I was told that if you take 3 omega 3 fatty acid tablets a day it will clear up adult onset acne. Is it safe?

Make sure you take the fish oil based product and not the plant product, and it is safe.

ask your doc

of coarse its safe

Don't know if it'll work for you - depends on the person.
Do know that 2 of my kids cleared up their persistent acne by taking that old time "cure-all" - Cod Liver oil.
It has a lot of vitamin A in it which supposedly can build up so don't take too much.
Vitamin A has been known to help some people with certain skin problems which in my family seems to be the situation.
Cod liver oil can taste awful so they took capsules and it seemed to be more effective on their skin and less of a problem than other forms of vitamin A - along with the fact it's Fish Oil which has some of those fatty acids you mentioned.
