And by stimulating epithelial renewal, vitamins promote faster healing.
Therapeutic properties of vitamin A

- participates in the formation of rhodopsin, a pigment responsible for night vision;
- inhibits the degeneration of cells into cancerous tumors;
- takes part in the production of sex hormones and immune cells;
- forms collagen in the skin.
Thanks to the formation of special enzymes in the epithelium, vitamin A prevents desquamation and dryness of the skin epithelium, improves the structure of nails, hair, and teeth.
For a woman during pregnancy, Retinol is especially necessary during the formation of bone tissue in the embryo and for the development of the internal organs of the baby.
Vitamin E
Tocopherol is a fat-soluble compound with a strong antioxidant effect. Its main ability is to influence the process of conception and pregnancy.

Reviews
Anastasia, 16 years old. Tyumen
I have teenage acne in such quantities that it’s just terrible. I found out on the Internet that Aevit helps, and began smearing it on my face in the mornings and evenings. After a week, my face began to look like something, and after a month I looked quite decent. A good product, I recommend it to everyone. Now I continue to use it.
Ekaterina, 28 years old, Omsk
I take Aevit capsules in courses. I have a psychiatric diagnosis and psoriasis. Both doctors - a psychiatrist and a dermatologist - advised me to drink Aevit. They told me how to take it, which is interesting, the instructions were the same. I take capsules to improve my well-being, mood, and solve skin problems. As long as I feel good, my skin looks normal. But after a course of treatment, after 5-6 days, nerves always begin and fatigue sets in.
Asya, 25 years old, Kemerovo
As a teenager, I took Aevit for acne, because there were a lot of them. Then the capsules saved me, now I get by with the cream. My work is stressful, before that my studies were stressful, I can’t eat right, so my health is always somehow not good. You have to be treated with vitamins, otherwise your skin will be in trouble.
Alexandra, 34 years old, Samara
I used an oil solution from Aevit capsules for acne. I did wraps with it, and compresses, and hair masks. I won’t say that I went straight from Cinderella to a princess, but the face in the mirror became much more pleasant. The pimples are gone almost completely, only a couple pop up sometimes. There are no more wrinkles or cracks. In general, I am satisfied with this treatment.
Lisa, 18 years old, Tyumen
My teenage acne never went away. Not too much, but noticeable, I tried to push them, it turned out even worse. My mother made an appointment for me to see a good cosmetologist, she recommended Aevit - drink capsules and apply cream. After a month, the skin became smooth, no acne or sores.
Arina, 27 years old, Omsk
But Aevit didn’t help me. More precisely, when I started taking it, my heart began to constantly hurt, I felt eternal irritation, and it became completely impossible to work. I stopped taking the capsules, but the symptoms did not go away. That’s how I was diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis, and before that I didn’t even know that I was sick. Now I take hormones and treat acne using my grandmother’s methods.
Interaction with other drugs
Vitamin A weakens the effect of calcium. Some antibiotics and minerals reduce the absorption of the drug, sometimes requiring an increase in dosage.
Hormonal contraceptives increase the concentration of the drug in the blood plasma, and simultaneous use with tetracycline increases intracranial pressure.
Simultaneous use with anticoagulants can reduce the level of prothrombin and promote the development of bleeding.
Aevit is a medicinal product; it has strict indications and contraindications for oral administration. The purpose and dosage are determined by the attending physician.
Outdoor use
It is effective to use the drug externally. The contents of the ampoule or capsule are applied pointwise or completely to the face. First you need to cleanse the skin with a tonic, scrub, or steam it with an application of herbal decoction or warm water. The oil solution is applied to the face and décolleté in a thin layer, massaged for maximum absorption, and left overnight. In the morning, wipe the skin with tonic and use skincare products.
To treat single pimples, you can use a targeted practice: apply the solution only to areas of inflammation as it is absorbed. Usually 2-3 days are enough to relieve inflammation and complete regeneration.
You can saturate creams and masks with Aevit. It's convenient and useful. Mix a portion of the cream with 2-3 drops of the drug in the palm of your hand and apply. It is recommended to carry out this procedure at night. It has a therapeutic and preventive effect and will be useful for aging skin prone to irritation.
The effect of anti-aging masks is significantly increased if you add Aevit. Add 2-5 drops of the capsule contents to the base prepared according to any recipe. Clay masks are especially popular:
- For acne-prone, oily skin - from white, blue, yellow clay.
- Gray clay is good for dull, inflamed, tired skin
- Red clay is effective for irritated skin prone to rashes and allergies.
- Black - to get rid of blackheads and pimples, tighten pores.
One tablespoon of clay is diluted with warm water to the consistency of sour cream, 2-4 drops of oil solution are added and applied to previously cleansed skin for 15-25 minutes (until it dries completely).
