| Pros: | happier, more excited, and my skin feels so soft |
| Cons: | none |
| Bottom Line: | well i started taking fish oil like a week ago thinking that it would help my hair grow faster and it did help my hair and my skin, i dont have bad acne, i would just say that they are zits and pimples, i have them on my forhead, chin, and on the side of my lips, now ive tried proactive and avon products but they just made my face adicted to them and when i tried to stop using them myface would tighten up andhurtbadly, so right now i was my face with cetaphil in the shower at night and in the morning and take two softgels in the morning with my breakfast and two softgels at night with my dinner. i use the Nature Made brand cause thats what my mother bought me and she also takes fish oil. well i really hope that if your reading this and have a problem with acne that you at least try taking fish oil, i mean it cant hurt you!!!!!!!! :) |

| Pros: | Works within days. Pimples disappear almost completely. Even texture of skin is transformed. |
| Cons: | none. |
| Bottom Line: | If you have acne problems, fish oil is definitely the way to go. I hate that I figured this out late in life (I'm 28). I started taking fish oil in spring of this year, and my skin has been pretty much pimple free since I started using them. You notice the difference with two to three days. My existing pimples begin to clear up. The texture of my skin was noticeably different; it became smooth and brighter. Sometimes I get a pimple or two during PMS, but it is much easier to treat it with pimple cream. Some people on here are complaining about cost, just go to the vitamin section in Wal-mart. You can get them there for about $8. |

| Pros: | Reduces amount of breakouts significantly, good for body overall. |
| Cons: | Annoying to have to take the pills everyday, the cost adds up over time, I plan to get the oil next as it's most cost efficient in the long run compared to the pills, also I'd prefer to take 1 and 1/2 tsps of oil a day compared to 9 pills a day. |
| Bottom Line: | Sense I started taking fish oil the amount of inflamed acne I get has decreased dramatically. As opposed to maybe 5-10 active pimples at one time I now have 3-4 at most it's normally about 2. I highly suggest others considering trying this go ahead and do so. Also, I take 3000 mgs a day, which I think is very important, on my pill bottle it says each serving provides 12000 mgs of omega 3 but in reality the nutrition label reads that it's only about 720 mgs per serving (2 pills), hence the reason I take 9 pills per day, 3 with breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. which is annoying and the reason why I intend to get the oil. Overall though I have no intention to ever stop taking these and I am really amazed at the reduction of acne I've seen sense incorporating them! |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. :) ) |
