What vitamins are good for acne-prone skin? What daily vitamin do you recommend to take if I have acne prone skin? I would like to reduce the acne, and I also have dry skin sometimes. So, I guess what I'm saying is that I would like to find a vitamin that could help with reducing acne, and just be all around good for skin to make it healthy & stuff. Thanks. ____ replied: "i dont think vitamins have anything to do with acne."

May replied: "Zinc is proven to heal acne, so you should take some everyday. It can be from vitamin pills or from food. The other vitamins are good for health and skin, but zinc is good for it's properties. If you currently have outbreaks and zits all over, you may use zinc supplements to alleviate what you are going through. Zinc can help heal your blemishes, reduce the inflammation, and reduce the androgenic effect of hormones on your skin. Thus, if you want your pimples to heal faster, taking some zinc supplements may be a good idea."
Angel G replied: "Yeah its not the vitamins you take its the foods you put in. You must stay away from sweets. Vitamins C and E will help though. But better than spending money on vitamins C and E buy oranges and eat them twice a day. Unfortunealy I forget what foods give you vitamin E. As to dry skin 1. Drink your 8 glasses of water per day. Buy the ALOE leaf from the supermarket, wash outside, cut section off,open and apply the slimy/jelly to your face let dry then wash off really,really well(this is the natural way to do it). Good luck."
beauty gal replied: "1. Intake of Vitamin A, C, and E. Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that would help the body get rid of unwanted free radicals. Free radicals are foreign particles that result from exposure to air pollution, peroxides and radiation. A better alternative is alpha-tocopheral which is a potent form of Vitamin E. Vitamins A and C, on the other hand, help regenerate skin cells. These combines would allow your acne scars to heal faster. These vitamins can be derived from their natural sources, or from widely-available supplements.
2. Intake of collagen supplements. Collagen supplements stimulate the body's production of collagen. Collagen is an insoluble fibrous protein that expedites the repair of dead tissues and skin cells. As with the vitamins enumerated above, collagen would also help your acne scars heal at a faster rate. Collagen supplements come in ointments, or through laser technology using soft, red light.
3. Good skin care. Acne scars can heal naturally, minus other intervening conditions like diabetes or some form of skin disease. Healing time is estimated at 6 to 12 months. The important thing to remember as you wait for your acne scars to heal is that you shouldn't do anything that would aggravate the situation. Proper skin care can help your acne scars heal properly, and perhaps even faster.

Vitamins for Acne/better skin.? i recently went on a whole variety of vitamins to try and fix my acne. i'm taking zinc, copper, alpha lipoic acid, salmon oil, vitamin e-complex, and biotin. is there anything i could be missing? : ) replied: "nope that sounds good zinc really helps but it takes a couple weeks ( ="

