! Made in Small Batches, And They Sell Out
The intact form can't be churned out like the cheap synthetic omega-3, so we make Skinfora in small batches, and every one so far has sold out. The 28 October batch is 78% reserved. Reserve your spot before it's full, and subscribing keeps you first in line for every batch after. PS: Only available here, don't buy fakes on Amazon or eBay.

What other mums have said
Easier to judge for yourself than anything we could write. Press play.
What's in it, and why these ingredients
Two ingredients do the work on acne. Two keep her skin in balance.
Triglyceride-Form Omega-3
The form the body actually absorbs. It calms the inflammation that dairy and sugar spikes drive, the inflammation sitting under most breakouts. 2,000mg every serving.
Pantothenic Acid (B5)
Studied against acne for one job: turning the oil down. Less oil, clearer pores. It's the piece most acne supplements leave out.
The other two are support. Zinc helps calm and heal the skin, and copper keeps the zinc balanced for daily use.
- 2,000mg Triglyceride-Form Omega-3 (EPA + DHA)
- Pantothenic acid (B5), zinc, and copper
- The form the body absorbs, rTG, not cheap ethyl ester
- No harsh actives, no fillers
- Formulated teen-safe, for sons and daughters
- Third-party tested, every batch
- 30 servings per pouch, 2 softgels per serving
The form is the part everyone gets wrong
Most omega-3 on the shelf is ethyl ester, the cheap synthetic form the body barely absorbs. It isn't that omega-3 doesn't work for skin. Almost none of it gets in. Skinfora is triglyceride form, the way the body was built to absorb it, so the full 2,000mg actually reaches where it works.
From the mums who didn't expect it to work
Every one of them nearly didn't order.
"Honestly I thought it was too expensive. I left the tab open for two days. Then I added up what we'd spent at the dermatologist and the chemist in a year and I stopped arguing with myself about it."
"We'd already done a probiotic from the chemist for two months and it did absolutely nothing, so I nearly scrolled past. This one was different for her. I couldn't tell you the science of why, but by week six the difference was obvious. She takes them herself with breakfast too, I've never once had to remind her."
"I don't have the energy to write a big glowing review. Three years of prescriptions, diets, a light mask that cost more than my first car. I bought this expecting nothing. It's month four and her skin is mostly clear. That's the review."
How you take it
Two capsules with breakfast. With or without food, no timing rules, nothing to apply at night. They're smooth-coated vegetable capsules and go down easily with any drink, one at a time if that's easier. Two capsules, done.
Nothing dramatic on the skin yet. The rebalancing starts in the gut first.
Fewer new spots forming. Redness starting to settle instead of spreading.
Where most parents said the difference became obvious, and it keeps improving from here.
An honest note
The gut rebalances before the skin shows it, so the first few weeks are usually quiet.
Early signs, fewer new spots and less redness, tend to show within the first several weeks.
The parents who reported real change said it came around three months. Plan on three months, and don't judge it at week four.
And those three months are covered: 90 days, money back, no bottle to return.

I'm tired even writing this. Almost two years of deep, painful cysts along her jaw and chin, the kind that ache for days before they ever surface. Three dermatologists. Two rounds of antibiotics that worked for a month and then stopped. Accutane was next on the table and I didn't have it in me.
A friend mentioned the gut connection and I rolled my eyes. Another supplement. I ordered it anyway, mostly because I'd run out of other ideas. The first two weeks nothing happened, and I thought, of course.
Around week three the new ones stopped coming. By two months the old cysts had faded to marks. I'm not going to tell anyone what to do. I'll just say she stopped angling her face away from the camera.

My son is 15 and the breakouts had spread from his face down to his back and shoulders. He's a confident kid everywhere except in his own skin, he wore a hoodie all through summer just to cover up. That's a hard thing to watch as a parent and not be able to fix.
I'll be honest, when I saw the price I closed the tab. It felt expensive. Then one night I added up what we'd already spent, the washes, the spot treatments, the prescription cream that just dried him out and left him peeling, the appointments. The number surprised me. I stopped arguing with myself about it.
What I liked was that it wasn't one more thing to smear on already-irritated skin. Two capsules with breakfast and that was it, no routine to nag him about every night.
It wasn't overnight, six or seven weeks before I noticed his forehead clearing. But by around three months his back was the thing that genuinely shocked me. He took his shirt off at the pool without thinking twice. He doesn't talk about his skin anymore, which is exactly how it should be for a 15-year-old.

Mom of a younger daughter · Early cystic acne, ~10 months

"I found this through a Facebook ad and I assumed it was one of those scam products. But my daughter is only 12, she was crying at the mirror before school, and I was out of ideas…"
Read her full story ↓
My daughter is only 12 and started getting these deep bumps really early. I didn't want to put a child that young on heavy medication, but watching her cry at the mirror before school wasn't something I could ignore either. I was stuck between two things I didn't want.
I found this through a Facebook ad, and I'll say it straight, I assumed it was one of those scam products. I ordered one bottle half expecting nothing to show up. It arrived on the day they said. I emailed a question about the capsules and an actual person replied the next morning. Nothing strange ever happened with my card. So we kept going.
A small surprise was her stomach settling too. She'd been getting aches after certain foods for a while and I'd never connected it to her skin at all.
Around the one-month mark the redness calmed down, and by week eight or so the cystic ones were fewer and smaller. She's not "perfectly clear," I want to be honest about that. It's still improving, so we'll see.
"Different degrees of clinical improvement were observed in 80% of acne patients."
