| Pros | makes skin glow (as a result of it being more flush), acne takes 10x less time to heal |
|---|---|
| Cons | made my skin extra sensitive around the eyes, still have some acne |
| Bottom line | I love finding holistic cures for my acne. I'm taking zinc with fish oil, vitamin c, and a multivitamin. unfortunately, my multi has 11mg of zinc and then, i take 30mg in the morning and night. i plan on cutting down to just 50mg once i finish this bottle. i've only been using this for a week, but i can already tell that zinc has brought out all this under acne that i knew was always there, but well it just brought it to the surface -- and with a vengeance. again though, my acne heals so much faster with this stuff! i'm excited to see what will happen once this under acne heals. reading these reviews made zinc sound like a miracle cure, so i felt i should just tell you all about my beginning experiences. on another note, i have also heard that taking zinc with fish oil is one of the best combinations for acne, so read up on that as well. good luck! this stuff is definitely worth the try. |

| Pros | clears skin fades red marks shrinks pores & dries up oil |
|---|---|
| Cons | nothing |
| Bottom line | I have never reviewed anything on here before and just joined, but I had to review this because it's like the greatest miracle discovery ever. I've had acne issues since I was 17, and the first time around, Proactiv fixed it beautifully, for about 4 years. When I was 21, it came back again really bad, and so I went to the dermatologist and nothing from them worked. So I got the Proactiv advanced and it worked again, for about 1.5 years. Then awhile ago it started to come back really bad, the really huge painful kind that took weeks to go away. I tried antibiotics and various skin care systems, including proactiv, suki, befine, and nature's gate, and nothing has worked for over a year. I finally narrowed it down to hormonal acne, and read somewhere about zinc. So I tried it, and within 2 days, my skin was clearing up. It's now been about 2 weeks, and it looks way better. I don't get any more huge painful ones and the red marks are starting to go away. It does dry out my face a little bit I think, but my skin is looking almost normal again. I take it with fish oil with my dinner every night. The combination has worked wonders for my face and the fish oil seems to be balancing out my hormones as far as my moods go too. It apparently is a natural anti-depressant and I feel a lot more emotionally balanced since starting. I definitely recommend anyone to try it. |

| Pros | Not only good for skin but great for the immune system |
|---|---|
| Cons | can be upsetting to stomach |
| Bottom line | For those who get sick after zinc or other vitamins, try taking with food; many vitamins and minerals are fat-soluble and having food in the stomach will make all the difference |

| Pros | It has made my skin really smooth! My skin was oily and had alot of pores and it has dried up the oil and made all the pimples i had totally flat. Now when i put on foundation no bumps! :D It didnt make me sick because i used chelated. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None. Except it didn't get rid of the few marks i have but i can use something else for that. |
| Bottom line | Anyone looking for a cure should try zinc! I take about 60mg before i go to bed and when i wake up any pimples i had have gone flat and it looks so much better. It took two weeks for me to see great results. also had gotten rid of any problems on my shoulders or back etc. |

| Pros | Has really worked amazingly well. You can eat it with food, unlike most antibiotics. I've found I don't get sick or sore throats, even when I feel I'm about to |
|---|---|
| Cons | it can be upsetting to the stomach if you don't take the zinc with food, or if you take more than 30mg of zinc at once |
| Bottom line | I take 30mg of chelated zinc gluconate (I can only attest for this types effectiveness) twice a day. It has reduced my acne by 85%. I use a camera to take a picture of my face everyday after I get out of the shower so I can objectively follow how well it's worked. 60mg of zinc is a little higher than I'd prefer (though after a month I haven't noticed any negative effects) so next month I'll reduce my intake to 45mg. I saw no reduction in acne after two weeks (so it's a shame for those people who stopped after a week or two because they saw no effects), but by the third week I noticed a reduction by about 50% in pimples, and then by the fourth week it was down to about 75%. Residual red spots are still there but they are fading. Overall zinc has been a priceless find for me. I hope it works as well for you |

| Pros | Cheap! |
|---|---|
| Cons | None that I have to complain about. |
| Bottom line | It has really cleared up my skin. I had tried several different acne treatment systems and none were giving me the results I wanted, but I started taking Chelated Zinc to help strengthen my immune system, and I noticed my skin was become visibly more radiant, it's been a lot less oily, and my pores aren't as noticeable! I love it! It's definitely worth a try! |

| Pros | clears up acne, cheap, |
|---|---|
| Cons | it's a pill? you have to swallow it. |
| Bottom line | just go out and get some. 50mg a day worked for me. I started taking them at the same time as I started using tea tree oil so it's hard to say if the zinc is contributing to my improved skin. I like to think that it is! It's worth it. a few buck at most for 100 tablets. Apparently, good for immune system! nice! |

| Pros | cheap, natural, also good for immunity and other body components |
|---|---|
| Cons | needs to be taken on the long term-- doesn't work within a few days or weeks; give it at least one month |
| Bottom line | Many people expect vitamins and supplements to be an INSTANT fix-- it's not. Give it time. Make sure you take zinc on a full stomach. Otherwise, you will get very nauseous and potentially bad stomach pain. Do not exceed 50mg in a day but ask a pharmacist for what dose is right for you. |
