I've suffered from some bad breakouts and acne for a long time now, on and off. I don't know why but I just got so lazy i don't want to type anymore. Okay I'm going to try and keep going. Anyway, like many others in this terrible world we live in, I tried absolutely everything for my face, washing it all the time, creams, soaps, acids. Up until now nothing really worked all that well, some might have helped a bit, and others made it worse. But then I had an epiphany! after reading an article online about how apricots were good for your skin because of all the vitamin A, i thought, why don't i just go directly to the vitamin and start taking it and see what happens! Well thats exactly what i did, and let me tell you, this is apparently the only thing I needed all along! After 2 days my skin was cleared up, and I've had no breakouts in about 2 weeks! Greatest feeling in the world and I owe it all to this product. Listened people, if you have terrible skin like me, it may just be vitamin A deficiency so try this out... After all the wasted years..

after taking these vitamins, i notice a difference in my skin and hair..its become better in texture, the skin is tighter, and i feel more awake

After taking this I've noticed a difference in my skin improving. I've had fewer break outs and has been great for my vision as well. When at the range and focusing on the 300 meter target, it hasn't been as blury. It was always hard to focus in on, up to this point. That was after taking this product for about 3 months.

If you aren't taking this as directed by a doctor, then at least look up the facts from a credible source. One thing that I've noticed is that when I take this before going to bed, I have very vivid dreams. Almost to the point of being lucid. That might be a common side effect.

If anyone is looking for a way to fix your skin, I recommend taking these. Of course only under a doctor's supervision.

An early treatment of acne first used during the 1930s was high doses of the fat-soluble vitamin A (retinoic acid). At these dosage levels (sometimes 500,000 IU per day), sebum production is notably reduced, thwarting acne, but overly dry hair is a negative side-effect, and such high doses can lead to vitamin A toxicity. Use of animal-based vitamin A at nutritive levels (where the upper limit dosage is 10,000 IU daily), taken over the course of a year, has also been shown to reduce acne.

Be careful with the intake though, large amounts of Vitamin A are toxic... but so is Accutane. You be the judge!

I have been trying lots of vitamin supplements to help with my acne. Right now I am taking one of these every morning and every night along with optizinc at night and fish oil omega-3s. I'm also using a sulfur based soap. Since I am using so many products it is difficult to say which are helping but I would say that this is worth a shot. It is inexpensive and if taken as directed will last a long time.

Beware of vitamin A toxicity. Right now I am taking 2 a day but only until my skin clears up a bit more. Maybe 2-3 weeks total and then I'll knock it down to 1 a day.

When my skin is clear(er), I plan to remove one product at a time to see if I no longer need them. I will update my final thoughts on vitamin A when I do so.

I've been taking this daily with Vit D3 (5000 IU) and Jarrow Formulas JarroSil, Activated Silicon, 2 Fluid Ounce (60ml). I really noticed the difference, it really improved my skin, not much but noticeable.

I have not actually bought this product, but I am shopping for Vitamin A right now and I notice all the brands are over the recommended daily limit, which is supposedly around 3,000-10,000 IU for an adult male. Not the recommended allowance, the limit. Is this safe? The NOW brand stood out as having the highest of all, with 25,000 IU.
