I heard that vitamin a is good for acne? i had hormone testing, came back normal, changed my diet due to food allergies. nothing seems to help.

Retinoid: You are likely referring to a derivative of vit A called retinoids which works for many people with acne. Topical or oral vitamin A would not do the job however. See dermatologist.
