Zinc Vitamins for Acne

Zinc is one of the most important minerals in the body when it comes to producing healthy skin. Research since the 1990s has show that vitamins made with zinc can be very helpful and healing when it comes to acne, rosacea and other skin problems. Zinc helps promote cell growth and reproduction, two important elements when it comes to fighting acne.

Zinc Gluconate

Take about 200 mg of zinc gluconate orally to help reduce acne inflammation. Zinc gluconate will reduce the severity of bad acne breakouts. The zinc gluconate can have the same impact on acne as antibiotics. Taking oral zinc gluconate will also help even out hormone levels, which should also reduce acne.

Zinc Oxide

Zinc oxide is applied topically. It will help reduce the production of oil and sebum that causes acne and that will keep the pimples that have already formed from getting worse.

Zinc Methionine

Zinc methionine is one of the most effective forms of zinc, and it is also used with grape seed extract to provide added antioxidant protection. Taken in 150 mg doses, this will reduce the severity of acne breakouts and bring skin back to normal within a few days. Staying on the regimen should bring the patient much healthier skin.
