Pros:

-it works almost immediately
-reduce oil by 50%
-my energy level has shot up the roof

Cons:

-it makes me slightly nauseous
-i need a daily dosage of 200mg of zinc gluconate (equivalent of elemental zinc 26mg)

-I felt literally alive again. After exactly 10 years of moderate acne condition with cystic breakouts, improvements started to show right from day 1 -A common question asked is how much "elemental zinc" we need, which is not the same as how much zinc tablet (e.g. zinc gluconate) we need everyday. -% RDA is based on elemental zinc. Do your own study to understand your actual dosage and avoid any unnecessary fear of actually overdosing zinc

- Fading scars like crazy!
- Only have to take one tablet a day

Cons:

I have been using benozyl peroxide for about a year now, with no success. I am still using it but have recently been taking Zinc, for about a week or so. It is incredible! It's really cleared my skin a lot and I recommend it to anyone. REALLY cheap as well.

Pros:

Works well. Improves skin's overall appearance.

Cons:

Wasn't overnight

My husband never breaks out. I never had any skin problems till I hit my thirties then all heck broke loose. I asked my hubby about 3 mths ago how he has such good skin. He told me it was because of the zinc he took everyday. His brother had acne when he was young and he didn't want that to happen to him so he began popping zinc 20 years ago and takes it till this day. I started taking it as well and at first nothing. But about a month in I started to see the difference and now, with my usual skin regime of proactive, my skin looks really good. I would recommend anyone taking it for overall skin health.

Pros:

Clearer skin. (50mg of Zinc)

Cons:

Have a hard time swallowing the tablets; have to crush it up the tablet with spoon.

Although I despise the tablets (I only wish they came in capsules!), zinc works wonders. Ever since I've started taking it, my skin has improved a lot -- and I only started taking it a few weeks ago. I only wish I knew about it sooner.

Pros:

Works great if you stay on it

Cons:

Dont stop

I used to take zinc about 50-100mg a day and my acne broke out some very little, but healed up quickly. I stoped taking it for 3 months and my face started breaking out over and over and it took forever for the bumps to disapear. Try it...just a few bucks!!! Don't take on an empty stomach

Pros:

Good for skin
It clears up hormonal acne .

Cons:

Stomach aches (You must take it after you ate ! )

This is the best thing ! I wash my face one of two days with Garnier Pure 3 in 1 and I take 30 mg of zinc each day (one is 15 mg, I take one am and one pm)! I spent 4 bucks on 30 pills.

Pros:

It seems to be working.

Cons:

Empty stomach can cause nausea...
I'm not sure how much a 14 year old should take...

I started two weeks ago on 30 mg a day of zinc gluconate. I had deep cystic acne that you would have to squeeze really hard to pop (even though i got out of that habit), especially on my chin and temple area of my forehead. Then, I upped the dose to 60 mg, then 90 mg a day (I am an avid exerciser, and exercise increases the body's need for zinc). Now, I have stopped using facewashes, because they overdried my skin waay to much on zinc, adn caused breakouts. Every day, I see my long-kept deep postules fading though I still get only slightly inflamed pimples on my temple area that are easily popped, and I still have those tiny invisible bumps on my cheeks. It almost seems that my facial skin is getting thinner, preventing the acne from lodging itself in it. I think I can say that in another two weeks, I will no longer get pimples on my forehead (as the ones on my chin have decreased to about 3 dried, old ones), because my 14 year old hormones will be balanced by the zinc. once this happens, I will lower my dose back down to 60 mg a day, then maybe 30 mg. I don't think I wil risk dropping it completely, though. Summary= My old acne is fading, and every day I get less pimples that are less severe, even without washing my face (I do rinse), as they cause breakouts now that the zinc is drying up my skin.
