A is for Acne – All forms of vitamin A have a positive impact on acneic skin. As a capsule supplement, vitamin A serves as a potent antioxidant to minimize the free radicals that decrease the skin’s ability to regenerate and purge impurities that cause uneven tone and texture.
Vitamin A specifically improves acne conditions by reducing the production of excessive oil in the skin.
Its ability to dry up or decrease oil and sebum make it a valuable supplement and topical for acne sufferers.
While using vitamin A in its most natural form is the first step in treating a skin condition, it has its limitations in the correction and elimination of severe acne.
Vitamin A derivatives promote the drainage of existing comedones, prevent the development of microcomedones and help with the formation of tiny blood vessels and increased collagen production. This improves the overall appearance of acneic skin and reduces the aggressiveness of scar tissue.
In esthetics, the two most common forms of vitamin A are retinol and retinaldehyde, both of which impact overall acne problems quite well.
