Pros:

It has made my skin really smooth! My skin was oily and had alot of pores and it has dried up the oil and made all the pimples i had totally flat. Now when i put on foundation no bumps! :D It didnt make me sick because i used chelated.

Cons:

None. Except it didn't get rid of the few marks i have but i can use something else for that.

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.

Pros:

Has really worked amazingly well. You can eat it with food, unlike most antibiotics. I've found I don't get sick or sore throats, even when I feel I'm about to

Cons:

it can be upsetting to the stomach if you don't take the zinc with food, or if you take more than 30mg of zinc at once

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

Pros:

Cheap!

Cons:

None that I have to complain about.

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!

Pros:

clears up acne, cheap,

Cons:

it's a pill? you have to swallow it.

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!

Pros:

cheap, natural, also good for immunity and other body components

Cons:

needs to be taken on the long term-- doesn't work within a few days or weeks; give it at least one month

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.

Pros:

It's clearing my face, great immune system, very affordable, easy to take.

Cons:

Upset stomach sometimes, but not a very big problem if taken with food.

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.

Pros:

it was effective for a few days.

Cons:

it makes me feel sick, and want to vomit

it was effective for 5 days. one cyst was cleared after some days only. at first really i notice some effect. but on the fifth day, i felt very sick. then small cysts begun to appear which is quite weird cz i usually get one after the other (and just takes a long time to go away). then i still continue to take zinc every night 100mg. and the small cysts got bigger. wtf! i didn't reach the two-week period. i stopped using it.why is it effective to others? it didnt even take away the redness. it just take away one big cysts and replaced it with 6 small cysts (btw, this small cysts are now big.f**k zinc!)
