Fish Oil

It didn't make any difference to my acne, though my health did get better. If you would like to improve your body, I recommend this, but if you're looking for a over-the-counter oral acne medication, then I suggest not wasting money on this.

I started fish oils a couple of years ago for acne + depression after reading about it here! I was taking it for a good long while, but slowly declined and eventually stopped. Just recently I started again, this time investing in the best quality I could find. So far I'm on day 2, and have noticed an immediate difference. My skin feels moisturized from the inside out, and seems to glow. My lips haven't been as dry/cracked. Some of my swollen pimples are already becoming smaller. My hair which is often tangly is tangle free + silky. Last but not least it really does help w/ depression! I am using Norwegian Gold Critical Omega which was recommended by an alternative doctor. I think another one is Nordic ___ something or other. Anyway, bottom line: I really do feel health comes from the inside out, and you CAN heal your body / life / acne! YOU CAN DO IIITTT! <3

I started taking fish oils 6 months ago and still had breakouts so this is not a cure but my breakouts were bareable! I would take 2-3 capsules a day. Along with my twice a day facial regimen. I didnt think it really worked until I stopped taking the fish oils. My skin is now a huge mess and I finally put together that it must be because I stopped taking my fish oils.. I really dont think it does miracles it didnt clear my face up completely but it stopped my skin from getting really bad like it is now. I get bad face/chest acne and it was under control until I stopped taking it. So if your going to try it and it works you need to keep taking it everyday.

I considered this supplement a double edge sword. I've read other reviews regarding their problems with cyst after consuming fish oil so therefore I was kind of expecting it. Two small cyst that hurts minimally when touched, but it wasn't too bad at all. Now on the other side the blackheads or Sebaceous filaments (not sure which) is reduced significantly. And my face complexion has really beginning to glow. All I did was taking one pill a day for 2 days. I'm very sensitive to stuff like medicine and supplement, I don't know if that got to do with anything. I probably try 1 pill a week. LOL. I would def. give this a try and take it slow and see what happens. Ex. don't take 5-10 pills at first. I also use Mama M2 20% lotion.

I'm rating this based on what I've heard, not my own experience because I have only been taking these for a week. The reason why I'm posting, is to let readers know that I read some interesting things on several web pages on Fish Oil. I read that if not capsuled with an antioxidant, such as Vitamin E, the pills can become rancid, and in a shorter period of time than you might think! They should at the very least be made with d-alpha Tocopherol which although less effective (and less expensive) should prevent the pills from becoming rancid. I suggest spending a bit more in order to ensure protection from rancid oil. Just a warning, because it sounds fishy lol. Just be sure they are also purified, and contain deep sea fish, or have the fish specified. Also, Fish oil just makes sense to me because products that reduce inflammation in the skin are generally good for acne. Many acne sufferers are prescribed anit-biotics, which work to reduce inflammation, so this makes sense. I paid ten dollars on GNC softcaps 300mg per capsule.

It improves the overall condition of your skin but for me it hasn't helped with acne. It is very healthy for your though and there aren't any side effects so I would recommend it to everyone.

I've been taking 2 pills in the morning and 2 after dinner for about a week now, and I've noticed my skin has gotten a lot better. My skin used to be really sensitive and I would be afraid to even touch my face in fear of irritating my skin and breaking out with pimples. I've tried over the counter stuff and benzaclin, and none of it really worked. It did nothing to prevent it and I still ended up getting pimples. After taking fish oil for about a week, I started to notice my skin looking smoother and less bumpy. Even after a week it made a huge difference. I definitely would recommend taking fish oil, it can't hurt and its good for you anyways.

Well I've been struggling with acne for about 15 years. I'm hoping fish oil will completely clear me up. So far good results. I've only been taking this for 2 weeks and feeling positive. I started taking the Nature Made brand. It has 720mg omega 3 in 2 softgels meaning it only has 360mg omega 3 in 1 softgel. Doesn't list the exact amount of EPA/DHA. There may be a lot of fillers. I read for good results you must take in about 3-4 grams of omega-3. So I took 10 of these softgels per day equaling to 3.6 grams/day for about a week. Initially my skin purged in which I expected because I have a lot of acne, the cystic kind. Then towards the end of the week the cysts started to get smaller and breakouts less. Cost me about $10 for 100 softgels. You can buy in a drugstore/grocery store. New week now...I decided to take Arctic Pure Ultra Potency Omega3 Fish Oil. This one I got from a health food store. In 1 softgel it has EPA 450mg, DHA 340mg plus other omega-3 60mg equaling to 850mg of omega-3. WOW!!! So far, I love this one! I only have to take 4 softgels (3.4 grams)/day. My hair and skin feel amazingly soft and skin is definitely clearing up. I hope it keeps doing that. Only bad thing about this brand is it cost me $35 for 120 softgels so I only have a month supply. But It is so worth it. In this brand I believe in better results. The fish oil is molecularly distilled, high EPA & DHA content, and less fillers. For those of you afraid of skin purging, don't be!!! It might last for a week or 2 but once you get past it...you'll have great skin. I'm speaking to myself too...LOL.

Had some helpful effects, but overall was horrible for my acne. Before taking this product I had only had probably 2 Cysts in my entire life, and this made me get them like CRAZY! And they are such a pain in the butt.

I was impressed with fish oil at first. It works well and really cleared up my face. So I stopped taking it for about a week and my acne got a lot worse. Once you start you cannot stop taking it. It is a nice easy way to prevent big pimples.
