A member asked:
Can i put vitamin a gel capsule contents on my skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes you can. Most medical use of topical Vitamin A is in the form of retinoic acid, which can help with acne and other skin conditions. Retinoic acid often causes skin irritation. Applying Vit A is less likely to irritate the skin though may be less effective. See http://tinyurl.com/gku32cw and http://beautyeditor.ca/2013/10/29/vitamin-a-for-acne
