Laurie, NJ Jan 8th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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.

Buckimom, Ohio Dec 19th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I read the reviews and decided to try it. I have been using it for about a week, along with other prescribed medications. I have noticed a reduction in inflammation, which is a HUGE issue for me. Cons: I take with food, so I have had no cons Bottom Line: I use this along with my prescriptions. I have been on my prescriptions for quite a while, and in the last day or two, I have noticed a decrease in redness and inflammation. I do not think this would work by itself, but I do think it helps. Recommended: Yes Usage: Buckimom has used this item for about a week.

John, NJ Dec 17th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Great Product! I take 100mg (50mg twice a day) and it has sped up healing, time i actually have pimples, and amount of cysts. Zinc is also good for your nails, hair, and sexual health. I've seen improvements i didn't even expect. Cons: Yes, take it with food. Those of you having stomach and problems with digestion make sure you are taking chelated zinc. It is not a brand just a type thats a little easier on the stomach. You can get it at any drug store. Bottom Line: Zinc will not do the job by itself by any means but it is worth your daily oral intake. Your body in general will just function better. Most preventative flu treatments contain high levels of zinc. I take it in college to avoid the ramped sickness that goes through the dorms. Don't take more then 100mgs. For $4 is worth a try.

Jared, Houston, TX Nov 29th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Gabe, Colorado Nov 27th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Speeds healing process, reduces redness, very affordable. Cons: None for me. Bottom Line: I started out taking 100mg a night before bed and noticed improvements within 2 or 3 days. I reduced the dosage to 50 after a couple weeks and still enjoy the same beneficial effects. It really speeds up the healing process, new pimples last no longer than a couple days, and those temporary red scars clear up quicker. Makes my nails and hair grow unusually fast. I take Zinc Picolinate without copper by the way. I've never had any stomach problems, and I usually eat them on an empty stomach. But until you know how they effect you, best to be safe and eat something with them. I gotta say, Zinc in addition to Fish Oil pills have done more good for my complexion than any more expensive antibiotics or soaps ever did. I suggest giving them a try. Recommended: Yes Usage: Gabe has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 8.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
