HelloPharmacist Scorecard of SkinElixir Dragon Fruit Flavor by Arbonne
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
SkinElixir Dragon Fruit Flavor contains 7 active ingredients designed to support skin health. Biotin is a B vitamin that plays a role in skin and hair metabolism.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports collagen formation and skin repair. Silicon, hyaluronic acid, sea buckthorn fruit extract, gotu kola leaf and stem extract, and Monterey pine bark extract are all plant-derived or mineral compounds traditionally associated with skin hydration, elasticity, and healing.
The product also contains inactive ingredients—gum arabic, cane sugar, citric acid, dicalcium phosphate, natural flavors, rice, beet juice concentrate, and stevia leaf extract—which serve as binders, sweeteners, and flavorings.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence for what this product can do varies by ingredient. Biotin is effective for biotin deficiency; the data we hold shows it is possibly ineffective for multiple sclerosis and seborrheic dermatitis.
Vitamin C is effective for vitamin C deficiency and possibly effective for anemia of chronic disease, atrial fibrillation, cataracts, and exercise-induced respiratory infections. Sea buckthorn is possibly effective for burns but possibly ineffective for eczema.
Gotu kola is possibly effective for venous insufficiency and burns. Silicon, hyaluronic acid, and Monterey pine bark extract have either insufficient evidence or only broad claims like "possibly effective" for conditions such as osteoporosis, dry eye, or migraine—meaning the data we hold does not establish them clearly.
If you're considering this product for a specific skin concern, it's worth discussing what the actual evidence shows for your particular goal.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Most of these ingredients are generally well tolerated at normal supplement doses. Biotin is considered safe even at fairly high doses because excess amounts leave your body in urine, though high-dose biotin has rarely caused mild diarrhea.
Vitamin C at doses above 2 grams daily can cause abdominal cramps, heartburn, nausea, osmotic diarrhea, and kidney stones in those prone to them; very high intravenous doses have been associated with kidney problems in rare cases. Sea buckthorn at high doses (around 100 grams daily) may cause yellow staining of the skin.
Gotu kola is generally well tolerated short-term, but rare case reports link it to liver toxicity, and it may cause nausea or gastric irritation. Silicon and hyaluronic acid appear well tolerated from oral supplements, though long-term safety data is limited.
Monterey pine bark has very little human safety data. For pregnancy and breastfeeding: biotin, vitamin C, and silicon carry ratings of likely safe or possibly safe; gotu kola is possibly safe in pregnancy but safety during breastfeeding is unknown; sea buckthorn, hyaluronic acid, and Monterey pine bark lack sufficient safety data and are best avoided unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check the following medication types with your doctor or pharmacist: blood thinners like warfarin or antiplatelet drugs (moderate severity—vitamin C at high doses may reduce warfarin's effectiveness, and sea buckthorn may increase bleeding risk); blood pressure medications (moderate severity—sea buckthorn may lower pressure further); birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy (moderate severity—vitamin C may increase estrogen levels); chemotherapy drugs, especially those that generate free radicals like doxorubicin (moderate severity—vitamin C's antioxidant effects may reduce drug activity); sleep aids and sedatives including central nervous system depressants (moderate severity—gotu kola may add to sedation); and liver-metabolizing drugs (moderate severity—gotu kola has rare case reports of liver toxicity). Additionally, if you take levothyroxine for thyroid disease, vitamin C can increase its absorption and effectiveness, which may require dose adjustment; check with your pharmacist about timing.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
SkinElixir Dragon Fruit Flavor is a multi-ingredient skin supplement with some solid evidence (biotin for deficiency, vitamin C for deficiency and possibly some other skin concerns) and other ingredients with limited or unclear evidence. If you take any blood thinners, blood pressure medications, chemotherapy, sleep aids, or liver-metabolized drugs, check your specific medications on this page before starting, because several ingredients here interact at moderate severity.
Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist about whether it fits your health profile and medications.

SkinElixir Dragon Fruit Flavor by Arbonne Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
SkinElixir Dragon Fruit Flavor by Arbonne contains several ingredients with documented interactions.
The most serious concern comes through vitamin C, which at high doses can reduce the effectiveness of warfarin (a blood thinner used to prevent clots). Vitamin C also interacts with estrogens, chemotherapy drugs, aluminum-containing compounds, and several other medications through moderate-severity effects on absorption and activity.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Sea buckthorn fruit extract and gotu kola leaf and stem extract add further interactions to watch. Sea buckthorn may increase bleeding risk if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, and may also lower blood pressure alongside blood pressure medications.
Gotu kola can theoretically add to the sedative effects of sleep aids, sedatives, and other central nervous system depressants, and there are rare case reports linking it to liver toxicity when combined with drugs that stress the liver.
Biotin, silicon, hyaluronic acid, and Monterey pine bark extract have no interactions documented in our data. Altogether, these interactions span 898 individual medications.

For each ingredient in SkinElixir Dragon Fruit Flavor with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Gotu Kola Leaf and Stem Extract
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, taking gotu kola might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
In vitro research suggests that gotu kola may have sedative effects via binding of GABA receptors.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, taking gotu kola with hepatotoxic drugs might have additive adverse effects.
