Pros:

Seems to work pretty well. I still have pimples coming out but the redness is almost completly gone. I'm taking 50mg daily so not to overload my body. Use with gentle soap on your face and results are almost overnight.

Cons:

Makes my stomach a bit ill but it doesn't last long, only a few minutes.

- Easy to swallow. - No unpleasant smell (such as Vitamin B pills that smell horrid!) - Work fast - Not a miracle cure for acne but does help stop redness and breakouts.

Pros:

Wow, I've seen a huge difference after using this for about a week! Started with 50mg then after a week moved down to 25. It does induce slight nausea, but it's worth bearing. Finally something effective rather than BP. Hormonal acne no more.

Cons:

nausea, dizziness, discomfort when at 50mg doses at morning and night. Basically toxic dose but it's very effective against hormonal acne!

I believe this must balance hormones well. I've come to conclusion that I have hormonal acne and attacking with topicals isn't going to get me very far. I decided to try supplements. I've tried fish oil [no results], B5 [very drying but works ok], vitamin e [for scar healing and am still using it] and finally zinc [the cure]. I'm very impressed with what I'm seeing every time I look in the mirror. Zinc may be a cure for some people. I had quite severe acne. My cheeks, my forehead and chin were covered. Now only scars remain but they're fading quite quickly. I was becoming depressed before using Zinc due to no successful treatment options. Have tried everything including online pills designed for acne fighting such as Acneticin. If you haven't tried Zinc yet DO IT NOW! What do you have to lose? It's worth it. Go buy yourself 50mg of Chelated Zinc.

Pros:

Inexpensive, works quickly and long term

Cons:

Taste, occasional stomach upset

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.

Pros:

Skin feels softer and inflamed spots have gotten a lot less red and big.
helps my hair, didnt get nauseous

Cons:

I don't think zinc gluconate works as well as chelate for most people because its harder to absorb.
WEll not help much if you acne is caused by something that zinc can't help like diet.

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.

Did not work for me
After taking 40 mg of zing per night for about 5 nights, I got horrible cysts on my cheeks and the skin around my mouth and nose became red and very dry and flaky. I was upset this didn't work for me after reading the review but I guess I just have to keep going with trial and error if I want to see improvement. At least now I know this doesn't work for me so I won't try it again.

5 days of zinc won't do anything. 5 days of any supplement/medice wouldn't help cure anything. Just have that in mind. My face got worse too before it got better.

pretty good
it makes a difference in your skin and pimples do heal faster however it is not something that will completely clear your skin ..make sure you take it with food !

Pros:

clears acne
must use zinc methionine

Cons:

don't take too much

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.

Pros:

It is making my previous acne scars fade fast

Helping to prevent new breakouts

Cons:

None for me

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!
