I've noticed that drinking large amounts of carrot juice has helped to slightly improve my KP--could it be the Vitamin A? Has anyone else experienced this?

I haven't done it for more than a week or two because I start to get lazy about juicing all the carrots (and apples to give it some sweetness) on a daily basis. Plus, it seems to be more pricey than actually buy the packaged stuff.

Are there any great tasting carrot juices out there?

Where do you live? USA?

I'm not sure on what tastes best, but large amount of Vitamin A certainly seem to encance cell turnover rate, and slow down sebacious glands from producing oil. Make sure you check the Daily Value of healthy Vitamin A consumption on Answers.com or something, because you can't have too much of anything, even Vitamin A. There's also a chance that if you drink too much Carrot Juice, it can actually turn your skin orange, or at least that's what I've heard.

See if this search works for you - it's various threads here regarding carrot juice over the last 3 years:

This last one you may want to selectively go through them, the search engine here doesn't yet allow me to do "AND" or "include ALL keywords"-type searches so anything with "Vitamin" in the title comes up. A lot of people have had success with carrot juice and other things high in vitamin A apparently - carrot juice, sea buckthorn juice. Even some of the RX treatments are basically vitamin A type treatments if I am understanding correctly. Personally, oils and topical things that are high in vitamin A and E help me too. I sometimes buy "Vruit" brand juice which is packaged carrot juice mixed with other fruit juices. Probably not as good for you as fresh but it tastes fine. - bd

Note: My understanding has always been that toxicity only occurs from vitamin A from animal forms such as cod liver oil and other livers, and vitamin A supplements that are retinyl palmitate:

"toxicities only occur with preformed (retinoid) vitamin A (such as from liver), the carotenoid forms (such as beta carotene as found in carrots) give no such symptoms."

Vitamin A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please follow and research other references available there if you think you need to be concerned.

Mhm, topical retinoids, such as Tazorac and Retin-A, are derrived from Vitamin A, and Accutane is basically a ridiculous amount of Vitamin A. Vitamin A in your diet can actually interfere with these drugs.

And yes, you can turn orange/yellow:

Also in the above link is a list of other fruits and veggies with high vitamin A if you wanted to mix it up.

This is true!

Pediatricians recommend to alternate carrot & sweet peas (babyfood) because babies can turn orange or green if given everyday.
