No. If it were that easy, everyone would be taking Vit A instead accutane. Just because a chemical is related to another substance doesn't make it the same thing
@@klaus5098 Accutane is a synthetic vitamin A that does not destroy the liver. unlike actual vitamin A which becomes toxic in high doses because its fat attaches to fat in the liver while accutane is water based. Accutane basically allows you to take tons of vitamin A without the toxicity. What it does is shrink the oil glands.
Zinc is great for your immune system and try collagen for your hair, nails and skin. Also its milligrams (mg). I know it's been over a year and hope you are still doing well. Also look up Dr. Josh Axe videos, very helpful and has one for acne.
Happy my comment helped! I can also recommend taking turmeric supplements as a natural anti-inflammatory and probiotics for gut health by taking either “bio-kult” tablets (superior to acidophilus tablets) or by eating natural probiotics like Korean kimchi (spicy cabbage pickle) available in health food stores. An all round multivitamin like Solgar’s “Female Multiple” will cover your zinc intake and general female hormone balance! Keep with the Vitamin A separately! Dandelion root tea and liquorice teas for the evening also help with cleansing the blood, rebalancing female hormones and helping with skin complaints! Happy to see such a success story, keep up your inspiring channel, it helps to support so many girls and women struggling with the same skin issues!!! Love from London! 💕🤗
Centrum for women made my skin explode with painful acne in the past, it went away when I stopped taking it. Also Biotin supplement commonly causes acne as it boosts oil and keratin production
I Will be back to say my results, thank u so much again!!! Did you believe that anybody here in Brazil knows about this??? Im in shock and im Lucky because i understand your language ❤️💜
I tried that many times, putting1-2 tablespoons into 500 ml water and both times before or after food i still got blood in my poop. So thats not for everyone.
Unfortunately when I started taking zinc and vitamin A I broke out but! It could have been the brand or birth control. I’m willing to give it a shot again.
You need to add copper in your if you are taking Zinc. Zinc reduces the amount of copper absorption. Some are taking high levels of zinc. Research please, and be health
Lakisha please try ground garlic (not softgel but the ground/powder capsules, softgels don't work) for 1 month and let me know how that goes for you. It has helped me a ton.
It's been 6 months since I have stopped taking birth control, so I had a huge break out 2 weeks ago but now it's getting better. I started taking Vitamin a and ZINC 1 month ago (8 April 2021) and I can see a little change. I'm taking it during dinner, because when I tried taking it during the day I felt nauseous and really tired even if it was not all the times. For the skincare I am using the anti marks cream from LA roche posay and the repair 50SPF balm also from LA roche posay. I don't drink milk and reduce eating sugar.
@@emm9006 My skin looked better but it didn't got rid of all my acne. I still take ZINC because it reduce my acne but it has no impressive impact on my skin. I really took it seriously for 2 or 3 months I can't remember
HI Lakisha! So after stopping taking the vitamin A + zinc combo, how's your skin doing now? My question really is, do we need to keep on taking this combo to keep the acne away? or does taking this combo for sometime actually solve the acne problem?
@@itsLakishaa glad to hear! I am taking a low dosage of zinc now :) n occasionally l-lysine. It works in keeping the cystic ones under control but i still got small pimples occasionally and blocked pores. Do u have blocked pores?
Well you got me going on your wonderful podcasts with the KOSO then I saw this one about A and zinc. As a very well seasoned lady who's passion is caring for myself without taking any chemicals aka pharmaceuticals that Dr's want to push on us. This comment is to all darker skinned people and the vital need to take more Vitamin D3 (which is actually a hormone) and MK 7, as the darker skin (even caucasian with tans) need to up their dosages of Vitamin D3 thus upping MK7 (best to always take the 2 together to keep bones. I wouldn't tell anyone how much to take but for references and I live in Florida (so plenty of sun) I take 20,000IU's in the morning and evening most days, I know some will say YIKES but now in winter months some northerners will not be going out a much or will be covered warmer dress. Stay blessed everyone Keep up your great work Lakisha
You are absolutely right! Especially with the Vitamin D3. It is so important for everyone, particularly those with deeply melanated skin to up their dosage. I would always suggest meeting with a naturopath (that’s what I ended up doing) to get a full work up and see what they specifically need and what dosage. Thank you so much for watching and sharing such good advice ❤️✨

Vitamin A causes dryness and thus probably helped with your oil production and helped with breakouts but it may be the reason your skin became sensitive. Accutane is vitamin A and after treatment it can leave your skin thin and sensitive after. Acne has to do with your gut most likely. Have you tried a probiotic?
