In reply to fish oil side effects: acne + other changes, posted by chinablue on August 22, 2007, at 23:28:16
Perhaps a different brand would help. I experienced acne too from fish oil and because someone else commented on this board that a different brand helped them, I tried that too and it helped.
I currently take Natural Factors, RxOmega-3 Factors Pharmaceutical Grade Omega 3 Oils purchased online from iHerb which has the best price I've found so far. http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=4251&at=0 This brand also has 400 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA, double the usual, so I can take fewer capsules.

> I ate fish oil for about a month. i was a happier camper. however, it made my acne go crazy. i stopped taking it about a week ago. my pores are still enlarged. any idea how long or whether they will return to normal? i have also noticed other facial changes - i seem to have a mild moon face. am i crazy or is this possible?
