“Hi, I have heard this and also experienced with my friend. It really helped with her PCOS (insulin resistance) and indirectly acne and hairfall. However, I have hypothyroidism and am on levothyroxine and have been asked by my doctor not to drink it as it interferes with thyroid levels. So please be cautious while taking it and run it by your doctor once.”
U/TSCHUGH ↗“I dont do any diet but yeah i dont eat junk food, but my uncles used to take it and he did not do any diet and reduce significant amount of weight”
U/LOWCOMMUNICATION709 ↗“If you are not feeling hungry thats good That means you are not over eating which means no EXCESS calories. The same thing ozempic does. But make sure you are getting all the nutrition from whatever you are eating, all the macros and micro nutrients. Keep doing what you are doing but make sure to eat a proper nutritious meal. This kind of thing usually leads to muscle loss. And lastly you are not losing weight because of the seed but the seeds are not making you hungry and hence you are not eating excess calories and getting the necessary deficit”

Add context that might help others — skin type, conditions like PCOS, what you'd tried before. The more specific, the more useful.