alamahara replied: "You should be really careful here. Have you talked to your doctor about vitamin therapy. You could be taking too much or be mixing ones that you shouldn't.
Acne is typically an issue caused by hormones and bacteria. Both a bad combo. Nutrition usually has nothing to do with it. I think you would do better using an over the counter product or visiting a dermatologist."
fender_199_1999 replied: "I feel your pain and I can help you. But you have to follow this to a T.
I had terrible acne. Pimples on top of pimples on top of pimples for years. I tried every over the counter product and I tried half of the ones that doctors precribed and none of them did anything but make my skin super dry. The pimples still came through.
After years of dealing with it I finally developed a way to battle this on my own.
Here is the deal.
Acne is not due to any 1 certain thing. Its a condition of multiple things going wrong at the same time. Below I will describe all of these things and how they make your acne flare up. But it is important to remember that you need to correct as many of them as possible. If you correct all of them exept 2 your will still have bouts with acne. You have to correct all of them... and then keep them corrected.
*Stress, Fretting, and Selfconsciousness
This can be one of the worst things to change. Mainly for the fact that there is a cycle here. You get acne and you stress and feel subconscious.
Stress is not just a psychological thing. Its physiological too.
When a dog chases you, your body has a chemical rush.. the flight or flight phenomenon. Your body releases a RUSH of chemicals in order for you to manage the situation and survive.
Stress is "chemically" very much the same as the adrenaline rush that you feel. A dog chasing you causes you stress... so you get that Rush of chemicals. However, when you stress about things such as homework, your car insurance, and your acne... there isn't really an immediate need for the chemicals. Rather than RUSHING out... the chemicals leak out... they seep out.
This seeping consists of a LOT of chemicals, and these chemicals in turn trigger a lot of other chemicals.
It may not sound like a big deal, but if your body is constantly locked in a mode of mild aggitation it can cause serious problems. Not just acne, but after prolonged periods you may develop heart problems, increased risk of cancer and stroke.
To come full circle... the slow steady aggitation of stress will cause an excess of body chemicals that normally shouldn't be there. This will lead to increased Acne.
*Diet
I could go on about diet forever. However, I think this is a quite obvious cause of Acne so I'll keep it short. If you eat like a disgusting human being, you are going to look like a disgusting human being. Its as simple as that.
You really need to do your best to elimanate fats, soda, candy, sugar, potatoe chips, white bread, cheese, ice cream, chocolate, salt, and fast food from your diet. Not only do you need to eliminate these things, you need to replace them with LOADS of water, veggies, fruits, nuts, whole grain bread, whole wheat bread.
One other thing you might not realize is that anything that is easy to cook is terrible for you. You need to try to avoid canned foods, boxed foods, and freezer foods. If its fast and easy its deadly and it will flare your acne.
*Clenliness
Clenliness is pretty obvious too. And I don't doubt that you are a clean person. When I talk about clenliness what I am referring to is the little things that you might not realize.
For instance... you go to school. You touch the railing on the way up the stairs. You touch the doorknob to the classroom. You touch your desk and your pencil that has never been cleaned in its lifetime. Your hand sweats. You reach up to wipe the hair out of your face or scratch your nose and what have you done?
You've just scratched, pressed, wiped and streaked about 50 varieties of bacteria into the pores of your face. Who would love nothing more than to find a warm greasy nutrient filled little hole to make their babies in.
I know you are a clean person.. but you need to become aware of these sorts of mishaps.
Carry a travel bottle of hand sanitizer with you in your bookbag, in your car and at home on your desk. Whenever you touch a doorknob, your keyboard, your steering wheel, or whatever, just make a tiny mental note that your hands are dirty. As soon as you have time, give those babies an alcohol bath and suffer those little germies.
Warning... don't go overboard and go germ crazy. You can't kill them all :)
*Drinking/Drugs Unhealthy behavior
I like to have some beer and wine. But the idea here is moderation. If you have 2-3 beers you aren't going to be breaking out because of it. However if you have 2-3 beers every night for 3 nights in a row.. you might start to notice a difference in your complexion.
Have fun... enjoy yourself... but learn to moderate beer/marijuana/etc.
Remember that alcohol is a poison. If your body is trying to clean your system of poisons... it has that much less manpower to fight the bacteria growing in your pores.
*Colds or other illness
When you get a cold, or you have the stomach flu, your body goes into damage mode. It'll likely put the small infections such as your acne on hold in order to fight the larger infections.... such as the bacteria in your stomach that are trying to kill you.
This is also why some people get fever blisters when they get sick. Normally the body is keeping the virus at bay... but when they get sick the immune system gets a bit overloaded and has to prioritize.
Unfortunately, Acne is one of the least priorities on the list.
If you get sick... you are likely to have an outbreak.
*Sunlight
Sunlight is full of UV rays... UV rays are bad for your skin if you get too many right? Well for that very same reason they are VERY deadly to microorganisms.
UV rays scramble the germs DNA and they cease to function and die.
What I'm trying to stress here is that Emo kids who lock themselves in the basement and sit in front of the computer don't have this added advantage. Don't go nuke yourself in a tanning bed, but try to get outside and take a little jog... or just hang out in the back yard for a little bit.
Get out and get a little bit of sun. I swear it helps!
*Exercise and Sweating
Exercise activates all sorts of your body's good chemical processes. It increases the blood flow which will increase the rate at which immune cells, nutrients and antibodies reach the tiny capillaries of your face.
In addition to this you sweat. Sweat comes out of your pores... right!? Its a good deal.
I noticed that if I would have a good workout at the gym and then sit in the steam room for 20 minutes until I was dripping sweat my acne decreased dramatically in the following days.
*Irritation
By irritation I mainly mean harsh chemicals and harsh scrubbing. Your skin doesn't like to be plastered with chemical compounds and then grated to death with an abrasive pad. Also, harsh alcohol products such as Clearasil are terrible. They do little to help.
If you want to clean your face go to Wal-mart and get a 2 dollar bottle of Equate daily face wash. When you go to bed and when you get up... or during the day when you realize that you are extra greasy just do a "light" wash of your face to get rid of the excess grease and dirt. The soap is a polar molecule and it binds to tiny dirt particles. When you rinse the dirt goes with the soap. Don't scrub... just let the bubbles and water do its work. Then dab with a "clean" towel.
Used towels and wash rags have 400 times more bacteria than a keyboard and 600 times more than your toilet seat.
*Thinking about the Acne
I really have nothing to back this one up other than I KNOW with my heart and soul that its true.
If you have acne and you think think think think think think think think about it... it'll get confident and want to take over your whole face. I don't know why this is... i think its kinda like the stress thing. If you have a pimple and you think about it. Its bound to get worse.
*Age and Hormones
I put this one last because its the only one of these things that is out of our control.
There are only a few times in a persons life when we have HUGE amounts of hormones and chemicals racing through us.
Birth to 3 years old.
Adolescence to about 23 years old.
Pregnancy
Menopause.
During these times you will see a marked increase in acne and there is little you can do about it but wait.
I know I have been long winded... but this took me 15 years to fomulate. It'll work... I swear by it.
The only problem is trying to do all of these things at once and keep it going. Many times I would do these things and my face would clear up and I would be like "yey!" and I would start to slack off. Every time it would come back with a vengance.
Follow these rules as much as you can and keep them going. Don't stop!
There are two more things I'd like to say.
Acne has a lag to it. So say you go out friday and Saturday and drink and party and eat fried chicken and lose all sorts of sleep.
Sunday you might be as clear as a bell... but on Tuesday your face will look like someone set fire to it and put it out with an ice pick. This is one of the reasons its hard to detect exactly what causes your acne.... because it comes 3 days after the cause.
Invest in a pack of needles. Rather than squeeze and press and ravage your pimples and make them explode out... nick the top layer of skin that is holding the pus in and then apply pressure. You'll cause much less damage this way and you can even get to those really deep pimples that won't come to the surface for another couple of days.
I hope this helps. I'm sorry Its so long winded.
I am rooting for you! I have been there!"
Best Face cream with vitamins for Dull/oily/prone to acne skin..?

