Zinc

Didn't do much for me... I will just discontinue the product.

I have been taking a 25mg for 4 weeks. After reading some reviews, think I am using too low of a dose to see any type of improvements. I am only using 25mg - so for those of you wondering, this is probably not enough. I'll try upping my dose to 50mg and see if anything happens then and write another review again.

I took zinc when the fish oil didn't do anything for me. Within the first few months of taking zinc, I did notice a slight to moderate improvement in my acne. Then around the 4th month, I got side effects. Even though I took 50 mg of zinc every other day, I still got HORRIBLE headaches that would last for hours and it felt my joints were very sore. I went to the doctor and he advised me to stop taking it. As soon as I stopped, the pain went away and I was back to my normal self. I don't know if there was a contaminant in the zinc pills or what, but it made me very wary of taking supplements for acne again. You might not get these side effects, but you should still be careful when taking something.

boosts immune system and clears skin, so it can only do good!

it makes a difference in your skin and pimples do heal faster however it is not something that will completely clear your skin ..make sure you take it with food !

From the reviews I can see that Zinc helps guys way more than it helps girls. Zinc made a very small difference for me, but not a big enough one to waste money on it. Vitex helped far more (this is only for women and it is more for adult acne.) It looks like Zinc is good if you're a guy, but if you're a woman, I would probably skip it. There are better natural treatments out there. I would recommend this to a guy, but not to a girl.

Been taking zinc 50mg daily for a couple of months usually after a meal. Have noticed just minor improvement in skin. I do like it because it increases libido(sp). Generally feel better. Make sure you take it RIGHT after a meal. I just took a zinc tablet about an hour and an half after breakfast. As I'm writing this I'm feeling very weak at the moment. So make sure you take this with a meal to avoid this side effect.

I started taking zinc (50) and vitamin d3 (2200)tablets and vitamin c (1000 wit rose hip) twice a day it stopped breakout , in this two months I have had very few breakdouts that disappeared in 2-3days but it didn't do anything to my red marks on face it still looks the same when I started taking ...

I have had acne since the 4th grade, and i'm in the 9th grade. I started using Zinc(30mg) last week and i saw a difference. Then,4 dayss later i started using Mederma to get rid of my acne scars and it made me break out. So, i recommend you NOT to use Mederma while taking Zinc. Use Mederma once your face is clear.

I love zinc. I have VERY sensitive skin, it is bordering on rediculous. This doesnt cause any bad reaction in my skin. It cleared me up w/in 3 weeks. Also I have noticed a real reduction in the oiliness of my skin. I stopped for a while (1 week) and my skin got really oily again, and I broke out all over my jaw. So I started up again, and now it is great. I also like to desolve a tab in a little watter or apple cider vinegar to make a past and put on spots, or all over face and leave for 30 min - 1 hr. It works great. I also use apple cider vin / 1/2 water as an astrengent, and raw honey as a mask 2x a week. works GREAT!!!!!!!