There are at least four case reports of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of gotu kola. However, more information is needed to determine if gotu kola was the causative factor in these cases.
Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, sea buckthorn may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Clinical research suggests that sea buckthorn fruit extracts can inhibit platelet aggregation and adhesion to collagen and fibrinogen.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking sea buckthorn with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Taking sea buckthorn appears to reduce blood pressure in some patients.
Vitamin C
Alkylating Agents
Theoretically, antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.
Aluminum
Vitamin C can increase the amount of aluminum absorbed from aluminum compounds.
Research in animals and humans shows that vitamin C increases aluminum absorption, theoretically by chelating aluminum and keeping it in solution where it is available for absorption. In people with normal renal function, urinary excretion of aluminum will likely increase, making aluminum retention and toxicity unlikely. Patients with renal failure who take aluminum-containing compounds such as phosphate binders should avoid vitamin C supplements in doses above the recommended dietary allowances.
Antitumor Antibiotics
Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of vitamin C might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs which generate free radicals, such as doxorubicin. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effects, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on chemotherapy.
Estrogens
Vitamin C might increase blood levels of estrogens.
Increases in plasma estrogen levels of up to 55% occur under some circumstances when vitamin C is taken concurrently with oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, including topical products. It is suggested that vitamin C prevents oxidation of estrogen in the tissues, regenerates oxidized estrogen, and reduces sulfate conjugation of estrogen in the gut wall. When tissue levels of vitamin C are high, these processes are already maximized and supplemental vitamin C does not have any effect on estrogen levels. Increases in plasma estrogen levels may occur when patients who are deficient in vitamin C take supplements. Monitor these patients for estrogen-related side effects.
Fluphenazine (Prolixin)
Theoretically, vitamin C might decrease levels of fluphenazine.
In one patient there was a clinically significant decrease in fluphenazine levels when vitamin C (500 mg twice daily) was started. The mechanism is not known, and there is no further data to confirm this interaction.
Indinavir (Crixivan)
Vitamin C can modestly reduce indinavir levels.
One pharmacokinetic study shows that taking vitamin C 1 gram orally once daily along with indinavir 800 mg orally three times daily reduces the area under the concentration-time curve of indinavir by 14%. The mechanism of this interaction is unknown, but it is unlikely to be clinically significant in most patients. The effect of higher doses of vitamin C on indinavir levels is unknown.
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)
Vitamin C can increase levothyroxine absorption.
Two clinical studies in adults with poorly controlled hypothyroidism show that swallowing levothyroxine with a glass of water containing vitamin C 500-1000 mg in solution reduces thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and increases thyroxine (T4) levels when compared with taking levothyroxine alone. This suggests that vitamin C increases the oral absorption of levothyroxine, possibly due to a reduction in pH.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
High-dose vitamin C might reduce the levels and effectiveness of warfarin.
Vitamin C in high doses may cause diarrhea and possibly reduce warfarin absorption. There are reports of two people who took up to 16 grams daily of vitamin C and had a reduction in prothrombin time. Lower doses of 5-10 grams daily can also reduce warfarin absorption. In many cases, this does not seem to be clinically significant. However, a case of warfarin resistance has been reported for a patient who took vitamin C 500 mg twice daily. Cessation of vitamin C supplementation resulted in a rapid increase in international normalized ratio (INR). Tell patients taking warfarin to avoid taking vitamin C in excessively high doses (greater than 10 grams daily). Lower doses may be safe, but the anticoagulation activity of warfarin should be monitored. Patients who are stabilized on warfarin while taking vitamin C should avoid adjusting vitamin C dosage to prevent the possibility of warfarin resistance.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, Others)
High-dose vitamin C might slightly prolong the clearance of acetaminophen.
A small pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers shows that taking high-dose vitamin C (3 grams) 1.5 hours after taking acetaminophen 1 gram slightly increases the apparent half-life of acetaminophen from around 2.3 hours to 3.1 hours. Ascorbic acid competitively inhibits sulfate conjugation of acetaminophen. However, to compensate, elimination of acetaminophen glucuronide and unconjugated acetaminophen increases. This effect is not likely to be clinically significant.
Aspirin
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase aspirin levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction is not clinically significant.
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase choline magnesium trisalicylate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.
Niacin
Vitamin C might decrease the beneficial effects of niacin on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.
A combination of niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) effectively raises HDL cholesterol levels in patients with coronary disease and low HDL levels. Clinical research shows that taking a combination of antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and selenium) along with niacin and simvastatin (Zocor) attenuates this rise in HDL, specifically the HDL-2 and apolipoprotein A1 fractions, by more than 50% in patients with coronary disease. It is not known whether this adverse effect is due to a single antioxidant such as vitamin C, or to the combination. It also is not known whether it will occur in other patient populations.
Salsalate (Disalcid)
Acidification of the urine by vitamin C might increase salsalate levels.
It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C could increase reabsorption of salicylates by the renal tubules, and increase plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams/day vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion, suggesting this interaction probably is not clinically significant.
