Flaxseed Oil

Acutane will ruin your liver. research it. It's HORRIBLE for you. Have fun. I guess a ruined liver is better than acne, since acne won't kill you. Wrong. Eat a diet rich in natural raw foods. fruits and vegetables. Lots of juice. The benefits of flax seed oil outweigh those of acutane tremendously. People have been using it for thousands of years for all sorts of ailments. Acne is not the worst thing in the world. Please find a cure that won't do damage to your internal organs.

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.

and I read that estradiol may cause chloasma (sun spots due pregnancy) and flaxseed inhibits estradiol... so this can help me to get rid of some "sun spots" ... I am checking this because I remember that when I was taking like 3 tablespoons (that was too much but I didn't know by then...) the sun spots that I had became less noticeable... and somehow my face looked better... so I am returning to it.... I guess that the detail is also that when you begin to have flaxseed you have to try to reduce your intake of other oils... otherwise it can be be too much for you and acne may appear... In fact I began having this because I had something like blepharitis and now I don't have this and maybe the flaxseed helped me do it ... I suggest it ...

This review is in regards to GROUND flaxseed. Although oil may contain more omega-3s, only ground flaxseed contains lignans (thought to decrease the risk of breast cancer) and other important nutrients. It is also very easy to mix with smoothies, cereal, breads, etc. I have moderate acne (although I am particularly prone to the cystic type - usually in mild doses). I have never found over the counter acne medications to do anything for me. When I stick to 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed per day, my acne virtually disappears. I find that my skin is very clear and soft. I also notice that I wear much less makeup - indicating that my skin is healthier with a natural "glow'. I attribute flaxseed's success to its ability to reduce inflammation. You MUST continue to take it. Recently I have gotten "lazy" and noticed a return of the cystic type acne. I will be resuming my flaxseed regimen to that I may once again enjoy healthy, natural looking skin.

i had bad acne throughout high school, now that I am 24 my skin has a little damage to it; nothing that a good scrubbing process can not fix; but my skin today never really breaks out. I think that using flaxseed in your diet along with medication, ( i was persribed diffren gel and tetracycline) your skin will improve; do not use harsh treatments, eat healty, exercise and don't smoke (it makes a big difference) then you can see improvement. Treat your skin like you would a babies skin...never pop zits and never fret your skin will improve...best advice see a doctor, get on antibiotics and special creams...its really the only way to fight a extream breakout.

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!

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.

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 ;-(

Overall, there isn't a reason that people shouldn't be taking this. There are numerous health benefits, and I know my skin is looking a LOT better since I've been taking it. You have to wait about a week or two to see the effects, though. Also, I would suggest taking the oil over any capsules. Two teaspoons of oil is equal to roughly 12 or so capsules. The oil tastes like crap, but it is well worth it to man up and take it. My skin is looking better now than I can ever remember!

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.
