Pros:Great for heart.
Cons:Causes severe acne breakout on some people. Watch Out!!
Bottom Line:I'm 35, never had an acne breakout as bad as now in my entire life.. I am really concerned and have contemplated seeing a dermatologist. I am thinking of trying a better brand. But I am really sketptical at this point.. My skin on face has gone from normal to worse not better contrary to other peoples testimonies. I use the Omega 3 --1,000 Mg twin pack from Spring Valley. Sold at Walmart. Manufactured by Robinson Pharma Inc. Santa Ana CA. Be care full with the cheap stuff. I may upgrade to a much better product

Pros:good for your heart
Cons:significant increase in oil production, thus resulting in more acne
Bottom Line:Alright, I have been taking fish oil supplements for about two and a half months. I read so many great reviews and was so excited to try them out. About a week in, I began experiencing huge cystic pimples on my chin. By the way, I don't think I have ever had a "cystic" pimple in my life. I just can't understand what I am doing wrong.

I have been using oil blotting sheets like crazy. It looks so gross. I used to only have an oily t-zone...now I have oil all over my nose, entire forehead, chin, and cheeks. It's absolutely unreal. I'm a biology major, so I'm just completely astounded that fish oil could give you anything but positive benefits! I'm going to quit them and see what happens. I know that there is documented evidence that fish oil is very effective, I just can't understand why it doesn't wok for some people.

Pros:It helps depression, and helps control skin tone and smoothness
Cons:None..Just learn to over look the pill size. Hahahaha.
Bottom Line:This is the only thing that has helped me after accutaine. I have had one big breakout from the weather changing (I think, or slacking on my dosage). I take about 3000mg a day, anything less causes my skin to dry and makes me prone to depression again.

Pros:skin is softer, old acne scars are healing
Cons:none
Bottom Line:Needs to be taken consistently. i have been using proactiv for the past 2 years and i decided it was too harsh on skin (skin was dry). when i stopped i had acne breakout on my chin. i tried going to have glycolic acid peel for 3 months (1 fornightly) and products endorsed by the clinic however i still got severe acne around my chin and cheeks. Decided i had enought of spending money on chemicals peels and blue and red light therapy as it didnt work. i went to the vitamins store am taking the following:

Morning
2 fish oils
1 primrose oil
1 Milk Thistle
2 Vitex
1 Echinecia

Pros:Seems to help me focus better at work.
Cons:Deep deep painful pimples develop.
Bottom Line:Every time I read another article about the stellar benefits related to fish oil, I go back to my bottle and decide to try them again. About a day or 2 later, painful sores begin to develop. I have moderate acne which has been pretty calm lately. The only time I seem to have flare-ups are when I resume taking fish oil capsules. Was taking about 2000 mg/day.

Pros:Cleared skin
skin not as oily
Cons:none
Bottom Line:I have suffered from acne for several years. Nothing seemed to work permanently.
I tried a liver cleanser for 30 days while taking fish oil supplements. My skin cleared within the first couple of weeks and haven't had any reocurrences. I now take fish oil 2 a day in the evening along with a multivitamin and calcium.