Im just so confused as to what i should go for...So pleaseee help me out here =)
Also any other suggestions besides a face cream will be greatly appreciated as well..
Thanks in advance Daisy replied: "I have the same problem along with some fine lines! I love Philosophy's Hope in a Jar.

It's by the company called Eminence Handmade Organic from Hungary. it really helps to calm the skin. Here is a link to the site. Page down to see the product called ROSEHIP WHIP MOISTURIZER. I hope this helps you?"
mommyofsix replied: "First of all about the philosophy hope in a jar,not for oily acne proned skin. Philosophy has a line for acne proned skin but its 35 dollars an ounce and pro-active works much better. I have the same skin as you have described. I have used everything and i would suggest you just get an oi-free,non-comedogenic moisturizer 2x a day. I have yet to find a moisturizer or great vitamin serum.I will tell you though you need to drink a gallon of water a day.I have been doing this(dermatologist recommended) for about 40 days now and my skin has become so much of a better texture,it would be dry but oily and just dull,now it glows.Of course a good skin regimen is good.You should cleanse 2x a day,then use a toner and moisturizer.This process works for me ,try the water too it makes a huge difference."
facials7 replied: "The more natural the product the better. I mean, really understand and look at the label of ingredents. Look for alpha lipoic acid...a form of vit c. For dullness, make sure you are exfoliating the skin 2 times a week. A mask also helps, a clay based mask draws out toxins, giving you clearer skin..."

