Pros:

Works really well at diminishing pimple size and helps reduce redness. Much less acne after a week or two.

Cons:

If you don't take it with food it can make you sick, possibly poop out blood.

I have been taking Zinc for about two weeks now and it already works great. I would take this for the rest of my life if I have to.

Pros:

This stuff works! You have nothing to loose. I saw results after only 2 days. It has made my skin less oily and I have gotten no new zits since taking zinc. Also, it has cleared up some existing acne.

Cons:

Nothing. I have a very sensitive stomach and haven't experienced anything but I do take it with food in my stomach.

BUY THIS!

I had severe acne and had used all topical and oral medications except Accutane. I started taking 50 mg of zinc gluconate along with a Centrum multi-vitamin everyday for the past 6 weeks...and I don't get cysts anymore. I use a mild glyerine cleanser and that's it - all BP and SA products make me break out more!! I have only mild acne now so I'm very excited about that!

Pros:

Reduces severity of acne, acne heals much more quickly.

Cons:

Doesn't fully clear acne

Its cheap, and helps to reduce the severity of my acne, and I have found that it helps to heal the acne on my face much more quickly. However it never really cleared my acne fully, but I still think its worth trying.

Pros:

cheap and easy

Cons:

none really. i haven't had any problems with nausea that others have reported.

i have had acne since i was 12 and now i'm 22 and i think it's been getting worse over the last few years. i've been on pretty much all kinds of prescription topicals and minocycline and none have worked. i have blackheads, whiteheads, deep swollen pimples... at this point, i'm using neutrogena oil-free acne wash 2X a day, i use clean & clear 10% bp thing at night, and i take 30 mg of zinc at dinner. i'm not sure if it's the zinc, or the regime i started, but i'm seeing some improvement. it's always hard to tell--i think my skin is clearing and then i get some really bad ones. it's cheap and definitely worth a try and may even work. i'm going to continue and see what happens.

Pros:

Helps the redness of my pimples go down pretty fast and keeps other pimples away

Cons:

You have to eat something or you can't take it

I had severe acne this one day, and I complained to my mom the day before, so she got me these 50mg zinc pills, and I took one along with a bowl of chicken noodle soup. That night I noticed the redness of my pimples went down and I continued it for a week along with lemon juice. and I didn't have acne for a few months. Then I started getting lazy and forgot to use the zinc for a few days, and I got moderate acne marks. Now I have to star all over again...

Pros:

made my face less oily in a matter of two days.
toned skin instantly..
smOOooOOthed it out a bit.

Cons:

none yet...not even an upset stomache.

I'm 17 and i've had severe acne since i was like 12. on my face, my BACK especially(i cant even wear a bathing suit :( or tank tops), upper arms (shoulders &all around my bra strap), a little bit of acne on my chest. ive tried zinc gluconate for about 3days at about 150mg, and im already starting to see an even tone and smoother skin! but ive also been scrubbing my back with Clean &Clear in the shower with a back brush..but zinc helped make my skin LESS OILY...just a little bit of change with the zits, but i have a feeling this will work!..ive tried tetracycline and minocycline in the past, but i wasnt faithful to those as they made my skin irritated..zinc has yet to upset my stomach or irritate my skin!! Oh yeah, zinc is good for teens i heard because it BALANCES HORMONES..which is a leading cause for teenage acne, out of whack hormones.in a couple days ill probably reduce to at least 100mg of zinc so i wont become deficient in another vitamin or mineral (2much zinc wil do this).
