Zinc

I am 50 years old and the zince finally gave me a period of time totally acne free. Dr showed concern in taking the zinc long time because of its retention and sideeffects (depletes copper?) so I cut back and guess what? Acne came back. I am on the regimen again and already the active acne is clearing up. I have tried everything on the market, otc and prescription and nothing worked. I'm staying with the zinc.

I'm 36 and went back to school a couple of years ago. I've always had some light breakouts, but since I started school and my stress level increased, my skin became a lot worse. I would get cysts and considered going to a dermatologist, but I didn't want to deal with the hassle. I noticed that when my stress level was the highest that my skin would get really oily, almost like a waxy coating. I quit eating dairy, and that led to some improvement. I started taking zinc, and things felt smoother right away. Initially, my skin felt better and I broke out in places that I never had before, but I think things were clearing out. It's been really amazing what an improvement it has been! I take two zinc lozenges a day. Each has 23 mg of zinc, from gluconate, amino acid chelate, and zinc oxide. Each also has 100 mg vitamin C. The formula is intended for colds. I also wash my face with an SA soap and use a sulfur resorcinal topical. It worked for me and it

I started taking zinc a month ago.. All the acne on my back and chest clear up ...zero acne ... My face is doing great to is not completly clear but im cool with it rather have two small active pimples than 16 cyst like i had before

I believe this must balance hormones well. I've come to conclusion that I have hormonal acne and attacking with topicals isn't going to get me very far. I decided to try supplements. I've tried fish oil [no results], B5 [very drying but works ok], vitamin e [for scar healing and am still using it] and finally zinc [the cure]. I'm very impressed with what I'm seeing every time I look in the mirror. Zinc may be a cure for some people. I had quite severe acne. My cheeks, my forehead and chin were covered. Now only scars remain but they're fading quite quickly. I was becoming depressed before using Zinc due to no successful treatment options. Have tried everything including online pills designed for acne fighting such as Acneticin. If you haven't tried Zinc yet DO IT NOW! What do you have to lose? It's worth it. Go buy yourself 50mg of Chelated Zinc.

This stuff works real well, the new pimples I am getting are probably those that already were developing before i started this zinc regime. But everyday, my skin looks alot nicer, and I do have hormonal acne so zinc is definitely a key supplement to take if you have hormonal acne. Its cheap too, 8 dollars for 90 tablets of chelated zinc.

taking 50mg of zinc 2x a day (morning and night) along with a B-complex vitamin has totally eliminated my cystic acne.. i still get some pimples but my breakouts are reduced by like 80%... try the zinc

Ive been taking two 50mg pills a day for a month and finally im clearing up real good. just got a couple left but nowhere near the amount as i had before i started zinc. This really is my cure for acne.

I've taken Zinc as mutivitamins but i found that i doesnt really work. As those multivits also contain zinc inhibitors, like iron, copper. Thus a supplement is mandatory for the treatment to work. Also the type of zinc is critical. Chelat is touted to be the best of all.

it works! its only been 1 week since i've been taken 100mg dosage a day, the old ones are taking forever to go away & but the new ones went away fast! its working so i might see better results in 3 weeks...so im going to write another review...

*Cheap (Considering the large supply you have.. enough for 84 Days, and a good cleanser costs 10-20 bucks and only lasts a couple weeks) *Effective. *Mild Support in Evidence Based Medicine for Zinc {Low doses of zinc gluconate for inflammatory acne.
