Useful Vitamins for Acne - Vitamin A

Vitamin A beta-carotene or retinol, is very important for your skin, because when there is a deficiency, the skin tends to look dry and rough.

One should also consume Vitamin A along with Vitamin E, as the Vitamin A needs the fat that is found in Vitamin E in order for the body to properly digest it.
