Healthy Retinol Alternative? #shorts

Foreign. Accutane AKA Isotretinoin is the oral form of, you name it Retinol. I'm a board certified dermatologist. Let's jump in because eating a bunch of carrots is in no way, shape or form going to help you clear up your cystic acne, blackheads or whiteheads. In fact, if you eat more than 3 to 10 carrots a day, you can actually develop a condition known as Keratinemia in which your palms and your soles can actually turn orange and if you decide to go wrong strong, you can become an Oompa Loompa in the process. But is keratinemia dangerous? Not really. Unless you do become an Oompa Loompa. Then at that point you can develop something known as Vitamin A toxicity which will land you in the hospital with liver damage as well as hair loss, brittle nails and bony issues as well as visual changes. So instead just use a retinol topically or go see a board certified dermatologist. If you do need to go on Accutane and if you have any questions, leave them in the question section below.
