| Pros | Cleared up acne a tiny bit Good for Immune System |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I suggest trying as their is nothing for you to lose. Zinc did help my acne a tiny bit, not as much as I hoped it would've. I used it for 3 1/2 months and saw results in about 3 weeks. |

| Pros | Evens out skin tone Speeds up healing process Calms inflammation and irritation Inexpensive Affective |
|---|---|
| Cons | Needs to be taken w/ food or you'll get a bad tummy ache |
| Bottom line | I've only been taking Zinc for about a week, and I am noticing quite a positive change in the way my skin looks and feels. Had a nasty breakout a few weeks ago, and was getting so frustrated trying to find a gentle/natural solution for all the tiny red bumps and irritation all along the sides of my face and forehead. After reading many reviews on Zinc's effectiveness as an anti-inflammatory, decided to give it a go, and am very happy with what's happening to my face! I find that Chelated Zinc works well as it's formulated to adsorb into the blood stream easier. So, if you have very sensitive skin, I recommend trying this form of acne therapy along with Calamine lotion on affected areas (has Zinc in it) a couple nights out of the week. Really calms and softens the skin! |

| Pros | Cleared up my acne for the most part for almost a year |
|---|---|
| Cons | My acne is back and taking over again! |
| Bottom line | I have been struggling for the past year and a half with big, under the skin pimples on my left cheek bone. I started taking zinc and it completely cleared up that area, leaving me with ugly indented scars. About a month and a half ago I started taking chelated zinc and also noticed my skin slowly getting worse. Now, the acne on my left cheek is back, and I am left wondering whether or not it's the chelated zinc or if zinc in general has just stopped working for me. I think everyone should try zinc anyway, but I wish I had an answer for how I can fix my problem. |

| Pros | Acne started to calm after one day, seriously Skin texture and tone vastly improved Cystic acne immediately started to disappear Super cheap - 4 dollars for 2 months supply |
|---|---|
| Cons | Absolutely none. |
| Bottom line | Unbelievable. I literally cannot believe that my doctors never thought to test my blood for vitamin deficiencies. I started to get hormonal acne at 23 and it's gotten worse over the years, I'm now 27. The past year has been especially atrocious, with painful, deep cysts popping up every two days and they wouldn't go away for weeks. I am taking ortho-tri cyclin as well, but my acne turned around the day that I started taking 100mg of zinc in the morning with a multi-vitamen. I've also switched from coffee to green tea, but I'm 99% percent sure that Zinc is responsible for my skin turning around the way it has. If you're having issues with hormonal acne, try adding Zinc and see what happens. |

| Pros | +Easy to take +Cheap +Can buy almost anywhere |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Doesn't do much -Can make nauseous -Hard to remember to take everyday |
| Bottom line | I've taken this for about 3-4 months straight. For the past month i haven't taken it at all. I see no difference in my skin. But hey why not give it a try. May work you if it truly did for others. May prevent colds if anything. *Virtually impossible to know when taking this whether this is what exactly is making your skin clear or one of the other things you're doing to treat your skin. |

| Pros | Slows down acne. Less oil. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Nothing noticeable. |
| Bottom line | I never have high expectations anymore, so I had 4 bucks to throw away and tried 65mg a day (2 25mg Zinc gluconate pills, 1 One A Day's (15mg of zinc in it.) I still have acne over a month later of this diet, and I will say it calmed it the hell down. I still get acne though, and will not stop until it's cured, so I'm going to try Claravis (Accutane). But I'm sure if it helped me a bit, it will help you. |

| Pros | Face is 75% clearer after a week Haven't had any new pimples since I started Cystic acne was gone in about 3 days |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can make your stomach turn if taken on empty stomach. I did it one day and threw up about 10 minutes later. Take with FOOD. |
| Bottom line | I am a 24 year old female who has had clear skin since high school. I did suffer from acne in high school and it just cleared up on its own one day. All of a sudden, it has come back full force! My face was breaking out terribly. I would have a new breakout every day. I even started to get cystic acne. I started researching online on how to control this, and I came across this website where most people had a good experience with Zinc. So I went out and bought it. It has been exactly a week and 2 days that I've been on it and I feel like my face is 75% more clear. I take 50mg of chelated Zinc Gluconate once a day. I also take cod liver oil once a day. Part of my regimen is using a mild face wash and then I put Witch Hazel on my face. I believe the Zinc has been a big factor in clearing up my skin. It's not completely clear but it's much better than it was a week ago!! I was embarrassed to go out in public a week ago and now I don't feel so self conscious. My old breakouts are clearing up, haven't had any new ones since I started the Zinc, scars are healing very fast. So glad I found this and thanks to all the reviews that convinced me to go out and try it =] |

| Bottom line | TRUST ME. You got nothing to lose by trying this. no side effects. Take 50mg per day. And you will see difference. I haven't had a pimple since I started taking this other than tiny zits. This is better than ANY OTHER products, lotions, antibiotics, prescriptions I have tried. You must try. |
