It is believed that Vitamin A will help to prevent wrinkles, so they supplement it into cream in attempts to create a cream that will pevent winkles.

However, vitamins are only effective when metabolized in our body. The vitimin (found natually in food) is ingested by the person, then the vitamin is then used to help with functions around the body (which in this case may be to reduce wrinkles). HOWEVER when vitamins are applied to skin, the skin does not know what to do with the vitamin and the vitamin is ineffective in carrying out its function.

Yes you can. Vitamin A is very much used to treat acne. Potent medicines like Retin-A are prescription only. Other less potent creams are sold over the counter and require longer time to act but are probably less harsh on your body over the long term.
