Pros:

this works greatt! i have had severe acne since 5th grade and tried everything. my doctor recomended me to take zinc for my immune system and i am now in 8th grade i have been using zinc for 2 weeks and most of it is gone!

Cons:

it can make you feel sick if you dont eat it with food.

if you arent happy with your skin buy this product. but if you are happy with your skin it would be a good idea to still take it to maintain your skin. and zinc unlike other products gets better right when you start using it. it doesnt get worse.

Pros:

- Clears acne
- The skin becomes less oily

Cons:

- When I have started I had to take zinc after taking food but now is not a problem to take it in the evening on an empty stomach.

I take chelated zinc gluconate 25mg and I have noticed less oily skin after one week of first taking. After 3 months my face was completly clear. I was taking in the past 2 cycles of Roaccutane and the results were very good but after one year the problem has come again. I was looking for a solution of taking something which is not dangerous for a long time. First time I have read about zinc on this site. Most of reviews were very good and decided to give a try. I am very satisfied and recommend to everone to give a chance to zinc.

Pros:

Reduced acne scaring and spots.

Cons:

Stomach pain

To help me reduce my acne breakouts I started to eat a lot more healthier in early November of last year. This had helped a great deal but I was still getting large Nodular acne (the type you cant squeeze and are really painful!) So after reading some reviews with some scepticism, I began taking zinc for my acne in early December. In the first week it had given me a breakout and I had more spots on my chest. I went from taking 15mg a day to 70mg a day. This gave superb results as I'm black and I have a lot of dark scars on my face but the rate that the scars were healing up was phenomenal. Also the large Nodular spots have all but gone. I do get small spots and if I eat unhealthily I do get small breakouts but my skin has improved immensely. The one draw back is I'm now taking no more than 15mg twice a day as even though I took the tablets with food I did suffer badly from stomach pain. I have had acne for 16 yrs and this is the only product that has worked for me.

Pros:

Cheap.

After the first day, I can see my skin healing. My acne wasn't too bad (mild), but I scar easily, so even when I didn't pick at my pimples, I'd have discoloration. I took 25mg of Zinc after breakfast, and 25mg after dinner. My Zinc pills also contain Vitamin C. My skin is more even toned now. Finally something that works!

Pros:

Noticed that my skin was great everytime I drank probiotic drinks w/ zinc or protein shakes w/zinc.

I've tried everything... roaccutane etc. Nothing works. PLus I'm in my mid 20's so thought I'd be past this! BUt it works!

Cons:

none, although I wish I had been told, rather than through trial and error

I had deep bumps and scattered acne all over my neck, jawline and back. now with zinc it has completely cleared up!!!

it works great
I tried Zinc 30 mg. Thank you, internet. Zinc is great! I have 90% less breakouts than I used to have before. Much less cystic acne. My skin looks so better now. And don't forget: If you want to try Zinc, you must take Cooper too.

Great Product
Definitely take with plenty of food, otherwise you will be nauseous. I noticed a difference within the first week.

Only thing which has worked
I had quite severe cystic acne for over ten years, on and off, continuing into adulthood, and tried EVERYTHING. Eventually my derm prescribed me roaccutane which I was very reluctant to take; I wanted to avoid harsh chemicals, so starting using acne.org to research healthy alternatives. I started taking daily effervescent zinc (10mg), vitamin c (1000mg) and cod liver oil about 6 months ago and my acne has all but cleared up! I used to get really bad hormonal break outs around my chin and jaw (two or three new angry, painful cysts every morning which stayed on my face for months) but now maybe will get one small cyst every couple of weeks which goes within a week or two. I'm left with some red marks but these are starting to fade now too. My skin care regime has been the same for about a year (gentle cleansing and salicylic acid moisturiser), so it must be the supplements - I really can't recommend trying zinc enough! I never thought it would work, but it really has, and I can finally leave the house without make up!
