A member asked:
Will taking vitamin a supplements cure/control my acne?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: But there may well be individuals selling vitamin A who have a firm belief that it can control acne. Retinoids used in the treatment of acne are vitamin A derivatives. These are prescription drugs that are used with great care; they can cause birth defects.
