Uh, as a note, zinc intake can be highly tied to diet and even wearing dentures. Zinc toxicity is a real thing. I only learned this because recently my doctor stopped me from taking a beauty supplement because of the stupidly high levels of zinc and my current diet (which has a lot of nuts, which have zinc). If you already take a multivitamin with zinc, use zinc-based denture adhesives, or consume a metric crap ton of oysters on a regular basic, educate yourself on the effects of zinc toxicity.

If you -don't- take any zinc, this still hits the upper limits of the daily recommended intake. It's a darn good deal for a beauty supplement!
Cut out the sugar, refined grains and seed oils and the acne will improve greatly if not go away completely. Its primary cause is inflammation.
Aren't supplements supposed to refrain from making claims they can treat or mitigate any disease or medical condition? How do they substantiate their claim that this is an effective treatment for acne? I'd also be leery of taking 9 times the USRDA of anything (1 tablet is 455%, label says take 2 a day), you're just forcing your kidneys to process and get rid of all the excess.

I'll add milk to that. I stopped drinking milk and my acne reduced dramatically.

Not showing the coupon for me for some reason. Still buying and hoping it will help with my hormonal acne that started after TRT. Down to to try anything at this point. TRT has caused horrible cystic acne as an adult, hope this helps. Thanks OP.

I usually take 25mg of zinc. Too much zinc is not necessarily good for you. However, it is a great immune system booster. Great to take in the winter months along with Vitamin D.

Indeed. But there can be gray areas in the law, and regulatory agencies do not have unlimited resources. Often enforcement comes in the form of class action claims. Some good discussion of recent trends in the topic here: https://www.chpa.org/news/2022/04/chpa-chat-dietary-supplement-claims-and-class-action-lawsuits​ [chpa.org]

If I were on the marketing team at Puritan's Pride, I would've recommended the product be labeled "Zinc for Skin Health" instead of what they have now.

https://www.fda.gov/food/dietary-supplements -> "FDA regulates both finished dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients."

They are regulated under a different set of regulations than those that cover foods and drugs, however.
