I do not think dairy should be considered a good source for ALA (alpha linolenic acid). Dairy contains mostly saturated fatty acids that will worsen acne, since it stimulates 5 alpha reductase.
I personally do not consider flax seed safe since it contains lignans with phytoestrogen properties and hydrogen cyanide. Phytoestrogens should be avoided if your are male and hydrogen cyanide should be avoided by anyone unless you are suffering from cancer.
