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.
Price paid $6.00

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.

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.

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!

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!
Price paid $9.00

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.
