Cons:
I guess just dealing with the breakouts in the first two weeks
I really felt like I had tried everything but nothing seemed to work but then i came across flaxseed. I take 2 1000 mg organic flaxseed oil gel tabs in the morning and two at night. The first 2-3 weeks I seemed to break out a little more than normal. Week 4 I added a raw whole food vitamin with probiotics (vitamin code), and a product called candida clear by Now Foods and my face looks pretty darn clear and is starting to heal. You really just have to be consistent with it but it really does work. The flaxseed gel tabs cost me about $7 a month, the vitamins cost me $25 a month, and the candida clear about $10 a month. It might sound like alot but it works and its worth it.

Pros:
It's a beautiful thing...I started taking this because I thought it would be healthy for my heart...little did i know it was going to clear up my acne like it did...my face is as smooth as a baby's bottom and it's never ever ever!!! been like this.
Cons:
There really is none for me..honestly!
This product is cheap and effective! I wouldn't say it's the cure for acne because my acne wasn't that bad but it get's rid of even the tiniest pimples that you're so used to and don't see anymore. With that, it gives you a more youthful, flawless appearance. I use the pills from the Spring Valley brand; they sell at WalFart!

Pros:
Easy (mix 2Tbls with orange juice each morning). Cheap! I buy mine pre-ground in the baking aisle of my local Whole Foods--a large bag is $3-4. Also promotes bowel regularity and cardiac health.
Cons:
I think the lignans in the flaxseed oil may have dysregulated my menstrual cycle one month (longer menstruation than usual), but have not had a repeat occurrence.
Worth a try for acne and definitely worth using for its cardiovascular benefits (lower blood pressure, etc.).

Pros:
Flax seed is so healthy for you, despite what it may or may not do skin wise. I know I am getting plenty of Omega 3's now, which is difficult to consume in today's world.
Cons:
I do not use the oil since I can not tolerate the oily consistency and smell. The capsules are not worth taking since you have to take so many more to equal the value of the oil.
I have been using ground flax seed for the last few months as part of my new regime to take better care of my skin. It is more cost effective and not bothersome to me at all to consume as opposed to the oil and capsules available. I just sprinkle some on top of my yogurt or cereal daily (a total of 1T daily). I drink lemon water, use lemon juice topically, add flax seed to my diet, and follow the cleansing advice from this web site precisley. I have stopped taking my amoxicillan capsules and have mostly clear skin now. I am thrilled !! I am in my late 30's and have had moderate but very consisten acne since I was 13. I had medical treatment a few different times through my adult years. Only antibiotics would clear me up, the topicals were really useless to me. Since I knew I could not remain on medication too long, I felt doomed to have bad skin forever. It is a horrible feeling ! I am grateful and feeling like I have finally let a major worry in my life go. Amazing!! I am not a bad

Cons:
none.
The thing you got to is..take the liquid flax seed oil.I took the pills and they did not work.Take the liquid.I take around 12-16 thousand mg of flax seed oil.Just around 2 spoon fulls of it.Make sure you take it with your food.I have seen better results that way.I also started to eat tuna 2 or more times a week.That also did wonders for me.Just give it time.I have been on flax seed oil for about 2 months now.My face is cleared right up.

Ground Flaxseed for Omega-3
I use a coffee grinder to grind flaxseeds and put a spoon of flaxseed meal in my breakfast everyday. It's easier to digest than whole flaxseeds and it's high in omega-3 which counterbalances any omega-6 I might have in my diet (chips, fast food, meat, nuts, baked goods). Omega-3 is anti-inflammatory while omega-6 encourages sebum production.
I've been combining this diet change with zinc supplements and my skin has never been better. I haven't had any new breakouts in two months when I used to battle something new coming up every week or two.

Pros:
Miraculously fast results,using 2 TBSP. ground flaxseed a day (instead of oil), my horrible face acne cleared up within a week. It remains clear; scars are fading. Smooth skin, no dryness or redness!
Cons:
None; be creative with what you mix it with; try to never miss a day.
haven't used the oil, but ground flaxseed mixed in oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce, spaghetti sauce, soup, pancakes or whatever has been my miracle cure. I was also using Herpanacine, vitamins, and Proactiv, but never saw any results until I added ground flax. Then within 7 days the out-of-control acne was gone! I am a teenager and do not want to be without my flaxseed now.

Pros:
AWESOME. I use 2 tspns. internally follwed by water. Also 3 x's a week externally on my face. Very cheap as well. I get cysts 1 x a month and this stops that and I haven't gotten any new pimples. WOOHOO :) just give it a try.
Cons:
None so far.
I take the liquid kind, no the capsules and twice a day. I think it is great. give it a try, at the least just use it as a face moisturizer in the evening before bed and wake up to soft, healed skin. :)

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.
Pros:
Easy & Natural. My Skin is starting to look great
