Pros Much less oily already! I can work a 9 hour shift and my face is still not shiny! I have only been taking for a week and am only up to 7 grams now but it seems to be working. Old pimples are slowly clearing and not many new ones coming up.
Cons nothing yet. the first time i tried B5 i got diarrhea, but not this time.
Bottom line I didn't want to try it because it's so expensive to get all those pills but then i found Puritan's Pride...they sell 100 count bottles of 500 mg B5 for $3.27!! So a whole month's worth only costs me 20 bucks, and their shipping is cheap too.

I will update again once I have used the stuff for a few months, but good results thus far.

Pros seems to be working. helps me drink more water.
Cons none
Bottom line I've been taking 20 pills a day for about 2 1/2 weeks, and it seems to be working. I haven't really gotten any new pimples, it's just taking a while for the old ones to clear up. I've had pretty bad acne for about 7 years, and this is definitely better than anything else I;ve tried.I only have a few pimples right now, the rest of my face is just healing, but it looks way better! i noticed results after the 1st week. I'll post back when my acne completey clears up!!! i have faith that it will!

Pros clears skin fast
Cons loose stool
Bottom line It works. Im tired of hearing people hate on it for the 20 pill thing. Acne is much worse than taking 20 pills a day. Also take i twith lots of vitaim C. 8000mg per day (C helps heal) both are water solluible so they are safe to take in mega doses. Try it. Worth the results.

Pros EVERYTHING!
Cons gas and diahrrea when you first start taking it
Bottom line Bottom Line: This stuff changed my life! If I could be a spokesperson for Vitamin B5,(Pantothenic Acid) I would do it for free! If you faithfully stick to the program (which I know can be hard), I promise you it will work! I struggled with acne for 7 years and have tried everything! This, along with topical use of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar before bedtime, has dramatically turned my skin around. It has taken 4-5 months, but be patient. You will so happy with the results!

Pros Lessened oil production a lot. Face and body are clear. A few zits left, but not very large/inflamed.
Cons Exspensive.

Pros really helps with the oily skin
Cons none
Bottom line I have been taking B5 for 2 weeks now, and I have seen a difference in my skin already. I only have mild acne, so I take 3 grams a day (6/500 mg pills). At first I started with only 2 grams for the first week, but then I noticed the oily skin was still the same, so Idecided to increase to 3 grams. It really works.

Pros Reduces oil, gets rid of acne
Cons none
Bottom line I began taking Skin B5 time release tablets two months ago. My skin is clearer then it has ever been, less oily, and I no longer need to use topical treatments. I just take three pills a day: morning and night, and once at dinner. I am very happy that I don't have to worry about my complexion anymore.

Pros It's inexpensive, but if you buy it online like what i do, the shipping and handling fees can become a pain.
Cons Made me go to the bathroom a lot! Didn't really notice any results.
Bottom line I do not recommend this. I was currently taking Vilantae for 4 months and i have not seen results. I followed directions exactly too. The only thing i noticed was that i had to go to the bathroom like 5 times a day lol. I stopped taking it about a week ago and my face is doing much better! Now i'm just using proactiv solution and eating more fruits and vegetables. So...if you are an acne sufferer, i am sorry. But please don't risk your health taking pills found on the internet. Just use good topical products and eat a healthy, balanced diet. Good luck!
