The characteristics of the vitamin E includes the anti oxidant activity which is very helpful in healing and repairing of the skin in question.

The fruits, vegetable and other products which are rich in this vitamin can also be taken to get rid of the diehard acne, white heads and black heads and as well acne scars.
Vitamin C is known for its ability to strengthen the immune system and increase the general immunity of the body so as to prevent the occurrence of this acne. This vitamin is also known for its free radical removing capability from the body of the relief seeker. This is very helpful in fully diminishing the acne from the face as well as the whole body. Similar to the vitamin E, vitamin C can also be administered as pill intake as well as in the supplement form in the amount range of 0.5 gram to1 gram range.
Studies have shown that a Vitamin A deficiency can in fact cause acne. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining acne free skin. That’s because this vitamin reduces oil production and helps build up protective tissue of the skin. If you are an acne sufferer, the recommended dose is 10,000 IU (International Unit), while pregnant women should consult their doctor prior to taking anything over 5000 IU daily.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and B3 (niacin, nicotinic acid) are water soluble vitamins and are essential for healthy skin. It is said that these B vitamins help to decrease greasiness of the skin hence preventing blackheads, acne and it blocked pores. B3 and B6 vitamins can be found in foods, like Broccoli, Avocados, Cabbage, Bananas, Cantaloupe, Corn and many more.
The above vitamins for acne are the best acne scar treatment that you can consider to eliminate those unwanted acne scars aside from applying acne skin care products.
