"spironolactone changed my life. i was 32 and had been battling cystic acne since 19, been through 3 dermatologists and every acne product on the market and had completely given up. i was at my annual gyno appointment when, out of the blue, she looked at me and asked me how i felt about my face. i immediately started to cry and told her how helpless and ugly i felt. knowing that i was not interested in having kids, she put me on spironolactone. it took a few months but once it kicked in, it was like someone had given me new skin. i am now 37, still taking 100mg of spiro per day and my face has never looked better. it&#039;s soft and smooth and the redness is gone. it gave me my self esteem back. i only wish i could have found out about it sooner!"
