Anonymous, Philly, PA Jul 1st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: No more terribly greasy flaky skin.No new breakouts AT ALL. Skin looks glowing and feels so much smoother. Cons: Pills are expensive-but worth it! Bottom Line: Battling acne (severe) for over 18 years, tried everything. Doctor did cholesterol check and its low, but LDL was very low she said to take fish oil. Besides increasing good cholesterol, that it helps decrease androgen production (contributes to acne). Tried it and within a few days, I am ecstatic about the results! Never ever in my life has my skin looked soooo good! I also wash with Obagi salycylic acid cleanser at night, put on thin layer of proactive bp before bed, and during day(morn, dinner times) wash with tea tree oil soap to keep oilyness down. My skin looks not perfect but about 80% better, for real. Everyone has noticed and said how fresh and healthy it looks.-me! used to have bad skin. I take Max. Strength Triple Omega 3 6 9 from vitamin world 3 times a day (also has flaxseed oil and borage seed oil in it). I tried to take other kinds years ago, but seriously, quality is VERY important with fish oil, cause the other cheaper ones didnt do a thing before. These are the best!

sara, Adelaide, Australia Jun 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I think there are a lot of long term benefits and it seemed that the fish oil helped with mood. Cons: Every time I go through a fish oil phase, I seem to get blind pimples. My skin is usually prone to small hormonal flare ups, but these are bad. Maybe I take too much - around 6 per day to help with depression - but then I stop and my skin clears. Bottom Line: I think fish oil is great if you don't have this problem, I noticed someone else said the same thing (anonymous in australia mentioned deep cystic acne which is the same i think)- it would be great to hear if anyone else has had similar experience, as my naturapath fried says it is not possible for fish oil to cause acne, so I keep trying. I think it is the fish oil though. Usage: sara has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

problemsolvr, Nebraska Jun 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Many health benefits, acne not being one of them Cons: Caused breakeouts when taking large quantities, i.e. 10 pills in a day. Bottom Line: This may work for you but it didn't work for me.

Anonymous, TX Jun 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clear skin..no harmful chemicals on or in the skin Cons: none Bottom Line: I have been battling acne my whole life. I have tried everything and nothing has really worked. I am 37 and still struggling. I have been eating very healthy and exercising and still breaking out heavily. I began the fish oil and was surprised at how well it has cleared up my skin. I have not ever had such good results. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful?

zyzzyvette, Vancouver, Canada Jun 10th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Softer, smoother, hardier skin; shinier and stronger hair and nails Cons: Fishy burps, not a cure-all Bottom Line: Adding this supplement to my routine made my skin way more tolerant to the topicals I use, so I can "abuse" it a lot with SA (2x daily) and ACV (also 2x daily) without irritation, whereas before, using SA 2x daily, no ACV, would often cause my skin to be very irritated. It also added a bit of a healthy glow, and has some nice side effects on your hair, fingernails, and apparently brain function. I wouldn't use it to replace a regimen, but it's a very helpful addition! (I marked myself as very light, though without any treatment, I am moderate/moderately severe. 'Course, that's been awhile now, so. :) ) Recommended: Yes Usage: zyzzyvette has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful?

Anonymous, USA Jun 1st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: No after taste in a one-a-day pill. Cons: None. Bottom Line: I have taken Spring Valley brand fish oil caps for about 2 weeks and my skin is greatly improved. I take one pill per day, in the evening after dinner. The Spring Valley brand eliminates toxins and there is no after taste. I really like the results.

Jason, LA, CA May 25th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Good for you Cons: None Bottom Line: It didn't do anything for my acne. It didn't help with oily skin either. I took two capsules daily for 2 months without any noticeable difference. Fairly harmless to try though so give it a shot. Recommended: Yes Usage: Jason has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Brian, Los Angeles, CA May 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Easy to take, clearer skin within two weeks time, no new breakouts, more energy, has a lot of other positive health effects Cons: Won't help very much if you have a greasy or unhealthy diet, also won't help if you only use that as your way to handle acne. Doesn't work for everyone. Bottom Line: A relative told me about fish oil and how their acne cleared up after using it. I though hey, I'd give it a try. Two weeks into it, I really started noticing my new lack of pimple formation. Granted I still had a few scars from previous zits, I was still very happy about the effects that it gave me. Also, It's good for the heart and a few other things. For the people that it didn't work for, it may be that they are only using fish oil as a treatment for acne (which unfortunately doesn't work) or they have bad luck or bad skin. I'm sorry. It worked for me though! :) Recommended: Yes Usage: Brian has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 20.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

scott, melbourne, australia May 7th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: good for your general wellbeing Cons: does not help at all with acne Bottom Line: this does not work. it has had no effect on my acne whatsoever. i tried it after reading reviews on it here, but unfortunately it has not done any good for me. i noticed that many people are claiming to see great results after just few days of taking it, but i think it is just a coincidence that new pimples haven't formed during that time. i guess what i'm saying is that you can try it for yourself, but you also shouldnt get your hopes up too much, because this is not a miracle cure. good luck, i hope it works for you.

James, San Jose, CA May 6th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clear mind, clear complexion, calming effect Cons: Have to remember to take it Bottom Line: I have tried a few fish oil where I got those fish burps (nasty). The cheap stuff tends to lend itself to that. I have bought Costco fish pills and I think the most honest breakdown review of the best fish pills was at: [link removed] They have agood xtend life reviews versus some other popular products. Don't go to the absolute cheapest. You will be sorry and in the long run, you'll be happier with a good quality fish oil. Recommended: Yes Usage: James has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 17.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
