TLDR Vitamins A, B3, C, D, and E can improve skin health and immunity.

The review discusses the role of vitamins A, B3, C, D, and E in modulating skin health, immunity, and diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and acne. These vitamins have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties that can influence skin immunity and potentially halt the progression of skin diseases. The review emphasizes the importance of understanding the immuno-pharmacology of these vitamins to explore their therapeutic potential. It also highlights the need for further research on the molecular and cellular markers affected by these vitamins and their derivatives.
