Women with acne can be helped by taking Dianette (Diane-35 in some countries). This contains the hormones estrogen and cyproterone, which counteract the male hormone androgen. Over-production of this hormone is the main cause of excessively greasy skin in women, which can then lead to acne. Dianette is very effective for many women, and can be taken for many years. It is also an effective contraceptive, but must be taken regularly if you want to rely on it for this purpose.
