e173 0 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I have been using fish oil pills for the past 3 days, and its working wonders! i use soft gel pills, Salmon Oil, just drink a glass of water with them, and try to cut-out all deep fried foods, and have less suger/fat my skin doesnt only look better, it feels smoother, and less.. "grey" i highley suggest fish pills to anyone, FYI: my skin wasnt oily, now it feels more smooth.. im a guy i think my acne is in the family, both parents had bad acne i also feel less depressed... try reading up on fish oil, it balances hormones or something i think.. if you have oily skin already i dont suggest this, but i have heard of this having sucess for oily if you have REALLY oily skin, i say try the ketsugo spray, or take 10mg or B5 a day good luck everybooody Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa 0 Share Posted November 18, 2002 How many MG are you taking and how many pills per day? Also, where did you hear that fish oil helps acne? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zitqueen 0 Share Posted November 19, 2002 isn't fish oil like vit A? which is what accutane contains? i heard that if you take fish you should also take acidophilis along with it since the fish oil may kill some GOOD BACTERIA and acidophilis replaces it. also a while ago i went to the vitamin shoppe and there was someone there that recommended "twinlab's dale alexander's fish oil skin formula" along with "nature's plus' primadophilus bifidus" it worked like a charm. and so after a while i thought i was cured so i stopped and for a while i was clear...so much so that i've forgotten about the oil. i have an acne kit some one gave me so 1st i'll try it if it doesn't work i will def do the oil combo!

the helpful chap 0 Share Posted November 29, 2002 You guys should really read the book I keep banging on about as it contains answers to all your questions. See the thread = "Think about other vitamins too". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
njacobs 0 Share Posted November 29, 2002 The inacurracies in this thread are laughable. Fish oil, or Omega 3, has nothing to do with "good" or "bad" bacteria! If you believe that 3 days of fish oil pills will produce any noticeable effects, then I have some prime swampland in Florida that I'd like to sell you. You are better off reading the book that Helpful Chap recommends. I supplement my diet with Udo's Oil. It has a balance of Omega 3, 6, and 9. I primarily use it to help control my cholesterol. From my blood test results, I feel that it is helping. Can it help your skin? As far as I know, there are no studies that show that "fish oil" will help control acne. I can tell you that it didn't make my acne worse. My skin is pretty good now, but I have been taking the oil supplement for months, not days. I use two topical meds to keep my skin in check, and IMO, they are responsible for my success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
