Zinc

Anyone looking for a cure should try zinc! I take about 60mg before i go to bed and when i wake up any pimples i had have gone flat and it looks so much better. It took two weeks for me to see great results. also had gotten rid of any problems on my shoulders or back etc.

I take 30mg of chelated zinc gluconate (I can only attest for this types effectiveness) twice a day. It has reduced my acne by 85%. I use a camera to take a picture of my face everyday after I get out of the shower so I can objectively follow how well it's worked. 60mg of zinc is a little higher than I'd prefer (though after a month I haven't noticed any negative effects) so next month I'll reduce my intake to 45mg. I saw no reduction in acne after two weeks (so it's a shame for those people who stopped after a week or two because they saw no effects), but by the third week I noticed a reduction by about 50% in pimples, and then by the fourth week it was down to about 75%. Residual red spots are still there but they are fading. Overall zinc has been a priceless find for me. I hope it works as well for you

It has really cleared up my skin. I had tried several different acne treatment systems and none were giving me the results I wanted, but I started taking Chelated Zinc to help strengthen my immune system, and I noticed my skin was become visibly more radiant, it's been a lot less oily, and my pores aren't as noticeable! I love it! It's definitely worth a try!

just go out and get some. 50mg a day worked for me. I started taking them at the same time as I started using tea tree oil so it's hard to say if the zinc is contributing to my improved skin. I like to think that it is! It's worth it. a few buck at most for 100 tablets. Apparently, good for immune system! nice!

Many people expect vitamins and supplements to be an INSTANT fix-- it's not. Give it time. Make sure you take zinc on a full stomach. Otherwise, you will get very nauseous and potentially bad stomach pain. Do not exceed 50mg in a day but ask a pharmacist for what dose is right for you.

I am taking 1 tablet of 50mg zinc gluconate every day for 2 weeks now. I started seeing results after 1.5 week but already saw good results with fish oil. After i started taking zinc, my face started clearing even faster than with just fish oil. Now i continue taking both of them (1 tablespoon of fish oil and 1 tablet of 50mg zinc gluconate) every day and it clears even more. Also, i reduced the dairy products i eat/drink and eat much less junk food. All of these helped. The redness started dissapearing as well but of course it takes some time. I always take it with food but sometimes it upsets my stomach anyway, even if i ate a really big meal. No problem though. I still get a zit or two every some days but only when i eat junk food.

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've been taking this for 3 weeks now. Seems to be working pretty well in combination with Dan's Regimen. I am approaching my pre-period week, where I usually flare up with at least 5-7 active deep cysts. It's been kept to about 2-3 so far. Red spots and inflammation seem to fade quicker and are less intense. I am grateful for anything that keeps my acne at bay. I'm also using Dan's AHA, and have been eating better and exercising more. I'm taking Jamieson's 25mg of zinc gluconate pills 1x a day. Haven't had any side effects or nausea, as I am diligent about taking it on a full stomach and at the same time every day. Wow, can't believe I didn't try this earlier. BP got my skin good, AHA got my skin better. I'm thinking zinc will get my skin great.

I only have two active pimples. All the rest is red marks fronm past pimples, im hoping this will take care of that redness. Im hopeful

Used a blend of Zinc, vit. b6, e and C. Daughters acne which had been sever for 18 months started to clear. still some red scars left and an occassional pimple, but her complexion looks beautiful again. She uses nicinamide 5% cream 2 X a day as well.
