How long for Vitamin A and acne? I have been struggling with acne now for awhile. I have been taking Vitamin A supplements to try to clear it up, and its helped some but not much. I am taking 8000 IU in doses of 3-6 pills daily.I am doing this now instead of accutane due to the severe effects accutane brings many people Many people have done this and it has worked so well for them. How long does it take? I want clear skin soon! Am i taking too little or too much? and when will i see major results?
Anthony replied: "the bottle on the back normally tells you how much to take. But theirs more then just taking supplements. You got to wash your face with soap and warm water daily and eat less greasy foods. It also depends on how stress you get to."
Guru replied: "There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.
It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It's been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)
Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.
This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:
Search up "Cee En's Acne Solution" on ebay.
First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $40, 3 month for $100, or 6 month supply for $150
It's expensive, but the product DOES work.
My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
I don't have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.
check the seller's feedbacks on the cream
I hope this helps. =)"
Food, which types of food, should I eat to prevent acne, what vitamins are great for preventing acne? I don't have a serious acne problem, but I have little whiteheads that be turning into blackheads, then they dry out and come off. At least they don't stay with me for long, but I would love to know which types of food I should eat to prevent acne and what vitamins are great for preventing acne?
Kemi replied: "I've seen a research study online that was done in China (I think) and it showe that taking high doses of Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) reduces acne. This research was done on a group of people with Acne Vulgaris (worse form of acne) and by taking 10gram a day, their acne was significantly reduced. The only downfall with this is that, in order to get 10g of this vitamin, you would need to take 20 pills a day since most places offer then in 500mg tablets. Now since you probably dont have Acne Vulgaris, you probably wont need so much but if you want a smooth face, its worth a try."

Will all these vitamins for my acne and such be good for me? I am taking green tea extract 500 mg twice a day and drinking 4 cups of green tea a day to help acne. I also take 3 ALA supplements a day too. will I be okay if I add 2 50mg zinc supplements and vitamin e also? I'm hoping that this will stop breakouts and clear it up.
mz_dazed replied: "It's so good that you're willing to take supplements to treat your acne instead of going from product to product. I mean your not deficient in Clearasil or Proactive are you? I don't know about the supps your taking now for acne, but I know vitamin A could help your skin A LOT. Zinc also helps the skin and has shown to in many studies but this is because it is involved in vitamin A utilization, retention and metabolism. So taking the two is a good idea just in case you're deficient in one or the other, or both!
"Zinc and vitamin A interact in several ways. Zinc is a component of retinol-binding protein, a protein necessary for transporting vitamin A in the blood. Zinc is also required for the enzyme that converts retinol (vitamin A) to retinal. This latter form of vitamin A is necessary for the synthesis of rhodopsin, a protein in the eye that absorbs light and thus is involved in dark adaptation. Zinc deficiency is associated with decreased release of vitamin A from the liver, which may contribute to symptoms of night blindness that are seen with zinc deficiency (14, 15).
Taking large quantities of zinc (50 mg/day or more) over a period of weeks can interfere with copper bioavailability. High intake of zinc induces the intestinal synthesis of a copper-binding protein called metallothionein. Metallothionein traps copper within intestinal cells and prevents its systemic absorption (see Copper). More typical intakes of zinc do not affect copper absorption and high copper intakes do not affect zinc absorption."
Taking zinc in a multimineral formula would be better than taking it alone because of the above situation. Also you want to be taking the right vitamin A. Only vitamin a from fish oil is as RETINOL and this is the natural vitamin A that only causes toxicity at VERY HIGH doses compared with the synthetic versions that are toxic even in smaller amounts. All vitamin A in multivitamin preparations are SYNTHETIC. According to the study below, doses between 300,000 and 500,000 IU are only effective for acne but also caused a little overdose which only caused dry skin and chapped lips. I would suggest possibly 100,000 IU each day for a few months and look out for hypervitaminosis A (too much vitamin A). But please do your research. Also vitamin C reduces the toxicity and vitamin D should also be taken with vitamin A and is usually found together in fish oil caps. Vitamin E is very important also because it also extends the life of vitamin A in the body. Without enough vitamin E, vitamin A is destroyed by oxygen. See it's complicated every nutrient interacts with another so it's always best to get a bit of everything.
It's very important to get your vitamin D levels checked BEFORE you take supps of it. Hope this helps.
Oh one more thing, you will only absorb vitamins A, D and E if you take them with some sort of fat (butter, crieeam, cheese, oilive oil) otherwise you're just wasting your money. When you eat fat, bile is released which is ESSENTIAL for absorbing these nutrients. If there's no fat they are not absorbed and you will think they aren't working. Good luck"
What kind of pills or vitamins over the counter are good to fight acne over 35? I have tried everything! Please tell me anything you know that works for acne (creams, pills, vitamins, even home remedies). I'm 35 year old. Thank You.
Tink replied: "Its not caused by a lack of vitamins, its caused by your immune system reacting to the waste product of a very common bacteria. You simply inherited an immune system that is more sensitive to it than others...me to.
And the only thing that worked is retin-a

