Zinc

for sure worth a try! really speeds up the skin healing process.

25-50 mg / day may be helpful to those who have a zinc deficiency. These might include vegetarians and especially vegans. Be sure to take an iron supplement and/or eat iron-rich foods while taking this as, over time, it can cause an iron deficiency. If you take both zinc and iron, take them at different times during the day b./c they can affect each other's absorption.

i have had moderate acne since i was in junior high. my acne isn't severe or cystic, but lots of breakouts. forehead always covered in bumps, red pimples on my cheeks, and obvious, clogged pores on my nose, forehead, and chin. it has been persistent and nothing i've tried has made a difference for more than a week. i'm going to a dermatologist for the third time next week, but am now rethinking this after starting on zinc. i can't believe how much my skin has improved...in just a week! it is now so much more smooth, and 90% of my acne is gone. all of my red scars are also going away. another big thing is that my skin does not get oily in an hour anymore. before i had to blot my skin at least 8 times a day and reapply powder. not anymore. not even once a day. all i can say is that it's worth giving zinc a shot. for a few bucks, what can it hurt? i didn't expect anything out of it and look where it got me. i'm thrilled!

Worth a try for inflamed acne, I still have clogged pores but it's not something that's obvious for anyone other than myself. Also, before when I'd squeeze out a clogged pore, it'd become an angry pimple- not anymore, I guess thanks to zinc's anti-inflammatory properties.

if you arent happy with your skin buy this product. but if you are happy with your skin it would be a good idea to still take it to maintain your skin. and zinc unlike other products gets better right when you start using it. it doesnt get worse.

I've had a sudden break out! I mean the whole hard core cystic acne and I'm 32! Definately not acne! Crazy! I had this dream about why I had cystic acne. And guess what the dream told me. Food Allergies! Yup. If your acne is not clearing although you wash the heck out of your face and keep it clean no matter what! Well people their is definately an internal problem. Of course my dream told me that I was allergic to a specific type of food,but when I woke up I was like what the heck was it. Well I went through the elimination process of finding out what food I may be allergic to and guess what. I love pasta! I had to be gluten free! or should not eat anything to do with baked goods. So! I also realized that zinc,copper, vitamin b5, acidipholus (prevention from over growth of yeast in body-guess what the culprit for yeast is---PASTA!). My face was hurtin bad and the huge bumps on my face were turning into sores and bursting-DISGUSTING! My face is feeling better now.

I had been going to dermatologist since i was 13yo. ive tried everything i even went as far as slushing if anyone knows what that is. everything was temp. i got so tired of the chemicals that make your face red and dry and avoiding crowds because of the way i looked. i got on the internet and researched vitamin deficencies and i found where zinc had some research about a antibiotic property it has so i gave it a shot. i now no longer have any chemicals in my house for my acne. i wash my face every morning and every night with regular soap. and i take zinc every day at breakfast. its my miracle drug.

It hasn't worked for me, I guess I thought it would be some kinda miracle pill the way people have described it.

zinc is the only thing which has improved my skin (and i've tried so many things). when i take it, my active acne completely clears. i stopped taking it for about 3 days and i started getting spots again. it has also made my skin a lot less oily. I take 4 x 15mg of Chelated Zinc daily, of which 0.75mg of each tablet is Copper.
