Cons:
made me stink and did nothing for acne. a waste of money
don't bother
October 4, 2007
Pros:
The only thing that cleared up my acne! Cheap, too. I buy the bottle of 90 pills for $8 from Trader Joe's.
Cons:
Fishy smell and fish burps from the pills can be avoided by putting the pills in the freezer.
I've tried everything and this is the only thing that has worked for me!
My #1 recommendation: BE PATIENT. It took me 3 months of consistent use to see results, but it was totally worth it! I don't even wear foundation anymore - I'd been wearing foundation 24/7 since I was 13: I had to! Looking back at old pictures from 4 months ago, I don't even recognize my skin.

Pros:
This is the ONLY thing that has worked for me! It's not too expensive, easy, and accessible to everyone w/out a prescription. I have tried everything over-the-counter and seen 3 dermatologists without success. I only wish I'd found this sooner!
Cons:
It can seem a little pricey compared to other vitamins, but if you buy the Trader Joe's brand like I do, you get 90 pills for about $8.
To avoid the fishy smell of the pills and/or fish burps, I recommend putting them in the freezer.
The #1 recommendation I have is: BE PATIENT.
I was REALLY skeptical. I've had acne for as long as I can remember, have tried everything (prescription, OTC, and diets), and nothing worked.
I already knew about the other health benefits of omega-3's, so I figured they could only do me good.
I've been taking the pills for 3 months now and I'm only just now starting to see the real benefits. For the first 2 months my skin looked the same if not worse, but I stuck with it and my skin got better. I used an aspirin mask to deal with any break-outs.
But NOW - now that it's been 3 months, I am amazed! It's that time of the month (usually my WORST break-outs) and I only have 2 tiny zits. don't even wear foundation anymore - I don't need to! Looking back at old pictures from 4 months ago, I don't even recognize my skin.

Pros:
It has definitely helped my dry skin... my face was pretty bad all my life and now I actually have a reason to wash it. I don't mind washing off healthy skin oil versus scrubbing off dry skin.
Good stuff for skin and body imo. It was reccomended to me for my weight gaining (healthy weight gain) diet and I've noticed a dramatic change in my dry skin and hair.

Pros:
Very Beneficial
Cons:
Not noticably great for acne
I've been taking this for so long that I am not sure if it has any effect on acne. But, what I do know s that Omega-3 is one of the most beneficial nutrients out there. It has been linked to preventing cholesterol problems, heart disease, arthritis, Alzhimers, depression, and even violent tendancies in one study. The US Institute of health has evidence for over 30 benefits of fish oil, and more are being discovered every day. So, you should take it.

all
does nothing for acne

Pros:
Doesn't taste like anything, can find it on sale, you feel healthy taking it. Helps the rest of your body, with the omega-3, even if the acne didn't improve.
Cons:
I've taken one fish oil capsule with dinner and have gone through a whole container already, (that's 120 days!) hoping my acne around chin and mouth would disappear, but no such luck.
try it. if you don't eat a lot of fish or nuts, it's important to get the good omega-3 your body needs. For you it may work, you won't know until you try it.

Pros:
Moisturized my paper bag dry skin.
Also softened dry patches on my legs.
Cons:
Greasy of course.
Cheap brands smell like seaweed. I use Nordic
Naturals cod liver oil gel caps which are filtered and have a lemony scent.
For me, I give vinegar the credit for keeping the
zits down, but the fish oil definitely helps.
