Hello,
Here are the clear, scientific facts for your questions:
1. Can you take it for 3 months?
Yes, a moderate daily dose (up to 500 mg) is safe for 3 months if your dietary fruit intake is low. Always take it immediately after breakfast with plenty of water. Avoid taking high doses (over 1000 mg) or on an empty stomach, as excess can cause acidity, stomach cramps, or unnecessary kidney load.
2. Will it make your skin 100% "clear"?
Vitamin C boosts collagen, repairs sun damage, and enhances radiance, but it is not a standalone magic cure for active acne, dark spots, or deep pigmentation. Clear skin depends primarily on gut digestion, hormonal balance, hydration, and an appropriate skincare routine.
3. Smarter Approach:
Oral supplements support from within, but for active skin issues (like breakouts or uneven texture), targeted topical skincare combined with an antioxidant-rich diet works much faster.
If you are dealing with specific skin concerns like acne, marks, or dullness, feel free to share details in a consultation for a customized skincare and nutrition plan.

Vitamin C tablets are generally safe for a healthy person to take daily, there is no major issue with regular use at a normal dose. If you are taking it for skin or immunity, it works best alongside a balanced diet rather than as a stand-alone fix.
Next Steps
Most people notice any change, if at all, after 6 to 8 weeks of consistent use. If there is no specific deficiency, food sources like citrus fruits, amla and guava cover most of your daily need too.
Health Tips
Stop and check with a doctor if you get stomach upset, acidity or loose motions, since very high long-term intake can cause these.