Very good to know I'm sure that's the reason for the dryness and sensitivity. And I've tried probiotics before, I am currently doing a bit of research on another method to try so we'll see. Thanks for your comment!

@@Greenmango22 hi gn I wld like to say it wrked but it didn't. I was very optimistic but I have PCOS so my doctor said it's nothing am not doing it just is. Thanks though for the support.
You'd technically be taking 12500 iu of vitamin a with the centrum multivitamins. But I did some reading and it is considered "safe" to take 25000 iu of vitamin a and be okay. I am doing the same. Also I wouldn't take iron with zinc atleast around the same period of time. There are some studies that say you shouldn't do this. Edit: I might add that this is a great video. Glad to see you are still alive. So I am doing the same. I am 27 years old. I still have cystic acne and I would like to get it under control.
Have you ever tried Pantothenic Acid for acne? After watching your video, should I also take Zinc and Vitamin A simultaneously? Please advise.......... btw nice makeup and the lip color matches the sexy lace top
Thank you so much hon! I haven't personally tried Pantothenic Acid for my acne, but I do recommend the Zinc and Vitamin A since it did help me. I would advise to use a lower dosage though.
Hi Lakisha, Thank you for such a nice informative video. Have you tried Spirulina and, or Chlorella? It has the zinc and vitamin A and so much more in it.
Spirulina and Chlorella have high amounts of salt which trigger acne. I know this because I’m still recovering from the HUM daily cleanse that had them in it and made my skin break out horribly.
I haven't personally tried either of as of yet, but I have heard some good reviews about it. I am still researching currently. Have you tried it before?
@@itsLakishaa yes, I just started taking it but it's to soon to tell. By the way your interview with the young man that worked with dr. Sebi was so good I didn't want it to end. So much to learn. Thank you for answering me.
I use to take vitamin A for skin breakouts. The first month i thought I found the cure However I think my body build up a resistance to it so I started breaking out again. Should try again to confirm
Hi! I have 2 questions, if you or anyone else has helpful information about this pls let me know. So should i take both cod liver oil and vitamin A or just the first one since in that screenshot you put in the vid it says that is the best form of vitamin A? And the other one is, if I have 15mg zinc picolinate capsules am I good to take two of them so its 30mg?
@@tonysamphson9879 amazing my skin is doing well. I just have dark marks but I would def recommend them. I dont take them everyday anymore bc too much vitamin a is bad but they saved my skin!
Hey babe! Your videos are great😍 I've struggled with acne since about 13 years old and I'm planning on trying this. However I am currently on a 14 day slimming detox tea (keyshia ka'oir) and I'm wondering if it's safe to take these supplements along with my tea daily? Tia! ❤🤟🏼
That1Kouple thank you so much for your comment! I feel your struggle so thank you so much for sharing. I would advise not to mix the two. From what I know of detox teas, they are essentially laxatives so I don’t really recommend taking them. The one that you’ve mentioned, I’ve taken a look at the ingredients, unless they have added something else it seems fine since it basically a herbal tea but I’d always take that with a grain of salt. I always recommend that less is more. Do one thing at a time so maybe when you’re done the tea then take a week or Teri to fully get it out of your system before starting the pills. Hope that helps ❤️
@@itsLakishaa You are welcome! Yeah I'm 26 now and still struggling so I am definitely going to take your advice and wait a week after. This tea is already hurting my tummy enough lol best of luck ❤
So confused why you'd stop taking something that cured your cystic acne. I really hope it doesn't come back for you. I've been struggling with cystic acne and recently stumbled upon Vitamin A, Zinc, B5, DIM, Stinging Nettle and changing my diet to a whole food plant-based with a lot of cruciferous vegetables and seeing good results so far
You’re absolutely right! And it really did help but as I said in the video 50mg of zinc is a lot. I pretty much took the highest dosage of vitamin a and zinc that is safe to take to try and speed up my results but is a lot to take for an extended period of time and I decided to discontinue using the two pills (as I am not a nutritionist )and opt for a skin targeted/holistic prescription instead. I recently posted my experience with Care/of Personalized vitamins. I saw this first from Cassandra Bankson here on YT (she suffered from cystic acne as well) This is what I’m currently using and my cysts have not returned. Hope that helps!
