Dave Love, Reading, Pa Jun 7th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It's a beautiful thing...I started taking this because I thought it would be healthy for my heart...little did i know it was going to clear up my acne like it did...my face is as smooth as a baby's bottom and it's never ever ever!!! been like this. Cons: There really is none for me..honestly! Bottom Line: This product is cheap and effective! I wouldn't say it's the cure for acne because my acne wasn't that bad but it get's rid of even the tiniest pimples that you're so used to and don't see anymore. With that, it gives you a more youthful, flawless appearance. I use the pills from the Spring Valley brand; they sell at WalFart! Recommended: Yes Usage: Dave Love has used this item for a few weeks.

Anonymous, San Francisco, CA May 20th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: No more acne!!! Seemed to help with my dry eyes a bit as well. Cons: None. Bottom Line: I am a twenty-eight year old female that has suffered from chronic, persistent acne since I was a teenager. I had tried numerous solutions (including two separate four month rounds of Accutane) all of which failed. I have also done an alternating series of six microdermabrasion treatments and six salicylic acid peels. These didn't help either. For me, acne only really occurred as a cluster of deep whiteheads on my cheeks resulting in a very bumpy texture. They were rarely inflammed. Sometimes these whiteheads (usually after picking and yes, I know I'm not supposed to but pushing the thick, white blockage out was the only thing that seemed to help) would turn nodular or cystic resulting in fortunately, only fairly mild scarring, but they always came back. I have been using three 1000mg gel tabs (two in the morning one at night) of flax oil per day for a few weeks and the all the bumps on my cheeks, even the deep ones are gone. I'm not saying this will work for everyone but it worked me Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 7.00 Was this comment helpful?

Jenna, California Apr 24th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Helps with acne on my face, and chronic eczema on my legs. Also helps a little with dry eyes. Cons: Can't handle the oil, but the capsule work just fine. Bottom Line: It seems to help with all my skin problems, and improves overall skin appearance. I would recommend this to everyone. I have many friends who have tried it and all have seen positive results, no complaints. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 6.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Jennifer, USA Apr 14th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Miraculously fast results,using 2 TBSP. ground flaxseed a day (instead of oil), my horrible face acne cleared up within a week. It remains clear; scars are fading. Smooth skin, no dryness or redness! Cons: None; be creative with what you mix it with; try to never miss a day. Bottom Line: haven't used the oil, but ground flaxseed mixed in oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce, spaghetti sauce, soup, pancakes or whatever has been my miracle cure. I was also using Herpanacine, vitamins, and Proactiv, but never saw any results until I added ground flax. Then within 7 days the out-of-control acne was gone! I am a teenager and do not want to be without my flaxseed now. Recommended: Yes Usage: Jennifer has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 2.00 Was this comment helpful?

Lauren, Rio Rancho, New Mexico Apr 14th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It completely got rid of my acne. I use the seeds which you need to grind up but they seem to be the most effective. Cons: Sorry I have to say this but the seeds make you poop like crazy. But its worth it. Bottom Line: I started taking flaxseed for my general health and noticed a decrease in my acne. It has helped me lose weight (I wasn't trying but I just noticed) and has so many health benefits. I recommend the ground up seeds because they seem to work the best but if you can't get your hands on those then try the capsules. Even if you don't have acne, you should be taking this. Also for my last eye exam, my horrible vision got a bit better and my doctor asked if I had been taking flaxseed oil because it helps. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 5.00 Was this comment helpful?

Kathy, Virginia Beach, VA Apr 11th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I just started taking a couple of weeks ago and have noticed considerable improvement in my skin. I also have carpal tunnel (originally why I decided to give flax a try). It has helped manage the pain, however, I still experience some discomfort. Cons: None Bottom Line: I'm going to keep using. Hopefully, in time it will help with my inflamation related to Carpal Tunnel. My skin looks fantastic! Recommended: Yes Usage: Kathy has used this item for a few weeks.

Alias, Seattle Mar 21st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I was taking flax oil mixed in with my daily protein shakes for the health benefits. A few weeks later I noticed my skin looked and felt great. I even recall saying "mom, doesn't my skin look fantastic?!"...But i didn't realize what was causing it.. Cons: none. it is VERY good for you. Bottom Line: like i said i didn't realize what was causing it, because i was also taking many other supplements, drinking water and working out a lot. When a job change made it so I couldn't work out anymore, and I stopped taking most of my daily supplements, my acne came back. Just a few days ago i started my protein shakes with Flax oil again and my skin has cleared up. I decided to check online to see if it was a known acne treatment and sure enough!

Demi, Rock Mar 16th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clears up. Cons: My bumps were gone! But my skin turned red and looked like a rash. I assumed that it was a allergic reaction from the capsules. I stopped taking them and in a week or so the redness stopped and I continued to break out again. Oh well. Bottom Line: It was a allergic reaction for me. It works well but it isn't for everyone.
