Pros:About a week ago, I began taking 500-1000mg of Vitamin C per day. Plus, I started eating foods high in Vitamin A. The recommended daily intake for Vitamin A is 700 RAE for Women and 900 RAE for Men. Anyway, it totally cleared my mild-moderate acne.
Cons:Too much Vitamin A can be toxic. Also, taking Vitamin C supplements can irritate your stomach.
Bottom Line:Vitamin A and Vitamin C work wonders in clearing your skin. But, I'd suggest incorporating them into your diet, rather than taking supplements of them.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Mera has used this item for about a week.

Pros:Pretty much can clear moderate acne in under three days and also keeps your immune system boosted!
Cons:The pill is a little big..
Bottom Line:After two years of trying to clear my acne - I almost gave up. Acne caused me to be depressed and ashamed of myself..Now my face has a few zits and one whitehead on my chin and the rest of my skin is clear and soft! I know that I'll be looking great by the time school starts!! Only two days and WOW! I used this with Minocycline and Brevoxyl Creamy wash...Definitely going to recommend this to anyone and everyone I know!
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Tyler has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:Overall boost to your body, one of the most powerful anti oxidents out there, natural, no side affect, O ya and almost completely cured my severe acne
Cons:none
Bottom Line:The doctors wanted to put me on acutane, I was on doxcycycline, and tetracycline, and nothing worked. So I decide to take 2000 mg of vitamin c a day, 8000 units of vitamin A, wash my face, neck and other trouble spots 3 times a day with oxy maximun strength wash, and use benzaclyn, as well as eat 1 carrot and 1 apple per day now I am good. I usually never take the time to write a review but this basically cured me and I know that there are other people who know of the tramu that acne can cause, so I felt obliged to let you know about the natural way that I found, good luck

Pros:Greatly decreases the lifetime of a pimple. And helps heal skin! I'm taking as much as 10 grams per day of Ester C. I only recommend Ester C... look it up... it's an absorb-able form of vitamin C that doesn't cause any upset.
Cons:The only con is taking 3 horsepills with every meal.
Bottom Line:Ester C, along with my cleaning regimen has brought me to 95% clear skin... and in a short amount of time... about a month... you'll notice your immune system kick in right away.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:cleared up my forehead in a week. faded scars.
Cons:made me break out BAD on the rest of my face.
Bottom Line:i used it for a month and stopped once i figured out that it was causing all my new facial acne. my forehead has started breaking out again, but i haven't had one new breakout anywhere on the rest of my face. :]

now i'm back to my old regimen and not taking ANY vitamins. ugh. i wish i had never started.

Pros:my face last night was red and bruised. i took 5x500 mg of vit-c last night and 6x500 spread out today and my acne has decreased from about 50% of my face to about 15% of my face and for some reason my entire face seems to be tanned and glowing.
Cons:i probly need to reduce the daily amount so i dont get anemia but otherwise this sh*t is the sh*t
Bottom Line:i went to a dermatologist about 2 months ago and got put on 2 medications and was told to moisturize 10x a day. my acne has only gotten worse. i can see how it works tho and it would help me eventually, but i have a dance next week and i needed imeadiate results. VIT-C is the sh*t. ill probly continue the medications until the 8 months are up but untill then i plan on taking about 2500 mg a day until it is clear

go bengals!