I have cancer and my vitamin D and iron and white blood cells are super low. And I’m Anemic too I’m always cold 😩😩 I have to be carful what I do not to hurt myself like if I cut myself it takes forever to heal. Due to low white blood cells any thoughts on what vitamins I should take for my white bloods cells?
BLACK SEED OIL!!!! It’s can cure cancer and other diseases also drink half ur weight in ounces of water every day and try to get in the sun... black seed oil is very powerful and has changed lives.💕
I feel nausea only if I eat alittle snack with it because mine is a high dosage and I need to make sure I eat enough so I take mine at nighttime after I ate dinner
Serene Serenity I have my skin before was clear and broke out, out of nowhere I started taking zinc and vitamin A my skin is clearing up but I stopped taking zinc and now I’m just taking Vitamin A, D, C, &E
Sorry for the late reply, I just saw your comment. From my research, I haven't found anything saying that they shouldn't be taken together, and like the Lady T. said, there are vitamin C tablets that already have zinc in them. I would advise taking something like that since the doses are already mapped out for you. When it comes to mixing vitamins however, I would always recommend taking one at a time to start since you shouldn't mix too many together. I would always speak with your doctor to see if it is something they would recommend for you, otherwise, take a multivitamin. Hope that helps.
You were taking way too much vitamin A. Cod liver oil has vitamin A, so does your MVI, on top of the vitamin A you were already taking. Glad you stopped taking it.
@@itsLakishaa megagrams would also be abbreviated to the same letters, just a capital M (ie "Mg") instead of a lowercase m, though we more commonly refer to a Mg/megagram, as a metric ton, 50 megagrams of zinc (or anything else) likely exceeds the maximum load for a semi-trailer and is definately way to much zinc to take (not least no human could hope to lift a single 50megagram tablet nor fit it in their mouth)
Make sure the vitamin A doesn’t have any sugars or filler because that will just cause more break out s. I’m there use B5 also helps but you must go low carb and limit fats like diary milk and bread.
Zama Kumalo When i took vitamin a and zinc my skin did purge a little. I had vitamin a gel capsules so i would take the gel and put it directly on my skin and the breakouts cleared up. But over all my skin has stopped breaking out

You’re skin is getting drier is because of the vitamin a. It has a similar effect to accutane, because accutane is a vitamin a in large doses :)
You’re actually not allowed to drink vitamin a during accutane.

@@itsLakishaa pls can you tell me the Zinc that u are using name ??and vitamin A
What about accutane? Does it work as people claim?
It worked for me but it does dry your lips ears and everything else extremely. It worked well and quick but definitely has its cons.
Yes it does work.
It only has a 15 - 30% success rate for true hormonal acne. It didn't work for me.
But it gives u acne back after taking them😭
Taking 50 mg zinc is normal?
I have cancer and my vitamin D and iron and white blood cells are super low. And I’m Anemic too I’m always cold 😩😩 I have to be carful what I do not to hurt myself like if I cut myself it takes forever to heal. Due to low white blood cells any thoughts on what vitamins I should take for my white bloods cells?
