Yes.Vitamin A has been shown to reduce sebum production and the build-up of keratin in the follicle. BUT........... The dosages required for this effect are relatively high (300,000-400,000 IU daily for up to six months) and *****POTENTIALLY TOXIC******!!!!. You should consult a Doctor before consuming high doses of vitimin A.

Yes, Vitamin A is used to improve the condition of your skin with retinoids (a class of Vitamin-A derivatives). Prescription products like Retin-A and Renova utilize Vitamin A derivatives to great effect However, you would have to eat a ton of carrots to get a good amount of Vitamin A . That many carrot can actually make your skin turn orange.

Possibly.
And when you say "improve", do you mean improve the acne itself, make it bigger and better?
Or are you implying getting rid of acne?
If so, that's not very nice.

Be careful when it comes to Vitamin A, it can be damaging if you go above 5,000 i.u.'s per day.
