Pros:

None.

Cons:

I took chelated zinc supplements for 6 weeks, having read in a book ('the clear skin diet') that it helps acne. I didn't see any improvements in my skin, though, and ended up with a fairly severe iron deficiency at the end of 6 weeks. I later found out that zinc inhibits the absorption of iron, which explains why I started getting headaches, fatigued etc. whilst on these supplements.

Be very careful not to give yourself an iron deficiency by taking zinc. I personally think a multivitamin is the best option, as this ensures you're getting everything you need - zinc included.

Pros:

may prevent other problems related to low zinc intake

Cons:

didn't help at all maybe made it worse and you have to take a pill every day

its probably not going to work so try something else first but i guess if you are out of options try this it didn't work for me but nothing else does either so maybe i'm just immune to almost any type of remedy

Pros:

None

Cons:

Makes your nauseous

I took Zinc for a few weeks and noticed no difference what so ever. Be careful because as everyone says, it makes your stomach turn, especially if you take it on empty!

Pros:

Not expensive. Must be good for other things but acne.

Cons:

Did not do anything for my acne.

When I was using this, I had severe acne. It did not do anything in the one month I used this. I think some of these holistic medications are overrated.
