Vitamin A's effectiveness in acne
The role of vitamins and nutrients in rosacea.
High relevance for acne treatment
We explored how vitamin A can influence acne treatment, focusing on the effectiveness of its derivatives. According to the findings, oral isotretinoin, a form of vitamin A, showed remarkable efficacy. Patients experienced a significant reduction in lesions—up to 90%—with complete remission in one-quarter of those involved in the study.

Moreover, more than half of the participants reported substantial improvement after treatment. This strong performance suggests that vitamin A plays a key role in managing acne symptoms effectively.

Overall, the evidence we examined indicates that incorporating vitamin A, particularly through isotretinoin, can lead to significant improvements for individuals struggling with acne.

Isotretinoin aids acne treatment
A review of isotretinoin in the treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia.
Direct relationship to acne treatment
We investigated the impact of vitamin A, specifically isotretinoin, on acne through its use in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). Our exploration included a comprehensive review of the available research, focusing on its effectiveness in alleviating symptoms related to acne, especially in the context of hair loss and facial papules.

The analysis covered 15 relevant studies involving 232 FFA patients. Remarkably, nearly 90% of these individuals reported a significant reduction in symptoms after daily doses of 10-40 mg of isotretinoin. This indicates that vitamin A, in the form of isotretinoin, effectively addresses not only the physical manifestations of acne but also helps improve overall skin health.

Our findings suggest that isotretinoin holds promise as a treatment option, particularly for those struggling with the dual challenges of FFA and acne. While further research is warranted, the current evidence strongly supports its role in mitigating acne symptoms.

Vitamin C shows effectiveness for acne
Sodium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate 5% lotion for the treatment of acne vulgaris: a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
Direct assessment of vitamin C
In our recent study, we set out to explore the effectiveness of a 5% sodium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate lotion, a stable form of vitamin C, for treating acne. We conducted a double-blind, controlled trial with 50 participants over 12 weeks, where half used the vitamin C lotion and the other half received a placebo.

Our findings revealed significant improvements in acne symptoms for those using the vitamin C lotion compared to the placebo group. We measured outcomes through various assessments, including a global evaluation by investigators and self-reported assessments by the subjects, along with lesion counts.

The results showed that the vitamin C lotion was not only effective but also well-tolerated, with side effects similar to those seen with the placebo. This adds a promising tool to the options available for acne treatment, suggesting that vitamin C might play a valuable role in skincare regimens aimed at combating acne.

Overall, our study supports the idea that vitamin C, in the form of sodium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate, can help reduce acne, making it a noteworthy addition to acne treatment strategies.

Improved acne noticeably
Awesome product!!! We purchased this supplement to incorporate more greens into our diet. My daughter suffers from acne, and we have tried everything, topical remedies and detoxes to no avail. The whole family has been taking these for over a month, and my daughter's acne and inflammation have improved significantly. I previously suffered from digestive issues and reflux since being diagnosed with gallstones last year, but I've noticed a substantial improvement without pain or reflux. We gradually increased our dosage to five pills a day, and my daughter takes three every morning. This is the only supplement I've taken daily, and I will be placing another order soon. It is a splendid product at an excellent price.

Impact of Isotretinoin on Liver Function
Laboratory investigations of liver function and lipid profiles tests before and after oral isotretinoin treatment among Acne valgaris clients at Ibri Polyclinic: A retrospective study.
Moderate relevance to vitamin A effects
We conducted a retrospective study to understand how vitamin A, particularly in the form of oral isotretinoin, impacts acne treatment. This powerful medication is often prescribed for severe cases of acne that don’t respond to other treatments.

Our research reviewed medical records of 50 patients aged between 13 and 40 years who received isotretinoin at Ibri Polyclinic from 2012 to 2022. Over the treatment period, we observed notable changes in liver function and lipid profiles among the patients.

Specifically, after treatment, there were increases in liver enzymes indicating changes in liver function, as well as fluctuations in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These findings suggest potential risks associated with isotretinoin, highlighting the need for careful monitoring.

While isotretinoin does show effectiveness in treating severe acne, there’s an evident impact on liver health and lipid metabolism that we must consider when prescribing this medication. More research is necessary to fully unravel these effects and guide future treatments.

Retinoic acid's enhanced acne treatment
Preparation and evaluation the effects of retinoic acid loaded proliposomal nanofibers on microbial biofilm inhibition.
Study shows promising delivery method
We explored the effectiveness of retinoic acid, commonly known as vitamin A, for acne treatment using a unique delivery method that combines proliposomes and nanofibers. The goal was to assess how these specially formulated nanofibers, loaded with retinoic acid, could inhibit microbial biofilm formation, a common contributor to acne.

In our study, we created various formulations of blank and retinoic acid-loaded proliposomal nanofibers. By using different ratios of polyvinylpyrrolidone, phosphatidylcholine, and cholesterol, we aimed to optimize the delivery system. Our findings showed that these formulations were able to form liposomes rapidly after hydration and had appropriate characteristics such as vesicle size and stability.

Notably, the ATRA (all-trans retinoic acid) loaded nanofibers demonstrated greater bioadhesion than a commercial cream, suggesting they may adhere better to the skin. The results indicated these nanofibers offered superior antibacterial and anti-biofilm effects compared to retinoic acid alone. This suggests that this innovative delivery method could enhance the effectiveness of vitamin A in acne treatment.

Overall, the study highlights the promising potential of combining nanofibers and liposomes to improve acne treatment outcomes, showing that vitamin A can be more effective when delivered using this advanced method.

Viaminate significantly improves acne
Viaminate Inhibits Acnes-induced Abnormal Proliferation and Keratinization of HaCat Cells by Regulating the S100A8/S100A9- MAPK Cascade.
Direct focus on acne treatment
We explored how viaminate, a vitamin A acid treatment commonly used in acne therapy, impacts the skin. To investigate this, acne was induced in rat ears using a combination of acne bacteria and sebum. After 30 days of treatment, we saw a remarkable improvement in the thickening and keratin overproduction associated with acne.

Our analysis indicated that viaminate effectively modifies certain pathways related to skin cell behavior. Specifically, we observed a significant reduction in the expression of the S100A8 and S100A9 proteins, which are known to play a role in inflammation and skin proliferation. Furthermore, viaminate suppressed the activity of the MAPK pathway, which is vital for managing skin cell growth and differentiation.

Importantly, when we administered S100A8 and S100A9 proteins alongside viaminate, we found that this reversed its beneficial effects, highlighting the importance of these proteins in viaminate’s mechanism of action. Overall, our findings suggest that viaminate could serve as an effective option for treating acne by regulating cellular processes that contribute to its development.
