Vitamin A kills melanin
Hello doctor, I was on treatment of isotetrin for acne for 7 months what i got was clear skin and brighter skin tone, I wanted to know what supplement should I use to keep that skin color preserve, I was advices for vitamin A rich foods would help, but since my busy lifestyle It is not possible, so I started intaking Multivitamins which has VITAMIN A 10,000 IU dosage, I wanted to know will that help, I know it could cause liver problems since this is fat soluble, for that I have planned for monthly LFT tests, to check if my liver is good with it and If I continue this will this affect my body's capabilities to produce its own Vitamin A?

Btw how long are you planning to use it ! It is not at all wise to self meditate especially vitamin A. It has no evidence to cause brightening. If it was that easy, whole world would be bright and clear, popping pills. Please follow right and sound advise.
