| Pros | Cheaper supplement, easy to take. Helps with appetite, constapation! - Gone |
|---|---|
| Cons | Acne returns, especially around hairline and nose. Feeling slightly too hot, flushes have returned! Supposedly a milder estrogen? |
| Bottom line | Helped with blood sugar levels and bloating/constipation, therefore beneficial for IBS, even possibly endometriosis, as inflamatory action..still thinking about this one though. Think if you are female 40plus experiencing symptoms of estrogen dominance, stay clear! Not helpful for acne rosacea. Read that lipase supplement maybe beneficial for those suffering with acne rosacea;- However digestive enzymes may help when;-supplementing with EFA's if acne occurs. possibly larger doses of HCI if flaxseed/fish oils cause breakouts? Must say since taking a broad spectrum digestive enzyme, acne etc. has improved... Bottom line: Look after your liver! |

| Pros | Relatively cheap in the grand spectrum of skincare products. Easy to use/consume. And WOW it has a ton of Omega-3's in it! |
|---|---|
| Cons | The taste is pretty gross, even if you mix it with food. |
| Bottom line | I think this is great for people who suffer from hormonal acne since flax seed oil balances your hormone levels. My skin is very bright, even hair and nails have improved. I've been taking 2 TBSP a day: I just drink it from a tablespoon and chase it down with a beverage. When I stopped taking it, the breakouts came back. If you've spent a lot of time and money hunting for the best thing for your acne, this is at least worth a try. The added health benefits are a huge bonus as well. |

| Pros | saw a reduction in acne by taking 2 tbsp per |
|---|---|
| Cons | Flax works better for females than males. Females bodies can more efficiently convert the ALA in flax to EPA and DHA. Males may have better results using fish oil instead. |
| Bottom line | Definitely helped my moderate acne but didn't get me completely clear. |

| Pros | easy to take and you don't have to cake your face in creams or take a bunch of Rx pills |
|---|---|
| Cons | The taste was a little difficult to get used to, but now I don't mind it at all. I got the lemon flavored from Spectrum. |
| Bottom line | It really works. Shocking for me since I'm 21 and have been going to dermatologists since I was 11. I've been prescribed everything from differin gel, retin-A, antibiotics and a Dr. even suggested accutane! I used it for about a week before I went to go get a hair cut and the hairdresser and I started talking about acne. She asked me "What are you using for your skin because it looks like it's healing?" This is the first time I had ever met the women and I was elated that my skin was actually making progress and it was noticable! I'm still using it every day. I try to space it out to a teaspoon every couple of hours (3 times a day). I still do get acne, but it's not the enormous cysts that I used to get. They only pop up after wearing makeup for too long or forgetting to take the flax seed oil consistently. I still have to stick to a routine (as i did with clearasil and neutrogena) but I'd rather it be a healthy one, rather than applying chemicals to my skin every |

| Pros | I have tried this and find it has great results. After a year of testing vitamins I am now giving to my two teenage children too. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Have been told capsules don't work so well but I found them ok but now changing to oil. |
| Bottom line | I have dedicated quite a few pages of my site [link removed] to acne and how vitmains have helped. Can send free documents I have to anyone who requests them. Take a look. No cost. |

| Pros | At first, seemed to help reduce inflamation of pimples (supposed to have anti-inflammatory properties). Affordable, natural, and great for your body in many ways and for health in general. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Not sure to what degree this works in the "long run". Hard to determine what the right dosage is that works best. |
| Bottom line | Recommend it for general health and it did seem to help reduce the pimples when I first started using it. Will keep using it anyway most likely. USAGE: I take 3-4 pills of it daily, one or two with each meal. Only time will tell if it works for you "in the long run". |

| Bottom line | i started using flax oil and it seemed to be working after a few days but then i broke out kind of bad. however i found out that if youre supplementing EFAs then you need to cut out all hydrogenated oils (cookies, chips, popcorn, fried food etc) or youre acne may get worse. so i'm going to continue with at least 2 tbsp per day and try and eat pretty healthy for the next few weeks and i'll update on my progress then |

| Pros | Nothing-----yet |
|---|---|
| Cons | tastes awful (although I mix it with juice/smoothie; I've used it for over 3 weeks and my acne is at an all time high; I'll try it for another 3 weeks cuz I'm persistent (like my acne!) |
| Bottom line | I'm not giving up yet. |

| Bottom line | This has been great for me. I just had a baby and have been battling with bad breakouts. I am breastfeeding so I wanted to use the most natural products. Not only has this almost cured my acne, it is suppose to benefit the baby when taken while breastfeeding. Even if it doesn't help your acne your skin will feel better. I also think there are too many benefits not to keep it in your diet. |
