Spirlactone seriously changed my life! I highly recommend doing it! I have very similar skin to yours and I think you’re going to see such benefits. Seriously life changing

[@xcrunnerandjumper]

Carla's blonde hair looks so good!!! Also, keep us updated on the PCOS journey

[@ericacuellar4606]

I have been taking spironolactone for 2 years and it is life changing. I was really nervous about taking anything internally for my hormonal acne but after trying everything I finally tried it. That in combination with epiduo has transformed my skin. I am more confident and happy! Wishing you lots of success on your skin journey. Also so glad to see Carla in another vlog. She is such a vibe. So happy her birthday was a success.

[@GoatedNFL1]

Ive been on spirolactone for over a year, it takes time to work! It can take up to a year to start seeing full effects but you might start noticing a difference 2 to 3 months in. Works slowly but works!

[@katrinacool]

Such a variety vlog- nice job Melissa! Love a good summer salad and you have given me ideas. Happy Birthday Carla! Oh my - the big 30! You'll be happy waiting on the piercing- cartlidge can take months to heal properly. Hugs to Tika and happy summer! 😍❤️😊🥰🦩☀️

[@alyciajohnson5959]

I’m 30 & have been on spironolactone for over 2 years and it has been my miracle🙏🏼 my skin has never been so consistently amazing

[@natasamikic2676]

You and Carla are getting older sooo beautifly!!! Look more elegant and more beautiful the older you two are!!! Happy birthday Carla!

[@lauravelasco9220]

I took Spironolactone for about 2 years, it didn’t cure my acne but it did improve it, the main side effect I noticed was when I stopped taking it after about a month, I grew so much body hair! it took a bout a year for my body hair to adjust back to normal, however since you’ve been doing laser hair removal you might not have this problem. Hope it works out for you!

[@NicoleElaine0208]

Spiro has helped me so much with my PCOS symptoms. I hope it works out for you!! It really changed the game for me

[@shootingstarkassy]

Carla is so adorable 🥰 I love her energy

[@KelliMarissa]

The new piercing looks great! I always love when you show your food ideas!

[@xoamandaGxo]

I tried spironolactone twice and quit both times because it messed with my stomach. I want to try again though & see if it helps if I actually stay on it for longer than a few months. Hopefully it works for you!

[@laoisemckenna8640]

I’ve been on Spironolactone for almost 3 years now and it completely cleared up skin. I also tried so many other medications and nothing worked! I had the exact same, bad break outs here and there and now I get the odd small spot every 2 months. No side effects either!! Definitely give it a try ❤️ xx

[@MelissaMerk]

Ah amazing! I've heard mainly good things. Hoping it works out

[@yayabrazie]

This vlog was so much fun. Happy birthday Carla! 💕

[@SicTransitGloriaMun1]

Totally feel you with the lack of motivation when it's been so gloomy on the west coast. Here's hoping the sun comes out soon!

[@MelissaMerk]

next weekend 🌞

[@CarolineBloomer97]

Spironolactone was great for my skin and also for hair growth! It took at least 3 months to notice a difference

[@MelissaMerk]

Amazing! 🙌🏼

[@hotazchilli]

Your skin is glowing Melissa!

[@Margaret_Hemenway]

Carla is amazing!! Such an amazing friend! LOVE

[@jnc226]

I get hormonal acne as well and I got so fed up so finally tried a recommended face wash and it actually has been helping a ton. Definitely worth a shot! It’s the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Facial Cleanser and I found it on Amazon but I’m sure it’s other places as well.

[@surafadhil2663]

Hi,Melissa I love your vlog so much they give me positive energy, love you😊

[@Limparfaiteangelina]

I feel like your hair looks better now it looks fuller :)

[@brookevanderkooi1396]

I also have PCOS and spironolactone is the only thing that has worked for me. They started me on 50 mg which didn’t completely work but I’m now on 75mg and it’s so much better. I’d say I noticed a difference around 2-3 months. Hopefully it works for you as well :) Also, Hoping I get to run into you at Stampede hahaha

[@dinaaaf]