Valerie replied: "I have found that cleansing your face twice a day with a gentle salysilic cleanser works great to keep your skin clean.
When using a moisturizer, make sure it is preferably a serum.
As for vitamins and supplements, I have found most helpful, the following:
B Complex
No Flush Niacyn
B5 Pantothenic Acid
and vitamin E
Thants what I take and do, and my scne has cleared 100% (besides a few blemishe around my cicle)
Good Luck!"

You may also want to look at herbs that can help combat acne:
You need to combat it inside as well as outside and a good way to start is to detox first. Once your body gets rid of all the toxins, you will have a good base to start.
Hope this helps!"

loves2quiche replied: "Im a believer in "Proactive"...it works...nothing ive ever...ever....ever....used, has done such a terrific job, not even the great Dr. Murad. in Beverly Hills, very high priced products worked as efficiently as this stuff. not only does it clear up your acne quickly> should see some result within a few days for sure. But its almost the only face cream i use at all, and my skin looks clear, smooth, and pimple free. if that doesnt help go to your dr. for some tetracyclene...spelling is off but you should be able to sound it out"
Sugar Bear replied: "Use Proactive Soultion. I know everybody says it works and some people don't believe it. I was one of those people. I have been using it for about 2 years now and my face looks beautiful. I get compliments all the time, and my boyfriend has seen such a change and he says that I was beautiful before but because of Proactive I am more than beautiful now. I know I probably sound like the commercials right about now. But I have no other way of describing it other than the way they do. It really really works and you can find it sorta cheaper on QVC.com than buying straight from the suppliers. Hope I helped you some, without sounding too much like watching TV without sound! Sorry if i sounded like one!

does clear 5 acne vitamins workkk!!? i was wondering if clear 5 acne vitamins work???
what vitamins actually work for clearing up acnee!
Sarah <3 replied: "nothing topical (i.e. applied on your face) can clear up acne, for acne is an internal problem mostly. I have seen the product you have mentioned above on a website too and it appears to be another scam people desperate to rid their acne will fall into. If you really have acne, not just pimples (which you can use benzoyl peroxide for from the pharmacy), then you should see a dermatologist as soon as possible to minimise scaring."

Paul R replied: "Unfortunately no vitamins will help you very much with acne. Your diet does not really effect or cause acne unless you are eating nothing but junk food which will make your skin overly greasy. The best thing you can do is just try to keep yourself healthy and active, drink plenty of water and try to exercise regularly so that you're having a good sweat. Sweating will clean out your pores.
There are of couse creams for acne but they are only temporary. If it is really severe, go and see your doctor."
Dr Frank replied: "I am afraid acne is unaffected by any vitamins. You need degreasers and if this fails oral or topical antibiotics."
Best acne vitamins.? I have acne on my forehead only which is also oily. I've been on accutane 3 different times and it has helped some, my acne is not as bad as it used to be, but I still have breakouts on my forhead. I have tried proactive, murad, and other store brand names. They either dry me out and make my acne worse. Well what is a good vitamin for acne? I was looking at orovo, actuzine, murad pills and other vitamins like that? Please help. Thanks
