ive have tried everything otc and prescription
the only thing that cleared up my skin was 50mg doxycycline
but after 3 years of being on antibotics it just stopped workin and i started breaking out really bad. after reading the reviews about flaxseed oil i figured id give it a try and after two weeks of taking 2 tablespoons a day of flaxseed oil my skin is totally clear. awesome product!!!!!

This stuff really works. The redness has started to fade and my face has cleared up big time, no new pimples. Mentally I feel a lot healthier too. Please try this stuff.

I have been taking 1 tablespoon for about 2 weeks. My skin is much clearer than it was, although I am still getting a few breakouts. I am going to up my intake to 1 tablespoon in the morning and 1 in the evening. I really think it will do wonders!

I took ground flaxseed every day for about a month. I took about 6-8 tablespoons a day, which was also about 12-16 grams of fiber a day. Each serving (1 tablespoon) provides about 2400 milligrams of Omega-3's. I also took about 2 capsules of Multi-Omega a day which supplied Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9. Within a month my face cleared up about 90%, which was the best it has looked in about 6 years. I stopped taking the flaxseed for about a month, and believe it or not, my face broke out!!! I am getting ready to start taking it again. You can buy you a bag and take about 4 tablespoons a day and it will last you about 3 weeks for only about $4.99. This stuff is definitely worth the money...not only for acne, but also for a lot of other health benefits!!! AT LEAST TRY IT, AND DON'T BUY THE CHEAP STUFF, GO TO YOUR LOCAL HEALTH STORE!!!

I have suffered from this horrible disease for about 20 years now. It comes and goes, but when I have breakouts it is just horrible. I am 34 years old and have tried EVERYTHING. I think I could have bought a house with all the $$$$ I pumped into skincare over the years. Roaccutane helped for a bit, but it came back. I would bet a million dollars I am resistant to doxycycline and erythromycin after allt he courses I have had. Microdermabrasion, acid peels and even IPL - but the acne is still here. In fact last week I had the worst date of my life. Not because of the guy, but because I had a huge cystic zit on my chin that I was paranoid about all night. I had to cover it up as best I could then plan where I would sit - just in case the light made it look even bigger than it already was.

So, to that end, I am currently on a major detox (juices only for 3 days) in an attempt to detox my body. A central part of this latest quest to rid myself of the dreaded disease is to start supplementing with flaxseed oil. I will post back in a couple of weekss to let you know how I go.

I recently began to notice that my face began to break out. I am now 29 yrs old.I did not have this problem when I was a teenager, but now that I am older I have some acne.My mother introduced me to the benifits of taking grounded "Flaxseed". I have been taking it now for (1) week, in the morning before breakfast and in the afternoon. I have noticed that I am clearing up with really no new breakouts. Plus it gives me a sence of calmness, I have been recently diagnosed with Depression about (3) months ago. I do not take anti-depressents. But in just these few days I can see the really good benifits, not only with my skin but how relax calm and good I feel. I have did some research on it and found out that this also helps to treat people with severe cases of depression, and people who under go a lot of stress.

put it on your face as well!! i've been taking 2 tbsp of organic flaxseed oil a day. just upped it to 3 yesterday. for the past 2 nights, i started applying it on my face. it helps the pimples go away faster. so i applied it this morning as well. just a thin layer, it does look quite greasy. but definitely give it a try.

I use the Flaxseed oil as a dressing in my salads. The taste is fair sometimes it's bad but it's just an add in so when you add your regular salad dressing the taste isn't that bad. This has made me digest easier and also it cleanses the body. I have never used this to apply it topically. It worke for me at a 5% rating but overall taking in flax seed oil is good for the body!!!
