Vitamins and Acne???: Vitamins causing acne? Balderdash! there is no harm or acne caused by taking a multivitamin. I would certainly be happy knowing the source of that incredible folktale? Advanced forms of vitamin a, for instance, have been modified in the laboratory to even treat the most severe cases of acne! so go ahead and take your multivitamin and don't worry about acne related to it.
