Cons:
-can cause break outs if certain ingredients are present
when I hurd about this stuff I decided id give it a shot and so I started low and didnt notice a difference, but when I upped it to 10 pills a day I broke out like crazy around my mouth and other places. I latter found out that fish oil with oleic acid and lenoleic acid should be avoided because they cause breakouts.
sure enuf, when I checked the bottle one of the non medical ingredients was oleic acid, so that is likely why I broke out so bad, and probably why there are so many people on this forum talking about bad experiences with fish oil. CHECK THE LABEL, MAKE SURE THERE IS NO OLEIC/LENOLIC ACID. it will break you out!
I have now switched to different pills and they are working great, so be sure to read your label closely.

Pros:

Cons:
None
I got very adult acne as I am almost 50 years of age. I felt so bad everytime I got breakout as I am old even I don't feel that old. Recently, I have got severe acne for the last 3-4 months. I was so deeply depressed. I started taking 2 capsules of O-3 (~600mg) 3 times a day. Like everyone said, I (and you) got nothing to lose. I have been taking O-3 for ~4-5 weeks. Now I do not have any severe acne. Some were trying to break out, but they disappeared within 1-2 days with no pain. I also take zinc complex (Vitamin A,Zinc,and D) just 1 a day. Now I can tell that my skin is a lot better. So I think I have found the right cure for my long suffering from genetic hormone issue. I strongly recommend O-3 to everyone especially one with hormone issue. Please also do not give up taking O-3 with a short period. It may take sometimes to see the good result. Nothing to lose but gain.

Pros:
Cleared up my eczema
I a lot more healthy since taking the fish oil caps
No fishy after taste or "fish burps"
Cons:
I haven't seen a reduction in my acne
Started taking these when I heard how amazing fish oil is for skin. I have pretty bad adult acne right now for the first time in my life. I also suffer from eczema all over my face (around my eyes, on my chin and down my neck) I have been suffering from eczema for the past two years and seemed to be spreading all over my face and at exactly the same time, I started getting sever acne. So I started taking fish oil and within a month all of my eczema as cleared up. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for my acne.

Pros:
Clears your skin
Moisturizes it from within
Reduces redness
Cons:
None
My acne has cleared up and my skin appears to be much smoother. My advice to those who had bad reactions is eat an avocado once a day then, ull get the benefits of the omega 3 fatty acid. Also apply tea tree oil, its said that its just as effective as benzoyl peroxide but safer of course. Ive been using tea tree oil for a while now and my skin has never felt more smooth and looked more clear, it also reduced any redness i had. just apply 2-3 drops onto your skin and apply with either jojoba oil with avocado oil or either or so your skin wont dry out so much, the tea tree oil absorbs deep within your skin it will feel so fresh within minutes.
Also drink lemon water, it will clear your acne right up. For a face mask use a raw potato, it will help brighten your skin, clear your acne scars and whatever pimples you have within days or less.:)

Pros:
you just swallow
smooth soft skin - relief flaky dry skin if you are on acne treatments
natural and no side effects if used correctly
Cons:
carry them with you as you need to take them with meals
I used to have moderate acne, including alot of painful cystic acne that would last for weeks and weeks. I have very dry skin because of acne treatments, but the fish oil has really helped and I believe it has lightened my scars a fair bit! most who are experiencing initial breakouts is due to your skin purging! Like anything that detoxes internally, you must be patient and also use topical treatments to minimize symptoms. just give it a try, it' natural and you probably don't get enough in your diet anyway. does amazing things for your hair as well

I took another this morning and feeling/looking good already....this has gotta be a miracle, ive tried so much to clear my skin but nothing worked till now..... I'll keep you's updated...

Pros:
reduces pimples
Cons:
fish burps
constipation
After taking fish oil supplements regularly for six months now, I can say I believe it has helped control my acne. I started taking them around the same time I started using the acne.org benzoyl peroxide treatment, which helped my skin a lot, so I wasn't sure if the fish oil was aiding in any way. Now when I sometimes miss taking my fish oil for a day or two, a few pimples appear. Then, as soon as I resume taking fish oil, they go away. I have alternated with the brands since I began taking fish oil and I haven't noticed if one is better than the other. Right now I am taking the Nature Made brand. The only major drawback for fish oil for me is that I believe it has made my bowel movements irregular. I never had a problem with constipation until I started taking fish oil. But, I haven't stopped taking it longer than a day or two to see if fish oil really is the problem. Instead, I resulted to taking fiber supplements to help with this.

Pros:
It works.... hair is shinier, skin is softer
Cons:
it took me almost 2 months to see result. Have to be really patient as acne does NOT develop in 1 day or 1 week.
Fish oil has been working really great for me. One important thing is that you have to take fish oil that is free from mercury, lead, and other contaminants. I really recommend Carlson's super omega 3. You can find it at whole food or online. It's a little bit more expensive than other brand, but it's totally worth it. I take 5-10 pills a day depending on what I ate that day. Also take Magnesium at nights or during the day. I realize that stress plays a really BIG role in acne. you can't expect your acne to go away if you are not happy, relax, and constantly in pressure even if you take 100 pills of fish oil a day. Magnesium can help you calm your body and mind. Whenever you feel stressed, remind to yourself that it will only make your acne worse, be happy instead, watch funny movies. Most cases of acne are because of stress Because of this routines, my acne went down from severe to moderate, and I'm very sure that I will be clear in at most 2 more months. Good luc
