Did Beta-Carotene Make My Hormonal Acne Worse, or Was It Just a Coincidence?

[jurejuric]

Is it possible that my hormonal acne got significantly worse after I took 18 mg of beta-carotene per day for 4 months, or was it just a coincidence that my hormonal acne got worse at 18? After I stopped taking beta-carotene, my acne significantly improved after about 1.5 months, and after 2.5 months it was back to the level it was before I started taking beta-carotene.

why does it matter to u
clean your diet and get rid off skincare OR get on accutane

My diet is 100% clean, so that’s not the issue. It’s important to find out if beta-carotene can actually trigger hormonal acne because it’s supposed to help your skin look better, not make it worse.
Also, why should I damage my liver and kidneys with Accutane if I can figure out what’s triggering my acne and avoid it instead?
