I say not. I tried it and it made my skin feel funny. But you might be different so it might for you.

Not for me personally. It made my face sting really bad. What works for my acne is sulfur soap. I get it on amazon for a few bucks but I've also recently found some at ulta.

Zinc works for some people because it is a more natural sunscreen, but it all depends on your skin because everybody's is different. It is thicker and greasier and leaves a very white cast.

I take a zinc pill every day and I have seen tremendous improvements with my acne. When I don't take them I notice my face gets more oily. I do take prescription meds from the derm but I can tell the zinc definitely helps. Also I take beta carotene and that helps!! And to answer your question on the sulfur products...I use sulfur soap that the derm gave me and I love it! I can definitely see a difference. I used to use a liquid sulfur treatment but I was put on a retinoid because my acne was so bad. I also just bought the De La Cruz ointment but I don't like it because it just dries out my skin and it never dries so it slides down my face. Look into Joesoef's sulfur soap because that's the brand I use and has the liquid treatment I used. It totally helped!
