Cons:
depending on the brand i buy, i sometimes get fish oil burps, but you can buy ones that totally eliminate them.
we were originally forced to take fish oil pills for our division one rowing team, as fish oil is a natural anti-inflammatory. i didn't know that it was good for your skin, but since then, my face has cleared up a lot. its not completely perfect, but i have only been taking the pills for about a month, so maybe i will see more results later.

Pros:
Works very well. It cleared my skin in no time, and is continuing to be effective six months later.
Cons:
Considering the amount I take for the maximum effect, the price can add up, usually about $20 a month, which combined with my other supplements is kind of a lot for me. It's worth it though.
Omega-3 fatty acids, especially those from EPA and DHA like in fish oil, are good for just about every aspect of your health: acne, skin, hair, heart, brain, insulin sensitivity... Probably the most helpful thing I've taken for my acne.

Pros:
Works wonders. It had indirectly helped heal my acne.
Cons:
None for me. Though its likely that there will be a little excess gas being made, when you first start taking the supplements.
Its GLA (gamma linoleic acid), an Omega-6 fatty acid, that is really helpful for acne. Look for a product high in GLA. Borage Oil is high in GLA.

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.

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.
