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:
good for joints and depression
Cons:
does not make anything better or worse with my acne
take it daily
April 11, 2007
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:
great for prevention of cancer; oil mixed with cottage cheese and lemon tastes great
Cons:
immediate breakout on chin and nose
will continue using it for a month and will write back the results then
May 22, 2009
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!

January 12, 2008
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!
December 19, 2007
Cons:
I had been taking Flaxseed oil capsules for about a month and developed a rash just below my belly button. It appeared to look like fire ant bites and very itchy with a white puss center. I have stopped the flaxseed oil, but may try another brand
I still believe in the flaxseed oil, but may not be able to take it myself.
September 28, 2007
Pros:
Although it did not clear up my skin completely (Ive only been taking it a week), it DEFINATELY showed some results! I would have to agree with a lot that my skin is about 80% clearer.
Cons:
I have the oil and need to mix it with yogurt or I cannot take it. I tried just drinking it and gagged :/ . The yogurt works well with me.
I have had problems with my skin for as long as I can remember. My skin has lots of little bumps and I started breaking out on my neck and so I figured Id give flaxseed oil a try. DEFINATELY worth it! It has evened out my skin and there are no more bumps on my neck and as a woman, I dont have to wear powder cover up anymore!!! If you are skeptical, please just try it, it will work!
January 4, 2009
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:
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..
