Thanat0s 0 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If you had to choose between the two, Fish Oil easily. But there would be nothing but benefits in taking both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aasaalhum 0 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 well, no...but i want to try one first so i can see if it does anything for my acne...and then try the other. i know both have their benefits, but i just want to see if either affects my acne. i don't want to start both, see results (potentially), and then not know what did it.

jksl 1 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Well, if there isn't much in the way of omega 3s in your diet from animal sources, i'd go with fish oil first. Avoid the cheap and dirty Walmart or Costco brands and buy some quality fish oil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xboxfreak 0 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Start with fish oil. It is good for your body and heart as well as skin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aasaalhum 0 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 okay great, thanks guys! i saw some fish oil at walgreens, and the pills were effing HUMONGOUS. i don't think i can swallow those behemoth pills! i'll try, though. i've never really taken supplements before, so i don't know what brands are good and what aren't. suggestions? are puritans pride ones any good? because they have a nice sale and i also wanted to try their "zinc for acne," so i figured i'd save on shipping because i haven't seen zinc for acne anywhere in stores around here.

LadyWillow 0 Share Posted September 18, 2009 My mom made me take fish oil as a kid and I just started it back up again. The Fish Oil is overall really great for you. I take zinc also, and my skin has recently improved after taking it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
