this product saved my skin. i went through a period of intense breakouts (for the first time ever on my cheeks). i started drinking 2 tbl. spoons of this a day (w/ some orange juice to kill the taste) and it cleared up my skin within several weeks. amazing! also good for weightloss in that it slows down the absorbtion of sugars and thus keeps your insulin in check. an overall phenomenal product!!

This is great... It's the best i've tried! My face isn't totally clear, but it's helped a great deal. I've been using it for about a week and a half... I hope in a while it will totally clear my face up!

I am close to forty, have had persistent acne since puberty - and have tried everything. I was using flaxseed in ground up form intermittently for general health when I read the reviews here. THANK YOU EVERYONE because I got the oil, have been using for two weeks, and see a remarkable change. Deep cystic acne is cleared away and skin is glowing and fresh looking. JUST TRY IT even if you have those nasty cystic chin things - it really works (doesnt taste too awful, either, I can do it straight).

At first I was taking them in the capsule form. But that didn't work so well. So I bought flaxseed oil (in oil form) and I drink about one teaspoon a day (from GNC). I mix it with some kind of juice. It doesn't taste that bad. Be consistent. It really works. My skin is beautiful now :)

Try baking soda too. That's awesome and cheap.

I think flaxseed with evening primose oil are wonderful supplements to the regimin, but you have to be consistant with them. Something I have a problem with; however, the taste GAG perhaps I am buying the wrong kind. I think I have the oil from GNC

I just started taking the flax oil two days ago, so i'll let everyone know how it works out for me. I bought the oil which tastes pretty gross, so i mix it into my yogurt. I'm gonna get the ground seeds and that soon.

Flaxseed is amazing. I had been taking it in capsule form (2 1000mg capsules daily) for a long time without ever seeing an improvement in my skin. Recently, however, I read an article that said you'd have to take 14 1000mg capsules to equal the amount of omega-3 fatty acids that is in 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil!!! So I immediately switched to taking it in oil form (1 tbsp. a day in my fruit smoothie) and within a week my skin completely cleared up and is actually "glowing!" It looks so much healthier and even my mom commented on how nice my skin looks. My skin hasn't looked this good since before I hit puberty (almost 13 years ago)! You can buy a bottle of flaxseed oil at any health food store for as little as $6.99, which is a small price to pay for beautiful skin. I'm now even thinking of switching to ground flax seeds, since that is even cheaper and supplies a nice dose of fiber too. I also sprinkle the oil on my salad before adding salad dressing. It has almost no taste. You can't cook with the oil though, it has to remain refrigerated-- high heat destroys it's beneficial properties. But you can cook with the actual flax seeds, which greatly expands how you can use it. Everyone should try it!

I actually put the flaxseed oil on my face every night before bed. I have to say that my acne has cleared 80% in about 2 weeks.

I used to take flax internally every morning and evening but it didn't seem to work. So before throwing the bottle out I had this random idea to put it directly on my face. Now, I actually enjoy looking in the mirror every morning. Something I haven't enjoyed in years.
