Pros:

the pills are easy to crush for applying to your face, it doesn't smell bad at all and it reduces redness and smooths your skin.

Cons:

can burn/itch a little when it's on

i have really red/dry skin, and i crush about 4 pills and mix with water and let it sit on my skin until it dries. then, i rinse it off and apply vitamin E squeezed from two pills. tonight is the first night i have taken a pill orally as well, so we'll see how that goes, but i already take a multi-vitamin that has zinc anyway. BE CAREFUL not to overdose on zinc! i've only been using it for a few days and my skin is already looking nicer. i'm not sure if it is the zinc or the combination of zinc and vitamin E, but i recommend both if you have very dry skin.

Pros:

I used chelated zinc - 50 mg per day for about 1 month. Worked within 2 3 days. Less oiliness. Very few cystic pimples.

Cons:

I developed a severe rash which may be related to change in bowel movement??I think the high dosage of zinc had caused this so now I have stopped taking it all together to see what happens with this rash.

I recommend this only if it has no other side effects like the brutal rash I developed somewhere I never thought I could have!

Pros:

It does help the healing process of the skin. It partially prevents the return of pimples and revives the skin. It definitely works but you'll have to show some patience. It can take up to 2 weeks to become really effective.

Cons:

I have never experienced nausea. But if you overdo the dosage, you may experience some diarrhea-like symptoms. Try not to take more than 50mg per day. Crossing the 100mg per day mark can cause zinc poisoning. Not good. Just be patient.

It just works. No prescription needed. Inexpensive, natural, and overall good for the body. You may as well just eat tons and tons of mushrooms as they have a high concentration of zinc. But a zinc tablet is just much easier. Note that I have very very light akne. I am 30 years old and just have a pimple or two per month. I used to have very bad akne until I took antibiotics against it, which totally ruined my hormone balance in my body. I was 98 percent cured of pimples but once in a while one comes out to mock me. For me zinc works perfectly since I have not much to cure. So for those of you who suffer from only very light akne, this is the solution. I am not sure how good constant zink consumption in high doses is for those with heavy akne. You'd have to take a lot and that can't be very good. Zinc poisoning is pretty harsh stuff. Zinc is considered a heavy metal and being poisoned by it should be treated with a hospital visit. And some milk.
