Dear Dr. Perricone,
My daughter is 22 & experiencing acne once again after years of struggling with this disease. She experienced remission after undergoing Accutane treatments (3 different times) and then while on Yazmine she also experienced good skin. But after getting off the Yazmine, her skin erupted again. Where to turn. She has been taking nutritional products to detox her liver which seemed to give some relief, but not altogether. What would you recommend at this Point? I might add that she is very prudent in taking good care of her skin topically & has used Murad, Pro-Active & now the Exposed Skin care system of products. She eats a good diet, rich in fruits & veggies, no soft drinks or caffeine & drinks lots of water.
What else can we do?
Please help!!

I heard that Accutane was actually taken off the shelf, is this true?

Also, what do you suggest is the best form of Vitamin A for supplement form and how many IU’s are needed per day to see results after time?

Thanks
