Sufficient vitamins and nutrients are required to combat these issues, and one such is Biotin, or vitamin H, B-7, a water-soluble vitamin. According to a study titled Biotin, published in the National Library of Medicine journal, this vitamin has the capacity to promote good skin health due to its innate ability to produce fatty acids; which nourishes the skin by promoting collagen growth.

Additionally, the study also suggested that biotin plays an important role in maintaining a healthy mucous membrane of the skin. It may also regulate the oil glands on the skin, thus effectively controlling sebum and oil production.

Another study titled Anti-Wrinkle Benefits of Peptides Complex Stimulating Skin Basement Membrane Proteins Expression, also published in the National Library of Medicine, suggested that biotin has multiple health benefits, including skin rejuvenation. However, more research is required to confirm whether biotin alone can improve skin appearance.
