Okay, let me give a brief update. In the past six weeks my acne flared up so bad that I decided to give Omega-3 fish oil a try. BTW, I also have really oily skin. I read up on it's benefits and it's good not only for acne but for overall health.

I've been taking fish oil for 3 weeks now and my supply will run out in about a week. For the first two weeks it didn't really do anything for my acne or my oily skin but I think it's having some effect now (I can't be sure as I've had a few minor breakouts and my skin is still healing from the previous breakouts). The pimples seem to come to a head faster, though.

My questions is, for those who have used it or are still using it, is it still having an effect? I would like to know whether to keep using it or to stop once my supply enRAB next week.
 
Hey, Just found this thread today. I recently discovered the magic of Omega 3 oil too! I started taking it because I heard it can help with stress and all sorts of stuff. About 2 weeks later I noticed my skin was the clearest its EVER been in my life... and this continued even through my menstrual period (when I tend to breakout the worst). I was trying to think of what I was doing different that was helping my acne, it was the Omega 3 Fish Oil.

I have been use "Nature Made" brand. I switched to Vitamine Shoppe brand and it had NO effect on me (then I discoverd they were one of many many MANY companies that got busted for not actually having the ingredients in their products that they list on the label). So I went right back to the "Nature Made" brand.

I am thinking of trying some brand of krill oil now too after reading some of the posts in this thread.
 
I use Puritans Pride Fish Oil. Ive been using it for about two months and yes I would say it is helping my acne because I am not getting cystic pimples anymore, only pustules. I would say keep taking it because when you are older, it will help prevent heart attacks.
 
Hi Guys, I researched on Omega 3 as well and i have found that there is a certain brand that is highly recommended. Maybe it would help you guys. "CARLSON LABS" omega 3 fish oil and many other types of fish oil from this brand is very good. It does a lot of filtering which helps with the impurities like mercury and many other filtering techniques. They seem to be the talk of the town cos its more natural and quality is their no 1 priority.
Please do your homework with the branRAB, cause some branRAB don't really do much filtering and some still contains some impurities such as mercury. I got mine from I H E R B. Use this code ASU931 for discounts. Hope this help with many of you. Good luck guys.
 
As far as I could recall, I think I saw Sundown products in Foodmaxx or Food for Less stores or you could try Lucky Stores ( they are pretty more inexpensive than other branRAB - try also K-Mart or Walmart) I am taking now Nature's Made, and it helped a lot. I had a severe adult acne ( 41 yrs old)that started last year ( May), then got worst around June-August. I took Tetracyline for 3 mos and after that I've had a simple regimen, cetaphil and oil free moisturizer, clindamycin solution/Mario Badescu drying lotion. I am 99% clear now ( i never had cystic pimples since then) I am taking Nature's Made or Nature's Bounty fish oil from Walgreens and I would say it helped a lot. I am also taking Beta Carotene w/ it. If my face is dull, I exfoliate. I just discovered something that works and doesnt irritate my skin ( not sure w/ others) though I have a sensitive/corabination skin. It's Clinique 7 day scrub-You would notice immediately after you use it, your skin is softer. Everybody has been asking me if I underwent some derma special treatments or procedure, NO. Going to the derma and have them pricked my face, for sure I would be sorry all my life for all the permanent scars that they would have created. I was just patient doing my regimen and more conscious of the products that I apply on my face.
 
I HAVE A QUESTION!

Does it help on hormonal acne for teenagers? I have mild, nothing serious. Will it still help? Or this is not for me.
