Vitamins to Treat Acne

Vitamin A

This vitamin is essential for acne-free skin. Vitamin A produces a lot of the effects of the isotretonoin and retinoids but without the side effects (including severe birth defects in unborn fetuses).

Vitamin B3 for Acne

Niacinamide for AcneVitamin B3 niacinamide for acne has been found to be substantially beneficial as a vitamin for acne. This was demonstrated in a double-blind clinical trial lasting two months where a 4% niacinamide gel was applied twice per day. 4% niacinamide gel for acne was found to be of comparable efficacy to the antibiotic clindamycin in the treatment of acne.

Vtamin B5 for Acne

A clinical trial using vitamin B5 for acne (pantothenic acid) was successful. People with acne were given 2.5 grams of pantothenic acid four times a day, which is a lot! With moderate acne, near-complete relief was seen within two months. Cream containing 20% pantothenic acid vitamin for acne was also used in this trial.

Zinc

Zinc is essential for absorption of Vitamin A and also regulates levels of Vitamin E in the blood. It also boosts the immune system and helps kill acne bacteria.

Selenium

Selenium is needed for skin elasticity. It also boosts the action of the other anti-oxidants. (Anti-oxidants are important because they prevent the spread of oxidative cells that can attack cellular function in all major systems of the body.)

Magnesium

This mineral seems to play a major role in hormone balance, which is a major cause of acne.
