Cons:
-Did nothing for redness
-Didn't really help acne at all
I've been taking fish oils on daily basis for nearly 3 years and I can tell you they won't be the miracle cure for your acne, I went on them for my eczema as well as hearing about the benefits for acne and honestly they didn't help either so really don't bother taking for them for help with acne, I just take them for health reasons now

Pros:
Probably good for you
Cons:
Broke me out in cystic acne(NOT NORMAL)
After a few days of taking fish oil I broke out on my chin in FOUR cystic acne bumps! I mean really FOUR. Right next to each other. It was painful, ugly, and I am still recovering. I'm sure this works for some people, but not me.

Pros:
-Healthy glow to skin
Cons:
-Made me breakout
I am 26 years old and I read great reviews on here and other places that Fish Oil is the secret to have perfect skin. I would get about 2 to 3 pimples a month that were controllable and easy to conceal. After a few days of taking Fish Oil, I broke out like I never have before and in odd places. But I decided to stick with it because I thought that it was my skin purging and they say to give it three weeks. About two weeks into my new regiment, I developed a large cystic pimple on my cheek. I have not had one of those in three years. I decided to halt taking Fish Oil because of this. I tried to give it three weeks but there was no way that I was going to risk getting another cystic pimple. They say that if you have oily skin to begin with it can adverse effects. This might work on some but not all.

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:
havnt had any
Cons:
bad skin
i started taking the fish oil capsules about a week ago, and my skin has never looked worse!! Im 23 yrs. old Im a healthy eater, i haven't changed my diet in the slightest,the only thing that has changed is me taking the fish oils, and my skin has gone out of control. Im never taking them again. It definitely does NOT work for everyone.

Pros:
Easily available
Inexpensive
Cons:
Doesn't work for everyone
Can cause breakouts or worsen acne condition
Fish oil hasn't worked for me. The day I stopped taking the fish oil capsules, big cysts stopped growing and no new acne has erupted. I've tried this on and off for the past year and everytime I add fish oil back into my dietary supplement, the acne comes back ferociously. I'm giving this one up for good. I've followed a suggestion of one of the reviewers on acne.org to drink lemon water, green tea and plenty of water for quicker recovery and this has worked very well (heaps of thanks to that person). I topped up on freshly squeezed orange juice and apple juice with at least 2 servings of other fruits everyday and my complexion is improving. In short, this doesn't work for everyone. You have to try it to see if it works for you.

Pros:
-Gave skin glowy look
-Made skin smooth and moisturized
-Got rid of whitheads and small acne
Cons:
-Made me break out terribly! I only took this for a week but it made me break out in 10 massive cystic pimples on my chin, I usually get one in a week!
-It's supposed to regulate hormones but I found my moods swinging and had a lot of anxiety while taking this
The bottom line is I think this product should not be recommened to those with hormonal acne. If you predominatly get cysts on your chin I would never take this product!! I know my acne is hormonal and I know taking this fish oil is what caused me to break out like I never have before. The cysts it caused were very deep in the skin and extremely painful. As soon as I stopped taking it I had no new breakouts. I believe if you have acne that is not caused by a hormonal disorder fish oil could work, it's beneficial to health and may help some. If you have hormonal acne, please take my advice and stay away from this supplement! Try taking some zinc (50mg a day) and drinking lemon water and green tea, this has helped my skin recover faster from the horrid effects of fish oil.

Pros:
better mood
skin was slightley softer
Cons:
gave me AWFUL breakouts
(see below)
i know its very healthy for you but i took this for a week (i know i shouldve taken longer to see if it was coincidence but i dont think it was) and it broke me out awful. of the seven days i got 5 MASSSIVE pimples that, not to be gross, were very puss-filled and took a while for them to go away because everytime i thought they were popped there was more. im glad this works wonders for some but i didn't for me. and im a 17 year old male

Pros:
Healthy to take
Good for fading acne scars
Cons:
This was really the first product that I've tried (and I've tried alooooot of products over the years) that has made me breakout. I was disappointed after reading some of these reviews.
If it doesn't break you out then I would highly recommend it. Even if it doesn't help your acne, it's still healthy to have daily.