bellyray replied: "Hi ,
I totally understand your desire for wanting high quality skin care! I felt the same way and I've been blessed with an amazing company called Arbonne International! I loved the products and the results so much that I decided to come on as a skin care consultant. Arbonne International was founded in 1980. At Arbonne, we want people to look great and feel great by incorporating premium products based on herbal and botanical ingredients into their daily lives. Arbonne products are all about your overall health and wellness.
Arbonne is also a people business. It's about empowering yourself and others. With Arbonne, a person has a vehicle to bring to light the success they deserve.
We have an amazing SELF-ADJUSTING skin care line called Arbonne Intelligence line. It is a 5-Step skin care regimen, Step one is Arbonne Intelligence Daily Cleanser, which is pH correct, non-drying, protects the moisture barrier, does not disrupt the acid mantle, and is critical to the healthy start of a skin care regimen.
Step two is the Arbonne Intelligence Exfoliating Mask with Thermal Fusion, which incorporates the deep cleansing abilities of clay masques along with scrubs both chemically and mechanically along with thermal fusion. What you get from this product is perfectly cleansed skin and perfectly healthy pink tone from cell exfoliation.
The third step is the Arbonne Intelligence Daily Balancer. Again our Toner and Freshener create the perfect balance. Incorporating blue copper, a trace mineral that significantly increases the visible firmness of the skin. This is very important to a skin care regimen, to set up the proper balance to apply the moisturizer on.
We have Arbonne Intelligence Daily Eye Cream. You can’t forget the eye cream, this is the one area that we show aging at the earliest stage simply because of repetitive movements. It’s the personality that gives us age, every time we smile; those repetitive movements create fine lines and wrinkles around our eyes. You must incorporate a great eye cream on a daily basis.
Step five is the Arbonne Intelligence Daily Moisturizing Cream, for day and for night, it is again, a self-adjusting delivery system that works for both day and night to protect against transdermal water loss. All of this incorporates the herbs and botanicals, which Arbonne was founded on.
Arbonne Intelligence … not-so-basic skin care™
It is an incredible system of products, it’s simplified, it’s self-adjusting, and it’s truly intelligent
Key elements found throughout the Arbonne Intelligence self-adjusting formulations:
BIO-HYDRIAВ® COMPLEX
Arbonne’s proprietary blend of 7 concen-trated botanicals, including: Comfrey Root Extract, Cucumber Extract, Birch Leaf Extract, Watercress Extract, Clover Blossom Extract, Ginseng Extract and St. John’s wort. Toge-ther, these ingredients soften, cool, soothe, condition and normalize skin’s pH. The Cucumber and Birch Leaf extracts also add astringent properties to the formulation.
BLUE COPPER
Known to enhance skin clarity, Blue Copper helps to hydrate skin — without the shine. It also helps to protect against free radical damage.
ZINC
Zinc has been found to play a key role in promoting collagen synthesis in the dermis layer of the skin. It is also known for lowering sebaceous secretion which is beneficial in controlling oily skin.
PAPAIN
An enzyme found at its purest in green papaya, helps to gently dissolve dead surface skin cells without harming healthy ones. Papain from green, un-ripened fruit is 15 to 100 times stronger than other forms of papain at exfoliation.
ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS
Fruit acids that are beneficial in exfolia-ting and rejuvenating skin. In addition to exfoliating, they play a role in keeping skin moist and supple.
LYSATE EXTRACT
A soothing, anti-irritant with de-puffing benefits.
THERMAL FUSION TECHNOLOGY
A revolutionary skin care technology that combines heat and water to optimize penetration of enzymes and prolongs their effectiveness. Arbonne’s proprietary skin care innovation stimulates circulation, penetration and enzyme activity for up to 45 minutes.
PHOSPHOLIPIDS

double d debbie replied: "have you exfoliated your skin?
somtimes the dullness could be from a build up of dead skin
drinking lots of water is great for skin too, 35ml per kg you weigh is recomended
maybe your skin would benefit from a mini at home facial, cleanse, steam, scrub, mask, tone and moisturise
good luck"

