I have just recently bought the product and I have been taking the capsule form. I take 4 capsules daily, hoping to see some results soon! Also, I have purchased some Tea Tree Oil. I read that it heal's blemishes on the skin, however, don't put it on irritated skin. I am going to keep taking the flax oil and believing in faith that my acne heals!

Pros:
None
Cons:
Caused huge, sore cystic acne along my jawline and on my back.
I took 1 tsp of flaxseed oil a day for three weeks and got nothing but deep, cystic acne along my jawline and huge sore pimples in the middle of my back (never had any there before!) Oh and I also gained three pounds because of the extra fat intake from the oil. So this stuff obviously didn't work for me. I'm a 30 year old female who has had acne since I was 15 and there has never been a day in those 15 years when I haven't had at least a few pimples or more on my face. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't outgrow acne after puberty. So since the flaxseed caused me to break out worse and gain weight, I'm going back to using the Proactiv Extra Strength kit and drinking one cup a day of Wu Long tea, which seems to help, but I still wish I could find something that would make my face clear since I'm 30 years old!

no cons, this is great!
i took it in capsule form. within 2 days my skin had a radiant glow and i could see some scars/pits in my skin looking evend out. less oily skin. this is really good, and i dont know why people would complain about it, unless their body is allegic to an indgredient in them. i took the omega organic flaxseed oil in the black capsules.but make sure u get the more expsensive stuff. im not that sure about those cheap supermarket brands..FLAXSEED OIL CAPS! REALLY GOOD STUFF GUYS! GET IT! ... AND U FEEL HAPPIER! WANNA BE LESS DEPRESSED AND HAVE GLOWING SKIN? - GET IT!

Pros:
Supposed to be good for me.
Cons:
I'm over 40 and in perimenopause. Within a week of taking just one capsule a day my skin broke out like a teen's, especially on my chin/jawline. I also found that my cheeks and nose were flushing way more often. (I have mild rosacea).
I think it's best for those women in perimenopause to say clear of flax oil. I did research and found it has a stronger form of estrogen than even soy does. (Taking flax oil would be adding more estrogen to those women who are already estrogen-dominant).

Pros:
Good for your general health.
Cons:
Tastes bad.
I have been taking this for about two weeks mainly for psoriasis of the scalp. The amount varies everyday, sometimes I take 4 pills a day, sometimes just 1. The directions say to take 6 huge pills a day, and I just can't stomach that. What have I noticed? Well, nothing. Maybe because I'm not taking enough, but neither my psoriasis or my skin has been greatly helped by this product. I get better results (healing wise) from 500IUD of vitamin E at bedtime, to tell you the truth. I have never really found any supplement that prevents acne, although I have heard good things about high doses of vitamin A (but then you're essentially taking a poor form of accutane, and this is very dangerous without medical supervision.)

Pros:
It really helped to balance out the oil production in my skin. I have noticed great improvements in my skin since I started taking it.
Cons:
The taste is a little hard to get used to, but I take 2 Tbsp. of the highest lignan oil daily and chase it with a drink.
I am an esthetician in a medspa in chicago and I began using flax for it's health benefits. When I started noticing improvements in my skin I started having some of my client use it and I continue to see great results and improvements in their skin.

Pros:
obvious glow in the skin and hair.
Cons:
isn't enough to cure acne alone
i've seen my skin glow inside out. but flaxseed alone won't cure your acne but certainly help with combined therapy (other acne products)

Pros:
Flax seed is so healthy for you, despite what it may or may not do skin wise. I know I am getting plenty of Omega 3's now, which is difficult to consume in today's world.
Cons:
I do not use the oil since I can not tolerate the oily consistency and smell. The capsules are not worth taking since you have to take so many more to equal the value of the oil.
I have been using ground flax seed for the last few months as part of my new regime to take better care of my skin. It is more cost effective and not bothersome to me at all to consume as opposed to the oil and capsules available. I just sprinkle some on top of my yogurt or cereal daily (a total of 1T daily). I drink lemon water, use lemon juice topically, add flax seed to my diet, and follow the cleansing advice from this web site precisley. I have stopped taking my amoxicillan capsules and have mostly clear skin now. I am thrilled !! I am in my late 30's and have had moderate but very consisten acne since I was 13. I had medical treatment a few different times through my adult years. Only antibiotics would clear me up, the topicals were really useless to me. Since I knew I could not remain on medication too long, I felt doomed to have bad skin forever. It is a horrible feeling ! I am grateful and feeling like I have finally let a major worry in my life go. Amazing!! I am not a bad
Pros:
Have only been taking it 3 days.
