I have been using the Duac topical gel for about 3 weeks, but I was wondering if you could take these new Frutels brand gummy vitamins that are made to clear your acne wherever it is on your body, together. Any help please? Esp. Dermatoligists or Pharmacists.

Sure, they are safe with Duac. Good luck.

I don't have a serious acne problem, but I have little whiteheads that be turning into blackheads, then they dry out and come off. At least they don't stay with me for long, but I would love to know which types of food I should eat to prevent acne and what vitamins are great for preventing acne?

I've seen a research study online that was done in China (I think) and it showe that taking high doses of Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) reduces acne. This research was done on a group of people with Acne Vulgaris (worse form of acne) and by taking 10gram a day, their acne was significantly reduced. The only downfall with this is that, in order to get 10g of this vitamin, you would need to take 20 pills a day since most places offer then in 500mg tablets. Now since you probably dont have Acne Vulgaris, you probably wont need so much but if you want a smooth face, its worth a try.

I have bacne and acne.
what are some good vitamins i should take?

I take Vitamin E capsules as well as put Vitamin E Oil (yes, oil) under my eyes. It doesn't make your skin more prone to breakouts by putting on your face.

I've had acne my whole life (not fun, clear now)...I'll just list out some of the things I've used before that work:
*Nature's Cure Body Spray (great for the places that are hard to reach, back)
*Purpose SPF 15 face lotion (really evens out texture) I used to think that lotion would make my face oiler, but this lotion is a Godsend.
*Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub works wonders when you leave it on for a few minutes.
...If you have any other ?s feel free to message me!

What daily vitamin do you recommend to take if I have acne prone skin? I would like to reduce the acne, and I also have dry skin sometimes. So, I guess what I'm saying is that I would like to find a vitamin that could help with reducing acne, and just be all around good for skin to make it healthy & stuff. Thanks.

Zinc is proven to heal acne, so you should take some everyday. It can be from vitamin pills or from food. The other vitamins are good for health and skin, but zinc is good for it's properties. If you currently have outbreaks and zits all over, you may use zinc supplements to alleviate what you are going through. Zinc can help heal your blemishes, reduce the inflammation, and reduce the androgenic effect of hormones on your skin. Thus, if you want your pimples to heal faster, taking some zinc supplements may be a good idea.

Same question, different time, kind of a different category :) ...
I've been recently reading certain articles about acne, in particular for the cystic kind, and it's come up in some that Zinc and Vitamin A can help really well. Is this true? And if so, how are you supposed to take the "doses" or whatever the intake is... I really don't know and so I appreciate the answers, thanks a lot!

Yes vitamin A is good for your skin and that's not all, it's used by your whole body. Remember that taking to much can make you sick among other possible dangers like birth defects if you're pregnant. Zinc also helps acne, not enough zinc in your system is bad for you and too much is also bad so it's good to watch how much you take.
You should probably go to a dermatologist to ask about these options. There are also vitamin supplement pills over the counter. One other thing you can do is eat foods that are rich in the vitamins that you are deficient in, just be carefull and like I said before see a doctor first. You don't know who on yahoo answers is right and even if you might think that I or anyone else has answered your question, you should remember that I am not a doctor and I don't know how your body reacts to different medications. See a doctor, that is my number one advice.
Good luck!