Not sure if you have access to Apostrophe in Canada but they have topical spironolactone which cleared up my skin after years of trying to get rid of adult acne - they also have the spironolactone pills if you prefer that and it’s all online! Was definitely a game changer for me :)

[@tiniii13]

Happy Birthday Carla 🎉🥂💛

[@xxmlo]

I was given spironolactone 100mg for my pcos cystic acne but they warned against breast tenderness?? So I’m afraid to try them! Weird such a high dose compared to 25mg for first trying, right now I’m on apprilon 40mg which works okay but you have to stay on it otherwise the acne comes back even after 1 week :( Also, for hair extensions, I go to isalon in Yaletown, try them out if you’re in a pinch! I know the feeling of wanting nice, long hair

[@kellyS841]

What spices did you put in the Dijon, avocado oil dressing for the pasta salad? I’d like to make it! Thanks 💕

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Great job on your vlog, Melissa!❤️❤️

[@meowk5812]

I take spironolactone, only thing I noticed was I had to pee more when I first starting taking it. I dont notice that anymore. It definitely works for acne.

[@Alexhaskins]

Can you please share that lentil stew recipe? It looked sooooo good

[@angelamcquillin1111]

Hey, pretty lady.😊 I always love and look forward to your vlogs! Been watching them since you started posting on KZbin lol. Random but I noticed when you showed your workout screenshot, the time was 11:11. Lol I see triple digits ALL the time and 11 is my favorite number. Anyway, sending love and positive energy your way!❤️✨

[@MelissaMerk]

good vibes ✨

[@annar1884]

Why is no one saying “GIRL THEM ABSS” 👏🏼💪🏼😍

[@GoatedNFL1]

Im on spironolactone, it works great but it can take up to a year for full effects. It works slowly!

[@shelbiemarshall8529]

Tretinoin cream is ALL that cleared up my hormonal acne and kept it clear! You should try if this other med does not work.

[@cwanzeck]

not sure if you noticed your note also said 11:11 xx

[@Celestialpapaya]

Taking zinc supplements cured my cystic acne and it’s a bit better for your body long term :)

[@selenaposty]

I’d do some research on seamoss it can help with everything you are going through! And it’s not a medical drug lol 😂 it’s cured my pcos and cystic acne!

[@maliaferrozzo435]

Please share your lentil stew recipe!

[@genie5731]

girl your abs are POPpin'

[@klovatobaby]

Such a lovely video 😉 looove your hair 😊

[@Steffyboo]

Once you stop spironolactone, does your acne come back?

[@stef8517]

spironolactone doesn't address the root cause of your hormonal issues, it only blocks DHEAS and testosterone. once you stop it unfortunately for most people it comes right back sometimes even worse

[@alisonnnicole]

Where do you get your Botox done?

[@TheWrestlingClassic]

This vlog made me hungry

[@DoeRaeMe]

Yum!!! I just wanna make and eat all your food 😋

[@Solitaaaaaaa]

i love your vids alot

[@brijensen4158]

“Except for genitals” “except for geminis?” PLS 😂

[@illestFlavor]

My eyes felt like they were watering when you were cutting that onion.

[@MelissaMerk]

it was a strong onion 😭

[@coraliemarra4235]

For your skin, try cutting off dairy from your diet. It worked wonder for me

[@rowenazheng3018]

The time was 11:11 on the workout screenshot lol

[@iloveryanryley]

How can I have a life like this? No 9-5 job? I am not trying to bring anyone down. I genuinely want change for me. Is youtube your only main stream of income? How to be you?

[@lori-lee]

9:45 I've been on Spironolactone for about a month now and it has been the only thing that has helped with cystic acne (and I've tried ev-er-y-thing). Sounds like you have too, I hope it works for you as well.

[@AudreyVascik]

Me too!!! It’s super cheap with the good rx app and nothing else has helped me!

[@shannonk.5172]

Love your vlogs! Your meals looked so yummy 😋 im excited for you that you get to try the medication for your skin! 🤍 I've always had the exact same issues no matter which supplements, diet etc. I was on doxy for almost two years and my skin was so clear and I noticed how much my confidence improved and just made me happier! Now I'm thinking of going back on it because acne really messes with my mental health 😕 Also happy birthday Carla!! 💕🥳
