Pros:

No pros for me.

Cons:

Developed red and blotchy skin from taking fish oil. Didn't realize it was the the fish oil until just recently. Also made my forehead dry, patchy, red and a bit bumpy. I'm allergic apparently.

I'm allergic to fish oil and it is not good for my skin on my face. Glad I finally figured this out.

Pros:

research says that it is good for regulating mood

Cons:

caused my acne to be extremely red and caused large cysts

it caused cystic acne within a week of taking this. I took this a few years ago along with a multivitamin and it took me a few months to realize what was happening. I really regret having tried this. In the research journals I'm sure they would have encountered the fact that It causes cysts in a significant portion of the population, they should have reported this.

Pros:

None

Cons:

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:

None noticed

Cons:

Worsened my acne.

I am male in my early thirties. I suffered fom cystic acne on my face until my mid twenties, which subsided with the time, though still getting some on my back. I used the Nature's Bounty brand, taking 4 sofgels a day as recommended by the manufacturer for about 10 days. Results - damn, I broke out badly both on my face and back - deep, cystic acne. It hasn't been that bad for years.

Pros:

For me, none!

Cons:

Irritated my skin and caused a big flare-up
Don't take it on an empty stomach, it tastes pretty bad

Wanted to use this as I know it's supposed to have other benefits (brain function, mood etc.) as well as improving acne but it was a disaster for me! Within a week of starting it, I had huge, painful spots on cheeks and jaw (which are now nice red marks). This was after a couple of months with only minor spots pre-fish oil - I also broke out all over my back which is very unusual for me. I stopped taking them as it was the only new product I'd introduced and my skin has calmed down right away. The brand I bought was quite cheap from the supermarket so maybe it was bad quality - I read now that you should get the best quality possible for maximum omega 3 oil content so I would recommend paying more and maybe finding a good brand online rather than supermarket ones.

Pros:

Never really noticed any.

Cons:

Got really bad acne!!!

I started taking it for my joints and got really bad acne on my fac chest and back so forget it. I tried it a few months ago in the summer and thought maybe the heat was causing it but I am pretty sure it is the fish oil.
