| Pros: | AMAZING! In 10 DAYS MY SKIN WAS COMPLETELY CLEAN AND SMOOTH. I WAS MORE ACNE FREE THEN I HAVE EVER BEEN...EVER! |
| Cons: | If you take it on an empty stomach....you can throw up and feel VERY sick. |
| Bottom Line: | I started using it 2 weeks ago. After using it once a day every day for 10 days, my skin was SO SMOOTH and absolutly NO acne. NO JOKE. Also, my skin had a glow, it looked tan, And my cheeks looked very blushy in a cute way. TRY THIS! For the first couple days it doesent seem to work, but just keep using it consistently and in 10 days you will see a difference! |

| Pros: | clears acne, reduces redness, and gives a healthy glow FAST. also great for overall health |
| Cons: | stomach ache if not taken with LOADS of food |
| Bottom Line: | i took 50mg of zinc for the first time last night after dinner and when i woke up this morning my face looks better than it has in months. i also noticed that my chronically dry legs that i have been dealing with since preschool look alot less cracked/ashy. i cannot belive the affect that zinc has had on my skin in only 12 hours. you have NOTHING to lose by taking a zinc supplement |

| Pros: | -May have prevented more acne. I've been getting literally none in the past week(s) or so. -Inexpensive |
| Cons: | -Didn't reduce oily skin. |
| Bottom Line: | I wanted to take zinc b/c i found it helps control hormones, reduce oily skin, etc. It didn't do much for my oily skin. i am currently taking 60 mg, you really shouldnt exceed 100mg. |

| Pros: | Works really well at diminishing pimple size and helps reduce redness. Much less acne after a week or two. |
| Cons: | If you don't take it with food it can make you sick, possibly poop out blood. |
| Bottom Line: | I have been taking Zinc for about two weeks now and it already works great. I would take this for the rest of my life if I have to. |

| Pros: | makes zits smaller, fewer, and faster-healing this took about 3-4 weeks to start working. Then I tried upping the dosage and started getting symptoms of iron deficiency. I'm a long-time vegetarian (borderline vegan), so I think i need zinc. |
| Cons: | can cause anemia if iron absorption is a problem, can cause nausea if taken on an empty stomach. |
| Bottom Line: | 25-50 mg / day may be helpful to those who have a zinc deficiency. These might include vegetarians and especially vegans. Be sure to take an iron supplement and/or eat iron-rich foods while taking this as, over time, it can cause an iron deficiency. If you take both zinc and iron, take them at different times during the day b./c they can affect each other's absorption. |
