Pros:-Fast
-Easy to remember
-Clears acne if patient!
Cons:-Large pills, scary to take at first
Bottom Line:I have been taking 5 fish oil pills each day for about a week and my skin is just glowing! I have not had any new breakouts and my current pimples are shrinking fast. I'm 15, so hormones aren't on my side at the moment, but my skin hasnt looked better since I was 9! Compared to Proactiv and other chemical treatments, the fish oil pills are very cheap, and In my opinion, work even better. Try them!

Pros:Cleared skin
Cons:none
Bottom Line:I am 26 years old. I have had pimples forever!!!!!! and I've tried EVERYTHING plus I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide so I started taking fish oil. I'm not going to say my skin is PERFECT but it has cleared up sooooooooo much within the first week of usage. Just try it! It has other great benefits too so it can't hurt.

Pros:Works pretty well
Cons:You need to take lots
Bottom Line:I was moving and had a huge bottle of fish oils pills. I decided to take 8-10 of them a day just to get rid of them since I didn't want to pack them and have them melt in the hot summer. They really did help clear my face when nothing else was working. However,when I just take the dosage of 1-4 pills that the bottle says to take, it doesn't work. So, I guess I really need a lot of anti-inflammatory! It's expensive to take that many, but at least they are a healthy supplement. Try taking a double or triple dosage if the smaller dosage isn't working for you.

Pros:easy to remember (just 2 in the morning one at night)
no messy topical stuff that takes forever
Cons:none
Bottom Line:i read the reviews on acne.org and decided to give fish oil a shot after i stopped doing BP cuz of all the side effects: dry flaky skin, premature wrinkles (i'm 21), angry mom because of bleached expensive bed sheets :( and after a week i have not had ONE single new pimple. because of this i feel much more confident about my skin and can finally go to bed with just brushing my teeth and not have to worry about washing my face, applying bp, applying moisturizer etc. i'm using the fish oil from kirkland (bought at costco which says one per day, but u actually need to take 2-3 per day).

Pros:Cleared up my skin, easy to take, good for the body
Cons:big pills?
Bottom Line:I have used all the doctor prescriptions for acne over the years.. just to name a few: minomycin, differin gel, antibiotics, etc! None of them worked in the long run.. they made my skin very sensitive to the sunlight! But the fish oil.. wow.. did wonders for my skin! Cleared up my skin .. I would say in 1 month? Pretty happy with the results! Should give it a try! Great stuff :)

Pros:Reduces redness and inflammation. Evens skin tone and makes it soft.
Cons:None.
Bottom Line:All I can say is WOW. I have taken Carlson's Lab Very Finest Fish Oil for a month and my skin has improved significantly. I started taking 1 teaspoon every other day for seven days and slowly increased to two teaspoons a day (breakfast and dinner time). I didn't want to shock my system or whatver. Anyway, I totally suggest adding an oil-free moisturizer 20-30 minutes after BP, keep hydrated with water, and take fish oil! It truly works :)

Pros:Fights acne, promotes heart help, and boosts the metabolism.
Cons:None
Bottom Line:Literally cleared my face in three days. Nothing else even came close to working for me, but this did the trick. It only works if you acne is because of hormones. Just hoping it works long term...

Pros:first thing that ever worked for me! lots of added health benefits, no side effects, can buy it over the counter, cheaper and safer than prescription treatments
Cons:none
Bottom Line:i'm so happy i want to tell everyone about this! omega-3 fish oil is the single best thing i've ever tried, hands down. my coworker suggested i try fish oil for my breakouts, so i bought a bottle of "odorless" softgels from trader joes. i've been taking 2400mg (2 pills) a day for about 1 month. in that time i've only gotten 2 small pimples and one medium sized one right before my period, which came and went within about 4 days. my skin is the clearest it's ever been since before puberty. and i'm 33 yrs old. thank frickin god something finally works. and it's natural. and good for you. and you can buy it at the health food store. i feel like i should give my coworker a serious present for turning me on to fish oil. i use 5% glycolic acid from reviva labs nightly to help fade old scars, tea tree face wash and super gentle spf 30 moisturizer from devita. with hardly any new breakouts and the old ones healing and fading, i feel like a totally new person. a person with good skin!
