Pros very affordable and the tablets are really small
Cons i get side affects from taking Zinc, our bodies react different than others, and it seems my body doesnt like the Zinc because it makes me feel really tired, exhausted and unable to focus
Bottom line ive been using it for 2 days now, i thinks its still too early to se a difference and hopefully my body gets adapted to it, ill keep everyone posted. I Also bought the Zinc topical i read reviews on that one being very effective.

Pros It works, my face is finally completely clear now and I seen results fast, plus its cheap.
Cons I tired taking it once on a empty stomach to see if i could handle it and I was nauseous & dizzy for 2 hours. It was so painful, so take it with a meal. I read if you stop taking zinc for a long period of time then try to take it again it wont work
Bottom line While taking zinc (50mg) supplements for a week, I have not had a new pimple or zit.
When I first ate the pill my forehead had about 10 pimples and I had 8 cysts on my chin. It was horrible. Then I discovered zinc supplements on this review page. That night I ate 2 pills and took another pill and applied it on my face like a mask....the next morning the 10 pimples were gone, the cysts dried up on the 2nd-3rd day and I stopped waking up with a really oily face. During the day my face is not oily anymore either. I ate a REALLY high dosage of 5 pills a day for 3 days....on the 4th day I started taking it twice a day and it still gave me the same benefits. I made the zinc mask and slept with it on 3 times this week.

I love zinc, I tired proactive before, it didnt work for me so i returned it and got my 100$ back, I've had a dermatologist before and I paid 35$ a month. I paid only 11$ for zinc.

I love zinc its the only thing that worked for me :D I'll write another revi

Pros works
Bottom line after turning vegetarian, my face broke out insanely. After a year of trying many topical things i realised it was probably due to the change in my diet. Our body reacts strangely when it is missing out on some vital needs. i've been using it for 2 weeks and haven't had any breakouts. Awesome.

Pros It dried my acne up overnight after i took my first pill...IT WORKS!
Cons none
Bottom line I have had adult acne for years.. It comes and goes..I hate it.. I searched on line for a easier way to control my acne and found zinc..I took 50 mg of zinc gluconate and within the first day i can feel and see a difference in my skin..i have taken it for almost 2 weeks and my acne is healed all i have is a little redness that is fading gradually.. If you are suffering from acne you must try this it works..I saved myself so much money not going to the dermatologists.

Pros 95% of acne has cleared within two weeks. skin is no longer red. i experience absolutely no discomfort from taking them. they're affordable. i feel more vital.
Cons the pharmacist recommended not to take them for longer than 3 months at a time as an overdose can have some side-effects like an increase in the body's copper-production
Bottom line for a long time now i've been looking for a hassle-free way to stop breakouts and improve my skin. i've tried a variety of creams, oils, diets and other supplements...this is the first thing that's really worked for me. and the best thing about it is that it doesn't require much effort at all, unlike diets for example, which ask you to cut a number of diifferent food-types out of your diet. i can't tell you how good it feels not to have to worry about my skin any more!

Pros Works well. Improves skin's overall appearance.
Cons Wasn't overnight
Bottom line My husband never breaks out. I never had any skin problems till I hit my thirties then all heck broke loose. I asked my hubby about 3 mths ago how he has such good skin. He told me it was because of the zinc he took everyday. His brother had acne when he was young and he didn't want that to happen to him so he began popping zinc 20 years ago and takes it till this day. I started taking it as well and at first nothing. But about a month in I started to see the difference and now, with my usual skin regime of proactive, my skin looks really good. I would recommend anyone taking it for overall skin health.

Pros My skin does not hurt anymore! I RARELY have a new breakout in the morning when I am consistant!
Cons If I dont take it with food, It can make me feel sick/dizzy, and I might get a couple new zits.
Bottom line I take two 50mg of zinc every day, one early in the day one in the evening! I take them along with flaxseed oil pills! My skin is so much better, I am now treating my scaring with Mederma!
Price paid $9.00
