Vitamin A reduces rash severity
We explored how vitamin A affects rash severity in ferrets infected with canine distemper virus (CDV). Our study involved both vitamin A-replete and vitamin A-depleted ferrets, assessing the impact of high-dose vitamin A on CDV symptoms.

Interestingly, ferrets that received vitamin A did not develop typical disease symptoms and only showed a mild rash, highlighting the vitamin's protective effect. The findings suggest that supplementing with vitamin A can significantly mitigate rash and other illness manifestations, reinforcing its potential benefits against similar viral infections in humans.

Retinol peel improves skin appearance
We explored the impact of a specialized 3% retinol peel on skin issues—like rash—affecting women undergoing adjuvant therapy for breast cancer. This low-invasive treatment was administered to four subjects at least six weeks after their surgical therapy ended.

After just four weeks, we found that all patients experienced improved skin brightness and firmness. Additionally, they reported high satisfaction with the treatment, feeling it positively contributed to their recovery journey.
We explored diaper dermatitis, a common skin issue in infants, to understand how skin care practices impact its prevention. Through a thorough review of 13 studies, we found that different cleansing methods, like baby wipes and water, are effective for diapered skin.

Bathing infants with a liquid baby cleanser appears just as beneficial as using water alone. However, the use of ointments containing zinc oxide or petrolatum—with or without vitamin A—showed similar effects on diaper dermatitis severity. Unfortunately, no conclusive evidence was found to suggest that any specific skin care practice consistently prevents this condition, highlighting the need for further high-quality trials.

Eliminated sun rash
Great skin preparation for sun exposure! I've struggled with a sun allergy for quite some time, experiencing a red rash on my chest and numerous tiny freckles across my body. After learning about beta-carotene, I decided to give it a go. I typically buy Solgar and start using it around April or May, continuing for three months. It seems to completely alleviate those pesky sun-related side effects for me.

Improved skin rashes
Natural vitamin A has benefited my skin rashes significantly. A great product!

Reduced facial rash
I trialled this vitamin before summer and took it for a month before going to the seaside. I aimed to enhance my tan and mitigate the adverse effects of UV exposure. Overall, I did not observe a significant impact on tanning, as my skin usually tans well without this vitamin. However, I believe that it has lessened the negative effects of sun exposure, as I experienced fewer rashes on my face after taking it.
