Day 3: , I noticed I wasn't getting the usual I get each and every other day. Instead of getting about 4 or so every other day, I got about 3 in a total of 3 days.
Day 5: I started 10mg yesterday, and notice i'm breaking out.

Why the hell are you trying B5? If you have acne due to hormonal imbalance mainly, try B6 (pyridoxine) instead of B5. Pyridoxine is much more affective in this case. Take it along with B2, which activates the pyridoxine. B5 will help a very little bit, but not much. Furthermore it will totally not be affective on any long run, so the very little effect it has will only be very temporarily. If you want to get stuck to your B5, just take the whole B-complex (at least B50 twice a day). Mainly B2/B6 50mg and the B5 50mg a little bit will do the job.

I'm taking it to see if Dr. Lit-Hung Leung's study works as written about here.
http://www.pantothenic-acid.com/acne_vulgaris.html Anyways, I'm on Day 10 right now. About 2 days ago, I started feeling a little dizzy so I went down to 5mg and i think i'm only going to increase the dosage to about 7 or 8 mg. At 10mg, when I'm at work and I bend over I feel my head a little oozy so I think that might not be too good. Anyone experience this, then have it go away after a while? Anyways, It's kinda hard to say if it's working or not, i'll keep using it, even though i'm not on the official documented 10mg. -Caesar

I purchased it from www.swansonvitamins.com They seemed to have great prices and come in a bottle of 250 capsules, consisting of 500mg. I got 2 bottles for 21.19, including S/H. -Caesar

B5 definitely reduces oil. It's so effective at this that some people need to start using a moisturizer after taking it awhile so that their face doesn't become too dry. I'm taking B5, and though there is a decrease in oil, I don't think I'll be needing to do that; my face is extremely oily again by the time I'm home from work at about 7PM (about ten hours after washing...lol). Over time it definitely improves skin tone and complexion...shrinking pores and whatnot...but don't expect to take a pill and for a red/irritated spot to be gone the next day.
I have to highly recommend B5. --J |

hey do not stop b5 after only 17 days. i started b5 in the beginning of october 2003 and by the time i left for school in early january 2004 is when my face actually was completely clear since starting the b5. b5 takes up to 2 and a half to three months to really work and it saved my life. i went from getting atleast one new zit a day to maybe now one zit a month. dont stop for atleast 2 months from now and take 20 of those swanson pills a day spread in fives through out the day im down to 5 pills a day and is still working great. peace.

I take Evolution X, and as per the procedure they recommend, I take 10g's daily (20 pills, 500mgs each). I spread it all out of course in 4 doses.
My experience with B5, was this...I got Evo X a while ago, and just as I ran out of the stuff, my father said I was practially totally clear, joking "it's a miracle!". He claimed a 90% improvement; this was a stretch, lighting was good at the time. Nonetheless, improvement was profound. Anyway, since I ran out, I broke out again and now I'm back where I started. I ordered 2 bottles and am halfway into the first. I do not intend to ever run out again, for any length of time. I witness that slacking at all, especially missing your bedtime dose, is just asking for pimples. I intend to be quite extremely clear after using this stuff for three months, after it'll have improved my complexion substantially and my scars will have diminished. By the way, I have a more annoying sort of moderate acne (it's not just a bit worse than minor; it's just a bit better than severe). --J |

keats! why do you say that b5 dont work? are you an idiot?
Oily skinn comes due to hormonal imbalance. and to reduce the oil b5 works exellent. B6 doesnt reduce your oil production so why do you say that b6 works better???? |

B5 didn't do jack shit for me. I took an entire 500mg bottle full of 100...
I didn't see any effects....except that the pills are HUGE. IMHO Vitamins are USELESS and don't do jack shit for acne...nor do they more than likely do anything for anything else. |
