Taking Too Much Vitamin A
You may have heard that vitamin A helps to cure acne. What you may not know is that if you take too much of it, vitamin A can accumulate in your liver to dangerous levels and cause serious health problems. Get your vitamin A from veggies. Good sources include leafy greens (like spinach and watercress) and orange veggies (like sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and carrots).
There are safer derivatives of vitamin A to treat your acne — topical Retinoids and oral Accutane — that your healthcare provider can prescribe.
