Pros:

AMAZING! In 10 DAYS MY SKIN WAS COMPLETELY CLEAN AND SMOOTH. I WAS MORE ACNE FREE THEN I HAVE EVER BEEN...EVER!

Cons:

If you take it on an empty stomach....you can throw up and feel VERY sick.

I started using it 2 weeks ago. After using it once a day every day for 10 days, my skin was SO SMOOTH and absolutly NO acne. NO JOKE. Also, my skin had a glow, it looked tan, And my cheeks looked very blushy in a cute way. TRY THIS! For the first couple days it doesent seem to work, but just keep using it consistently and in 10 days you will see a difference!

Works like accutane without the side effects!
PROS: Started working after two days. I stopped breaking out. CONS: Current acne took forever to go away, like (a month) NOTE: I do break out once in a while, but not because of Zinc. It was more my diet, but even if i do breakout now, they are very small and usually does not surface, and if it does, it is a very small pimple that comes to a head the next day.

My acne cure!
I have struggled with adult acne for years. I recently started taking 50 mg of zinc per day and my skin cleared up completely in three days. I haven't had a single blemish in over a month. I wish I had discovered this natural cure years ago! I would have saved myself a lot of grief. Give it a try!

are you using zin gluconate or zinc piliconate ??
June 26, 2016
I've had great results with both, but I will say that zinc picolinate seems to be easier on my stomach. Regardless of which kind you use, just make sure you take it with a full meal.

When you acne cleared up did you stop taking it?

Pros:

*AMAZING!!!! AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!!!
*Inexpensive
*Anti-inflammatory
*no side effects
*a natural remedy
*an essential mineral for an overall support of the immune system
*improves the overall appearance of the skin

Cons:

absolutely no cons. =)

I've struggled with terrible hormonal acne for the last 2 years and it was extremely embarrassing to have clusters of stubborn cystic acne along the jawline and on chin. I tried absolutely everything and nothing worked. However, after using Zinc for about 2 months now I cannot believe how my skin has cleared up!! I am thrilled to say that I am officially pimple free! Initially, for the first week, I was taking 50 mg of zinc daily ( 25 mg in the morning and 25 mg in the evening). However, I then lowered the dosage to just 25 mg a day and I find that 25 mg is still very substantial and works fantastic! I would recommend zinc to everyone!!!!!

Pros:

Zinc works. I'm not 100% clear, but there is a HUGE improvement. I no longer get big breakouts, rather, I get a small pimple here or there. My skin is way less oily too! I can wear less makeup now because I don't really need it except to cover the scars. Just try it!!! I wish I had known about the benefits of zinc years ago!

Cons:

None

I don't like to swallow pills, so I take two zinc lozenges a day (each is 23 mg.) I take them after a meal and have never had and problems with nausea. It's super cheap, I think I got a two month supply for around $6. Also, try the Zinc Margarite cream. I've been using that for a week at night and it makes a huge difference. Basically speeds up the healing process and can shrink some blemishes in just one night. Doesn't dry my skin out more than any other acne products.

Only thing that worked for hormonal acne

Pros:

Less oily and brighter looking skin
Effective after just a few days of using
Cheap and easy to find on drug stores

Cons:

Doesn't cure current pimple on face
Known to cause Copper deficiency so if you take this, also take Copper supplement

I just learned about Zinc in acne.org. And now I made an account just to rave about it and hopefully to help people having the same hormonal acne problem. I'm a 25 year old female. I have had acne in the chin area since high school. It doesn't go away and they are very huge, when a pimple is cured another big one shows up again. It's a depressing cycle. Not only is it ugly but it is very painful as well. I have tried everything. I wash my face with a very gentle facial wash, I always eat healthy and drink a lot of water, I change my pillow cases after a few days, I remove my makeup at night and sleep well. Usual advice to cure acne but nothing seems to work for me. No matter how clean I keep my face it's still there. Then I learned that you can only cure hormonal acne internally. Having read zinc is a possible treatment, I bought 15mg daily supplements from the drug store. Taking Zinc made a huge difference to my skin. Although it did not cure the present pimple on my face, after just a few days of taking it, no new pimple pops up! I have been using this for 2 months and I am happy to say that the last pimple that I had was the one before I took Zinc. I now combine it with Vitamin C supplement. You don't have to take a huge amount of Zinc everyday. I take 15mg of Zinc Gluconate everyday. You can also just take a multivitamin tablet that contains Zinc. If you're a female and you have chin acne especially at that time of the month, you probably have hormonal acne like me. Zinc balances your hormones and taking it can help you a lot. I did not make a review immediately because I want to see it for myself first. I am very satisfied with taking it and I highly recommend it. After 10 years of hormonal acne, I am now pimple free and my skin looks glowing.

Pros:

cleared up acne, whiteheads and blackheads
cheap

Cons:

none

i am 26 years old and have had moderate acne for at least 10 years. i have tried a lot of washes and spot treatments but nothing has worked like zinc. i created this account just to review zinc and tell other people to try it. i take 15 mg twice a day and noticed results in just a few weeks. 2 months later, my skin is completely acne free! i also don't have as many whiteheads or blackheads. do yourself a favor and try zinc. it is cheap and easy to use.

Pros:

it cleared my acne in 3 weeks

Cons:

tastes bad, can turn your stomach if taken with empty stomach

TRUST ME. You got nothing to lose by trying this. no side effects. Take 50mg per day. And you will see difference. I haven't had a pimple since I started taking this other than tiny zits. This is better than ANY OTHER products, lotions, antibiotics, prescriptions I have tried. You must try.

Pros:

dramatically reduces oil, smooths out skin's texture, begins to eliminate blackheads within a week (for me at least), reduces redness, stops breakouts
--taking 75 mg/day

Cons:

none so far

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!

Pros:

clears acne
reduces oil

Cons:

can make you sick if you take too much
too much symtoms: stomach ache, abdominal cramps, nauseua

You must use zinc chelated. this has cleared me 95%. it works! if you do not use it then you will keep getting acne. i am sure it will not work for everyone. i have tried 20 different products and this is the only one that has worked. i take 15 mg 3 times a day. so 45! this will clear your acne 100%. it is all about how much you take! take more if you are not clear. the more you take the more clear you get. seriusly. i took 30mg but now i take 45 and i am finally clear.
