Pros:

able to see the result within 1~2 days. works prefectly fine.

well one of my friend who majored in the medical field suggested that taking fish oil daily will clear away your acne. At frist i didnt beleive him, but than 4 days ago i bought fishoil at costco and decided to give it a shot. right now my face is pretty much acne free (no big pimples popping out, only those small ones that go away within a day or two). it works! try it!

Pros:

Works within days. Pimples disappear almost completely. Even texture of skin is transformed.

Cons:

none.

If you have acne problems, fish oil is definitely the way to go. I hate that I figured this out late in life (I'm 28). I started taking fish oil in spring of this year, and my skin has been pretty much pimple free since I started using them. You notice the difference with two to three days. My existing pimples begin to clear up. The texture of my skin was noticeably different; it became smooth and brighter. Sometimes I get a pimple or two during PMS, but it is much easier to treat it with pimple cream. Some people on here are complaining about cost, just go to the vitamin section in Wal-mart. You can get them there for about $8.

Pros:

Reduces amount of breakouts significantly, good for body overall.

Cons:

Annoying to have to take the pills everyday, the cost adds up over time, I plan to get the oil next as it's most cost efficient in the long run compared to the pills, also I'd prefer to take 1 and 1/2 tsps of oil a day compared to 9 pills a day.

Sense I started taking fish oil the amount of inflamed acne I get has decreased dramatically. As opposed to maybe 5-10 active pimples at one time I now have 3-4 at most it's normally about 2. I highly suggest others considering trying this go ahead and do so. Also, I take 3000 mgs a day, which I think is very important, on my pill bottle it says each serving provides 12000 mgs of omega 3 but in reality the nutrition label reads that it's only about 720 mgs per serving (2 pills), hence the reason I take 9 pills per day, 3 with breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. which is annoying and the reason why I intend to get the oil. Overall though I have no intention to ever stop taking these and I am really amazed at the reduction of acne I've seen sense incorporating them!

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:

Clear skin..no harmful chemicals on or in the skin

Cons:

none

I have been battling acne my whole life. I have tried everything and nothing has really worked. I am 37 and still struggling. I have been eating very healthy and exercising and still breaking out heavily. I began the fish oil and was surprised at how well it has cleared up my skin. I have not ever had such good results.

Pros:

No after taste in a one-a-day pill.

Cons:

None.

I have taken Spring Valley brand fish oil caps for about 2 weeks and my skin is greatly improved. I take one pill per day, in the evening after dinner. The Spring Valley brand eliminates toxins and there is no after taste. I really like the results.

Pros:

Clear mind, clear complexion, calming effect

Cons:

Have to remember to take it

I have tried a few fish oil where I got those fish burps (nasty). The cheap stuff tends to lend itself to that. I have bought Costco fish pills and I think the most honest breakdown review of the best fish pills was at: [link removed] They have agood xtend life reviews versus some other popular products. Don't go to the absolute cheapest. You will be sorry and in the long run, you'll be happier with a good quality fish oil.

Pros:

It's great helps with acne and helps prevent breakouts. Another thing for people taking this. Freeze the pills and you won't burp up the oil and take them right before a meal. NO MORE BURPS!!!!

Cons:

none except that they are big pills to swallow.

They help me so much with acne and even if it doesn't help you they are so good for you it's cheap and nutural. All these chemical remedies caused me major irritation but what i find helps best is the naturall remedies and this is natural. to try what do u have to lose?
