Hi everyone, I would like to ask is there anyone get dry skin when take certain supplement and found out what the root cause of it or deficiency on mineral/vitamin that cause drier skin.

My body is quite sensitive & my skin is kinda dry in the first place and I drink enough of water daily (2.5-3 litres per day). However I start noticing my skin (mostly on my leg and hand) will get drier until the itchy state and my finger cuticle will start peeling when I took some of the supplement. It almost like dehydrate my skin and i noticed my face does not produce any oil which normally my face will be a bit of oily by the end of the day. My symptom will happen in 1-2 days when i take the supplement. This drier symptom stop and my cuticle back to normal once i have stopped the supplement. I noticed it happen when I took cod liver oil, krill oil, probiotics, magnesium malate (was not trying all at once, was taking it each alone).

I have test a few different brand on these supplement, end up getting the same result. By right these supplement suppose to help up dry skin but am getting the opposite result. I am very confused. If anyone experience the same thing, kindly share and appreciate for helping me up. Many thanks.

Feel and visually also dry, until it will cause me to scratch it.

Mostly on face, hands, fingers (especially cuticle), hip & lower part of my leg. It happen for many years dy, i mean the dry symptom when i took the supplement. I kinda test few different brand of the same supplement (i.e cod liver oil) for 1-2 days then got the dry out symptom, then i stop and rest for few weeks, the dryness gone and test again. I just dunno what is wrong with me. The reason i took these supplement is my skin is dry or looks dehydrated maybe due to expose to air con long hours but those supplement make it worse.
