lalani, california Dec 29th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Easy & Natural. My Skin is starting to look great Cons: I guess just dealing with the breakouts in the first two weeks Bottom Line: I really felt like I had tried everything but nothing seemed to work but then i came across flaxseed. I take 2 1000 mg organic flaxseed oil gel tabs in the morning and two at night. The first 2-3 weeks I seemed to break out a little more than normal. Week 4 I added a raw whole food vitamin with probiotics (vitamin code), and a product called candida clear by Now Foods and my face looks pretty darn clear and is starting to heal. You really just have to be consistent with it but it really does work. The flaxseed gel tabs cost me about $7 a month, the vitamins cost me $25 a month, and the candida clear about $10 a month. It might sound like alot but it works and its worth it. Recommended: Yes Usage: lalani has used this item for about a month.

Anonymous, New York Dec 27th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None. Cons: Tried 1 tablespoon a day for only 3 days and within a week several deep, painful spots broke out along my jawline, much worse than any breakout I've had in years. The spots wouldn't come to a head and are still healing. Bottom Line: Never again. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a week. Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful?

Carol, Canada Nov 11th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap, good for regularity, took it to avail of the good omega's. Cons: Gave me bad acne Bottom Line: I started to take two Flaxseed oil capsules on Sunday, one in the morning, one at evening and by the next Sunday I was broke out around my chin and lip line terribly and very painful. I stopped taking the capsules and still had a terrible time healing, literally weeks.It was almost like the pimple would not turn to a whitehead nor go away but very painful and swollen. Prior to this I had no pimples but just wanted to take advantage of those good amega's. I got a raw deal!!!!! Recommended: No Usage: Carol has used this item for about a week.

Anonymous, Australia Oct 19th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap and it works Cons: Takes a month or so to get used to the taste Bottom Line: I take 2tbls twice a day - organic, cold pressed oil. You need to continue to use it - even though you are likely to break out badly after the first week (I did). I also had a mild breakout at week 2. I kept going and after about 20 days a patch of skin really improved. It's just getting better every day now (I'm about 6 weeks in) and can't believe how soft my skin feels and how clear it is. Friends who haven't seen me face to face in the last 6 weeks just can't believe it when we meet. I have had bad rosacea for about 15 years and have tried everything - IPL, antibiotics, etc. Just give a try - what do you have to lose?

Katie, Denver,CO Oct 13th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Health benefits Cons: Not working for me. Bottom Line: This is my 7th day and I'm pretty broken out, and now it is cystic and it has never been before. I'm hoping it just takes time so I'll keep taking it. I am taking it for depression anyway. Has anyone had it make your face flare up and then clear?

Mirabella, Toronto Sep 27th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Affordable and natural Cons: Has worked for me but I am trying to know why. Maybe the dosage... Bottom Line: I made me breakout even more. I tokk 1 tsp a day, then increased to 2 tsp. The acne was just horrible . Do you know why this happened. Was I taking too much? Recommended: No Usage: Mirabella has used this item for about a month. Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Jen, OR Sep 8th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared my skin and gave me a healthy glow - almost tan color. I stumbled on this after reading about the BUDWIG DIET, which is named after a German scientist (9 times nominated for the nobel prize). You must search this more! It's amazing. Cons: None Bottom Line: I'm reading the Budwig diet which has some major points. 1. You should mix flax oil with cottage cheese until there is no oil. There is a GOOD reason for this which i won't go into here. 2. You need to stop eating all partially hydrogenated oils. Otherwise the flax oil won't work. This is why I think some people are NOT having success or more acne. Read this website for more info - they claim it even cures cancer! No joke - must read: http://home.online.no/~dusan/diseases/cancer/cancer_dr_budwig.html Recommended: Yes Usage: Jen has used this item for about a week.

Jane, Utah Sep 5th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Incredible skin Cons: none! Bottom Line: I have tried everything from accutane to birth control to antibiotics to every single topical treatment, and nothing has worked better than flaxseed oil and probiotics taken together. I take two tablespoons of flaxseed oil a day (you can take up to a tablespoon for every 50 pounds of body weight, according to Udo Erasmus). The probiotics help to balance the good and bad bacteria in your body. I take capsules because I can't stand the taste or texture. I haven't head a whitehead in months now. It's also important to keep saturated fats low in your diet. These will clog your pores! And eat lots of vegetables and fruits for antioxidants! Recommended: Yes Usage: Jane has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 25.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
