A member asked:
Has anyone any effective nutritional support dietary supplement for acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Good nutrition is good for the whole body including the largest organ, the skin. As some have mentioned mega doses of vitamin b5 have been shown over a fairly long period of time to have a small benefit but not without other side effects.
