My daugter, as i mentioned is some prevoius post, has some acne. we went to dermatologist few times, but she has not got the patience to follow the treatment regulary, and she wants to take it the easy way... However, she heard from a friend that contraceptice pills, called Cilest helped her clean her face.... and they really did. Kido has face like a baby, though she never had big problems with skin (abd neither has my daughter). She is also planning starting with some contraceptive pill, so with Cilest would be solving two problems.
Did anyone had any experience with cilest? Is cilest really good for acne? Will she have any other negative side effects?

I was on Cilest one year.
It had some good things and some bad. Good was less painful periods, and most of all lighter periods. I had also less emotional breakouts, like crying before the period (which I still do Crying or Very sad

), but negative was anger...i was angry all the time- i some times caught myself being awful to people close to me- horrible! In my case, if I would stay on Cilest, I should go next thing on prozac Laughing

About acne.... i never had them many, mostly they appeared before periods or in some stressful situations- but then it was a breakout (in one day your face totally chages in to one red pimple Confused

, but after 4 or 5 day the situation calms down. so, Cilest helped me control this breakouts- i didn't have them, at least not at level before i was taking Cilest, but as soon as I stoped yaking Cilest, all my previous problems, which were supposed to be healed with Cilest, came back.
Anyway, I am not on pills anymore, cos I am not in stady realtionship and I have all those problems again- heavy and painful periods, which bothers me most and those emotional cryouts Rolling Eyes

and about acne breakouts... it is not as serious at it was, so Cilest helped me at least in this. Thought, I think it has something to do with my aga too...
OK. Cilest has some good and some bad things- she must try it firts and then see if suits her. I do not recommend it just for sake of getting rid off acne- there are many other product that would have the same or even better effect with smaller negative side effects.
