tracy521 277 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) i think that should be ok but you should consult your doctor to be safe. you don't want to take too much since it can be toxic. Edited January 22, 2013 by tracy521 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebumSucks 48 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I would advise you to try Vitamin D instead. It has cured me of both oily skin and severe acne. I have done Accutane 3 times and have also been on vitamin A (a special type prescribed by a doc) and although it might help a bit you would need dangerously high doses over long term to be effective and in my opinion in not worth it. It is much safer to try Vitamin D3 in dosages ranging from 1000-5000IU and like I said I am virtually cured now by taking a standard over the counter vitamin D3 tablet every day.

Rorius 13 Share Posted February 6, 2013 That amount is fine. Take Beta-Carotene if you are worried about toxicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
