The only study I've ever seen on this subject is here:

Metformin more effective than Dianette in treating hirsutism:

I have never been on Dianette, but still ended up needing laser to remove the facial hair. It's expensive but worth it. I tried spiro and lowered my hormones to normal level with exercise and diet and I still couldn't stop that aspect without laser.

Hope it helps.
