I have tried it for a year. Serum retinol went from 35 to 45 and then eventually dropped to 25. Health didn’t improve at all. I have lots problems including gut issues and temperature issues, but avoiding retinol like the plague did nothing positive for me. My seb derm actually got a lot worse.
I didn't get great gut results either until I added beans to my diet. I started out with 1/2 cup 5 times per day and then reduced it to three times per day after about 8 months. I still eat beans 3 times per day. The beans really help get toxins out of your bile.I think the new way to do vitamin A detox is to focus more on the liver than just reducing how much you eat. Did you do any liver support during the diet? I was able to clear up some serious gut issues with activated charcoal.
