In this video, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray reviews five dietary supplements that actually have credible scientific evidence for specific skin conditions. While many popular skin supplements are driven by marketing claims, this video focuses on ingredients with stronger clinical support and how they may be used as adjuncts in dermatology.
Dr. Dray discusses N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), omega-3 fatty acids, nicotinamide, myo-inositol, and polypodium leucotomos, including how they work, who may benefit, and important safety considerations. This video also emphasizes that supplements are not a replacement for standard medical care and should always be discussed with a physician before use.
