was an easy process, I sent in a few photos and in a day or two, received my prescription for 100mg spironolactone. I put in an order and got it in the mail 2-3 days later.
When I initially started, my skin purged and I had the worst breakout of my life. I'm now 3 weeks in and although my skin has been healing from that initial breakout, it's calmed down a lot. It's been a couple days since I've had any new breakouts. My skin is less oily. I haven't experienced negative side effects. I am excited to see the results of this medication in the next couple weeks. I gave this review 4 stars because of my initial purge, but would still recommend this to anyone experiencing hormonal acne.Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15893035224AnonymousI just started using this medication a couple of weeks ago but havent noticed any improvement so far.

No side effects except clear skin!!! Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15888715225AnonymousI've tried so many different over the counter products for months at a time before that I've lost count. Nothing helped and normally dried out my skin and the moisturizers wouldn't help.
This ACTUALLY worked. I used as prescribed along with a low dose oral antibiotic and I have not had a breakout in months! Barely even a single blemish for the first time in over a decade of trying to combat acne.
Reading other reviews and recommendations it was shown that it might take up to 12 weeks to notice a difference. I saw it making progress in less than 3 weeks. I also didn't experience any side effects as others talked about.
I highly recommend anyone who has struggled with over the counter or drug store acne medication to try this. It was actually more affordable than many of the other kits you can find in stores and online. I'm a happy patient! Spironolactone ReviewSpironolactone15888715225AnonymousI have to say that my skin does appear clearer, but it's not perfect. Still needs much improvement. Needless to say, I felt horrible the first five days I was taking this. I had a headache nearly every day or one developed by the end of the day and I was extremely tired with not much of an appetite. After the first week I was feeling much better.

I've starting using this in beginning of September, since then my face has seriously cleared up. I live in Florida and with the stress of back to back hurricanes and the stress of the massive clean up from the storms I predicted my face was going to break out; this stuff stopped that from happening. May have had one bump pop up, but it went away overnight. I feel beyond confident in my appearance. If I could give it more stars I would.

I am a little unsure about this so far, but I am still holding out. I have used it for almost 2 full months and have had mixed reviews. Some days my skin is looking much better and others it feels like it's not so hopefully the longer I take it the better it will get.

I had really bad acne when I was younger and even went on Accutane. That helped and my skin really cleared up in my 20s, but when I hit my 30s, I started getting really painful cystic acne on my neck and jawline. I went online to see if Accutane was still prescribed and found a bunch of Redditors talking about Spironolactone. When I saw I could get it online without waiting months for a derm appointment, I figured there wasn't any harm in trying it. I'm so glad I did. A couple months into treatment and not a single cyst. I still get the occasional pimple, but none of those huge, painful ones. I personally have had no side effects, so I can't speak to those. I also sometimes forget to take my meds and that hasn't affected my results at all.

I have only been taking this prescription for about a month now and so far so good. My skin is still far from perfect and I still have a long way to go, however it has not gotten worse since I have starting taking it, and for the most part I would say its gotten better with less acne, still acne, but not as bad as it was. Hopefully it will continue to get better!
