Zap it with Zinc

It is recommended that you also take a daily multivitamin because increased levels of zinc require more Copper and Manganese. Examine effectiveness after 14 weeks. Some individuals report results in as little as 3 weeks. You acne may get worse before it gets better during your intake of zinc. Zinc is of course not a cure at all - end all for your acne. However, some individuals have reported zinc being 75% effective for acne treatment. Zinc aids in healing of tissue and assists in preventing scarring. It also is important for the body in resisting infection and inflammation. Apply zinc by powdering it all over the face and its much more likely to work. Also it dries up oils and for some people, can cause the pimples themselves to dry up immediately. You can get zinc oxide in things like gold bond medicated powder or pinaud clubman talc. Its great, the only drawback is that you can only use a slight amount during the day because its visible when dry but it’s a must for overnight use.
