Pros:

This product hasn't helped me any.

Cons:

This supplement breaks me out TERRIBLY, no matter if it's the liquid, capsules, grains, etc. I've tried them all as know it's advertised to be "good" for the skin but it's not for everyone. I'm 40* and have skin like a teenager again now.

I will never use again

Pros:

Helped me to be more "regular"!

Cons:

Almost immediate breakouts on face. That's why I came here to check out a possible connection between the flax and acne.

After reading some comments here, apparently it works differently for each person. I don't know if I will continue taking it.

Pros:

It is wonderful- absolutely wonderful for your skin tone. I am one of the most critical people I know and my skin impresses me more every day now that I consume flaxseed oil 2-3 times a day- I hear the term "glowing" regularly from everyone around me

Cons:

Innitial breaking out. Bathroom runs :P

You might experience breaking out, especially in the beginning- if your health is in even moderately poor condition and you eat fast food regularly, don't expect this to be a wonder drug. Adding something wonderful to your sh*t-filled system is like throwing a toilet bleach tablet down the sewer.. not very effective and it certainly messes with the chemical levels of everything now doesn't it. Flaxseed oil is a potent detoxifyer that unless ur contributing to it's benefits by 1. drinking a sh*t ton of water and 2. working out (increases circulation), you are simply wasting your time. Especially if you want it to help your acne because those things are essential to begin with duh. Detoxification takes place at the pores, thusly if you're already full of crap it's gonna come out your pores- your diet is everything. So get good with it and make miracles happen! Our bodies are magnificent machines and you will find that they are very forgiving. HEAL from bad choices, your body will love it

Pros:

Flaxseed Oil helped reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It made my skin much softer and I can tell a difference in the condition of my hair. I think it's great!

Cons:

None

Use flaxseed oil in capsule form. They are easy to take and will make a positive difference in your skin.

Pros:

My mother likes it but I don't

Cons:

The first day I started taking the seed my face felt really oily and weird. The second day my face broke out even more. I know that I should continue to take this product because it may be good for me but I can't bare any more pimples.

I didn't like it but maybe it will work for you.

Pros:

All Natural, Great Flavor, Boosts of energy, Healthy Bowels, Cancer fighter...Omega-3's!!!

Cons:

Seeds get stuck in my teeth...lol...big deal, right?

Cleared up my SEVERE to MODERATE acne. 30 Years old and suffered with ACNE since I was 16. Who knew that acne is from within? Doctors will NEVER tell you to change their diet because if we all ate better & truly focused on how certain foods cleared up our acne and helped us become more healthy, then doctors and pharmaceutical companies would CRUMBLE & go out of business!!! I have been on every kind of acne antibiotic, topical skin creams & gels and even expensive skin care products...NONE worked. It's all about how we take care of our bodies; what we put in will reflect on our skin which is our largest organ. I have had MANY years of IBS - and constipation. Did you know constipation is linked to acne? yes. When our bodies cannot rid itself of all toxins through the bowls on a regular basis, it rids the toxins out through our skin, thus ACNE forms!!! I did an ACNE DETOX for one week and continued to eat well, and I am Finally cured at 30 years old!!!! xoxo

Pros:

I have helped my husband who has diabetes by making this and eating it with him. Works great to lower his sugar but I look ugly

Cons:

I am so broken out that I don't know what to do. I just started thinking what is different??? THE FLAX!!!!!!

I think I will stop eating it with him. Or maybe cut out all other types of oil for a week and see if it is the mix that is causing the break outs.

Pros:

My skin was dry and horrible but after consuming flax seeds for just 1 week my skin became soft and smooth, it made a magic to my skin and i would love to continue eating flax for ever.

Cons:

Nothing actually

Its nature's wonderful gift for health and beauty, but since everyone is different it may show different result.
