Say no to vitamin B12 to keep pimples at bay

Washington DC: Tired of pimples on your skin? A new research claims that staying away from vitamin B12 will keep off painful acne.

According to the new UCLA research, the activity of the vitamin tweaks how genes behave in the facial bacteria, and promote inflammation which leads to pimples.

By shedding light on one mechanism behind B12's role in acne, the UCLA finding may identify drug targets that lead to new treatments for acne.

The findings are published in Science Translational Medicine.
