The fat soluble vitamins A, D, and E all play a role in the physiology of skin health. Topical vitamin A is most known for acne and aging, whereas vitamin D deficiency is well recognized in eczema and psoriasis. Antioxidant vitamin E boasts only introductory research, but early results appear promising. Skin is a unique organ when considering interventions as treatments can be used both topically and internally. This article pulls together the latest research on vitamins A, D, and E to help integrative practitioners looking to use oral or topical forms of these vitamins to help with various skin conditions.
Learning Objectives
- Define the evidence based doses of oral vitamin D3 in the use of dermatological diseases
- Distinguish between different forms of vitamin A and vitamin A analogues and their uses in common dermatological diseases
- Identify an efficacious dose of vitamin E, including the risks and rewards, for use in dermatological diseases