What is THE best skincare product (brand) for acne prone skin? Should I take vitamins? Help me, please. Thanks! Taylor replied: "definitely take vitamins!
and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
watch what you eat too
they say diet doesn't effect acne but i noticed a big difference when i went on a "healthy diet"
where i cut out junk food and ate a lot healthier
i would suggest going to a dermatologist
but i prefer neutrogena for face wash,
it seems to work the best
but i also tried the clean and clear advantage kit (like poractiv)

ernest replied: "Hello ...you need acnezine.Is the best their is.It is manufactured by Healthbuy and comes with a 90 day money back guarantee. What's different between acnezine and other topical acne creams is that its ingredients are made from 100% natural herbs and minerals. As such, there are less side effects than other acne topical treatment methods.
Acnezine is a tried and true product that comes with guaranteed results.
• It works for adults as well as teenagers who suffer from mild to moderate body or facial acne
• It is a fast and effective acne cure that "does it's thing" from the inside out
• Eliminates spots, redness, blackheads, pimples, pus and whiteheads
• It is recommended by dermatologists with guaranteed results
Most acne medications often contain harsh chemicals to help control the symptoms of acne. Though they work in controlling the acne problem, it also comes with side effects such as skin redness and itching. Some people may be allergic to these chemicals and hence these acne medications are out of the questions for these people.
It's not in fact a miracle cure, but a scientifically formulated, natural treatment that has proven highly effective for many thousands of acne sufferers.

Remedies/ vitamins/ natural ways to help skin (acne, luminosity,etc)? I was wondering if anyone knew of any natural ways to benefit skin. I was hoping to find something natural to help with acne because I can't find anything over the counter that works. I'd like to avoid a skin doc if I can. I've tried vit e and exposure to natural sunlight. I heard both helped but I didn't see any difference. In fact, after taking a nutrition class in my college, I realized I was taking like 3300% the daily recommended value of vit e and it doesn't even have benefits for your skin! Can someone think of an herbal product or food or something I can try? Right now, I'd be willing to try just about anything. marshmellow_gardener replied: "You'd be willing to try anything, hmm...?
Well acne (just like every other physical ailment) happens for a reason. It can be a warning sign, or (since it doesn't ever go away I'm assuming) there's a serious emotional/mental problem you have. If you're really serious about trying "anything" to heal yourself-well then heal yourself as a whole. Look deep into yourself to find what is really causing this acne problem-emotionally. What issues do yo have with yourself, if any that you can think of?"
oldtimekid2 replied: "One thing you can do is to take a 400 IU softgel of Vitamin E, then CAREFULLY poke a hole in it. Squeeze out the oil and spread it out evenly onto the affected area. If you have more than one area that's been affected, spread out the amount that's used evenly to each area, as too much vitamin E can build up to toxic levels in your body.
Swallowing Vitamin E doesn't help as much for your skin as applying it topically... but it still helps. You can also try putting Aloe Vera on to soothe the tissue.
Also, if you would like more benefits, there are some supplements you could take internally to help the health of your skin. Some of the most popular ones are Biotin, Silica (commonly from Horsetail), Squalene, Hyaluronic Acid, MSM, L-Cysteine, Collagen, and most antioxidants.
Good luck!"

