Pros:

None

Cons:

None

I used flaxseed (ground) for a month and did not notice any difference. My acne started getting worse. I do not think it was because of flaxseed. I went on accutane after a month and am loving it. MY skin is clear. Not a single breakout any more!

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:

Improves Skin Mosture

Cons:

Causes Severe Breakouts

Despite being inexpensive, it isn't worth a dime. See a dermatologist and begin isotretinoin therapy (accutane) if you are serious about getting rid of acne. I've been on accutane for three months now and have had far less breakouts.
