Anyone here try megadosing on Vitamin A to get rid of their acne? I heard Accutane is basically just really high-doses of vitamin A. I can't afford a dermatologist so that's not an option.


Also /acne/ general I guess.

It's a toxic chemical if you ingest too much. You will get sick.

That said, you aren't that far off about the similarity between that and Accutane: which is why a lot of people say Accutane is also toxic. There are A LOT more things in Accutane than Vitamin A though. It basically destroys your pours/shrinks them forever

Advice - eat a lot of carrots, like a bag a day of baby carrots a day. only drink water. You will see results.

Wouldn't that be doing anon's on here a favor?

Regardless, you would have to take 25,000 IU/kg of body weight to overdose.

I'm talking about taking 100,000-200,000 iu Vitamin A every day. Much more than the average person consumes.

No idea, but I have started taking 2000 IU of Vitamin D3 everyday in order to try and cure my psoriasis.

I'm sure a lot of Robots have Vitamin D deficiencies, considering we don't go out in the sun a lot. Might be good for our health to take the D.

acne is such a cunt

honestly, if you have it chronically, there's a decent chance that nothing you do will fix it.

at least don't beat yourself up that you're causing your own acne. don't listen to normies going "UMMM WOW JUST WASH UR FACE AND PUT BEE CUM ON IT :S", they're just retards who don't know that some people have chronic acne, some people have shit genes. mine didn't go away for years and then it just did all at once.

be very careful with accutane, people commit suicide on accutane, it's fucking serious, it fucks you up

Accutane is nothing more than vitamin a with a bond rotation at the 13 carbon position.

That being said, it has drastically different physiological properties.

sunbeds and UV light (sunlight)

and a better diet i.e. veg. fucking moron.

Same, read that advice on here about 4 months ago. Ordered that shit up and got to work, I've taken 2 to 3k IU a day since.

It does help it, enough to start treating it with topical ointments and it's gone from nightmare bleeding scales to barely visible.

Thanks r9k doctors.

Anon try to wash your face with Viola arvensis for some time. It helped me a lot.

You can buy it for cheap in every pharmacy.

Perhaps unfortunately this. Whenever I have gone swimming outside during the summer, my skin stays real nice for a long time. You have to go outside for a while.

There are a lot of supplements that help, though I'm not sure this plan of yours would be a good idea. N-Acetyl-Cysteine, Milk Thistle extract, selenium, zinc are all proven effective. Cod liver oil helps some people and is great for a lot of other health issues.

Also diet is big. Avoid sugar, processed food, high glycemic food, canola oil, corn oil, soybean ("vegetable") oil. A lot of people just go straight paleo diet and it works great for them.

Vitamin A toxicity will make you look and feel like shit.

A healthy diet and getting Sun is really helpful. I can agree with swimming too, try baths with salt or chlorine.

Depends where you have the acne, but keeping your sleeping surface clean is massively important. Wear clean t shirts, wash your sheets every week or more if you go to bed filthy or sweat a lot.
Good luck

take 20k iu a day at the most
