Jimmy, The Netherlands,Herten Aug 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: My acne is dissapearing with the day!! Cons: The only con i can think about is that you have to take alot of pills. But hey if you wanna get rid of your acne than it is worth it! Bottom Line: I learned that vitamine b5 was a ''cure'' when i read the reviews from this and other websites. So i wen to a vitamine store and got the brand of the store. I didn't had any of the side effects(not yet anyway). In a few days no new pimpels where coming. Except the old ones i knew were coming came out. They dissapeard rather quickly. So people when you're thinking about taking the risk then do it. It is worth it!!! Recommended: Yes Usage: Jimmy has used this item for about a week.

Nosillam, Toronto Jul 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Way less oiliness, fewer whiteheads & blackheads, absolutely no pimples. Worked FAST for me. Worth trying! Cons: -First day I took it several new cystic pimples sprouted, and I never get them, but they disappeared within 2-3 days more. I think my skin was just getting used to the b5 -I can see how this could get pretty expensive -makes me pee a lot Bottom Line: I have been taking about 5 g a day of this (the brand Organika) for the past week and my whiteheads (biggest problem) have all but disappeared, my face is way less shiny during the day, and I have zero pimples. I will update perhaps a month down the line. Sadly my scars still remain, I'll figure out something to do about that. P.s., I think it's worth mentioning that my friend who told me about this said that it's not true that the time released pills don't work. She only ever took the time released ones and they cleared up her acne too. Recommended: Yes Usage: Nosillam has used this item for about a week.

theugly1, France Jul 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Very good results until now (3 weeks). Cons: So many pills to take... I feel like a drug addict. I even hide from others when it's time to take the pills ! Would be easier if I could smoke pantothenic acid ;) Bottom Line: Less oily skin ! Almost acne-free !! I've been taking them for 3 weeks now. I broke out two days after starting with 1-2g/day. I got cystic acne, kind of acne I don't have usually. But I kept on and raised the dosage slowly to 9g. Today, the big pimples are allmost gone, there are still scars, but I also take 100mg of Zinc every day so they should be gone in a week. I take an auto-portrait every 2/3 days, so I really see the difference ! Recommended: Yes Usage: theugly1 has used this item for a few weeks.

Anonymous, England Jul 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cheap & it works great. Cons: None. Bottom Line: After 2 courses of Accutane, my face started getting oily again and my acne was starting to return. At 28 this obviously sucked, but i didn't want to go on Tane for another 4-6 months. I gave B5 a try, and it keeps my face oil free just like the Tane did. I don't take the megadose amounts either, i use the 500mg time released ones. I take one with breakfast, one mid afternoon & one before i go to bed. That's it.

zoelle, new york, NY Jul 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: i only take 2 grams a day, so it is easy to take. (4 pills, two in AM, two in PM) Cons: nothing Bottom Line: i bought B in 500mg. 500mg+500mg=1000mg =1gram. so i take 2 pills, one gram, in the morning after breakfast & again at night after dinner or sometimes after mid day snack. it's pretty convenient. no side effects, no stomach weirdness or anything. i take B complex & antioxidant once every few days or when i remember. i also take 25mg of zinc with the B5 once or twice a day. it's super small, so it's easy too. i have been washing my face with eucerin gentle cleanser, then i use burt's bees herbal blemish stick all over my face & then i use an oil free moisturizer. my face had not been this clear for this long without anitbiotics & accutane. i feel happy & myself. i'll never take any antibiotics or crazy meds like accutane ever again.

Anonymous, Orange County, USA Jul 12th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: -Easy To Do -No Breakouts Cons: -Expensive, Did Not Reduce Oily Skin -Potentially Harmful To The Liver -Unknown Long Term Effects Bottom Line: I gave up after a week +. The reason is because the excessive amount 10g is way too much for my taste. I had read that taking such a megadose could **** up your liver. I did not think it was worth it, and I only wanted to do it for the oily skin that I have. At the moment, I'm using Concha Nacar Bleach Cream which seems to keep my oily skin at bay. You should definitely research this method as much as possible and willing to face the potential side effects. I'm just sticking to fish oil, b-complex, and zinc. It's a lot safer method to combating my oiliness. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful?

evan, PA Jun 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: greatly reduces OIL!!!! shrinks pores Cons: my eyes get red and ive heard there are some long term bad effects Bottom Line: ive researched this alot and all i have to say is try it. Its way safer than accutane. I also didnt megadose like your supposed to i took 5 grams for 2 months then 3 grams then now im down to .5 grams a day and it still works. I stopped for a couple of weeks and boom oily face and acne came back. So basically try it folks. Its called PANTOTHENIC ACID at the stores Usage: evan has used this item for about a year.

july, Singapore Jun 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: REALLY CONTROL OIL PRODUCTION! Cons: capsule is difficult to swallow and have to swallow a lot a day. powder form is not very tasty. but really small price to pay for such a big result. Bottom Line: I used to have so oily a face that I will have a thick film of oil 10 min after washing. I often have break out as well, bad acne and some cystic acne. I went to a dermatologist and she prescript me with antibiotics and accutane. my face was immediately cleared. I still maintain accutane for a year and it kept my oil production in check. after I stopped accutane due to hair loss, the oil came straight back. (the acne didnt). I went back to my usually depressed mode. but luckily B5 helped me, it really worked! I cant say it's as good as accutane, but accutane cant acommpany you for life, B5 can. It dont work on everyone but about 90% it's really worth it to try. I have done a lot of research on oil reduction, and 1. accutane. 2. vit B5. others dont come close to this 2. dont listen to those who scream dont try, they say it cos they are angry it didnt work on them, or they give up too fast. It took me 1 month to see effect. you nv know unless you try and maintain. Recommended: Yes Usage: july has used this item for a few months.

Khanna, Jersey City,NJ Jun 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: -Makes your face less oily.This is the biggest plus. -Less breakouts too,i feel. -Cleaner feel on the face. Cons: -People have been mentioning of hair thinning and hair loss.I am not so sure..i feel that my hair is thinning a bit...but its also possible that i am merely imagining. -Initial side effects Bottom Line: Its a plus.Wouldn't recommend overdosing.I started with 5grams and have weaned off to 3 to 3.5 grams/day.I feel it works just as good. My face was like an oil field earlier.Used to regularly use a soft tissue to wipe the oil off--needless to say,the tissue would be splotched with oil.Now,i dont even wipe my face...maybe once in a day. It may make your face a bit flaky...but it will reduce gradually.Have been on this for about 18 days now. I also take one B-Complex every couple of days.
