Hummm...it's been a while.
The TwinLab Daily One Caps stabilized my skin. No pimples. Still some clogged pores.
I ran out, a few days ago. I'm retrying the Kirkland Premium vitamins I bought before to see if they would work as well as the TwinLab's.
I'll have to say the difference is subtle but I feel I got better results with the TwinLab. My skin is a bit oilier now. It feels slightly bumpier. Plus (and I don't know if this is related)--my hair is falling out more?
It could all be a result of just plain switching from one thing to another. It could also be coincidental at least in part (the hair part anyway).
The main difference between the two is the quantity of the B vitamins; TwinLab has bigger doses. The amount of vitamin A is also somewhat different. Again the TwinLab has more.
It would be nice if the people who spend millions of dollars researching topicals (which don't work) could spent a fraction of that on figuring out exactly which vitamins work in treating acne. I don't think it's rocket science. It's simply that topicals can be patented.
Anyhow I'll think about it but I think I'll just repurchase the TwinLab or else check the shelf and see what else is available.
