I am currently trying to find a good women's multivitamin, but what amount of vitamin A should I be looking for if I use Tretinion .025% on my face every night?

The amount of vitamin A found in the women's multivitamins should not interact with the Tretinoin. The average amount of vitamin A found in most of the multivitamins is 2500-3500 IU's. The One-A-Day Women's Formula Vitamins has the lowest amount at 2500 IU.
