| 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!!!!! |

| 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? |

| 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? |

| 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 |

| 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! |

| Pros | Easy (mix 2Tbls with orange juice each morning). Cheap! I buy mine pre-ground in the baking aisle of my local Whole Foods--a large bag is $3-4. Also promotes bowel regularity and cardiac health. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I think the lignans in the flaxseed oil may have dysregulated my menstrual cycle one month (longer menstruation than usual), but have not had a repeat occurrence. |
| Bottom line | Worth a try for acne and definitely worth using for its cardiovascular benefits (lower blood pressure, etc.). |

| Pros | Skin becomes brighter and smooth |
|---|---|
| Cons | Tastes not so good. It has 14gms of Fat per srving. |
| Bottom line | I have been mixing 1 1/2 tbls of Flax Seed Oil with about the same amount of cottage cheese each morning. The estatician said to eat it on and empty stomach. While I am not willing to say that it is clearing my blemishes or preventing new ones, I can say that the overall health of my skin is improving. The skin that isn't blemished has definetly improved. Blemishes seem to be fading sooner, but I think its because of the creme the estatician gave me that she has made in Europe. |

| Pros | Gets rid of whiteheads and good for health. Has Omega 3,6 and 9. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It doesn't taste like chocolate. |
| Bottom line | Both the capsules and the milled seeds work. You just have to find out how much to eat for it to improve your skin. Milled seeds are more potent than the oil/capsules. I've suffered chronic whiteheads on my cheeks and forehead for years, rarely they would turn into pimples. Over the years I've changed my diet and eat salad everyday, exercise everyday, take a multi-vitamin and drink plenty of water. I've tried benzoyl peroxide, salicyclic acid, hydrogen peroxide, scrubs, peels and nothing helped the whiteheads. So I did some research and found out about essential fatty acids, oleic and linoleic acids and how they affect whiteheads. I went with flaxseed because it has a high concentration of Omega 3, 6, 9. After 3 days of taking 2 flaxseed oil capsules a day to my diet, I noticed that no new whiteheads formed. I upped the dosage to 2 capsules and a tablespoon of the milled seed per day and now the older bumps are going away faster. Try it, you've everything to |
