Does anyone use vitamins or supplements in their water to help your skin? I used to take medicine years ago for my skin, but don't anymore. There's a new Crystal Light products called Skin Essentials that has lutein and zeaxanthin and antioxidants, Vitamins A, C and E--- which are all good for your skin. And instead of taking a supplement or vitamin, you can just drink a tasty crystal light flavor.

I haven't tried this yet, but I am interested in getting some and seeing the effects. Has anyone tried this? Or any other supplement for your skin?

That's interesting - are you a model?

I have tried drinking a lot of water to get rid of breakouts in the past but it usually didn't work. That's why I was so interested in this Skin Essentials ingredient, since I drink Crystal Light anyway.

In the past few weeks I have been drinking more water and have noticed that my skin looks fresher, but it hasn't "cured" any breakouts yet.

What do you mean "instead of"? It has (some) vitamins added to it.

It looks like a reasonably good product - it's not packaged in plastic and you add your own water, so it's fairly green as well.

If it's tasty and well-priced, why not.

Ingredients:

Citric Acid, Modified Cornstarch, Aspartame (Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine), Potassium Citrate, Calcium Phosphate, Contains Less than 2% of Natural Flavor, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Vitamin E Acetate, Beta Carotene, Marigold Flower Extract (Source of Lutein and Zeaxanthin), Acesulfame Potassium, Sodium and Potassium Bicarbonate, Calcium Carbonate, Soy Lecithin, Red 40, Blue 1, Tocopherol (Preserves Freshness).

Warnings: Contains: soy. Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine.

Calories 5

Directions: Empty each packet into 16.9 fl oz bottle of water (0.5 liter) or tall glass (then add 2 cups of water). Shake or mix. Packet can be mixed into 20 fl oz of water for a lighter flavor.
From Wiki:
Lutein and zeaxanthin have identical chemical formulas and are isomers, but they are not stereoisomers. The main difference between them is in the location of a double bond in one of the end rings.
...
Zeaxanthin is one of the most common carotenoid alcohols found in nature. It is the pigment that gives paprika (made from bell peppers), corn, saffron, and many other plants their characteristic color.
