Worst Breakout of My Life

I started taking 3 nature's bounty fish oil pills per day as directed on the bottle. I heard it could help acne from various sources. Well......not in my case. My entire face is covered (100's) of bumps and pustules. I only get a few pimples during my cycle. I'm now a full blow acne patient. Had to go to derm to figure out what to do next.

Pros:

Makes skin softer
Improves Mood
Reduces Redness

Cons:

Can severly break you out if taken from poor quality sources.

Not knowing where to start with the fish oil, I simply bought a 5$ bottle from my local pharmacy. After only 3 days of taking it I broke out severly. Deep inflamed zits appeared rather than my [usual] small whiteheads. Deciding to go for a higher quality, I then bought a 16$ bottle and started it up again. Not only did my acne go back to normal, but it actually started clearing up a BIT. Most notabally it reduces redness. This product is in NO way a all over acne reducer. I would recommmend it for light acne sufferers as severe acne sufferers[as myself] may not notice drastic improvement. NOTE : Most omega 3 supplements come with omega 6's and 9's( not a good thing). Try to get the fish oilwhere omega 3's have been isolated as much as possible.

Pros:

Mood stability

Cons:

Broke out in cystic acne

I started fish oil for mostly health benefits but also to assist with my bad skin. First time I was on it hardcore I broke out in cystic acne for the first time in my life. Stopped taking it and it slowly went back to the normal small pustular acne I always had. Tried it again as I hadn't made the connection about the fish oil and cystic acne and yet again broke out in bad cystic acne which takes so much longer to clear and get better. Didn't work for me. Definitely think it makes it worse.

Pros:

Improves Mood

Cons:

Made Acne Worse =(

Fish Oil is said to be good for your skin, your heart and a lot of other things. I took it being 18 and having acne since about 6th grade, and because diabetes and heart problems run in my family. But I couldn't take the bad effects of it on my skin. It gave me severe cystic acne on my face chest and back. But it did boost my moods!

Cons:

-Increased whiteheads
-Skin became more oily
-no effect on existing acne

Well it did not work for me, it did not make me much worse but some of the whiteheads it caused are still there 2 months later and I didn't get them until I took fish oil. Try it for a few weeks and see if it helps you. If it's making you worse stop.

Pros:

Easy to take
Many have been the root of my decline in acne
good hair! reverses greying supposedly

Cons:

nothing!

I am taking vitamins and minerals that include fish oil. I have been taking this for a week, and my acne is under control. I have not said that ever. It is awesome. Any skeptics out there, why not try it? It is good for your health and balances out omega 6, bringing the ratio down, and upping the anti inflammatory factor. two words; Do it

Pros:

Great for heart.

Cons:

Causes severe acne breakout on some people. Watch Out!!

I'm 35, never had an acne breakout as bad as now in my entire life.. I am really concerned and have contemplated seeing a dermatologist. I am thinking of trying a better brand. But I am really sketptical at this point.. My skin on face has gone from normal to worse not better contrary to other peoples testimonies. I use the Omega 3 --1,000 Mg twin pack from Spring Valley. Sold at Walmart. Manufactured by Robinson Pharma Inc. Santa Ana CA. Be care full with the cheap stuff. I may upgrade to a much better product

Pros:

-Fast
-Easy to remember
-Clears acne if patient!

Cons:

-Large pills, scary to take at first

I have been taking 5 fish oil pills each day for about a week and my skin is just glowing! I have not had any new breakouts and my current pimples are shrinking fast. I'm 15, so hormones aren't on my side at the moment, but my skin hasnt looked better since I was 9! Compared to Proactiv and other chemical treatments, the fish oil pills are very cheap, and In my opinion, work even better. Try them!
