Pros May be good for your health.
Cons Easily can cause stomach problems if you are not careful with it. I haven't noticed it diminish acne in the slightest bit and I've been using it for over 6 months, easily.

Pros IT REALLY DOES WORK! LESS zits and the ones that do come up are very small.
Cons you have to remember to take it everyday.
Bottom line I had been going to dermatologist since i was 13yo. ive tried everything i even went as far as slushing if anyone knows what that is. everything was temp. i got so tired of the chemicals that make your face red and dry and avoiding crowds because of the way i looked. i got on the internet and researched vitamin deficencies and i found where zinc had some research about a antibiotic property it has so i gave it a shot. i now no longer have any chemicals in my house for my acne. i wash my face every morning and every night with regular soap. and i take zinc every day at breakfast. its my miracle drug.

Pros I haven't had any luck with this at all. I've read so many good things about zinc but after a month of taking 50mg twice daily I've had no change in my acne.
Cons Losing hair
Bottom line It hasn't worked for me, I guess I thought it would be some kinda miracle pill the way people have described it.

Pros clears active acne
no more oily skin
Cons must be taken with a meal
Bottom line zinc is the only thing which has improved my skin (and i've tried so many things). when i take it, my active acne completely clears. i stopped taking it for about 3 days and i started getting spots again. it has also made my skin a lot less oily. I take 4 x 15mg of Chelated Zinc daily, of which 0.75mg of each tablet is Copper.

Pros - Really starting to clear up acne within a week
- Fading scars like crazy!
- Only have to take one tablet a day
Cons - Makes you feel nauseous when not taken with food
Bottom line I have been using benozyl peroxide for about a year now, with no success. I am still using it but have recently been taking Zinc, for about a week or so. It is incredible! It's really cleared my skin a lot and I recommend it to anyone. REALLY cheap as well.

Zinc from Ann Arbor, MI
May 8, 2009
Pros allowed me to stop using bp. like others have said, no more cystic painful acne -- zits are little and heal quickly when they do appear.
Cons none really. only caveat is that you'll need to take iron and copper supplements as well to avoid the hair loss and other ill effects from massive zinc supplementation.
Bottom line basically, it was my miracle cure. i use nature's plus time released zinc which you can take on an empty stomach. i take 100mg/day.
Price paid $10.00

Pros This stuff works! You have nothing to loose. I saw results after only 2 days. It has made my skin less oily and I have gotten no new zits since taking zinc. Also, it has cleared up some existing acne.
Cons Nothing. I have a very sensitive stomach and haven't experienced anything but I do take it with food in my stomach.
Bottom line BUY THIS!
