Pros:

Great. abosolutly. i started taking flax seed oil capsuls when i started working out heavily again. along with a good multivitamin and salmon oil. my face had been clear for a while and i wanted to see exactily what the flax was doing. Turns outGreat

Cons:

None. the capsuls are just fine. no rashes or any of the wierd stuff people are saying.

Less acne and a good price. And with so many other health benifits why wouldnt you be taking it?

Pros:

I was taking flax oil mixed in with my daily protein shakes for the health benefits. A few weeks later I noticed my skin looked and felt great. I even recall saying "mom, doesn't my skin look fantastic?!"...But i didn't realize what was causing it..

Cons:

none. it is VERY good for you.

like i said i didn't realize what was causing it, because i was also taking many other supplements, drinking water and working out a lot. When a job change made it so I couldn't work out anymore, and I stopped taking most of my daily supplements, my acne came back. Just a few days ago i started my protein shakes with Flax oil again and my skin has cleared up. I decided to check online to see if it was a known acne treatment and sure enough!

Pros:

Clears up.

Cons:

My bumps were gone! But my skin turned red and looked like a rash. I assumed that it was a allergic reaction from the capsules. I stopped taking them and in a week or so the redness stopped and I continued to break out again. Oh well.

It was a allergic reaction for me. It works well but it isn't for everyone.

Pros:

AWESOME. I use 2 tspns. internally follwed by water. Also 3 x's a week externally on my face. Very cheap as well. I get cysts 1 x a month and this stops that and I haven't gotten any new pimples. WOOHOO :) just give it a try.

Cons:

None so far.

I take the liquid kind, no the capsules and twice a day. I think it is great. give it a try, at the least just use it as a face moisturizer in the evening before bed and wake up to soft, healed skin. :)

Pros:

healths the skin that does not have spots on it

Cons:

Not really an acne cure, well atleast not yet anyway.

Ive been taking 2tbs a day for the last month and it doesnt cure acne at all but it does even out pores/scars and gives yr skin a nice glow. Im also taking 4 tbs or apple cider 50 mg of zink and I drink 2 cups or green tea a day, also I eat very healthy so could be combination of these things as well, so I guess theres a chance it doent do anything on its own. But on a side note its good for your health so definitely worth a try just for that.

Pros:

My acne slowly went down

Cons:

Redness occured.

I take a tablet from Nature's Cure so I don't have the weird taste. I don't have anymore big bumps but my face tends to turn alot redders almost like I have a rash. You just need a really good diet when taking it. Also read the back. Instructions do help!

Pros:

Gives my skin vigour, and faster healing abilities. My face now produces enough oil, and does so more evenly. Acne seems to subside before it begins (no broken-skinned flare-ups).

Cons:

You have to be creative to include it in your diet; it tastes strangely with sweet foods, and must not be heated.

I'm a dry-skinned vegetarian, so this just plain makes sense. If your acne seems to spring from dis-balanced skin and slowness to heal, try it. I'm glad I'm not allergic! I won't eat non-vegetarian capsules, but really, having something that goes best on salads just makes me eat more healthily. As for non-vegetarians, the price is kind of high, so eating fish with other healthy oils might be more reasonable... but I recommend it to anyone who can afford it!

Pros:

Many! I have many skin issues, and all my scars and bruises healed up fairly quickly after I started taking flax oil.

Cons:

The taste is bad, but I've learned to slide the oil off the spoon into the back of my mouth so that I don't have to taste much of it.

Taking flax oil alone isn't enough. I take raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar (Bragg's) with it. This combo has worked wonders! My skin clears up so much quicker and I hardly break out much anymore! I also have more energy. I made sure to use organic flax oil in the brown bottles.
