Cons:
i am pretty sure this in what inflamed my skin.
maybe it works for some people, and i know omegas are good but you can get them other ways. did NOT work for me.

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.

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:
Cheap....
Cons:
BROKE OUT WORSE THAN EVER
I started taking this about a month ago because I had a big pimple on my nose. I had incredibly high hopes for this. Well, after taking the capsels religiously for a month, I broke out worse than I have in my entire life. I had SIX cystic/nodular pimples on my chin and under my nose. I was so upset, I didn't leave my house unless necessary, and, to prove how desperate and depressed I was, I was on the verge of ordering Accutane online. How unsafe and dumb!! This may work wonderfully for some people, and perhaps, if I stuck with it,. my skin would clear up and look better than ever. However, it's not worth the risk and the horrible days with all the acne that is finally now beginning to clear up after wearing the mint jaleup mask every night and salicylic acid spot treatment.

Pros:
Cheap, good for regularity, took it to avail of the good omega's.
Cons:
Gave me bad acne
I started to take two Flaxseed oil capsules on Sunday, one in the morning, one at evening and by the next Sunday I was broke out around my chin and lip line terribly and very painful. I stopped taking the capsules and still had a terrible time healing, literally weeks.It was almost like the pimple would not turn to a whitehead nor go away but very painful and swollen. Prior to this I had no pimples but just wanted to take advantage of those good amega's. I got a raw deal!!!!!

Flax oil made me break out even worse.
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.
November 6, 2007
Pros:
-Easy to take
-Dirt Cheap price!
Cons:
-Developed Rashes after 1 hour of taking this. I've never had a dry skin problem, and this made me itch.
I called my dermatologist and he told me that some people get an allergic reaction to Flaxseed oil, so perhaps I will try to fish-based omega 3 capsules instead. I've never had a skin problem to begin with, so I regret buying 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:
NOOOOOO. my face started breaking out in horrible cysts, and i, stupidly, could not figure out why or what i had started doing differently. i had been taking flax and eating flax cereal for about 2 weeks for omegas.
