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.

Pros:
Fights acne, promotes heart help, and boosts the metabolism.
Cons:
None
Literally cleared my face in three days. Nothing else even came close to working for me, but this did the trick. It only works if you acne is because of hormones. Just hoping it works long term...

Pros:
No more terribly greasy flaky skin.No new breakouts AT ALL. Skin looks glowing and feels so much smoother.
Cons:
Pills are expensive-but worth it!
Battling acne (severe) for over 18 years, tried everything. Doctor did cholesterol check and its low, but LDL was very low she said to take fish oil. Besides increasing good cholesterol, that it helps decrease androgen production (contributes to acne). Tried it and within a few days, I am ecstatic about the results! Never ever in my life has my skin looked soooo good! I also wash with Obagi salycylic acid cleanser at night, put on thin layer of proactive bp before bed, and during day(morn, dinner times) wash with tea tree oil soap to keep oilyness down. My skin looks not perfect but about 80% better, for real. Everyone has noticed and said how fresh and healthy it looks.-me! used to have bad skin. I take Max. Strength Triple Omega 3 6 9 from vitamin world 3 times a day (also has flaxseed oil and borage seed oil in it). I tried to take other kinds years ago, but seriously, quality is VERY important with fish oil, cause the other cheaper ones didnt do a thing before. These are the best!

Pros:
Good for overall health, inexpensive, no side effects, skin is softer and smoother, hair is very shiny, nails are strong, cholesterol is down
Cons:
Occasional fishy burps (haven't tried the freezer trick, and the burps don't seem to happen when I take regularly vs just starting or after skipping doses)
I have been taking this for a few months and have seen a definite improvement, especially with nods. It's not expensive, I got a huge bottle for less than $20 at Walgreens 750 ct @ 1000 mg - that will last several months. I take between two and four of these per day depending on what I eat. I had been considering Accutane but don't think I will go that route now. Advice to those who think their skin gets oiler - it's VERY important to avoid hydrogenated oils or you won't get the benefits. No fried foods, no chips, no cookies... Read the ingredients before you buy things or put them into your body. Hydrogenated oils and trans fats are bad for you in many more ways than acne-related, anyway. Study up on omega-3 and omega-6 oils. Bring down your intake and 6s and markedly increase your intake of 3s and see what happens.

Pros:
The type of fish oil pills that I have tried are perfect and have no bad aftertaste. I've been using Nature Made Fish Oil pills, that I just purchased from Wal-Mart yesterday, and already my acne has been clearing up, within just two times taking it.
Cons:
I bit pricey, but I'm realizing it is worth it. I've noticed it works for some people, and with others it makes their skin worse. I guess it may be too powerful for other people.
This product has worked great for me so far. I know it's only been my second time taking it, but nothing has worked this good on clearing up my skin, and so fast. It works best for me when I take just on fish oil pill a day with a multi-vitamin, and the antioxidant Selenium 200. I know that fish oil pills are good for everything in your body, not just for skin :) so I recommend using this method daily.

Pros:
Brightened Complextion...ALOT
Face is less oily
More energy
Cons:
Didn't really help with acne healing and I've still been getting breakouts
I've only used these for two weeks so there's still time for improvement. The pills make your face very bright and healthy and they also help your heart.

Pros:
Cleared skin
skin not as oily
Cons:
none
I have suffered from acne for several years. Nothing seemed to work permanently.
I tried a liver cleanser for 30 days while taking fish oil supplements. My skin cleared within the first couple of weeks and haven't had any reocurrences. I now take fish oil 2 a day in the evening along with a multivitamin and calcium.

Pros:
So far Everything!

Since I have been taking Omega 3 I have stopped getting acne breakouts I take it 2x a day one in the morning and one before going to bed.
March 5, 2009
Pros:
OMG EVERYTHING
Cons:
Nothing?
I have used just about every acne med on the market. Nothing ever worked until I went to a dermatolgist and she recomended Artic Oils Omega Pure 820, Solodyn, and Ziana gel. I started the fish oil first and it seems to be working the best. After I started using the fish oil, I haven't broken out since!! :D
Pros:
Moisturized my paper bag dry skin.
Also softened dry patches on my legs.
