Administration of vitamin A and E to patients with acne has been found to improve their condition say researchers at the Jordan University of Science and Technology. These vitamins are known to be necessary for health, and deficiency can cause serious diseases.
Taking the blood plasma of 100 newly diagnosed but as yet untreated patients, the scientists compared their levels of the vitamins with 100 age-matched healthy controls. They found that the levels of both vitamins A and E were significantly lower in the patients with acne than in the healthy controls. Patients with more severe acne had greater deficiency in both vitamins.
