Cons:
NONE!
I can't believe I am barely finding out about this magic little pill! I am 25 years old and have been fighting oily, acne prone skin for the past 10 years. I also got put on thyroid medication which messed up my hormones and gave me really bad cystic acne. Many days it was so bad that I was in tears and didn't want to leave the house. I started taking this 1 month ago after a friend recommended it and within 3 days my skin went from horrible to beautiful! I really recommend this supplement. I take the Spring Valley brand found at Walmart. It is the all natural enteric, regular strength fish oil, 1000 mg. (300 mg of omega 3). Hope this helps others out there like it did for me!

Pros:
Shiny hair, strong nails, and glowing skin! Reduces acne a LOT!!! It's cheap!
Cons:
It's a little hard to remember to take them when you first start.
I have had acne for 9 years; I tried everything from proactiv to TONS of over the counter acne medications, and natural remedies. I am 19 and my hormones are going nuts causing the most severe breakouts I have hever had and I was beginning to feel really desperate(my face was covered in bumps and itching horribly) so I started doing intense research on acne to find out it's an inside thing, not an outside thing. I truly believe regulating your hormones is the best thing you can do for your acne. I have been using gnc lemon flavored fish oil pills for about two months now along with a 30 min cardiovascular workout everyday and my acne has calmed down so much! I have very sensitive skin, I can't moisturize or wear makeup(20 pimple breakout the next day). My skin has improved so much that I have been washing my face only once a day at night with PLAIN SOAP and my skin only has 3 pimples right now and it's that time of the month! Not only has my acne decreased, but the pimples I get now are less red and inflamed, they are whiteheads and blackheads that come right out without any sore created! My skin doesn't itch anymore, it's glowing and moisturized. I really recommend this, if your conecerned about mercury being in the pills, vitamin C kelates mercury out your body, so grab some OJ or eat an orange daily. =]

Pros:
Skin all over body feels extremely soft
Body acne (back, butt, and inner legs) almost completely gone
Blackheads on nose reduced
Pores shrank
Oil on T area reduced drastically (surprising!)
Mood significantly increased
Cons:
Quite honestly I haven't had any problems with fish oil
My results are over a 2 week period of taking fish oil pills. I am so happy with the result and will be taking these supplements for the rest of my life for sure. I have very odd skin, it's dry in places and oily in others, however it seems like these pills have balanced it all out. I mainly have body acne which is so extremely hard to get rid of but this has really helped me. I also cleanse with Spectro Gel which also gently helps to get rid of body acne. Definitely worth a try if you're desperate and are willing to try anything.

Pros:
-Makes skin glow
-Helps keep hair shiny and healthy
-VERY good for your health
-Reduces itchy skin in winter
Cons:
-Didn't do much to clear MY acne
-Fish burps (yuck)
I've been taking 1000 mg super pill of Omega once a day for a couple of years now. I think it has helped give my skin a healthy glow, and my hair is definetely healhier, but I don't see a reduction in my acne. I don't know that there's enough scientific evidence to say it completely gets rid of acne, but it can't hurt to take Omega every day (unless you overdose or take a brand that has mercury or other chemicals in it). It helps the skin stay hydrated and repair itself, so it's good overall and a good thing to add to an anti-acne regimine and healthy lifestyle, but for me, it didn't clear my skin. Just make sure to buy a trusted brand that has pure pills and tests them.

Pros:
Acne is smaller
Acne is less red
Cons:
Fishy taste with cheap pills
Taking 2-3 pills a day with food, and its a great natural anti-inflammatory which helps with a lot of areas on the body including acne. Even cut down on my migraines a little.
April 2, 2011
Pros:
good for cardiovascular health
Cons:
might be bad for acne in men, at least at doses of epa of 1000mg (1g) or higher daily
1g of epa/200 mg dha seemed to make acne worse. found this study showing why high doses of epa (one of the two main fatty acids comprising omega 3 fish oil) may actually exacerbate acne in men. basically, epa lowers platelet aggregation (makes blood less sticky) which is a good thing for avoiding heart attacks, but RAISES testosterone levels as it does so (that's what is meant by the last line about an inverse relationship between testosterone & platelet aggregation.

Pros:
Improvement of mood
Improvement of acne -- almost gone!
Less depression and anxiety
Cons:
Heartburn
For anyone who has not taken fish oil supplements in the past, I recommend starting them up. I have been using Lindberg Ultra Concentrated Fish Oil (625mg EPC / 245mg DHA) for 15 days, and I can already feel a difference in both my acne, and my mood. I have been severely depressed in the past, and I already fee much better than I have felt in months. Fish oil takes time to work, and it's definitely worth the wait!
March 23, 2011
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.
March 22, 2011
Pros:
Easy to take
Many have been the root of my decline in acne
good hair! reverses greying supposedly
Cons:
nothing!
I am taking vitamins and minerals that include fish oil. I have been taking this for a week, and my acne is under control. I have not said that ever. It is awesome. Any skeptics out there, why not try it? It is good for your health and balances out omega 6, bringing the ratio down, and upping the anti inflammatory factor. two words; Do it

Pros:
Helps Cardiovascular Health
Helps Memory
Helps Complexion
Helps Mood
Cons:
None for me so far
Ok, so I have moderate-moderately severe acne and not a very good complexion. I actually didn't start taking fish oil for anything like that, I just started taking it as a supplement myself since I figured it couldn't hurt and i was already taking a cleanse so it couldn't hurt.The kind I've been taking doesn't make you burp so you don't have to worry about the taste or random gross burps. Its been around a week maybe, and I noticed my complexion looking quite nice the last couple days and the one day I skipped taking it my complexion went back to looking not so great. Also, along with that I seem to be in a better mood and just feel better. So while it hasn't cleared my acne its made my skin overall better so I suggest just trying it.
Pros:
Clears up skin fast
No more oily skin
Shrinks pore size
No more cystic acne
Super easy to take
Don't have a bad taste or smell
