Zinc

It's only been a week and my face broke out somewhat harshly when I first started. But I can feel it working the same way accutane did. It's making my skin tight, the pores are shrinking and I'm not getting pimples not for 2 days. We'll see how it lasts. To be fair, I have been taking 50mg a day along with A and B-6. So I dunno if it's the combination or one single vitamin working...but I think it's gonna work. I faith!!! hah. I've tried so much nonsense to try and get rid of acne. Aside from my accutane period (which cleared everything) I've battled it since I was 12. I'm 21 now and it's REALLY bad on my chest and back. And moderate on my face. But they get real big and red so even just a few pimples looks REALLY bad. The zinc is helping that though! I recommend giving it a try! At night I also use some BP. That usually helps it along to but also contributes to the drying. Good luck to all of you and I'll let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed this time!

After suffering for a long with acne, going to dermatologists and using antibiotics for years, I decided to try zinc. I can not believe how well it works for me. It has done more for my skin than any antibiotic or retin-a. I still get a few spots (usually hormone related), but overall my skin is crystal clear. I am so grateful I actually tried this.

you can see result after 3 days of taking it!! my acne dries up fast and lessen the production of oil on my face!! this is awesome! try it! its cheap and effective. I've tried proactiv but it never help..

i was tired of doing 3 step topical treatments twice a day. i guess im kind of lazy. lol and i also really wanted to get rid of my acne from the inside out because i have back acne too and im embarrassed to wear anything sleeveless. i take prescription meds (not for acne) in the AM and PM so i just put the zinc pills in each daily slot of my pill organizer so i never forget to take them. i really didnt think it would work cause my acne is STUBBORN but after about 5-7 days no big pimples showed up, my old acne started going away, and ive only gotten like 2-3 new small pimples instead of the usual 10ish new pimples after a period of 5-7 days. my complexion even looks different somehow. in a good way of coarse. ive been taking 100mgs of nature valleys zinc everyday. cheap stuff you can get at freakin walmart. 50mgs in the morning and 50mgs at night i doubled the dose that the directions said since im using it specifically for acne and not as an every day health supplement. i can only imagine it getting better from here! i just cant believe its working after just a week! if i can keep forcing myself to do a three step acne system at least once a day, preferably at night because sleeping right after treating my skin makes the results to be alot better in the morning, then combining the two will hopefully clear up my skin 80%-90% in a couple weeks. im even considering adding another 50mg zinc pill to see if it will work faster/better. im just so excited that my complexion is clearing up so fast! i just hope this doesnt backfire on me. i recommend this to EVERYONE! if it doesnt work for you then you should just continue to take the zinc till the bottle is empty cause zinc is good for you anyways. oh and the reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it does cause a tad bit of nausea if you dont take it with a good amount of food in your stomach.

I have been taking 50mg a day for about a month and have noticed little changes. It helps but isnt a cure so be patient. You may have to take more than the reccommended amount as well... which can be harmful.

So basically this is really good and has helped me when my face needed an extra boost internally to help kill bad bacteria. I saw significant results when i took them. Just be very sure to take with food. So once,i had gotten my acne under control i stopped taking them and my acne hasnt returned so it really doest boost your immune system pretty well. Also i might add for those of you who have hormone related acne zinc actually raises testosterone so just be cautious because it can throw your hormones out of balance if you take too much.

TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

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.

have been taking zinc tablets for three days now and to treat cystic spots and it seems to be working a treat recommended highly.
