| Pros | No more large pores. No more rough skin. No more pimples. No more oily skin. :-) |
|---|---|
| Cons | No more hair. :-( |
| Bottom line | If you love your face more than your hair then try it. I tried using accutane last year but I stopped because of the major side effects that I encountered. I switched to B5 because of the great reviews I read about it and it's safer than accutane because it's wate-soluble. By using B5 for almost 2 months, my face was %100 clear but I notice that my hairs were becoming brittle and around 100 hairs are falling from my head everyday. So again, what do you want %100 clear skin or 100 hair falling from your head each day. |

| Pros | Energy and general wellbeing reduced redness |
|---|---|
| Cons | Hard to source in large amounts in nz |
| Bottom line | I have only just started taking so will be back each week to see how it goes - I have very oily skin and moderate acne around chin. Would love for this to work - have ordered larger quantities from overseas as can only buy 60 tabs at a time in nz which at 10 grams would only last three days for $30! Hopefully they will not take long to arrive or I will we be spending afirtune to fill in the gaps. |

| Pros | Haven't continued use but effects have lasted. Was on very small dose compared to some contributors here |
|---|---|
| Cons | Easiest place to buy in UK is Holland & Barrett but is rather expensive |
| Bottom line | I took 1 gram tablet a day for 6 months. That was about a year ago now and my acne has not yet come back with any force. I am feeling somewhat oily again but probably due to heating indoors as winter starts - when I get pimples now thy aren't those deep canal under the skin cyst type monsters. TRY IT! It is far better than any topical or serious chemical drug I have ever used. |

| Pros | - oily skin reduced thus acne slightly reduced |
|---|---|
| Cons | - taking 5 pills 4 times a day - relatively costly since it builds on top of the daily skincare regime. |
| Bottom line | - Paid $70 every 2 months that excluded P&H If oily skin is the cause of your acne, this should work. I think it does what it says - which is reduce the oil production on the skin. Whether or not that reduces acne is dependent on the participant's skin. It reduced my acne occurrence but as mentioned, I dont think oily skin is the only attribution towards acne. Try it if you have oily skin. Take this with a good cleanser/toner/moisturizer regime. This can be quite costly since it builds on top of your daily skincare. |

| Pros | smaller pores, 95% clear within 7 days |
|---|---|
| Cons | cost, amount of vitamins, some hair thinning, initial breakout |
| Bottom line | I've only been taking B5 at 10mg regularly for 2 weeks, so I don't expect a miracle yet. I have cystic and nodular acne and within 7 days I saw a 95% improvement of my skin. Literally, I only had one pimple. However in the last 3-4 days I am going through another breakout... notably less severe than I've had in the past. I suppose I'm starting my period soon and it will take time for the B5 to work. I also take 50mg of zinc, 4 B complex vitamins, 2 garlic capsules, and 500mg niacinimide per day; and acidolphilus and biotin between meals. |

| Pros | Works great. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Minor cons for me |
| Bottom line | Hi Morning, I personally don't find brand to matter, I used used various brands over the past 5 years. I do think powder works the best. I am actually trying time released as an experiment so I don't need to take powder, but I would recommend the powder if capsules or pill form doesn't work. I have even quit using b-5 a few times in the last few years for only short periods of time, like a week or 2 and had bad breakouts, so I know the B5 works amazing for me. Best of luck.. |

| Pros | Works very well at clearing skin. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Need to use the bathroom alot, but a small price to pay. |
| Bottom line | I am 32 years old and have had chronic acne since I was 14. I have taken Accutane a few times and a number of other medications, every one was a failure and nothing gave me any consistency. I actually tried B5 when I was 25, not knowing what it was for a month and found it useless. I took a capsule form of it. A few years later I read up on it again, not knowing that the thing I tried earlier called pantothenic acid was actually B5. I ordered it in powder form. I finished my last course of accutane when I was 27 and still had some acne and knew it would come back once I stopped accutane, so I started taking B5 powder for the past 5 years now. I have had no side effects and have lived a normal life since, unlike the torture I was put through the previous 15 years. Its the only thing that ever worked and worked well. If you have tried B5 capsules without success I recommend using the powder form. It tastes horrible but works great. Zinc cream is the best topical I would recommend as well |