minx replied: "Hey there buddy ♥ What i've found to work the best on my skin is to cleanse with a sensitive skin type cleanser such as Cetaphil morning and night and once every 2 or 3 days i'll mix 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with the cetaphil in my hand and cleanse as usual then rinse off with warm water ♥
When i have an outbreak of pimples or blemishes i simply do the baking soda cleanse concentrating on the problem areas and it works a treat ........ you'll find the blemishes become a lot less noticeable almost immediately.
The baking soda cleanser mix is good for purifying your skin and cleansing it of built up oils and dirt. It realkalises the ph level of your skin and gives it a rosy glow......... after cleansing put 1 - 2 tablespoons of white vinegar into a cup of water and mix up. Dip a cotton ball into the vinegar mix, squeeze the excess moisture from it and dab over your skin ... as you would a toner to close your pores and finish the job..... being carefull of course not to use it on any broken skin or it will sting..... then rub a small amount of extra virgin olive oil onto your skin as a moisturiser........... everybody needs a little bit of moisture on their skin and cold pressed (no trans fatty acids) extra virgin olive oil is brilliant for nourishing & feeding your skin ♥
No chemicals or other nasties to upset sensitive little bodies either.
Eat plenty of antioxidant rich foods ie ~ foods rich in Vitamins A, C, E and selenium, zinc and foods rich in EFA'S.
ie ~ Vitamin A ~ liver, dark green and yellow vegies, carotts, pumpkin and yellow fruits;
Without enough Vitamin A in your system no amount of potions or lotion will ever give you that rosy glow.
Vitamin C ~ citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, strawberries and blackberries, leafy and green vegies, red and green peppers and tomatoes and potatoes.
Vitamin C extends life by enabling protein cells to bind together.
Vitamin E ~ wheat germ, vegetable oils (olive oil), nuts, leafy and green vegies, spinach broccoli, whole wheat, whole grain cereals and eggs.
vitamin E will keep you looking younger by retarding cellular aging due to oxidation (by plumping out those lines and extending the life of your cells).
Selenium ~ seafood, liver, wheat germ, bran, tuna fish, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, garlic and brown rice.
Selenium works in tandem with vitamin E thus they increase each others potency. selenium is another antioxidant that will slow the aging process for you.
Zinc ~ essential for protein synthesis and collagen formation.
foods rich in zinc are ~ meat, liver, seafood (especially oysters), wheat germ, pumpkin seeds, eggs and ground mustard.
Pump up your fresh filtered water intake on a daily basis too to hydrate your body properly and plump up your skin and maintain your health, youth and vitality...... you need at least 2 - 3 litres of water per day. Geez, we need at 2 litres daily just to maintain aspiration (to breath!!)........... :0)
Try to ditch all the junky and prepackaged foods and sodas and soft drinks as these will only serve to stress your system and at any rate have next to no nutritional value anyway ♥
Also try to cut back on dehydrating drinks such as coffee, tea and alcohol (if you drink any) as not only will they dehydrate you but they will also rob you of your precious B complex of vitamins ♥
take care of you & hope i helped a bit ♥
CHEERS

orangie replied: "One thing is drink lots of water, stay away from fried foods if you can. I know we all consume it, but try to eat less of it. Soap dries out your face. Get a soap that helps with the skin. Warm water when washing your face. Change your diet and that might help as well. Try to stay stress fee, take sometime to relax about 20 minutes a day, and rid yourself of all things that are on your plate for that time. Garlic is another natural source for you diet and healthy as well. Good Luck, Protect yourself from the sun as well. We all need the sun but too much sun is not good either."

Tea Tree Oil (melaleuca) is helpful for acne.
Shitake mushroom extract is supposed to help to firm the skin.
And a diet rich in good fats (like those found in salmon, tuna, mackerel, pistachios, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, etc) and antioxidants really really helps. Eating lots of dark colored fruits and veggies like black beans, blueberries, dark red tomatoes, red grapes, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, kidney beans, dark red apples, plums, spinach, green tea, blood oranges, red wine, etc really helps your skin.
Getting good rest helps a lot!
And sunshine is your friend if you tan.
Use topical vitamin E. And retinols. Glycolic acid helps to slough and smooth skin. And lactic acid (like in yogurt or milk masks) and AHA's help to refine, exfoliate and beautify skin. Caffiene firms skin. Grapeseed oil and grape extracts are great antioxidants that make skin look younger and more brilliant (like Red Wine extract does).
It really helps to take a two-fold approach, transform from the inside out! Taking vitamins and using topical naturals.
Of course you probably know about the benefits of drinking water and green tea. And how exercise is awesome for the skin.
And just simple hot steam treatments really help my face to clear up."

Amla is a Indian fruit....this is age-defying fruit. You can find this in some TEA (yogi) that you can find @ GNC or Trader Joe's. This is EXCELLENT in taste and good for your skin....makes it healthy and younger.
Also, DO SOME YOGA....they have some asanas that makes your skin re-juvenate.
Good Luck....."

I recommend a vitamin called Omega 3-6-9 - it's an all in one pill that combines fish oil, flax oil and borage oil, to put natural oils back into the skin, helping with elasticity and healing dryness."

If you get a silica supplement it will usually contain Vitamin A, B and C as well as Zinc. Together these vitamins and minerals will help you attain good skin condition"
