Anonymous, usa Jul 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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 Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a day or two.

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.

fionn, ireland Jul 24th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: reduced acne flareups, better than tearing ur face off with cleansers and spot creams, just a little bit of soap everymorning and evening. Cons: tummy a little upset the first day Bottom Line: have been taking zinc tablets for three days now and to treat cystic spots and it seems to be working a treat recommended highly.

Alyssa, VT Jul 11th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months.

problemsolvr, Nebraska Jun 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Have taken this for 2 weeks now and have not noticed an improvement. It hasn't made me nauseous in the least, tho. Maybe I should take more than 100mg then... Cons: None Bottom Line: Hasn't worked yet. Recommended: Yes Usage: problemsolvr has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 4.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

megan, wisconsin Jun 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: dramatically reduces oil, smooths out skin's texture, begins to eliminate blackheads within a week (for me at least), reduces redness, stops breakouts --taking 75 mg/day Cons: none so far Bottom Line: i have had moderate acne since i was in junior high. my acne isn't severe or cystic, but lots of breakouts. forehead always covered in bumps, red pimples on my cheeks, and obvious, clogged pores on my nose, forehead, and chin. it has been persistent and nothing i've tried has made a difference for more than a week. i'm going to a dermatologist for the third time next week, but am now rethinking this after starting on zinc. i can't believe how much my skin has improved...in just a week! it is now so much more smooth, and 90% of my acne is gone. all of my red scars are also going away. another big thing is that my skin does not get oily in an hour anymore. before i had to blot my skin at least 8 times a day and reapply powder. not anymore. not even once a day. all i can say is that it's worth giving zinc a shot. for a few bucks, what can it hurt? i didn't expect anything out of it and look where it got me. i'm thrilled!

jhan, Ontario Jun 12th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I've been taking 50mg daily, and I began seeing results in about a week. It's been two months and most the hyperpigmentation is gone, and I don't get red, inflamed acne anymore (had mild-mod) Cons: I still get clogged pores- so it's not like my skin is flawless. also, if I don't take it right after a meal, I get nausea. Bottom Line: Worth a try for inflamed acne, I still have clogged pores but it's not something that's obvious for anyone other than myself. Also, before when I'd squeeze out a clogged pore, it'd become an angry pimple- not anymore, I guess thanks to zinc's anti-inflammatory properties.

emilyy, ny Jun 12th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: this works greatt! i have had severe acne since 5th grade and tried everything. my doctor recomended me to take zinc for my immune system and i am now in 8th grade i have been using zinc for 2 weeks and most of it is gone! Cons: it can make you feel sick if you dont eat it with food. Bottom Line: if you arent happy with your skin buy this product. but if you are happy with your skin it would be a good idea to still take it to maintain your skin. and zinc unlike other products gets better right when you start using it. it doesnt get worse.
