Can prenatal vitamins be used to cure acne?

No: Acne results from oil overproduction (often due to hormones), clogged pores, p acnes bacteria, & resultant inflammation from your immune system recognizing infection. Effective acne treatments target these causes: benzoyl peroxide & antibiotics kill bacteria, retinoids decrease oil, salicyclic acid & retinoids unclog pores, oral contraceptives target hormones.

Vitamin deficiency: Various deficiencies can result in some skin changes, but they are not usually related to normal vitamin intake.