BLACK SEED OIL!!!! It’s can cure cancer and other diseases also drink half ur weight in ounces of water every day and try to get in the sun... black seed oil is very powerful and has changed lives.💕
Drink chaga, dont eat dairy, sugar, meat and maybe gluten. Search a good naturopath or homeopath to fix your rootcause. Much love darling!💚
Shark liver oil
I hope you are well!! Please buy TURKEY TAIL MUSHROOM. It will increase your white blood cell count! I use the powder form.
Thanks you how to use vitamin A and zinc tablets
Beef liver supplement is great
How can I take it should I swallow it or mix it
vit A at this dose can cause toxicity so maybe don't take it
This happened to me and now I'm trying to figure out how to deplete the Vitamin A stored in my liver.
Can vitamin a of 25,000 iu is safe to take for mild acne(texture skin) pls replyy
Boitin causes breakout!
Biotin makes me break out. It’s bad for me.
So sorry to hear, I feel you.
mg =milligrams 1000mg=1gram
I don't recieve any nausea when I take my zinc. I'm not sure if it's the brand that I take but I take the Thorne brand
I feel nausea only if I eat alittle snack with it because mine is a high dosage and I need to make sure I eat enough so I take mine at nighttime after I ate dinner
@@kurlyheadkort1468 Have you gotten any benefits from zinc?
Serene Serenity I have my skin before was clear and broke out, out of nowhere I started taking zinc and vitamin A my skin is clearing up but I stopped taking zinc and now I’m just taking Vitamin A, D, C, &E
@@kurlyheadkort1468 Great to hear girl! Thank you.
@@kurlyheadkort1468 Have you experienced any hair loss?
Hii can I take vitamin c and zinc at the same time? Plss reply....thanks ❤️🥰🇨🇦🏳️🌈🙏
I would think so. The supplement that I purchased from Vitamin Shoppe has Zinc and vitamin c in it.
Sorry for the late reply, I just saw your comment. From my research, I haven't found anything saying that they shouldn't be taken together, and like the Lady T. said, there are vitamin C tablets that already have zinc in them. I would advise taking something like that since the doses are already mapped out for you. When it comes to mixing vitamins however, I would always recommend taking one at a time to start since you shouldn't mix too many together. I would always speak with your doctor to see if it is something they would recommend for you, otherwise, take a multivitamin. Hope that helps.
You were taking way too much vitamin A. Cod liver oil has vitamin A, so does your MVI, on top of the vitamin A you were already taking. Glad you stopped taking it.
I fell nauseous
You are beautiful !
Thanks for sharing 👍👍
have u tried B5, vitamin B5 worked very well for me. took some tjme to clear my acne but still worked.
I just commented on the video for her to try it!! panothenic acid! yeay!!

Its milligrams , hun .
lol thank you!
@@itsLakishaa all good. Dam metric system. Lol
Mg is milligrams 🥰
Milligram lol (mg)
Thank you!
@@itsLakishaa megagrams would also be abbreviated to the same letters, just a capital M (ie "Mg") instead of a lowercase m, though we more commonly refer to a Mg/megagram, as a metric ton, 50 megagrams of zinc (or anything else) likely exceeds the maximum load for a semi-trailer and is definately way to much zinc to take (not least no human could hope to lift a single 50megagram tablet nor fit it in their mouth)
Did anyone start purging after using vitamin a
Zama Kumalo update pls
I started taking vitamin A on the 17th April n now I’m breaking out even more, so I’m not sure if I’m purging or just breaking out
Make sure the vitamin A doesn’t have any sugars or filler because that will just cause more break out s. I’m there use B5 also helps but you must go low carb and limit fats like diary milk and bread.
Zama Kumalo When i took vitamin a and zinc my skin did purge a little. I had vitamin a gel capsules so i would take the gel and put it directly on my skin and the breakouts cleared up. But over all my skin has stopped breaking out
@@mariahr5946 is the gnc vitamin A and zinc pills good? I just bought them
