grumpy, philippines Nov 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: it was effective for a few days. Cons: it makes me feel sick, and want to vomit Bottom Line: it was effective for 5 days. one cyst was cleared after some days only. at first really i notice some effect. but on the fifth day, i felt very sick. then small cysts begun to appear which is quite weird cz i usually get one after the other (and just takes a long time to go away). then i still continue to take zinc every night 100mg. and the small cysts got bigger. wtf! i didn't reach the two-week period. i stopped using it.why is it effective to others? it didnt even take away the redness. it just take away one big cysts and replaced it with 6 small cysts (btw, this small cysts are now big.f**k zinc!)

cs, canada Nov 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It actually works! It's really improved the texture of my skin - inflammation is way down, much fewer pimples, wayyy less oily, and no cysts at the moment for the first time in ages. Cons: I have to take it with a lot of food or I will get sick. I don't usually eat much in one sitting so it's been a bit of a challenge for me - if it's any less than a full stomach I want to throw up. Bottom Line: I was using zinc gluconate (50mg) at first - I noticed a difference after the first few days but then found it was getting inconsistent and I had one really bad breakout. I found chelated zinc at a store and picked that up and I find it works much better. I also read online that soy blocks the absorption of zinc and I was taking it everyday with a meal that has a lot of soy in it so I think that may have been part of the problem. I also make a mask sometimes by crushing one of the gluconate pills with some warm water and a bit of tea tree oil. I leave it on for about 5 minutes. That makes my skin look and feel great and helps heal any scars. Recommended: Yes Usage: cs has used this item for about a month.

Anonymous, minneapolis, mn Nov 12th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I used to get cystic acne, and between the zinc supplements and eliminating almost all dairy products, I rarely even have a minor pimple now. I've been on this routine for 8 months now. It's been great! Cons: If taken without food, I get an upset stomach. Also, at first, I was taking too much and I would get a metallic taste in my mouth. I reduced the dosage and that went away. Bottom Line: Definitely worth trying. It's cheap and easy. I knew within a day or two that it was working, and I had good results within a couple of weeks. Initially, my skin became dried out and flakey, but I switched facial cleansers to Neutrogena Deep Clean cleanser and that helped my skin's condition. It's really been a life changer and confidence booster. I wish that it worked for everyone. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months.

D, BC, Canada Nov 10th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: really affordable Cons: none as of right now. Do your research to make sure you're not overdosing. Eat on a full stomach! Bottom Line: I've been taking this for 3 weeks now. Seems to be working pretty well in combination with Dan's Regimen. I am approaching my pre-period week, where I usually flare up with at least 5-7 active deep cysts. It's been kept to about 2-3 so far. Red spots and inflammation seem to fade quicker and are less intense. I am grateful for anything that keeps my acne at bay. I'm also using Dan's AHA, and have been eating better and exercising more. I'm taking Jamieson's 25mg of zinc gluconate pills 1x a day. Haven't had any side effects or nausea, as I am diligent about taking it on a full stomach and at the same time every day. Wow, can't believe I didn't try this earlier. BP got my skin good, AHA got my skin better. I'm thinking zinc will get my skin great. Recommended: Yes Usage: D has used this item for a few weeks.

Mika, Carmel, CA Nov 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Extremely easy compared to other treatments, no side effects, worked really well Cons: none Bottom Line: I have been taking 80mg of zinc for two weeks and my skin has improved dramatically. Let me say that I didn't have active acne, but I had very prominent redness left over from severe acne. My face looked like I constantly was sunburnt and "angry." My skin was also very very oily. I also had quite a few blackheads on my nose, and clogged pores on my cheeks. So I started taking 30mg (Nature's Way) in the morning and 50 mg (Nature's Bounty) at night, both with meals. My redness has been reduced by about 85% and my skin is significantly less oily. I should mention that I got rid of my acne a while ago by adopting a vegan diet (except I still eat egg whites every once in a while), and the zinc only helped with the aftermath of the acne, so I can't say how well it works on current acne. I hope this simple treatment works for you, good luck! Recommended: Yes Usage: Mika has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 7.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful?

Tyler, GA Nov 4th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Zinc really seemed to clear up my acne. I had a few acne scars on my face and a week after using the zinc it cleared up. The zinc is def worth trying. Cons: Nausea, Don't take zinc on a empty stomach, I took it one day on empty stomach and ended up with nausea. Bottom Line: It seems that the zinc really works. I take two 50mg zinc tablets daily so a total of 100mg daily of zinc. I have never seen my face as clear as this in awhile. Bottom line is if you are suffering with acne, you really need to try this product because I tried everything before zinc. I tried Proactiv , but I didn't see the results I wanted. I tryed Clean & Clear, it worked okay but not the results I was hoping. Try the zinc you got nothing to lose except the acne Recommended: Yes Usage: Tyler has used this item for a few weeks.
