A growing number of acne sufferers have turned to more natural acne cream treatments and oral medicines that make use of ingredients found in nature to effectively heal a medical condition that could be traumatizing when not stopped in its tracks.
Some of nature’s best solutions to the problem of acne are VITAMINS.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is known for its ability to maintain and repair tissues that make up the skin. It also reduces the production of sebum (the skin’s natural oil) and, therefore, prevents acne. Many acne cream products in the market today–mostly prescription medications–contain Vitamin A derivatives, such as retinoic acid, isotratinoin, tretinoin, tazarotene, and adapalene.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Acne is one symptom of riboflavin deficiency. Riboflavin is vital to healthy skin, hair, and nails. To fight acne, the recommended oral dosage is 100 mg, three times a day.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Niacin improves circulation. Topical niacinamide has been proven to reduce the amount of oil in the skin, the overproduction of which is one of the causes of acne. Studies on niacinamide and acne have also shown the B-complex derivative to improve moderate inflammatory acne in 8 out of 10 people who use it two times a day for less than two months.
ACNESSENTIAL (a 4% Niacinamide cream) is one of the best acne cream products in the market today because it combines the powerful acne-prevention powers of niacin, as well as its soothing properties.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
Pantothenic acid is known for reducing stress since it helps keep the adrenal glands functioning properly. It also promotes clear skin. Take 100 mg, three times a day to fight acne.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
Pyridoxine promotes good skin tone, better blood circulation, and helps fight infection. Along with niacin, it improves blood circulation to the skin so that acne-affected areas heal faster. Furthermore, it aid in regulating the hormones that can cause an acne breakout. Suggested dosage to fight acne is 100 mg, three times a day.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is famous for its antioxidant properties, which are needed for, at least, 300 metabolic body functions, including tissue growth and repair. It also fights infection and boosts the immune system. Regular dosage to fight acne is 1000 mg, thrice a day. However, although recommended dosages can reach up to 1600 mg, this may not be safe for every individual. Diabetics, for example, should consult a doctor for the proper dosage.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E keeps skin healthy by eliminating harmful free radicals that are a byproduct of cellular metabolism. It also protects the cell membrane from damage and can reduce the appearance of scars after a bout with acne. The safe dosage of 400 IU daily is sufficient to fight acne.
