A member asked:
Can using a retinol serum cause an overdose of vitamin a inside the body? is it safe for me to take a multivitamin that has 89% vitamin a already while using a retinol serum? i also get vitamin a from my diet as well?

No: I would suggest that you stay within the recommended daily dosage for Vitamin A. Vitamin A,D,E, and K are fat soluble. Any excess is not excreted in the urine.
