Anonymous, New York, NY Sep 18th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works Cons: Taking multiple pills a day Bottom Line: It's the only thing that helped me. I had very mild acne, but I broke out bad one week. I started using ProActiv, which worked well for about a month and a half. One day, my face started breaking out worse than it ever has in my life. I stopped using the ProActiv and tried many different cleansers and treatments. I started taking three 50 mg Zinc pills a day and after a month or two, my skin is back to the way it was before I used ProActiv. It's the only thing that cleared my skin back up. I'd definitely give it a try. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 12.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Pros: None Cons: Made me ill. Bottom Line: No affect on my skin. Took 50 mgs/day and felt ill after almost every dose. Yes, I took it with food. DO NOT take it if you are only having a snack, youneed to eat a FULL MEAL with it or you will feel nasty unless your stomach is made of iron.

Bottom Line: I started taking 50 mg zinc gluconate for my mild to moderate acne and I have seen positive results. My face feels tighter, dry, and it's helping with the complexion. Coincidentally, I also have a sore throat and zinc is supposed to help with that by maintaining a healthy overall immune system. I feel more energized and less lethargic.

Andy, CA Sep 7th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Making my skin feel tight and more firm. Red spots and scars are literally disappearing. Cons: Dry skin. Obvious upset stomach if I don't eat a full meal with it. But that's not hard to manage. I think everyone should stop complaining about that and just take it with food. Bottom Line: It's only been a week and my face broke out somewhat harshly when I first started. But I can feel it working the same way accutane did. It's making my skin tight, the pores are shrinking and I'm not getting pimples not for 2 days. We'll see how it lasts. To be fair, I have been taking 50mg a day along with A and B-6. So I dunno if it's the combination or one single vitamin working...but I think it's gonna work. I faith!!! hah. I've tried so much nonsense to try and get rid of acne. Aside from my accutane period (which cleared everything) I've battled it since I was 12. I'm 21 now and it's REALLY bad on my chest and back. And moderate on my face. But they get real big and red so even just a few pimples looks REALLY bad. The zinc is helping that though! I recommend giving it a try! At night I also use some BP. That usually helps it along to but also contributes to the drying. Good luck to all of you and I'll let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed this time!

delphine, minnesota, usa Aug 29th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: cheap and easy Cons: none really. i haven't had any problems with nausea that others have reported. Bottom Line: i have had acne since i was 12 and now i'm 22 and i think it's been getting worse over the last few years. i've been on pretty much all kinds of prescription topicals and minocycline and none have worked. i have blackheads, whiteheads, deep swollen pimples... at this point, i'm using neutrogena oil-free acne wash 2X a day, i use clean & clear 10% bp thing at night, and i take 30 mg of zinc at dinner. i'm not sure if it's the zinc, or the regime i started, but i'm seeing some improvement. it's always hard to tell--i think my skin is clearing and then i get some really bad ones. it's cheap and definitely worth a try and may even work. i'm going to continue and see what happens.

Anonymous, USA Aug 14th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Helped clear things up. Cons: Dont forget to take it! Bottom Line: It definitely wont do you any harm. It worked alot better the first 2 weeks, but that may have more to do with remembering to take it every night then. You have nothing to lose with this, its cheap. It wasnt a miracle cure for me, but it did help. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 5.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?
