| Pros | Mood stability |
|---|---|
| Cons | Broke out in cystic acne |
| Bottom line | I started fish oil for mostly health benefits but also to assist with my bad skin. First time I was on it hardcore I broke out in cystic acne for the first time in my life. Stopped taking it and it slowly went back to the normal small pustular acne I always had. Tried it again as I hadn't made the connection about the fish oil and cystic acne and yet again broke out in bad cystic acne which takes so much longer to clear and get better. Didn't work for me. Definitely think it makes it worse. |

| Pros | Improves Mood |
|---|---|
| Cons | Made Acne Worse =( |
| Bottom line | Fish Oil is said to be good for your skin, your heart and a lot of other things. I took it being 18 and having acne since about 6th grade, and because diabetes and heart problems run in my family. But I couldn't take the bad effects of it on my skin. It gave me severe cystic acne on my face chest and back. But it did boost my moods! |

| Pros | Minimal health risks Felt better |
|---|---|
| Cons | Didn't do anything |
| Bottom line | I took 3 pills a day almost every day, and it didn't seem to do anything for my acne. It did nothing with my blackheads, and I couldn't really tell if it helped with my occasional inflammatory. I get a big inflamed almost every time before I get my period, and there was really no change in the time it took for the "period pimple" to heal, nor did it prevent any period pimples. I didn't notice a change in my oil production, either. Might work for some, but if blackheads are your main problem like for me, don't expect any changes. |

| Pros | reduces pimples |
|---|---|
| Cons | fish burps constipation |
| Bottom line | After taking fish oil supplements regularly for six months now, I can say I believe it has helped control my acne. I started taking them around the same time I started using the acne.org benzoyl peroxide treatment, which helped my skin a lot, so I wasn't sure if the fish oil was aiding in any way. Now when I sometimes miss taking my fish oil for a day or two, a few pimples appear. Then, as soon as I resume taking fish oil, they go away. I have alternated with the brands since I began taking fish oil and I haven't noticed if one is better than the other. Right now I am taking the Nature Made brand. The only major drawback for fish oil for me is that I believe it has made my bowel movements irregular. I never had a problem with constipation until I started taking fish oil. But, I haven't stopped taking it longer than a day or two to see if fish oil really is the problem. Instead, I resulted to taking fiber supplements to help with this. |

| Pros | -Didn't make acne worse |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Did nothing for redness -Didn't really help acne at all |
| Bottom line | I've been taking fish oils on daily basis for nearly 3 years and I can tell you they won't be the miracle cure for your acne, I went on them for my eczema as well as hearing about the benefits for acne and honestly they didn't help either so really don't bother taking for them for help with acne, I just take them for health reasons now |

| Pros | Probably good for you |
|---|---|
| Cons | Broke me out in cystic acne(NOT NORMAL) |
| Bottom line | After a few days of taking fish oil I broke out on my chin in FOUR cystic acne bumps! I mean really FOUR. Right next to each other. It was painful, ugly, and I am still recovering. I'm sure this works for some people, but not me. |

| Pros | -Healthy glow to skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Made me breakout |
| Bottom line | I am 26 years old and I read great reviews on here and other places that Fish Oil is the secret to have perfect skin. I would get about 2 to 3 pimples a month that were controllable and easy to conceal. After a few days of taking Fish Oil, I broke out like I never have before and in odd places. But I decided to stick with it because I thought that it was my skin purging and they say to give it three weeks. About two weeks into my new regiment, I developed a large cystic pimple on my cheek. I have not had one of those in three years. I decided to halt taking Fish Oil because of this. I tried to give it three weeks but there was no way that I was going to risk getting another cystic pimple. They say that if you have oily skin to begin with it can adverse effects. This might work on some but not all. |
