Pros:

Cheaper supplement, easy to take. Helps with appetite, constapation! - Gone

Cons:

Acne returns, especially around hairline and nose. Feeling slightly too hot, flushes have returned! Supposedly a milder estrogen?

Helped with blood sugar levels and bloating/constipation, therefore beneficial for IBS, even possibly endometriosis, as inflamatory action..still thinking about this one though. Think if you are female 40plus experiencing symptoms of estrogen dominance, stay clear! Not helpful for acne rosacea. Read that lipase supplement maybe beneficial for those suffering with acne rosacea;- However digestive enzymes may help when;-supplementing with EFA's if acne occurs. possibly larger doses of HCI if flaxseed/fish oils cause breakouts? Must say since taking a broad spectrum digestive enzyme, acne etc. has improved... Bottom line: Look after your liver!

Pros:

My skin has become softer, and less breakouts.

Cons:

The capsules are quite large.

A woman at the spa recommended flax seed oil capsules to me and she said : The bacteria (acne) feed off the oil of my skin or.. "the taste" of my oils, and taking flax seed will tone down the flavors which will decrease breakouts. And it definitely have, i see a decrease in breakouts, but i also eat a lot of tuna, and green veggies which helps with skin. I suggest it!

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:

Im not sure yet- I guess there are a lot of health benefits to it

Cons:

The taste is yuck!

I have been taking it for less than a week, and I have broken out really bad. I don'tknow if this is due to the oil or other reason??! Im reading mixed reviews and am hoping it will help to clear up my terrible acne and scars soon ;-(

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!

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)
