Helped!

Pros:

Healthy
Cheap

Cons:

Can upset your stomach if not taken with food

This is a cheap way to help your acne from the inside out. I take one multi vitamin and an extra zinc everyday and it has really improved my skins condition. In my opinion this method can't really hurt you, it is almost a "win win". Sometimes you need to cleanse from the inside. I use lemon juice, green tea, distilled water and vitamins. I avoid dairy and red meat (not always! A girl's gotta eat!) This works for me, but even if it doesn't work for your acne specifically, it is still helping your body. Win.

- effective

- vivid dreams (only got them if i took it like 5-10 mins before i went to sleep)

DO NOT EXCEED THE LIMIT OF 150MG OF ZINC SUPPLEMENTS IN YOUR DIET OTHERWISE IT COULD BE VERY DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR HEALTH.

Pros:

Cheap
Strengthens immune system
Works

Cons:

Temporary use to be safe

Great vitamin for your immune system it just isn't good in the long run for your body because it makes you copper deficient. Pretty much i broke out like crazy from TAP WATER...who would've thunk it...i tried to stay healthy and drink about a gallon of water a day and the chlorine in my water made me nauseous and slaughtered my immune system. I finally got to the bottom of it and figured out what was causing my acne because I hadn't broken out in years. Combined zinc and vitamin C every day and boom goes the dynamite. Drink 8 cups of FILTERED water Take 2 25mg zincs throughout the day Take 2 ester C (vitamin c supplement) Wash face with cleanser in the morning Wash face with cleanser at night BE PATIENT. Enjoy your new skin. seriously.

Pros:

Clears Acne

Cons:

-Feels like you are going to throw up without any food eaten
-Dont use Mederma with it,will make you break out

I have had acne since the 4th grade, and i'm in the 9th grade. I started using Zinc(30mg) last week and i saw a difference. Then,4 dayss later i started using Mederma to get rid of my acne scars and it made me break out. So, i recommend you NOT to use Mederma while taking Zinc. Use Mederma once your face is clear.

Pros:

My skin has improved so much! Give it a couple of weeks to fully take effect.

Cons:

It does make your stomach hurt a little bit but after two weeks i didn't notice it anymore. It's best to take it at night with dinner.

I would highly recommend trying 50 mg. of Zinc per day, its so easy but give it a couple of weeks to fully take effect on your skin. Zinc was the first supplement i tried that actually improved my skin. I have since slowly added others. First I added 500 mg of Niacin, then 400 I.U. of natural Vitamin E, and then I just recently added 350 mg Chromium. I noticed when I added the Niacin that it actually made my skin much less oily, never thought that was possible after everything else I've tried!! I buy the Natures Bounty brand of Zinc and (no flush) Niacin. They're very cheap like $6 Zinc, and $7 or $8 for the Niacin. I also use a mild foaming face wash-AM & BP gel at night, that's it. I would say would say I have 80% clearer skin.

Pros:

Only cost me 2 pounds! Its easily accessible. Works relatively quickly.

Cons:

You have to take a fair bit to see results.

After taking it for a few weeks I definitely see results. I take 45mg - 60mg of zinc gluconate each day. Although it is no cure, i still get acne, it is a lot less frequently and also seems to help reduce it and rid it much quicker. If you can get it inexpensively, why not give it a go? Just make sure you stick with it for at least a month before you decide if its working or not.

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

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.
