9 Vitamins That Actually Will Give You Healthier Hair, Skin, And Nails

When it comes to taking care of your hair, skin, and nails, having a solid routine in place to ensure the health of all three is key, but we can understand when a little boost is needed in the form of a vitamin or supplement. According to a 2018 consumer spending report, hair, skin, and nail vitamins will total 6.8 billion in sales by 2024 — and that's not exactly hard to believe given all of the influencers we've seen on social media in recent years attempting to sell us supplements that promise healthy nails, smoother skin, and thicker, runway model hair.

With that said though, there's very minimal evidence out there suggesting that taking a daily pill or gummy can actually improve the appearance of the hair and skin, and the FDA doesn't regulate supplements for safety or effectiveness before they hit the shelves, so it doesn't hurt to turn a side eye to products that boast these claims. They won't necessarily do what they claim to do...or might not even contain the ingredients they say they do. (And honestly, you're better off getting most of these vitamins and minerals from food.)

Still, if you're looking for a hair, skin, and nail vitamin to add to your daily routine, the main ingredients you should look for in each product are those like collagen, keratin, and biotin, as well as vitamins A, D, and E. There are plenty of vitamins out there that have some legit (backed by science!) results, so it may also help to seek out those formulas as well. Ahead, a few leading dermatologists share with us which types of hair, skin, and nails vitamins are actually worth taking.
