vitamin dosage and overdose?

i plan on buying this dietary supplement for my skin but its pretty expensive. alot of people have been saying its easier to buy the vitamins that make up the pill separately but when i look up the vitamins online i cant find the exact dosage that comes in the dietary supplement.

starting with the vitamins (in the picture i uploaded) if i cant find the exact dosage of say vitamin a what would be a safe amount to buy because the lowest i've seen is 10,000 iu? also i've taken accutane before (if anybody knows about it) which i believe is a vitamin a complex so im not to worried about a vitamin a overdose but if you could recommend my a dosage for those listed in the picture that would be alot of help and thx.

should i just buy the lowest amount that i can find zinc, vitamin b, calcium, etc. in?

Update:

also the dietary supplement recommends 4 pills a day, 2 in the morning and 2 at night. if i bought the vitamins and others individually should i also take 4 a day? maybe 2 times a day?

    first of all, you should know that taking a supplement has not been proven to help one bit. Nada, zip, zero, nothing. Second, if you take more vitimans than your body needs, your body will simply piss it out. So, all you are really doing is making your liver, kidneys and bladder work harder than they need to for zero benefit. If you are having skin problems, the best results come from creams and medications that are topical ointments applied to the skin, not by anything ya swallow. research the facts before ya spend a lot of money on garbage... good luck!
