Omega-3 Supplements
Usually skin-friendlierWhy this food shows up for acne
EPA/DHA supplementation supports a healthier omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, and small trials (often 10-12 weeks) have linked it to reduced inflammatory lesion counts for some people. This is a background-inflammation effect, not a rapid single-day one.
Patterns people associate with this food
- Uncommon as a primary acne driver for most people
- Still watch meal context (fried prep, sugary sauces)
How to test it in real life
Track dose and consistency over 6-8+ weeks minimum before judging effect; same-week comparisons won't show meaningful change.
