kt_a 0 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (I didn't see anything, but if this topic has already been discussed, could someone point me in the right direction? thanx )I was reading the beauty section of fitness magazine (Aug. 07) and saw a section on clear skin advice. One doctor interviewed said she recommends 6mg supplements of beta-carotene for her patients with mild acne or who do not want to use Accutane. "I like to call beta-carotene the everyman's Accutane, since both are high in vitamin A, a super exfoliator and antioxidant that turns skin cells over rapidly."Has anyone heard of beta-carotene being used this way? Do you think it would work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
