Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

Wow it has been quite some time since I've been on here but I'm back and still suffering from acne :(

 

So anyways I asked my derm about going on Accutane since I've tried literally everything but she refused since my acne is not bad enough so I decided that instead of going down the never ending road of topical treatments that I would take matters into my own hands and try something different.

I have decided to start taking 10000 IU's of Vitmain A every day along with a zinc supplement at night. I will also start using Tea Tree Oil for spot treatment and drink green tea twice a day like I used to do back in my crazy healthy holistic days.

 

Sooo what I want to know is your guys opinions on this, or your experiences with any of the treatments that I have listed above.

 

Thanks in advance!! :D

Personally I found vitamins A & C to be the most beneficial, although it is hard to be sure. Vitamin C can make existing acne look a bit more red but skin seems to heal more quickly if I take 1-2g a day. Be a little careful with vitamin A though- a few years ago I took 25,000IU's a day for around 9 months & a blood test found my triglyceride levels to be through the roof. I think 10,000 will probably be ok though.

Make sure the vitamin A is beta carotene and use it for short time only.

Why would you have to use it for a short time? Beta Carotene is perfectly safe.
