Pros:

regular bowel movement

Cons:

made me break out. its crazy

i was having 2-3 pimples during that time of the month so after reading rave reviews about flaxseed I decided to purchase some ( groud flax seeds not oil) so after a month I now have 5-7 cystic pimples on both cheeks. I really wanted this to work but i guess it's not for me.

Pros:

Healthy glow... bowels very healthy!

Cons:

Serious breakout first few days of eating seeds.

I have been eating the seeds for about 2 weeks now and am starting to see some good results. I feel healthier and more energetic too! However, be warned that you may have more spots before it gets better- I had a week of nursing my new 'friends' but thought that it is just my body getting used to the new treatment and hoped that it would improve... which it did! Hallelujah... finally something that works from the inside. Have a go- but remember you may have to eat the seeds for at least a few weeks before seeing good results.

Pros:

Reduced my dry-eye symptoms (I wear contact lenses)

Cons:

Gave me really bad skin

My friend recommended this product to me because I wear contact lenses and find that towards the end of the day, my eyes become dry and tired. I took two capsules a day for 2 weeks. Although I did notice that my eyes felt less irritable, I was also getting really big, painful spots, deep purple and 'cystic'. My skin also felt greasier and I looked awful! It took me a while to realise that the spots began the day I started taking the capsules. I've since stopped taking this product and although I am still seeing new spots, they are smaller and less severe. Never again!

Pros:

Umm its healthy?

Cons:

Didnt do much for my acne.

Its healthy for you but i have been taking ground flaxseed for months and i have seen no difference in my acne so i have now switched to fish oil and will see where it goes from there.

Pros:

Flax seeds

Cons:

miracle

Use ground flax for your acne. It does a miracle for me!!! Never a bump again!!! Forget proactive solution, the problem is not outside of your skin it is inside of your body. You have inflamation in your intestines. Fax seeds help heal that.

Pros:

Cleared my face! Red marks fading slowly, smooth face, no more break outs.

Cons:

none

I take 2 Flaxseed Oil capsules, 1 morning and 1 at night with 50 mg of zinc. All I have now are redmarks left after acne. I also had an oily face but when I started using flaxseed it decreased the oiliness. Might help for people with the same condition. I use nature's made organic flax seed oil.

Pros:

My skin has become softer, and less breakouts.

Cons:

The capsules are quite large.

A woman at the spa recommended flax seed oil capsules to me and she said : The bacteria (acne) feed off the oil of my skin or.. "the taste" of my oils, and taking flax seed will tone down the flavors which will decrease breakouts. And it definitely have, i see a decrease in breakouts, but i also eat a lot of tuna, and green veggies which helps with skin. I suggest it!

Pros:

NOOOOOO. my face started breaking out in horrible cysts, and i, stupidly, could not figure out why or what i had started doing differently. i had been taking flax and eating flax cereal for about 2 weeks for omegas.

Cons:

i am pretty sure this in what inflamed my skin.

maybe it works for some people, and i know omegas are good but you can get them other ways. did NOT work for me.
