  • does taking zinc supplements really help with acne?

    Posted under zinc acne by Dan Johnson on Wednesday 31 December 2008

    i read somewhere that they help and i was just wondering if that is true or not…
    i also heard that they help with oily skin and reduce the oil…

    Nutritional supplements that may be helpful: Several studies indicate that zinc supplements reduce the severity of acne.1 In one study, zinc was found to be as effective as oral antibiotic therapy.2 Many people with acne take 30 mg of zinc two or three times per day for a few months, then 30 mg per day thereafter. It often takes twelve weeks before any improvement is seen

    2. umm well ive been taking them for like the past what, 4 days ? they seem to be working, but i wouldnt like depend on it. but what really does work is if yu crush up a couple zinc tablets and crush up some aspirin and mix it together, then add water and wear as a face mask during yur shower. [the steam will let it go thru yur pores and detoxify them] it works for me, so i guess itd work for yu as well.
