Hey, I'm 31 and in pretty good health overall, but I've got these pimples and old acne marks on my nose that I'm trying to deal with. I've been taking the Evion 400mg, those green colored capsules, for the past three weeks. Is it okay to keep taking them? I'm just concerned if they could cause any harm to my health. Would love some advice on this!

Safety and Use:
- Taking Evion 400mg (tocopheryl acetate) is generally safe for most adults when used appropriately.
- Vitamin E is not the most effective treatment for pimples or acne marks.
Effectiveness:
- Limited scientific evidence supports vitamin E's effectiveness for treating acne or scars.
Recommendations:
- Consult a dermatologist for targeted treatments like topical retinoids or chemical peels.
- Maintain a gentle skincare routine and protect your skin from sun exposure.
Caution:
- If you experience symptoms like bleeding or digestive issues, stop the supplement and seek medical advice.

In summary, while short-term use of Evion 400mg is unlikely to harm you, consulting a dermatologist will provide more effective treatment options for your skin concerns.
