Yes vitamin D also has an anti-inflammatory property. Having adequate levels of vitamin D in your system may help address the inflammatory symptoms of acne vitamin D has antimicrobial properties. If the acne you have is caused by bacterial overgrowth, using topical vitamin D might calm your symptoms, Vitamin B12 is essential for cardiovascular and neurological health, as well as for the production of hemoglobin for red blood cells. Some oral medications for acne can interfere with the body?s absorption of vitamin B12. So both are necessary in correct dose, over dose cause acne worse.
