Reddit’s top pick with Zinc

What the science says

Zinc

Strong evidence for acne
  • Zinc may help acne, but the evidence is limited and not fully consistent
  • 19 studies back this, including several large reviews
  • Most studies found fewer pimples, blackheads and whiteheads with zinc than with a placebo or no treatment
  • Zinc often worked about as well as some acne treatments, but less well than others in some studies
  • Side effects were generally fewer or similar with zinc, but one finding did not list the common side effects
