Well it's been going okay... I've been sticking with the TwinLab Daily One Caps. I still can't recommend them to women of childbearing age, but for me they've been good. I figure, the 6000 IU of pure vitamin A in it, isn't that far off from the 5000 you see in some prenatal vitamins.
What can I say? Next to no pimples. Once in a while I'll get a small one. I put Differin on it and it's gone in a day or two.
I still get some clogged pores. So, no...one question I always have with acne treatments, is if it will return my skin to the way it was, for years, before I got the acne. In fact I might mention, I didn't have bad acne when I was a teenager, just the regular stuff.
So taking this multi-vitamin did not give me my old skin back. There's another factor...so what is it? Hormones in food? Genetically engineered food? Long term effects of taking certain birth control pills? Again, utter silence...while the people with acne suffer on. And acne is only what you see.
I do want to stress that I think for most people, there is a strong nutritional factor. It's well worth exploring. Do discuss it with your doctor. Find out what sort of multi-vitamins you can safely take. Give it a shot. What do you have to lose?
