Helpful in reducing inflammed joints
Pros:
Helps joints
Cons:
Burp up the tatse of smell of fish. Even the ones that are tasteless you will burp up fish all afternoon.
Expensive to get the good ones
I used this product while I was on my accutane course back in 2012. It really helped with my joints. Being on accutane all your body's natural oils stop producing. So yay joints in my knees and ankles really were inflammed and this helped a lot and took away a lot of pain.

Pros:
Helps Joint pain
Help eye dryness
Cons:
Huge pills, can be hard to get down
If you don't get the odorless or burpless pills you will taste fish in your mouth all day long, pretty nasty
Been a lifesaver since starting Accutane, I was having sore joints and after 2 weeks of taking this supplement my joint pain went away!

Pros:
better skin - less bumps and looks more healthy
less redness
Cons:
price (should stay away from cheaper pills)
high dosage requirement = long term health risks
taste = yuck!
After doing a bit of research and comparisons on the market of fish oil, I decided to go with a moderately priced but vegan option of omega3's and 6's. It's NutraVege and it is an omega 3&6 supplement that is derived from plant base life. Not gonna go into details, but basically you're just taking in what fishes eat (sea plant life...etc. but they eat a lot of it and produces fatty acids). Considering that if I were to take fish oils for an extended period of time as well as at a higher dosage, I figure that it is worth while to invest in a vegan option which may potentially cut out the risk of accumulating nasty chemicals from fishes. I also wanted to do away with the gel-caps so I opted for the oil. It tastes nasty and naturally, feels like downing a spoon full of oil. But it has definitely improve my skin texture, glow and reduce redness. I've been taking this in the evening either before or after meal. Oh yeah, and I do burp with that nasty taste, but it beats having bad skin. I actually took only half the recommended dosage. But it works for me.

Pros:
Easy to take, clearer skin within two weeks time, no new breakouts, more energy, has a lot of other positive health effects
Cons:
Won't help very much if you have a greasy or unhealthy diet, also won't help if you only use that as your way to handle acne. Doesn't work for everyone.
A relative told me about fish oil and how their acne cleared up after using it. I though hey, I'd give it a try. Two weeks into it, I really started noticing my new lack of pimple formation. Granted I still had a few scars from previous zits, I was still very happy about the effects that it gave me. Also, It's good for the heart and a few other things. For the people that it didn't work for, it may be that they are only using fish oil as a treatment for acne (which unfortunately doesn't work) or they have bad luck or bad skin. I'm sorry. It worked for me though! :)

FO caplets = BAD, eating fish = GOOD
Oily, hormonal-acne skin. So years ago I was taking fish oil *caplets* for my health and I think (though not sure) that the caplets were causing some cysts because they stopped forming once I stopped taking the caplets. And a family member said the caplets made their skin very oily. If you read about fish oil caplets, some would say that the oil is of inferior quality or is even rancid and thus could be causing acne... HOWEVER! I started eating fish everyday (herring, sardines, occasionally salmon - NOT the big mercury fishes) and it does not cause acne, and instead I think it helps my skin! One day I visited Little Tokyo LA and ate of nothing but sashimi/sushi that day and the next day my skin was glowing. So, fish oil helps but not as caplets, but as actual fish!

May 1, 2012
Pros:
Soft hair
Supple skin
Better mood
Softer skin
Cons:
No drastic improvement
I didn't really expect for this to completely clear my acne but it has made my fluffy disaster of hair tamer and it has made my skin a bit more glowing and soft (except for the acne) I haven't been taking for long but im noticing little bumps on my cheeks are getting smaller. So over all i would recommend this to you if you have dry or combo skin with bumps or if you have fluffy fizzy hair or maybe if you just what to be overall healthier!
June 11, 2009
Pros:
Softer, smoother, hardier skin; shinier and stronger hair and nails
Cons:
Fishy burps, not a cure-all
Adding this supplement to my routine made my skin way more tolerant to the topicals I use, so I can "abuse" it a lot with SA (2x daily) and ACV (also 2x daily) without irritation, whereas before, using SA 2x daily, no ACV, would often cause my skin to be very irritated. It also added a bit of a healthy glow, and has some nice side effects on your hair, fingernails, and apparently brain function. I wouldn't use it to replace a regimen, but it's a very helpful addition! (I marked myself as very light, though without any treatment, I am moderate/moderately severe. 'Course, that's been awhile now, so. :) )

Pros:
Affordable, good for your cholesterol and cardiovascular health
Cons:
minimal effect on acne.
Have been taking fish oil for almost a year and a half now. I have done both small doses, 4 pills a day, and large doses 10 pills a day ( 2.0 EPA). Unfortunately, I have not noticed substantial benefits acne-wise. Might provide minimal improvement, but I personally do not believe it can have much of an impact on acne.
Pros:
Skin is glowing, nails are thicker and grow faster, hair is shinier, and acne is fading (!!!!!!)
