Ryan, Topeka, KS Sep 2nd, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I can definitely tell a difference with my skin since taking this. I'm about 2 weeks in so far and am seeing great improvements. I still get acne, but when I do, it's very minimal now and even when I get something, it clears up very fast. Cons: None. Take with food and you should be fine. I haven't had any stomach problems taking 50mg of zinc daily. Bottom Line: Try it. It's apparent that the Western diet doesn't contain enough Zinc, so taking this definitely doesn't "hurt" you, even if it doesn't completely cure your acne.

sarah, UK Aug 5th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: works , does not take long to notice it working. easy to use Cons: must be taken with food. Bottom Line: After reading the reviews here I decided to increase my zinc intake from the normal 15mg to 45mg. After about a week my skin is clearer and smoother. I now use a moisturiser with zinc in to at night. Both of these have made a huge difference in my skin!! Recommended: Yes Usage: sarah has used this item for a few weeks.

JoBeth, San Diego Jul 20th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It really works and it's inexpensive. Cons: Take with food, but not with dairy (calcium interferes with absorption) Bottom Line: I started using it after I hit 40 and began breaking out on my chin and chest. It works really well for me. I take 25 mg per day. I also take a multi-vitamin because zinc can deplete copper. Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 5.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

itsmylife, Singapore Jul 14th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Is an effective substitute/alternative to antibiotics without the side effects of antibiotics for acne. Definitely provides more marginal benefits for acne than Proactiv. Cons: It works very well for some, moderately well for most others, no effect for a few others. Bottom Line: In my opinion, I think the conflicting results are due to those who doesn't have much relief from acne not taking note of certain things when taking zinc supplements for acne treatments. I have written and summaries all the things possible that you need to take note for zinc acne treatment. Zinc is a promising treatment for acne. Don't because of the following points as stated below, you conclude that it doesn't work for you. [link removed] Recommended: Yes Usage: itsmylife has used this item for a few months.

Heather, Canada Jun 10th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Clearer skin. (50mg of Zinc) Cons: Have a hard time swallowing the tablets; have to crush it up the tablet with spoon. Bottom Line: Although I despise the tablets (I only wish they came in capsules!), zinc works wonders. Ever since I've started taking it, my skin has improved a lot -- and I only started taking it a few weeks ago. I only wish I knew about it sooner.

B, FL May 28th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Bottom Line: I had severe acne and had used all topical and oral medications except Accutane. I started taking 50 mg of zinc gluconate along with a Centrum multi-vitamin everyday for the past 6 weeks...and I don't get cysts anymore. I use a mild glyerine cleanser and that's it - all BP and SA products make me break out more!! I have only mild acne now so I'm very excited about that! Recommended: Yes Was this comment helpful?

Bottom Line: After reading so many positive reviews, I was hoping zinc would help. I religiously took 30 mg of zinc every morning along with my multivitiman that contains 15 mg of zinc. After two months, I have seen no improvement. My skin has become much drier. I use to just apply moisturizer in the a.m., but I've had to use it in the p.m. as well and skin is still dry and flaky. I've stopped taking the extra zinc and am just continuing with my multivitamin. Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 5.00 Was this comment helpful?
