| Pros | ~Reduction in number of pimples ~Skin not so inflamed anymore |
|---|---|
| Cons | ~If you don't take it with food, you burp up a really gross, fishy taste ~The size of the pills are really big |
| Bottom line | I really wish I started taking fish oil supplements a lot sooner! I read a book called The Clear Skin Diet, and the author talked about how taking at least 1000 of omega 3 from fish oil everyday helps reduce inflammation in the body, and therefore reduces acne! It's definitely worth a try, but it definitely takes time to see results. |

| Pros | my skin is almost 100% better confidence!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | sometimes it upsets my stomach, but it's completely worth it. |
| Bottom line | I have had acne since I was about 14 and I'm now 20. I've taken antibiotics, over the counter topical medications, retin-A, and even TWO rounds of accutane. I am taking nature's bounty fish oil pills which has 300 mg of omega 3's in each pill. I started taking them 36 days ago. I started taking one pill a day (i'm 95 pounds) then slowly upped it to two pills a day and then finally the recommended dosage of 3 pills a day which is 900 mg of omega 3s. Ever since I upped my dosage to 900 mg a day I have seen almost complete improvement. I have tried EVERYTHING and I really really suggest that if you have had acne for as long as I have to at least give this a try. I created an account just to write this review! I know how tough the struggle is with acne, hopefully this helps you guys too! |

| Pros | Miracle for my skin. No more cysts, blackheads gone. Not overly oily. Redness is gone |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I've had terrible acne and oily skin for around 4 years Ive tried EVERYTHING then one day I decided I was doing to much and everything I had been doing to my face was so unnatural it couldn't be good. So I stopped using strong face washes retin A and antibiotics and within a week and a half my skin looks 100x better!! I'm now taking 1000 mg tablets of fish oil twice a day 2 at a time along with a natural face wash that includes jojoba and castor oil. |

| Pros | Clears up skin fast No more oily skin Shrinks pore size No more cystic acne Super easy to take Don't have a bad taste or smell |
|---|---|
| Cons | NONE! |
| Bottom line | I can't believe I am barely finding out about this magic little pill! I am 25 years old and have been fighting oily, acne prone skin for the past 10 years. I also got put on thyroid medication which messed up my hormones and gave me really bad cystic acne. Many days it was so bad that I was in tears and didn't want to leave the house. I started taking this 1 month ago after a friend recommended it and within 3 days my skin went from horrible to beautiful! I really recommend this supplement. I take the Spring Valley brand found at Walmart. It is the all natural enteric, regular strength fish oil, 1000 mg. (300 mg of omega 3). Hope this helps others out there like it did for me! |

| Pros | Shiny hair, strong nails, and glowing skin! Reduces acne a LOT!!! It's cheap! |
|---|---|
| Cons | It's a little hard to remember to take them when you first start. |
| Bottom line | I have had acne for 9 years; I tried everything from proactiv to TONS of over the counter acne medications, and natural remedies. I am 19 and my hormones are going nuts causing the most severe breakouts I have hever had and I was beginning to feel really desperate(my face was covered in bumps and itching horribly) so I started doing intense research on acne to find out it's an inside thing, not an outside thing. I truly believe regulating your hormones is the best thing you can do for your acne. I have been using gnc lemon flavored fish oil pills for about two months now along with a 30 min cardiovascular workout everyday and my acne has calmed down so much! I have very sensitive skin, I can't moisturize or wear makeup(20 pimple breakout the next day). My skin has improved so much that I have been washing my face only once a day at night with PLAIN SOAP and my skin only has 3 pimples right now and it's that time of the month! Not only has my acne decreased, but the pimples I get now are less red and inflamed, they are whiteheads and blackheads that come right out without any sore created! My skin doesn't itch anymore, it's glowing and moisturized. I really recommend this, if your conecerned about mercury being in the pills, vitamin C kelates mercury out your body, so grab some OJ or eat an orange daily. =] |

| Pros | Skin all over body feels extremely soft Body acne (back, butt, and inner legs) almost completely gone Blackheads on nose reduced Pores shrank Oil on T area reduced drastically (surprising!) Mood significantly increased |
|---|---|
| Cons | Quite honestly I haven't had any problems with fish oil |
| Bottom line | My results are over a 2 week period of taking fish oil pills. I am so happy with the result and will be taking these supplements for the rest of my life for sure. I have very odd skin, it's dry in places and oily in others, however it seems like these pills have balanced it all out. I mainly have body acne which is so extremely hard to get rid of but this has really helped me. I also cleanse with Spectro Gel which also gently helps to get rid of body acne. Definitely worth a try if you're desperate and are willing to try anything. |

| Pros | good for cardiovascular health |
|---|---|
| Cons | might be bad for acne in men, at least at doses of epa of 1000mg (1g) or higher daily |
| Bottom line | 1g of epa/200 mg dha seemed to make acne worse. found this study showing why high doses of epa (one of the two main fatty acids comprising omega 3 fish oil) may actually exacerbate acne in men. basically, epa lowers platelet aggregation (makes blood less sticky) which is a good thing for avoiding heart attacks, but RAISES testosterone levels as it does so (that's what is meant by the last line about an inverse relationship between testosterone & platelet aggregation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20708391 |

| Pros | Improvement of mood Improvement of acne -- almost gone! Less depression and anxiety |
|---|---|
| Cons | Heartburn |
| Bottom line | For anyone who has not taken fish oil supplements in the past, I recommend starting them up. I have been using Lindberg Ultra Concentrated Fish Oil (625mg EPC / 245mg DHA) for 15 days, and I can already feel a difference in both my acne, and my mood. I have been severely depressed in the past, and I already fee much better than I have felt in months. Fish oil takes time to work, and it's definitely worth the wait! |
