| Pros | It helps with my mood. Could make you stomach cramps if taken with no food. Clear up my inflammation acne!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Take long time to take effect, maybe 2 - 3 month after taking it. |
| Bottom line | My face was full of inflammation acne before i took this supplement, it took quiet a long time to see the BIG effect. Also, my scar on my forehead seems start to fade away and wow, that's really great. Maybe it could prevent scars from happen. and and my wound heals much faster tough! |

| Pros | Less oily skin Helps eliminate hormonal acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can be hell if not taken with food It's hard to find Zinc without Calcium or Dicalcium Phosphate (those decrease the absorption) After long term use you can become copper deficient |
| Bottom line | I read up online that certain forms of Zinc (chelated zinc and opti zinc seem to be the most popular) can reduce cystic acne or hormonal acne. In my case, it has drastically improved hormonal acne on my chin. I had severe breakouts everyday to the point where it hurt to move my mouth or smile from the deep nodules/cysts that had developed all over my chin. However, it only went that far. Zinc supplements haven't helped with acne breakouts anywhere else on my face, but I think it's extremely beneficial for those who primarily suffer from hormonal breakouts, especially around the jawline area. I should also note that I've only been able to find zinc that contains calcium (Target brand) which isn't generally recommended from most people online because it tends to not work so well. With that said, it may just be the zinc supplements I'm taking and I need to switch which I will probably end up doing in the future. |

| Pros | Works!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can be KILLER on an empty stomach- Take with food! |
| Bottom line | I have cystic acne and have since I was 18. I have been doing acne treatments for over year per the dermatologist to rid of my acne but it only seemed to get worse. The last visit I had they said they didn't know what to do & they suggested get on birth control and accutane (which I refused to go on accutane due to it's risks). I was at my wits end. I started taking zinc when my mom mentioned it to mentioned it worked on acne few weeks ago... within a week my acne was almost gone. My large bumps on my chins, jaw and cheeks started to decrease. They didn't even hurt!! I can't understand it or explain it. I am still taking the prescribed antibiotic and topicals until they run out but wow do see a difference with Zinc. I take 50 mg a day with a multi vitamin! I wish they had thought to checked my blood for how deficient I was in minerals and vitamins, instead of put me a thousand different topical creams and antibiotics. I am so happy and not nearly as embarrassed to go in public. |

| Pros | --Easy to add to daily regimen --No initial breakout --Keeps skin clear from the inside out |
|---|---|
| Cons | --Can make you nauseous if taken on an empty stomach |
| Bottom line | I have been taking Zinc now for about a year, and it's been a huge component in keeping my skin clear. My biggest complaint with the regimen my dermatologist set me up with is that it only addresses the symptoms of my acne, it doesn't do anything for preventing it. So I decided to do some research, and I discovered that acne can be lessened from the inside out. After hearing dermatologist after dermatologist say that my acne had nothing to do with my diet, I decided to see if maybe my diet did have something to do with my acne. I started eating a lot healthier, incorporating more fruits and veggies, less soda and fast food, and adding a couple supplements known to help control acne. What do you know, my acne completely went away! I take 60mg of zinc every day in addition to a fish oil supplement. I know these two things make a difference in my skin because for a period of about three months I stopped taking both and my skin started breaking out every single day again! Once I started taking zinc and fish oil again, my acne diminished in about a week, and my skin has been clear ever since. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 is I still get a small breakout around that time of the month. Luckily, though, it heals so much faster than it used to, and I'm 100 percent clear the rest of the month :) |

| Pros | +Less oily skin +Brighter eyes. +Acne and scars heal quickly. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Dry, sensitive hair. -Sensitive skin. -No significant change in acne. |
| Bottom line | I've been taking zinc 50mg for a while now, 4-5 times a week. I've noticed my eyes has a nice gleam now and my skin is less oily. However, my hair is drier and cannot be washed every day or else it will get frizzy throughout the day. I have not noticed a great change in my acne. |

| Pros | - easy to take - part of my new regime and seems to be working! |
|---|---|
| Cons | - more yellow urine |
| Bottom line | I've been taking 50mg Zinc every night (in addition to fish oil and a multivitamin in the AM) and for the last week I have seen my acne pretty much disappear. People said Zinc helps heal skin faster and damn if they weren't correct! I'm a believer after having one of the worst, scariest breakouts of my life (I'm 26, male.) USE THIS if you are breaking out like crazy. |

| Pros | None |
|---|---|
| Cons | Makes your nauseous |
| Bottom line | I took Zinc for a few weeks and noticed no difference what so ever. Be careful because as everyone says, it makes your stomach turn, especially if you take it on empty! |
