Pros:

Has cured me of acne i can;t believe it!

Cons:

none

have taken 50mg of the element zinc as zinc chelate (225mg zinc chelate) daily for 5 wks. HUGE improvement, my skin has never been this good on anything (have tried diane 35/roacutane/loads topicals) have stopped wearing concealer for the first time in 10 yrs. Note bottles say zinc chelate 75mg, this is only 15mg of actual zinc! don;t take with calcium or iron, or with wheat/whole grains as they contain phylates which block zn absorbtion.

Pros:

I can definitely tell a difference with my skin since taking this. I'm about 2 weeks in so far and am seeing great improvements. I still get acne, but when I do, it's very minimal now and even when I get something, it clears up very fast.

Cons:

None. Take with food and you should be fine. I haven't had any stomach problems taking 50mg of zinc daily.

Try it. It's apparent that the Western diet doesn't contain enough Zinc, so taking this definitely doesn't "hurt" you, even if it doesn't completely cure your acne.

Pros:

works , does not take long to notice it working. easy to use

Cons:

must be taken with food.

After reading the reviews here I decided to increase my zinc intake from the normal 15mg to 45mg. After about a week my skin is clearer and smoother. I now use a moisturiser with zinc in to at night. Both of these have made a huge difference in my skin!!

Pros:

It really works and it's inexpensive.

Cons:

Take with food, but not with dairy (calcium interferes with absorption)

I started using it after I hit 40 and began breaking out on my chin and chest. It works really well for me. I take 25 mg per day. I also take a multi-vitamin because zinc can deplete copper.

Pros:

Is an effective substitute/alternative to antibiotics without the side effects of antibiotics for acne.

Definitely provides more marginal benefits for acne than Proactiv.

Cons:

It works very well for some, moderately well for most others, no effect for a few others.

In my opinion, I think the conflicting results are due to those who doesn't have much relief from acne not taking note of certain things when taking zinc supplements for acne treatments. I have written and summaries all the things possible that you need to take note for zinc acne treatment. Zinc is a promising treatment for acne. Don't because of the following points as stated below, you conclude that it doesn't work for you. [link removed]

Pros:

Clearer skin. (50mg of Zinc)

Cons:

Have a hard time swallowing the tablets; have to crush it up the tablet with spoon.

Although I despise the tablets (I only wish they came in capsules!), zinc works wonders. Ever since I've started taking it, my skin has improved a lot -- and I only started taking it a few weeks ago. I only wish I knew about it sooner.

I had severe acne and had used all topical and oral medications except Accutane. I started taking 50 mg of zinc gluconate along with a Centrum multi-vitamin everyday for the past 6 weeks...and I don't get cysts anymore. I use a mild glyerine cleanser and that's it - all BP and SA products make me break out more!! I have only mild acne now so I'm very excited about that!
