| Pros | Reduced oily skin and breakouts. Faster wound resolution ? |
|---|---|
| Cons | none so far |
| Bottom line | Initially I bought the B-complex to boost my energy levels/ to counter fatigue and depression. For the past year I noticed an increase in cystic acne and oily skin-- I've never had skin like that, and I'm 22. I just realized a few weeks ago that it's probably a result of my contraceptive (Depo Provera) which I started around the same time. I was pleasantly surprised that my skin improved with this complex-- if the bad acne can be controlled with this cheap treatment then I don't have to find an alternative contraceptive like I feared. I feel like my immune system has been boosted because I'm healing noticeably faster. I got really lucky stumbling onto these benefits. :) |

| Pros | 1. It makes you run when you wanna walk. 2. Evens out the complexion. 3. Helps in skin repair. |
|---|---|
| Cons | ACNE!! WORSE ACNE!! and MORE ACNE!!! |
| Bottom line | This product turned out to be a nightmare for my facial skin. It was prescribed by my orthopedic surgeon for plantar fascitis and helped me with the muscle strenthening and all. But it gave the worst break outs ever. It completely made my face erupt with cysts, pustules whiteheads, especially concentrated on the jawline area. |

| Pros | Had B5 in it |
|---|---|
| Cons | Has B6 and B 12 which apparently cause acne. |
| Bottom line | I bought a B50 Complex 2 days ago without reading about it, and today I googled and I have found that the high amounts of B6 and B12 will cause acne to flare up. Thank god I read this post before I had been taking it for a week or 2, I'm lucky I've only taken about 3-4 pills and now I have to throw the bottle out. Waste of my money, I should have researched it first, but I couldn't find B5 on the shelf and I thought B-Complex would be OK. WRONG. Google the effects of B6 and B12 on acne before you buy the product. I didn't break out or anything but I hope the 4 pills I took won't have a bad effect tomorrow. I am STOPPING these pills and am pissed that I wasted $20.00. |

| Pros | none |
|---|---|
| Cons | CAUSES acne |
| Bottom line | I never had a problem with acne throughout my life until about the last 10 months. That was when I started taking this stuff everyday to help with energy as I am a weightlifter and needed an extra boost ever since I've been getting too tired after my 9-5 dayjob. I started getting acne suddenly as if I was some high school kid with hormone problems and I'm in my mid 20's. Wish I made the connection earlier for what was causing my acne. Apparently there are a lot of studies out there that prove vitamin bcomplex (especially b6, b12, and biotin) CAUSE acne and DOES NOT remedy it (google it to see for yourself). I find it ironic I stumbled upon this site seeing people trying to treat acne with this unnecessary junk. The average diet is loaded with b's, you don't need 1333% more of them all, hence why your body will constantly flush this stuff out of your system and you'll notice having strange neon colored urine. I've noticed most of the positive reviews for this are from new users. In the long run this will make your acne gradually worse and you'll have to wait even more months to get back to normal. |

| Pros | Made me feel happy More Energy Gave me a glow |
|---|---|
| Cons | I break it in half and it scratches the hell outta my throat |
| Bottom line | I'm really glad I started taking a B complex..I've noticed many positive things. I suggest trying it:) I didn't think I'd notice such a dramatic difference in how I feel but I can tell when I forget to take it. It made my skin much healthier looking. |

| Pros | For me, helped with eczema, energy level, and some improvement in acne. |
|---|---|
| Cons | If I take it too late in the day I can't sleep at night and sometimes I think it makes me jittery. |
| Bottom line | I have severe acne as well as eczema. A naturopath prescribed a "stress complex" B vitamin for me focusing on B5 and B12. I took it in the morning, double the normal dose. It worked wonders for my mood, my energy level, and my eczema. Although we hadn't discussed my acne at all, I also saw moderate improvement in my acne. I was on a major water-drinking program at the same time. However, I've upped my water intake at other times with less dramatic results. |

| Pros | More energy, more happy. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I think if does nothing on my skin/acne. |
| Bottom line | I bought a bottle of b-50 complex at the GNC here in the Philippines. 100 tablets, good for 3 months. Finished the bottle and I haven't seen any changes changes on my skin since I started adding it to my regimen. I was taking zinc and vitamin c before I started taking b-complex. |

| Bottom line | Be careful if you are a woman w/hormonal breakouts. B-complex made me breakout and also made me anxious. I didn't like the way it made me feel and was especially bothered by the affect on my skin. |

| Pros | Gives you energy, helps with depression |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smelly pills, don't think it really does anything for the skin |
| Bottom line | I don't think it did anything for my skin but it does give you energy so you aren't so tired. I am on a small dose at 50mg. I don't think it did anything for skin but I am also taking other pills. I take it for energy and it works. I may try a b-75 complex next time. If your body doesn't need it, it's expelled through urine (it'll be bright yellow) and make sure you drink water as the yellowish urine may mean you are dehydrated Just one warning:Don't take it before you go to bed |
