Anonymous, Shady Shores,Tx Dec 18th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Cons: I had been taking Flaxseed oil capsules for about a month and developed a rash just below my belly button. It appeared to look like fire ant bites and very itchy with a white puss center. I have stopped the flaxseed oil, but may try another brand Bottom Line: I still believe in the flaxseed oil, but may not be able to take it myself.

Sarah, North Dakota Dec 18th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Many! I have many skin issues, and all my scars and bruises healed up fairly quickly after I started taking flax oil. Cons: The taste is bad, but I've learned to slide the oil off the spoon into the back of my mouth so that I don't have to taste much of it. Bottom Line: Taking flax oil alone isn't enough. I take raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar (Bragg's) with it. This combo has worked wonders! My skin clears up so much quicker and I hardly break out much anymore! I also have more energy. I made sure to use organic flax oil in the brown bottles. Usage: Sarah has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 13.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Pros: Have only been taking it 3 days. Bottom Line: I have just recently bought the product and I have been taking the capsule form. I take 4 capsules daily, hoping to see some results soon! Also, I have purchased some Tea Tree Oil. I read that it heal's blemishes on the skin, however, don't put it on irritated skin. I am going to keep taking the flax oil and believing in faith that my acne heals! Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a day or two. Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Taylor, AL Nov 27th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None Cons: Caused huge, sore cystic acne along my jawline and on my back. Bottom Line: I took 1 tsp of flaxseed oil a day for three weeks and got nothing but deep, cystic acne along my jawline and huge sore pimples in the middle of my back (never had any there before!) Oh and I also gained three pounds because of the extra fat intake from the oil. So this stuff obviously didn't work for me. I'm a 30 year old female who has had acne since I was 15 and there has never been a day in those 15 years when I haven't had at least a few pimples or more on my face. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't outgrow acne after puberty. So since the flaxseed caused me to break out worse and gain weight, I'm going back to using the Proactiv Extra Strength kit and drinking one cup a day of Wu Long tea, which seems to help, but I still wish I could find something that would make my face clear since I'm 30 years old!

Platnum Nov 20th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: scars + pits in the skin evened out and because less visible. a healthy shiny looking glow to my skin (not oily skin). less breakouts/smaller breakouts. feelt less depressed! Cons: no cons, this is great! Bottom Line: i took it in capsule form. within 2 days my skin had a radiant glow and i could see some scars/pits in my skin looking evend out. less oily skin. this is really good, and i dont know why people would complain about it, unless their body is allegic to an indgredient in them. i took the omega organic flaxseed oil in the black capsules.but make sure u get the more expsensive stuff. im not that sure about those cheap supermarket brands..FLAXSEED OIL CAPS! REALLY GOOD STUFF GUYS! GET IT! ... AND U FEEL HAPPIER! WANNA BE LESS DEPRESSED AND HAVE GLOWING SKIN? - GET IT! Recommended: Yes Usage: Platnum has used this item for about a week.

Anonymous, Indiana Nov 6th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: -Easy to take -Dirt Cheap price! Cons: -Developed Rashes after 1 hour of taking this. I've never had a dry skin problem, and this made me itch. Bottom Line: I called my dermatologist and he told me that some people get an allergic reaction to Flaxseed oil, so perhaps I will try to fish-based omega 3 capsules instead. I've never had a skin problem to begin with, so I regret buying it! Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 9.99 Was this comment helpful?

Kelly, Memphis, TN Oct 27th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Supposed to be good for me. Cons: I'm over 40 and in perimenopause. Within a week of taking just one capsule a day my skin broke out like a teen's, especially on my chin/jawline. I also found that my cheeks and nose were flushing way more often. (I have mild rosacea). Bottom Line: I think it's best for those women in perimenopause to say clear of flax oil. I did research and found it has a stronger form of estrogen than even soy does. (Taking flax oil would be adding more estrogen to those women who are already estrogen-dominant). Recommended: No Usage: Kelly has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 7.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

astf, adelaide, australia Oct 24th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Good for your general health. Cons: Tastes bad. Bottom Line: I have been taking this for about two weeks mainly for psoriasis of the scalp. The amount varies everyday, sometimes I take 4 pills a day, sometimes just 1. The directions say to take 6 huge pills a day, and I just can't stomach that. What have I noticed? Well, nothing. Maybe because I'm not taking enough, but neither my psoriasis or my skin has been greatly helped by this product. I get better results (healing wise) from 500IUD of vitamin E at bedtime, to tell you the truth. I have never really found any supplement that prevents acne, although I have heard good things about high doses of vitamin A (but then you're essentially taking a poor form of accutane, and this is very dangerous without medical supervision.)

Anonymous, OH Sep 28th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Although it did not clear up my skin completely (Ive only been taking it a week), it DEFINATELY showed some results! I would have to agree with a lot that my skin is about 80% clearer. Cons: I have the oil and need to mix it with yogurt or I cannot take it. I tried just drinking it and gagged :/ . The yogurt works well with me. Bottom Line: I have had problems with my skin for as long as I can remember. My skin has lots of little bumps and I started breaking out on my neck and so I figured Id give flaxseed oil a try. DEFINATELY worth it! It has evened out my skin and there are no more bumps on my neck and as a woman, I dont have to wear powder cover up anymore!!! If you are skeptical, please just try it, it will work! Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 18.00 Was this comment helpful?
