cycstic acne
Almost sure it caused me cycstic acne when I had never had any before.
June 11, 2011
Cons:
Severe cystic acne
I have tried this product for four weeks. The first week I did half a tablespoon, and I noticed my skin looked somewhat the same. I increased the dosage to 1 full tablespoon, and I got severe cystic acne. I stuck with this for four weeks thinking it may be a purging of some kind, but I have now decided to get off of it. The problem is probably with the omega 3 which comes in linolenic acid instead of EPA and DHA. Try this with caution.

Pros:
it seemed to lighten my mood after taking it
Cons:
acne breakouts that were highly inflammed and unusually slow to heal. acne looked worse the day after taking this.
risks seem greater than the benefits

Pros:
good for you
Cons:
caused breakout
After being clear for about a month, I had a breakout on my chin and forehead. Having not changed my regimen, I noticed that the only change I have made is that I've been eating flaxseed at breakfast. After reading other reviews, I have no doubt that this is the cause of my breakout.

Pros:
Good for you in many ways
Cons:
NOT GOOD FOR YOUR FACE!! I have had breakouts and it is bothering me. SO, I went on the web to check it out. I have breakouts on my chin, my cheek, and middle of forehead- this one is big & under the skin oil pocket that isn't even poppable. GROS!
I dunno if you want to try it...but I don't ever want to take it again!..The ground seeds seem better than the pills. Gave me pimples...and I usually have great skin. Feel embarrassed! Buy Omega 3,6,9--> works better for me.

Pros:
Moisturizing benefits?
Cons:
Worsened acne
Okay, so I already eat a balanced organic diet, replete with oodles of fruit and veggies, very little dairy, meat or alcohol (and all of that organic). I also work out daily and run marathons-- thus, no lack of physical activity. One reviewer stated that there was an initial "toxin removal" process needed to take place before flax oil was effective in combatting acne. Well, I consider myself to be healthier than about 99% of the population (and more toxin-free), and I was intrigued by the possibility of flax's use in reducing inflammation (post-exercise), controlling acne (I suffer from the occasional breakout, despite my lifestyle), and combat aging (I'm 29 and I probably worry about those little lines around my eyes too much). I took flax for 3 weeks consecutively, then again for 2 weeks consecutively again. Both times I stopped due to the increase in breakouts and oil output apparently caused by the flax (as nothing else in my life had changed). Made my skin worse.

Pros:
regulates bowel movement, more energy
Cons:
really bad acne breakout
I took flax seed oil capsules to lower my cholesterol and get rid of my pimples. It had immediate results in regulating bowel movement. However, it gave me really bad pimple breakout, especially in parts of my face, where I rarely get pimples. I'm never taking this again.

Pros:
I've heard a lot of good things about Flaxseed and starting taking it in addition to Red Yeast Rice to help lower my not-to-high cholesterol.
Cons:
A few years ago I tried the dried flax but broke out with red bumps on my face & body, figured I was allergic.Recently I tried Flaxseed Oil Capsules for past 2 months & again, red pimple like bumps on arms & legs, cystic pimples on chin won't go away
So, I guess Flaxseed is not for me. I really need the Omega 3s but I can't tolerate these under-the-skin pimples that won't surface or go away! Help!! I've tried everything under the sun to clean my face and dried it out in the process -- but maybe now stopping the Flax, hopefully all will clear up. I'll let you know . . .

Pros:
My mother likes it but I don't
Cons:
The first day I started taking the seed my face felt really oily and weird. The second day my face broke out even more. I know that I should continue to take this product because it may be good for me but I can't bare any more pimples.
I didn't like it but maybe it will work for you.

Pros:
I have helped my husband who has diabetes by making this and eating it with him. Works great to lower his sugar but I look ugly
Cons:
I am so broken out that I don't know what to do. I just started thinking what is different??? THE FLAX!!!!!!
I think I will stop eating it with him. Or maybe cut out all other types of oil for a week and see if it is the mix that is causing the break outs.
Pros:
Hair looks better
Nails grow faster
