So I started taking 45mgs of Zinc about two days ago, and was wondering if it helped so much with acne, will it helped with the red marks too? I use Clinique 3 step acne solutions, drink plenty of water, and exercise daily. Bad thing I do is...I smoke. I am trying to quit, but its very hard to do.

yep zinc should help red marks although smoking reduces the absorption of zinc

Since smoking limits the absorbtion of zinc, it could lead to a copper deficiancy with all that zinc floating around.
As hard as it is, i would urge you to quit smoking.
Good look
Peace !

yes. zinc is supposed to help with acne scars.
u should try applying lemon juice to your red marks a couple of times a week. it is supposed to lighten scars. i tried it and its, so far, working well for me.
try and stop smoking...or reduce the amount of smoking u do:)

Thanks all!! I am going to quit smoking, even though its really hard to do, so I am cutting back a lot. Hopefully it works!

does the zinc cause a breakout initially while your body is getting used to it?
