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:
Relatively cheap in the grand spectrum of skincare products. Easy to use/consume. And WOW it has a ton of Omega-3's in it!
Cons:
The taste is pretty gross, even if you mix it with food.
I think this is great for people who suffer from hormonal acne since flax seed oil balances your hormone levels. My skin is very bright, even hair and nails have improved. I've been taking 2 TBSP a day: I just drink it from a tablespoon and chase it down with a beverage. When I stopped taking it, the breakouts came back. If you've spent a lot of time and money hunting for the best thing for your acne, this is at least worth a try. The added health benefits are a huge bonus as well.

Pros:
Easy to take.
Cons:
Made me break out within a few days. When I stopped the flaxseed, I stopped breaking out as well.
Didn't work for me, but good luck.

Pros:
saw a reduction in acne by taking 2 tbsp per
Cons:
Flax works better for females than males. Females bodies can more efficiently convert the ALA in flax to EPA and DHA. Males may have better results using fish oil instead.
Definitely helped my moderate acne but didn't get me completely clear.

Pros:
easy to take and you don't have to cake your face in creams or take a bunch of Rx pills
Cons:
The taste was a little difficult to get used to, but now I don't mind it at all. I got the lemon flavored from Spectrum.
It really works. Shocking for me since I'm 21 and have been going to dermatologists since I was 11. I've been prescribed everything from differin gel, retin-A, antibiotics and a Dr. even suggested accutane! I used it for about a week before I went to go get a hair cut and the hairdresser and I started talking about acne. She asked me "What are you using for your skin because it looks like it's healing?" This is the first time I had ever met the women and I was elated that my skin was actually making progress and it was noticable! I'm still using it every day. I try to space it out to a teaspoon every couple of hours (3 times a day). I still do get acne, but it's not the enormous cysts that I used to get. They only pop up after wearing makeup for too long or forgetting to take the flax seed oil consistently. I still have to stick to a routine (as i did with clearasil and neutrogena) but I'd rather it be a healthy one, rather than applying chemicals to my skin every

Pros:
I have tried this and find it has great results. After a year of testing vitamins I am now giving to my two teenage children too.
Cons:
Have been told capsules don't work so well but I found them ok but now changing to oil.
I have dedicated quite a few pages of my site [link removed] to acne and how vitmains have helped. Can send free documents I have to anyone who requests them. Take a look. No cost.
December 2, 2006
Pros:
At first, seemed to help reduce inflamation of pimples (supposed to have anti-inflammatory properties). Affordable, natural, and great for your body in many ways and for health in general.
Cons:
Not sure to what degree this works in the "long run". Hard to determine what the right dosage is that works best.
Recommend it for general health and it did seem to help reduce the pimples when I first started using it. Will keep using it anyway most likely. USAGE: I take 3-4 pills of it daily, one or two with each meal. Only time will tell if it works for you "in the long run".

i started using flax oil and it seemed to be working after a few days but then i broke out kind of bad. however i found out that if youre supplementing EFAs then you need to cut out all hydrogenated oils (cookies, chips, popcorn, fried food etc) or youre acne may get worse. so i'm going to continue with at least 2 tbsp per day and try and eat pretty healthy for the next few weeks and i'll update on my progress then
Pros:
good for joints and depression
