So I started B5 again one week ago using some leftover Vilantae.

This stuff did more for me in one month than Accutane has done in 5 months, without leaving me with muscle pains, extremely dry and embarrassing lips and sore eyes/bad eyesight.

I am taking 10G a day again and will begin taking plain B5 (not Vilantae) in about a week.

B5 is awesome and I urge anybody contemplating Accutane to try Vilantae (for the money back guarantee) for at least 3 months before they begin poisonous Accutane, like I should have.


As with before I expect to see an improvement after another week (see original log 2 week progress shot).

Wish me luck!

Its going alright.

It has been a bit over three weeks and pretty much the same things happened as last time. I broke out around week two and now I am beginning to clear up again.

Anticipating a break-out over the weekend as I had McDonalds on wednesday and my usual Maccas to breakout delay is 3 - 5 days (without fail), maybe the B5 will be able to help that a bit.

Once again, anybody who feels nothing is working for them, I urge to use B5 or Vilantae, probably Vilantae to begin with as you have the money back policy.

I'll have another update when theres something more to say

WooHoo! Stopped taking accutane TODAY!!!

Accutane cons:
-Dry lips, something no quantity of lip balm could fix
-Sore muscles, I work at a supermarket stacking shelves and that really suffered.
-Anxiety and depression
-Lack of concentration, trying to do exams at school made even harder.
-Flaky skin, no amount of mouisturiser would help me.
- Dry eyes, every time I walked outside my eyes would water and make it look like i'd bneen crying.
-Sleep problems
-Worse than B5 in every way

If anybody can tell me, how long does it take before the dry lips go away after stopping Accutane?

In other news I have started AcneScript due to the good reviews going on at the moment and the cheap-as-chips samples. It claims to reduce redness and that is exactly what I need right now.

Dude vilantae, b5 or whatever you used worked for you amazing. You should continue taking it.
If vitamin b5 working for you its much better than accutane. Good luck !

P.S dry lips from accutane will go away in 1-2weeks completely

I am taking B5 right now, 10 grams a day which I am happy with and should come into effect shortly.

Thanks for the tip about the lips. I can wait that long. That was how long they took to get dry in the first place so 1 - 2 weeks makes sense.

Thanks!

The thing about the lips isnt true at all. The drying effect accutane has lasts all the way until you stop taking it. Trust me, ive taken it three times. Im happy to see B5 is working for somebody else. Im taking 3 grams of B5 and 3.5 grams of L-Cysteine which is supposed to significantly lower the dosage of B5 you need because B5, L-Cysteine and ATP work together to form Co-Enzyme A. We get ATP easily from food and need to supplement with B5 and L-Cysteine. Ive only been takin it for 2 1/2 weeks and it definitely has worked better than accutane without the shitty side effects.

I was asking about how long they take after you come off accutane, which is this case was spot on.

Im taking 3 grams of B5 and 3.5 grams of L-Cysteine which is supposed to significantly lower the dosage of B5 you need because B5, L-Cysteine and ATP work together to form Co-Enzyme A. We get ATP easily from food and need to supplement with B5 and L-Cysteine. Ive only been takin it for 2 1/2 weeks and it definitely has worked better than accutane without the shitty side effects.

There was a bit of chat about cysteine earlier in this thread and it was interesting. I have not tried it fistly because it is expensive and secondly because there was nobody else who had tried it successfully on the forums.

Now that you have claimed success, it might be a good idea for me to try it!

Thanks!

In other news my skin is improving.. just not drastically. at least I'm not getting mega huge cluster breakouts anymore. Just bits and pieces around my face.

Clearing up again - what a surprise!

There is only one major active form of acne on my face, and that's just a cyst which is going away now...and there's also one inside my ear... I expect after they go away I will start AHA+ again (broke me out previously) to solve some major hyperpigmentation issues.

So yeah. Try B5. Just do it. Right now. No kidding. Also AcneScript. That's good too.

Hi g-town i have been reading all your posts so far.

I am currently waiting on vilantae,
i have been a acne sufferer for over 6 years now and i am so fed up with life, im depressed and embarresed to do anything these days. My acne isnt severe but i have around 10-15 pimples all over my face. These pimples are not large but all whiteheads. there so annoying. my face is flaky and red. Ihave oily skin as well. i am currently using benzac ac wash and then a toner then benzac ac gel 5% then moistorise. This regime does help with existing pimples but does not stop pimples from forming again.
So if you have any tips for me, do you think vilantae will work with me?

Hope to hear from you soon

I tried B5 but it didn't work for me... and I find the dosage ridiculous in itself... :?
