Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician I completely understand your health concerns.
Do you have acne? What is your complexion? Do you use sunscreen?
Generally skin tone ,complexion and texture are genetically determined but one can improve it by taking good care of skin. You should consume regular nutritional food. Always use sunscreen and proper face wash. You may use Cosmelon cream at night daily to your skin. Vitamin E supplement really help in improving skin.
As far as supplement for exercise is concerned, I advocate balanced diet that must contain milk and eggs.
Hope your query is adequately addressed

I just finish taking accutane and it cured my acne but I am left with indents. My skin complexion is off actually in my back and stomach, but I never had acne in those places. Is it better to apply vitamin e from capsule directly to skin or take it oraly?
