Pros:

Reduces breakouts

Cons:

Its advised to take with food but I still get nausua for an hour after taking

I take a 50mg tablet once a day with food. Been taking on and off for the past couple months. When I started taking zinc I was seeing less breakouts within a week, but I was doing other treatments at the same time so I wasnt sure if it was the zinc, once I stopped taking the zinc I broke out more so I am back on it and have been seeing improvement. :)

Pros:

clears up acne

Cons:

can give tummy ache

I started taking Zinc 60mg at a time and my acne cleared right up. I cut my dosage back to 30mg at a time due to the tummy aches 60mg at a time was giving me. I have stayed clear and have even been able to cut benzoyl peroxide out of my regimen. If I see a pimple coming up I take an extra 30mg Zinc and it clears up really fast.

Pros:

Reduces oil production

Cons:

Takes time
hasnt fully cured acne but have hope that it would.

Ive been taking GNC zinc 50mg for 2 weeks now and i must say it has reduced oil production dramatically but it hasnt really done much on pimples.I noticed that in the first few days, i had more small zits and whiteheads which are now slowly diminishing as time goes on.However, im still keeping my hopes that it would at least clear my skin.

Pros:

none

Cons:

made my skin more oily

I have used chelated Zinc for 4 weeks, 2 30mg pills a day. I started to break out on my forehead (where I usually don't get acne) on the 2nd week. I've noticed that my whole face is becoming more and more oily and greasy and nasty on the 3rd week.

Pros:

helps clear acne by aiding the immune system

Cons:

none

i am 18 years old and other than the past year i had never even gotten a pimple. over the past year or so i have struggled with pretty bad acne. i take a multi-vitamin (15mg of zinc) plus one 50 mg zinc tablet daily. i started off with 65mg a day for 2 weeks and it seemed to work so i increased it to 100 mg a day but it seemed to worsen my acne so for the past week ive gone back to 65mg and all has been well. its definitely worth trying zinc.

Pros:

I don't know... it's good for you? I guess it reduces inflammation

Cons:

It doesn't really make a difference for me...

I started taking 50mg religiously for a few weeks.... i took it with vitamin d, and omega 3... It didn't make much of a difference for me, I guess when i stopped i got one cyst, but i think it might be from some other factors cause i was changing up my routine during that time... I'm starting it again just for the hell of it, but i dan is right most of the effect is probably placebo... I guess it works better for other people

I've literally only been using this product for 5 days, but I have not had ONE new pimple since then. It's amazing. I always get at least one, if not a lot more new pimples each day. I LOVE Zinc.

Pros:

- clears your skin naturally
- easy to use
- dramatically improves skin texture
- dramatically reduces breakouts
- dramatically reduces redness/inflammation

Cons:

- can upset stomach

liquid zinc is the best acne treatment i've ever used. i am 35 and have suffered with mild to moderate acne since my teens. i wish i had started this kind of zinc earlier in life... might have saved me a little bit of scarring and a lot of stress and emotional upset! it began to work and clear my skin right away, but took daily use for almost 1-2 mos before i was entirely clear. if i get any blemishes now, they are very few, really small, clear quickly and mostly are hormonal. i only take supplements & wash w/mild cleanser now yet this is the best treatment i've ever tried. PLEASE TRY ZINC IF YOU HAVE ACNE, ESP. HORMONAL. YOU'LL BE GRATEFUL & HAPPY like me.
