| Pros | Flax seeds |
|---|---|
| Cons | miracle |
| Bottom line | Use ground flax for your acne. It does a miracle for me!!! Never a bump again!!! Forget proactive solution, the problem is not outside of your skin it is inside of your body. You have inflamation in your intestines. Fax seeds help heal that. |

| Pros | Cleared my face! Red marks fading slowly, smooth face, no more break outs. |
|---|---|
| Cons | none |
| Bottom line | I take 2 Flaxseed Oil capsules, 1 morning and 1 at night with 50 mg of zinc. All I have now are redmarks left after acne. I also had an oily face but when I started using flaxseed it decreased the oiliness. Might help for people with the same condition. I use nature's made organic flax seed oil. |

| Pros | My skin has become softer, and less breakouts. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The capsules are quite large. |
| Bottom line | A woman at the spa recommended flax seed oil capsules to me and she said : The bacteria (acne) feed off the oil of my skin or.. "the taste" of my oils, and taking flax seed will tone down the flavors which will decrease breakouts. And it definitely have, i see a decrease in breakouts, but i also eat a lot of tuna, and green veggies which helps with skin. I suggest it! |

| Pros | NOOOOOO. my face started breaking out in horrible cysts, and i, stupidly, could not figure out why or what i had started doing differently. i had been taking flax and eating flax cereal for about 2 weeks for omegas. |
|---|---|
| Cons | i am pretty sure this in what inflamed my skin. |
| Bottom line | maybe it works for some people, and i know omegas are good but you can get them other ways. did NOT work for me. |
| Recommended | No |

| Bottom line | Acutane will ruin your liver. research it. It's HORRIBLE for you. Have fun. I guess a ruined liver is better than acne, since acne won't kill you. Wrong. Eat a diet rich in natural raw foods. fruits and vegetables. Lots of juice. The benefits of flax seed oil outweigh those of acutane tremendously. People have been using it for thousands of years for all sorts of ailments. Acne is not the worst thing in the world. Please find a cure that won't do damage to your internal organs. |

| Pros | Improves Skin Mosture |
|---|---|
| Cons | Causes Severe Breakouts |
| Bottom line | Despite being inexpensive, it isn't worth a dime. See a dermatologist and begin isotretinoin therapy (accutane) if you are serious about getting rid of acne. I've been on accutane for three months now and have had far less breakouts. |

| Pros | healthy, tasty if you mix it with a banana (for example)...and... |
|---|---|
| Cons | I want to be careful as I read that taking more than 2 or 3 tablespoons of flaxseed (smashed) may change the hormonal balance.... |
| Bottom line | and I read that estradiol may cause chloasma (sun spots due pregnancy) and flaxseed inhibits estradiol... so this can help me to get rid of some "sun spots" ... I am checking this because I remember that when I was taking like 3 tablespoons (that was too much but I didn't know by then...) the sun spots that I had became less noticeable... and somehow my face looked better... so I am returning to it.... I guess that the detail is also that when you begin to have flaxseed you have to try to reduce your intake of other oils... otherwise it can be be too much for you and acne may appear... In fact I began having this because I had something like blepharitis and now I don't have this and maybe the flaxseed helped me do it ... I suggest it ... |

| Pros | Practically acne free when I stick to ground flaxseed daily. Skin is incredibly smooth and soft. VERY easy to mix with smoothies (which means you can up your fruit intake as well!). Many other beneficial properties (anti- cancer, inflammation |
|---|---|
| Cons | Requires a lot of willpower to stick to it everyday. |
| Bottom line | This review is in regards to GROUND flaxseed. Although oil may contain more omega-3s, only ground flaxseed contains lignans (thought to decrease the risk of breast cancer) and other important nutrients. It is also very easy to mix with smoothies, cereal, breads, etc. I have moderate acne (although I am particularly prone to the cystic type - usually in mild doses). I have never found over the counter acne medications to do anything for me. When I stick to 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed per day, my acne virtually disappears. I find that my skin is very clear and soft. I also notice that I wear much less makeup - indicating that my skin is healthier with a natural "glow'. I attribute flaxseed's success to its ability to reduce inflammation. You MUST continue to take it. Recently I have gotten "lazy" and noticed a return of the cystic type acne. I will be resuming my flaxseed regimen to that I may once again enjoy healthy, natural looking skin. |

| Pros | I like flax seed it gives your body omega fatty acids thats good for skin improvement |
|---|---|
| Cons | umm don't put flax seed oil on your face( think about it) |
| Bottom line | i had bad acne throughout high school, now that I am 24 my skin has a little damage to it; nothing that a good scrubbing process can not fix; but my skin today never really breaks out. I think that using flaxseed in your diet along with medication, ( i was persribed diffren gel and tetracycline) your skin will improve; do not use harsh treatments, eat healty, exercise and don't smoke (it makes a big difference) then you can see improvement. Treat your skin like you would a babies skin...never pop zits and never fret your skin will improve...best advice see a doctor, get on antibiotics and special creams...its really the only way to fight a extream breakout. |
