| Pros: | works for controlling oily skin in which is the cultprit for acne! Crush 1 & let it dry on your face then leave it on for 30 min. Controlls oily skin. Leavs it soft. Of course you have to add moisturizers. Use Acne Free Sever kit fr walmart. wrk 4 me |
| Cons: | make sure you eat a good meal before taking the suppliment and make sure you take copper with it as well. They coincide together! Do your research! |
| Bottom Line: | I've had a sudden break out! I mean the whole hard core cystic acne and I'm 32! Definately not acne! Crazy! I had this dream about why I had cystic acne. And guess what the dream told me. Food Allergies! Yup. If your acne is not clearing although you wash the heck out of your face and keep it clean no matter what! Well people their is definately an internal problem. Of course my dream told me that I was allergic to a specific type of food,but when I woke up I was like what the heck was it. Well I went through the elimination process of finding out what food I may be allergic to and guess what. I love pasta! I had to be gluten free! or should not eat anything to do with baked goods. So! I also realized that zinc,copper, vitamin b5, acidipholus (prevention from over growth of yeast in body-guess what the culprit for yeast is---PASTA!). My face was hurtin bad and the huge bumps on my face were turning into sores and bursting-DISGUSTING! My face is feeling better now. |

| Pros: | IT REALLY DOES WORK! LESS zits and the ones that do come up are very small. |
| Cons: | you have to remember to take it everyday. |
| Bottom Line: | I had been going to dermatologist since i was 13yo. ive tried everything i even went as far as slushing if anyone knows what that is. everything was temp. i got so tired of the chemicals that make your face red and dry and avoiding crowds because of the way i looked. i got on the internet and researched vitamin deficencies and i found where zinc had some research about a antibiotic property it has so i gave it a shot. i now no longer have any chemicals in my house for my acne. i wash my face every morning and every night with regular soap. and i take zinc every day at breakfast. its my miracle drug. |

| Pros: | I haven't had any luck with this at all. I've read so many good things about zinc but after a month of taking 50mg twice daily I've had no change in my acne. |
| Cons: | Losing hair |
| Bottom Line: | It hasn't worked for me, I guess I thought it would be some kinda miracle pill the way people have described it. |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | clears active acne
no more oily skin |
| Cons: | must be taken with a meal |
| Bottom Line: | zinc is the only thing which has improved my skin (and i've tried so many things). when i take it, my active acne completely clears. i stopped taking it for about 3 days and i started getting spots again. it has also made my skin a lot less oily. I take 4 x 15mg of Chelated Zinc daily, of which 0.75mg of each tablet is Copper. |

| Pros: | - Really starting to clear up acne within a week
- Fading scars like crazy!
- Only have to take one tablet a day |
| Cons: | - Makes you feel nauseous when not taken with food |
| Bottom Line: | I have been using benozyl peroxide for about a year now, with no success. I am still using it but have recently been taking Zinc, for about a week or so. It is incredible! It's really cleared my skin a lot and I recommend it to anyone. REALLY cheap as well. |

| Pros: | allowed me to stop using bp. like others have said, no more cystic painful acne -- zits are little and heal quickly when they do appear. |
| Cons: | none really. only caveat is that you'll need to take iron and copper supplements as well to avoid the hair loss and other ill effects from massive zinc supplementation. |
| Bottom Line: | basically, it was my miracle cure. i use nature's plus time released zinc which you can take on an empty stomach. i take 100mg/day. |

| Pros: | This stuff works! You have nothing to loose. I saw results after only 2 days. It has made my skin less oily and I have gotten no new zits since taking zinc. Also, it has cleared up some existing acne. |
| Cons: | Nothing. I have a very sensitive stomach and haven't experienced anything but I do take it with food in my stomach. |
| Bottom Line: | BUY THIS! |
| Recommended: | Yes |
