Zinc

Am going to use it till the bottle is finished and see what happens. Nothing has helped me in nearly 30 years so my expectations are fairly low. Accutane (maximum dosage) stopped the large painful bumps but I am still covered with blackheads and scars.

I take zinc for about three weeks now, and my skin is a litter better. it is a good start. I hope my skin will be better as the time pass. i will keep take Zinc.

Overall, zinc has worked pretty well. I have noticed a significant difference; however, this is no miracle acne cure. It did not give me 100% clear skin. It is just another step in my regimen.

After reading all the reviews, I knew that I had to try it. However, I was still somewhat skeptical but thought I had nothing to lose so I bought a bottle of zinc. I feel that my acne is clearing up really quickly and I'm starting to notice the effects already, and I've only been taking it for 2 days. I feel that my complexion is brighter as well. I feel like I need the zinc because I am a vegetarian. FYI, I've tried -Flaxseed oil (the plant-based type, caused an allergic reaction, itchy rash that made me wake up in the middle of the night..it was a horrible experience) -Apple Cider Vinegar (caused an allergic reaction, caused some discomfort) I'd highly recommend zinc. I have sensitive skin and this works great for me :)

Its amazing i have been taking it for about a month and my face has undergone a 75% improvement. i still get pimples every once in a little while but there overall size has been totally reduced!

I have used this Vitamin for a few months as an added benefit to my VERY COMPLEX regimne that i wont even get into,but definitely works...im a guy..and my skins so amazing i have people asking me if i wear foundation!!...i have taken it on an empty stomach twice by accident,and must admit, both times i have thrown up! ( i take 50mg)..dont give up and think its not working..just stick to it as easy as it is to breathe!..TRUST ME!

I thought this worked for some time, but then nothing changed. It didn't make it worse but definitely didn't cure my skin from acne.

I've had acne for about three years and there's been ups and downs but generally washing treatments have done very little for my skin. I've tried many bp products and other typical over-the-counter acne products and nothing really "cured" it. My Dermatologist just prescribed me different antibiotics until she wanted to put me on accutane. I started taking 50mg of zinc daily and my skin started healing so fast. Plus I fewer and fewer pimples were sprouting up until it was clear. I stopped for a while without changing anything else and it came back. I'm not saying this is the cure for everyone but if you think you might be deficient, give it a try. It could change everything.

I knew about zinc through acne.org. I read a lot of reviews and decided to try it. Why not? I have nothing to loose. I was aware that taking zinc supplements would deplete the absorption of copper. I bought zinc from the brand Now Foods (Optizinc - 30mg), which also have copper in it. I paid less than 5 euros for 100 capsules. I take the birth control pill for birth control purposes (obviously) but it never did anything for my acne. I took the pill Diane in the past, but it didn't do anything for me... I have whiteheads and sometimes inflamed pimples around my jawline, and blackheads in my nose and cheeks. I have also oily skin... Zinc seemed ok to take, and many people said it helped a lot with their acne and oily skin. I only took it for 2 weeks, because after that i had to take antibiotics, and i was afraid that zinc would affect it's absorption - i read something about this. After one week i had to take it only 2 to 3 times a week, because i was experience a lot of tiredness and a little of nose bleeding... But i notice a difference on my skin. It was looking healthier, less oily and inflamed spots were gone. I also noticed a difference on my period which came a couple of days after i stopped zinc (one day after it was supposed to). The bleeding was really minimal and very different from my usual periods even, which i clearly attribute to the taking of zinc. Zinc levels play an important role on menstrual cycle, by regulating the hormones. Its proven to make menstrual cramps better, but it also reduces bleeding. (i had no premenstrual pain, which i usually do) I'm now very skeptical about taking it again... if it can do this with my menstrual cycling, it's because is messing with it in certain way, and i'm not really comfortable with that... It's a shame...but i really don't want to mess with my internal system, i can make it worse by not knowing exactly what kind of imbalance i have. I recommend to give it a go, but make sure you know about side effects and how it can mess with your internal system.

I've had all types of spots and very oily skin since I was 12, I have also tried many over the counter and prescription treatments nothing worked as well as Roaccutane. I just want something to work hence the trying of new things. But I guess we are all different and react in different ways. So far my skin has not been very cooperative. lol. I take 1 tablet of 15mg zinc twice a day. I've always had strong nails and long shiney thick hair, so I can't really see a differnce. I've been taking this amount of zinc for over a year. I may do a test and see what happens if I stop taking Zinc for one month. And I'll update.
