SkinVance + Zinc generally has a low risk of side effects when used as directed and at recommended dosages. Most side effects, if they occur, are mild and gastrointestinal in nature, such as abdominal discomfort or nausea, especially when larger doses of the individual ingredients are taken. It is recommended to take SkinVance + Zinc with meals to reduce the chance of these side effects[5][7].
Zinc itself, as an ingredient, can cause additional side effects at higher doses or in sensitive individuals. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, mouth irritation, mouth sores, and a metallic taste[1][2][4][6]. Very high doses may result in more serious effects such as fever, headache, coughing, fatigue, and even reduced absorption of copper or iron, which can lead to mineral deficiencies[1][2][8]. Rarely, allergic reactions can occur, presenting as rash, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing, which would require immediate medical attention[3].
SkinVance + Zinc should not be used by those who are hypersensitive or allergic to any of its components. It is also not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding[7].
