I'm 35yo, and really wish i'd discovered this 15 years ago, can only imagine the great condition my skin would be in now, not to mention the long-term damage of all the medications (tetracycline, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, proactiv) i've taken that could have been avoided. I've been taking an omega-3 fish oil supp for about a month and a half now (actually started taking them for add and mood), and this is the best my skin has been in longer than I remember, even better than when I was on antibiotics for 2 years for it.... I wouldn't recommend that if you haven't done it, I think it really screwed up my system, my digestion has certainly never been the same since.
Anyway, thumbs up for Omega 3's, my pores feel tighter and less clogged up, and I haven't had any of those deep cystic pimples since I started. My skin is still on the oily side, and I'm still getting one or 2 zits every week, but the small kind on the surface that are completely healed in a day or two. The miracle cure I was always looking for.....
I'm taking NSI brand Mega EFA, 2 or 3 pills a day. 2 pills has 2126mg of fish oil, 800 EPA and 400 DHA. Molecularly distilled (no mercury) and no fishy taste or burps, at all. Pretty big pills, but I think they make a smaller one too.... I also take 50mg of zinc every day (which helped when I started), and don't overwash my face, only once or twice a day. That and a mild, fragrance free lotion. If I'd been following this regimen when I was younger, instead of scrubbing my face raw 3 times a day and slathering chemicals on my skin, I think my skin would be in way better shape today......
