For Acne "I’ve been taking Winlevi since January of this year. I’ve been on it for 6 months, and I can truthfully say I do not get painful cystic acne anymore. I do get a pimple or two right before my cycle, but that’s it. This does dry out your skin, so it’s important to pair with a heavy moisturizer. Other than that, this drug works wonders. I will continue to use."

For Acne "I’ve struggled with hormonal acne since my 20s and have tried so many treatments. I’ve newly entered menopause, and my acne was no longer being well controlled with my go-to topical regime and was getting painful cysts on my chin, etc. Finally, my derm recommended Winlevi, and it works very well! My skin is better than it’s been in years, and I have no adverse effects. If I miss an application, I do get a pimple or two, so it’s important to be consistent and apply it thoroughly. Con is - it is expensive, and the copay is high."

For Acne "Effective, but I'm trying to figure out if it is the cause of diarrhea. My history includes c.Diff caused by clindamycin, so I research antibiotics before taking them. Drugs.com is the only site whose list of Winlevi side effects includes diarrhea, so I'd welcome feedback from anyone with a similar experience. I'm wondering if some food, drink, drug, or vitamin taken in conjunction with Winlevi can cause diarrhea."

For Acne "Been on it for about 2 months now, and my skin is doing so much better. I still get occasional breakouts, but I haven't had more than two at a time, so I'm happy with it."

For Acne "I am 40 years old and have had cystic, hormonal acne on my chin for the past few years. My dermatologist prescribed Winlevi as I did not want to take an oral medication. Within a few days, the cystic acne began to clear up. I have been using Winlevi for one month, and I have had no new breakouts, my chin is completely clear, and I can even see that the pores on my chin are clearing up. My skin hasn't looked this good in years, and I am so grateful for Winlevi."
