Cons:
None. I stopped using it for a while and actually my skin didn't break out as much.
Besides ALA, diet plays a big of clear skin (well for me) I realize when I pollute my body by eating dairy (cheese and eggs) and even some complex carbs like whole grains, my skin because olily and I start breaking out. By using ALA, I think my body clears out the free radicals and once I maintain a good diet, I am good to go!! I use Twinlab ALA 100mg (2x a day)

Pros:
-u start to attract more attention ;)
Cons:
You begin to notice a difference within the first 2-3 days of taking ALA oral supplements..I'm on my second week of taking 200mg of ALA 3X a day (600mg/day) and my old pitted scars from cystic acne are slowly smoothening and raising up...
it works

Pros:
I read in a magazine that taking 600mg. of Alpha lipoic acid daily reduces acne. Well, I tried it and it works. I actually ran out last week, and within 2 days had already begun to break out again. My face looks wonderful, very soft and young!
Cons:
I read the list of side effects when taking higher doses, but have had none.
Love it!

Pros:
This is a very potent antioxidant and it gives a powerful boost to the effects of vitamins C & E. It also has rapidly reduced the appearance of scars in as little as as 3 days for me.
Cons:
I have not had any adverse side affects. I read that the recommended maximum dose is 180 but I take 200mg Nature's Bounty once daily and it seems to work great.
This supplement is great not only for your skin but promotes inner health and fights signs of aging due to free radicals (cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide, etc..). As you have heard im sure, the healthier you are on the inside then the healthier you are on the outside. Do your research on this product and you will see why I am entusiastic about it. I take Nature's Bounty 200mg Alpha-Lipoic Acid once daily. I also take 6 capsules of Nature's Bounty Fish Oil twice daily (3 in the morning and 3 at night) along with a men's multivitamin. My topical skin care products are Dan Kern's face wash & BP gel. I moisturize with a mix of FOTE Aloe Vera Gel and Dan Kern's moisturizer. I only apply BP at night time.
Pros:
OMG, this works like a charm! I hate to be dependent on external items but I just realize my body needs whatever it needs to be healthy. If this is something that I need to take long-term, then I will.
