What is the relationship between vitamin A and acne?

Answer by  dpink (111)

Vitamin A prevents acne and is a main ingredient in products to treat acne and wrinkles including over the counter retinol creams and prescription medications that you can get from your dermatologist such as retin-a.

At high and theraputic doses, vitamin A will effectively rid the body of acne. Many medications only available through a doctor are mostly high doses of vitamin A. Using vitamin A can sometimes be very bad for people (especially pregnant women). Be sure to see your doctor before starting high doses of vitamin A.
