Zinc

I bought mine online, from Puritan's Pride. I take 3x the recommended daily dose (spent a month on the dose on the bottle with no luck) and my face cleared up almost completely within 5 days. While I still get the occasional zit, they are no longer cystic, and don't take more than a couple days to heal and vanish. Everyone I know has commented on the amazing change.

I got some zinc amino chelate about a week ago and ever since ive been taking 50 mgs a day my complexion has been getting better and I haven't broken out. Did you know when you ejaculate you lose like 5 mgs of zinc, so thats kinda alot when you think about how much zinc your body absorbs without taking a supplement (its usually less than that a day). So you might not want to jerk off like everyday if you have a zinc deficiency.

I have had mild acne all my life im 27 years old. I tried everrything but i still get one or 2 big cystic acme every time of the month. Some days are worse. I tried zinc 50mg, vitamin e ,vitamin c altogether at night . And im telling you. Its been 6 months and i still havent have acne . Im completely clear. Not even a small dot on my face. Im so happy. I hope it will last

i take 45 mg of zinc methionine a day. i take 60mg one day and 30mg the next. i had terrible acne. this is the only thing that works for me that i have tried. you must use this. this cleared me in one week. i used to use zinc chelated but it didn't completely clear although i saw a huge improvement. i highly recomend the br@nd called solaray zinc. it has 20mg of vitamin b6 in it as well and thats the brand that has cleared me in 1 week. also take a small amount of copper with your zinc or else you could get copper deficient and that would be a very bad. zinc works so well that i wish i had known about it many years ago! this stuff is better and more effective than any crappy drug or antibiotic. antibiotics will ruin you. they will be the death of you. you must use zinc methionine. it truly clears you acne! buy the solaray brand. its only 6 dollars on amazon and clears acne. thank me now! good luck my friend.

I dont really get acne anymore maybe like one spot every two weeks but what I do have is hyper pigmentation which I have been trying to get rid of for a couple months. I take the 30mg once a day at bedtime. My scarring has reduced alot and is almost gone. Zinc really works!

It works for me. Im a 16 year old girl who has moderate - severe acne plus hyperpigmentation. Ive researched everything and finally discovered that taking 2 50mg zinc gluconate caplets eveyday or other day with a meal clears my skin remarkably. I also suggest a skin product called Acnevir(found at walmart), which is what i use alongside zinc. Its a topical gel formula( benzoyl peroxide) worked wonders.. Anyways i recommend this. Drink this with your daily recommended intake of water and of course a relatively healthy diet and your skin will improve! You will thank yourself and of course zinc! (Oh and the brand of zinc for me was a store brand at CVS)

I know that zinc's aid in fighting acne is controversal, however, I figured it couldn't hurt to try. I would much rather take a vitamin/mineral that take medication. I really think that this plays a part in helping acne. I believe that for many people, acne is an internal issue and should be fought on the inside as well as the outside. I think taking this supplement in conjunction with using good products is a great way to see results. I follow the regimen (I use purpose face wash, Dan's BP, and Dan's moisturizer). I follow the directions, morning and night, and try to be very gentle. I do this while taking zinc, vitamin A + D, and B complex with C. I have been doing this everyday for the past few months and I feel that it has really helped my skin. I think zinc is really worth a try, it has shown to have such successful results in many people - and it can't hurt. Just make sure to take on a full stomach every time! Good luck!!! :-)

Had I known back when I was 15 (35 years ago), I would have killed to have known the benefits of Zinc. Started about a month ago with 50 mg, 25 am-25 pm. No breakouts to speak of. Healing on back and other areas is continuing. My life has taken a change that I could have never imagined. I have a 16 year old with mildest acne, who breaks out ocaasionally. Took him to Dermatologist 2 months ago (before I found out about Zinc). Dermatologist prescribed Clind/BP roller and a harsh drying agent. Boy uses Clind only with good results. If it fails, I've recommended Zinc to my son. He's hesitant about the nauseau since he's on the football team, trains every day and is very active. We'll see. Anyway, I couldn't be happier. I wish good luck to all of you who at least try it. It has really changed a long, long history of physical and emotional pain. :)

Definitely worth trying. It's cheap and easy. I knew within a day or two that it was working, and I had good results within a couple of weeks. Initially, my skin became dried out and flakey, but I switched facial cleansers to Neutrogena Deep Clean cleanser and that helped my skin's condition. It's really been a life changer and confidence booster. I wish that it worked for everyone.

i read this post 5 months ago when i started to break out again. I have taken accutane 3 times in the past. once when i was 17, again at 19 and again around 21/22. I am 24 and started to break out again and was extremely frustrated. after reading the reviews i figured i'd give fish oil/zinc a try. when i first started taking these two pills i did break out a little. (i was used to his as you do this w/ accutane as well) after a month i started to clear up. 5 months have gone by and my skin has been great. (keeping my fingers crossed!!) i take 1 fish oil pill a day (1000mg) and 1 zinc pill a day (50 mgs) I would tell anybody to try this...you have nothing to lose. good luck! oh, i also wash w/ cetaphyl gentle cleanser and use BP 2.5% every night.
