1. Did you oil reduce? And if so, by how much?
2. How long did it take you before you noticed an improvement?
3. What were some of your side-effects.
4. What was your dosage when you started and what is it right now?
5. How long do you plan on taking it?


Thanks.

1. Yes, by a moderate amount. I stay with no oil for about 5-6 hours, then a slight amount comes. But it is never enough to make my face look like an oil slick anymore. Just a slight shine.

2. About 2 weeks and the improvments keep coming.

3. No side-effects for me, I guess I was lucky.

4. First the bottles arrived at my house, I took 5 pills that night(510mg each), next day took 10 pills, next day i took 15, and the 4th day I took the full dose of 20. I reached the full recommended does rather quickly, but I didnt want to wait any longer to begin with it. So day 1(2.5gr), day 2(5gr), day 3(7.5gr), and day 4(10gr)

5. For 3-4 months I will continue 10gr a day, then lower the dosage as needed. To continue forever... lol.

I had an initial breakout too, and at a place which is pretty clear most of the time... my neck. Forgot to mention that in my first post. But it did get alot better shortly after.

Ive been taking B5 for about 4-5 weeks. I have been at 10 grams a day(20 pills) for about 2 of them. Im seeing absoultly no results. Im getting whiteheads more than ever. I dont really notice the B5 doing anything. Maybe I need to stick it out longer, Im not sure.

I take 5 500mg B5 in the morning before work, 5 at lunch with a b-125 complex, 5 after work at dinner, and 5 at bed with another complex. Been doing that for about 2-3 weeks. I started off at 10 pills a day for a week, then 15 for a week, now Im at 20 a day. Hopefully it does something soon, cuz it just seems to be pointless for me. We'll see.

Actually no, thats why I was kinda sceptical if it would work or not. The only part of my face that produces a lot (which isnt much) of oil is my forehead, which has no acne at all. My chin, jawline, neck and back are the only parts that are really broken out.

[netring]

i havent done b5 but i think b5 helps people that have oil as the biggest factor to their acne. This is my case, so i think it will work.

I forgot, what were the other factors to acne?

[karnifecks]

Other factors are usually bacteria and thats about it. The oil glands produce "food" for the P. acnes bacteria to feed off of. So if the oil production is seized then the bacteria has nothing to feed off of. Accutane does the same thing, but much stronger because its controlled vitamin A poisoning. The reason for this is because certain forms of Vitamin A attach to your fat cells, which Accutane does. Therefor it speeds up the process and makes it much more powerful. Vitamin B is water solluble so the excess B vitamins are flushed out when you urinate.

Im thinking of going on Accutane cuz Ive tried sooooo many different things. Was on Anti-Biotics for a year or so... tried all sorts of topicals, have done the Clearlight treatments, B5 and nothing. My acne has never been this bad in my life. Im 20, almost 21 and I never had acne (this bad) until about the middle to the end of 2005. Im wondering if I have adult onset, or whats going on... either way Im really sick of it and Accutane is calling my name even though it terrifies me. What worries me is if the B5 isnt working, will the accutane? I mean they both work on the same principal, cut down oil production...

that's my case also... so i think it will work for me as well. cos when i took accutane, i never had an initial break out, my face started to clear up right away.

[Dingo Jellybean]

I had large pores and oily skin. I took 2g/day for 3 days, then went to 5g/day for 1 month. The past 2 months I took 6g/day which good, but not impressive results.

It did reduce the size of my pores, and my oil production did go down...but not by much. I don't think B5 is the answer for me...20 pills a day is too much.

The side effects I had were like, concentration problems.

I will say this though, those who had B5 not work for them should consider a candida diet/treatment. It's doing wonders for me.

Could you explain what that is? Thanks.

[gogetter]

I was taking 10 grams of B5 per day and within three months I was 99.9% clear. Unfortunatly for me I stopped taking it and within a month my acne came back worse that it was before. I am back on it now and have been for the past four weeks. I am just hoping I get the same results that I had before I stopped the first time.

[mikewilliams1]

my side effects are SEVERELY dry skin...I FUCKING HATE THAT...

[Mman]

My skin got worse the 2nd day and then got better the 3rd and 4th days and so on after that.
My oil was reduced by a fair amount...now my face is fairly dry.
No side effects yet that I know of...maybe loss of energy, but I just started so I'm not sure if B5 is to blame.
I started at 3-4 grams for the first 3 days, now I'm at 6. Its only been like a week but it's working miracles already.
I plan on staying on it for 3-4 months and then seeing what happens.

[Andrewski]

This site has like a billion testimonials on how b5 works for them. I think I'm going to try it.
