gettingbetterallthetime, California Oct 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: My skin has improved so much! Give it a couple of weeks to fully take effect. Cons: It does make your stomach hurt a little bit but after two weeks i didn't notice it anymore. It's best to take it at night with dinner. Bottom Line: I would highly recommend trying 50 mg. of Zinc per day, its so easy but give it a couple of weeks to fully take effect on your skin. Zinc was the first supplement i tried that actually improved my skin. I have since slowly added others. First I added 500 mg of Niacin, then 400 I.U. of natural Vitamin E, and then I just recently added 350 mg Chromium. I noticed when I added the Niacin that it actually made my skin much less oily, never thought that was possible after everything else I've tried!! I buy the Natures Bounty brand of Zinc and (no flush) Niacin. They're very cheap like $6 Zinc, and $7 or $8 for the Niacin. I also use a mild foaming face wash-AM & BP gel at night, that's it. I would say would say I have 80% clearer skin. Recommended: Yes Usage: gettingbetterallthetime has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 6.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Pros: This stuff has actually worked. I've been using it for almost 2 weeks now and i'm starting to see a change in my skin. My acne is not as inflammed as it as been, and my number of pimples have decreased. It also makes my skin smooth. Cons: takes awhile to work Bottom Line: take 50mg of this stuff a day, and your skin will be great! Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few weeks.

Madinah, CA Sep 25th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: CHEAP Cons: Didnt take away pimples/cysts. If you leave it on as a mask overnight you will you see chalk dust from the zinc all over your clothes and pillow. You have to be careful when eaten. Bottom Line: It didnt work. I wanted it to work so bad after seeing all the rave reviews. I had severe acne so I used it for 2 months and 3 weeks, and seen no results. I ended up going to a dermatologist because I was so devastated that this didnt work for me and i had millions of pimples/cysts all over my face!!! The dermatologist helped ALOT... I have no pimples or cysts now masha'Allah, (I use a combination of retin A at night and clindoxyl gel in the day).... but the search still continues for something over the counter, cheaper and natural....

Anna, Chicago, Il Sep 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Dries pimples, gets rid of oils on you face, dries wounds & cuts Cons: none Bottom Line: Im 22 years old, and I have really bad acne. Since I was 14 I have had acne and nothing helped. I tried every acne product I have seen in comercials, god knows Ive tried it all. Not only do I have really bad acne but I have scars from touching my acne and my face was a mess. About 3 months ago my brother told me to try zinc and I did. My face is really clear now.. Right away it started drying the redness in the scars so they were more blended in with my skin, and the acne has dried up, both on my face and on my back.......I do stop using it every time Im completely clear of acne and it returns, so I continue again................... What i usually do is drink a 50MG after dinner once a day, and after a daily shower I take one pill and dissolve it in water on my palm....use just enough water so the pill can become creamy...and rub it on my face, neck, and back.........it really everything out fast...( do it overnight, and you'll see results in the morning for sure).....

Drew, Jacksonville, FL Sep 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Seems to work pretty well. I still have pimples coming out but the redness is almost completly gone. I'm taking 50mg daily so not to overload my body. Use with gentle soap on your face and results are almost overnight. Cons: Makes my stomach a bit ill but it doesn't last long, only a few minutes. Bottom Line: - Easy to swallow. - No unpleasant smell (such as Vitamin B pills that smell horrid!) - Work fast - Not a miracle cure for acne but does help stop redness and breakouts.

Rose, London, UK Sep 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Only cost me 2 pounds! Its easily accessible. Works relatively quickly. Cons: You have to take a fair bit to see results. Bottom Line: After taking it for a few weeks I definitely see results. I take 45mg - 60mg of zinc gluconate each day. Although it is no cure, i still get acne, it is a lot less frequently and also seems to help reduce it and rid it much quicker. If you can get it inexpensively, why not give it a go? Just make sure you stick with it for at least a month before you decide if its working or not.

Kelly, tampa, fl Sep 9th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: No cyctic acne, smaller and fewer zits, that heal faster. Huge improvement. For the first time ever, I feel like I'm in control of my acne, instead of it controlling me. Cons: Must take with food, or stomach upset. 100 mg works best, tried to cut back to 50mg because i'm concerned with long term, copper and iron defeciency. Bottom Line: I've had severe to moderate adult acne since I was in my early 20's. I'm now 44 and still suffering. Years and years of trying to control acne with benzoyle peroxide and salycitic acid, was so uncomfortable, never worked well, and caused premature wrinkling of the skin. Zinc is the only thing that has really helped, I wish I had discovered it sooner. I also have seen a reduction in gray hair, in fact ,I think my hair is getting thicker. I don't get sick with colds and if I do its mild. Also I have alot more energy and no depression. It does not get rid of my acne completely but, it's far less severe and heals quickly. If I don't take it, for a few days, the cystic acne returns. I am concerned now with copper and iron depletion, so i'm going to start supplementing with both, along with Ultimate Omega fish oil. If you are thinking about trying the zinc regimine {you'd be a fool not to} then purchase one with copper up front. Recommended: Yes Usage: Kelly has used this item for a few months.

Bibi, Caribbean Sep 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I've been using it for about 6 days and I've seen a HUGE improvement on my skin. I will continue taking it. I can also take SAW PALMETTO tablets for acne, I'm taking both. Cons: None yet, always take it right after a meal. Bottom Line: It does help to clear your skin. Recommended: Yes Usage: Bibi has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 6.99 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
