i took vilantae for 2 months and it SUCKS! it did nothing to reduce oil and just made me have diarhea all the time. my acne got much worse while taking this and i'll probly need accutane to recover.

i been taking vitamin b5 for almost a month now,to the moment i have seen a minimal reduction of oil on my face,i never had bad acne to begin with but my face was extremly oily.as of rite now i have 3 active pimples on my face which but seem to be going away.Im going to try b5 20 pills a day for another month.then decrease to maintance dose.also im going to try aloe vera 100% gel for acne scars and brown/purple spots i read that aloe is very effective for that.for the people that didn t see results from b5 i suggest trying another brand,as some brands have poor results.the brand actually matters a lot.currently im using solaray but im going to switch to solgar which i read is the best brand and high success [link removed] at this site u could compare brands and effectiveness.

I don't know if it will clear up my skin or not, since i just took my first dose of 2.5 grams, but i can say that 10 minutes after taking it, it made me extremely horny!!

I started using a product called CLEAR 5, which contains 100 capsules of 500mg B5 along with zinc and a few other ingredients available online for $14.95/bottle. This product worked very well. I usually am never without a pimple somewhere on my face (cystic type), but during the 1st month of using this product, my face went without a single pimple for the 1st time in my life! I'm in my late 30's and have been suffering from acne since about 20 yrs old. I wish I would have known to try B5 all those years ago, but better late than never. Anyone suffering from acne should at least try megadoses of B5 or try Clear 5 to see if you have as much success as I have experienced. I'll never go without this product again as it's made all the difference!

I wish I would have tried B5 earlier. I don't break out anymore and it's chnaged my life. I take 10g of B5 a day and have been for about a month now. It has worked wonders.

Everybody should try this. If you don't you are really short changing yourself, I just wish I knew about this earlier.

I still use Dan's BP gel, but I've been using less and less and eventually hope to discontinue all BP use.

10g B5 (2.5g dose, four times a day)
2g Gugulipids Extract (1g dose, twice a day)

I also take a B-Complex, Normal Daily Multivitamin, Biotin, and Vitamin C each day as well. I use Metazene (5% Niacinamide Gel) after I wash my face. This stuff has changed my life. TRY IT~!

I have been using this system for only about a week now, but it has improved my skin more in that week than perscription mediciations, facials, and antibiotcs did over a 6 month period. I will update this again after a month, but I wanted to add some positive feedback. I highly suggest at least trying it, especially in combination with a topical treatment if you're battling severe acne ... my self-esteem has really improved after using this!

I used the VitaCure B5 Clearskin Capsules. I stoppd using them after about two weeks because I was in hell while I was using them. They made me sick which made me very depressed. I missed school because this stuff was making me sick and my mum paid for it and I feel very bad now because I wasted over $100 of her money on this absolute crap. Think about it, we're buying something from the net. Who knows what dangerous things they could put into these capsules? Absolute waste of money and time. I don't recommend it.

this sh*t is horrible. didn't do a thing. it's extremely expensive and made my skin disgustingly dry. i broke out worse than i ever did on this stuff, and it never went away. DON'T USE IT!!!

You need to use high doses of B-5, or pantothenic acid (usually under pantothenic acid name). Its water soluable so you can't OD it and it wont really harm you. I started on 20 Grams a day, 5 grams 4 times a day, you have to divide it into 4 doses a day. At 1st I started having good results, I started last summer, and it was doing the trick, and I projected by christmas i'd be acne free. On christmas I had bad acne after a bad breakout, and a month later started accutane. This stuff started working, but after about a month, my body got used to it and it was completely innaffective. I had diahrea everyday the whole time I was on this stuff, and i urinated alot, this stuff really drains the water out of you when taking such high doses. It also made me alittle tired sometimes, but it didn't cause any side effects outside of that. Also, its expensive to take this stuff. Its over the counter for $12 a bottle. Now they only come in 500 mg pills, or 1000mg pills which is a gram. And bottles only come with 100 pills a bottle. So if you buy the 500 mg pills, to tke 20 Grams a day that would be 40 pills a day, and if you get 1000mg pills, that would be 20 pills a day. So the bottle only lasts 5 days, so thats $12 every 5 days. Luckily for me, when I was taking this stuff, they had buy 1 get 1 free of this stuff, so i paid $12 every 10 days, and this stuff didn't do the trick. Let alone I was taking 20 pills a day, 2 other vitamins, so 22 pills a day I was taking, 20 of them were B-5, and none of it helped. Im currently taking 3 pills a day, 2 accutane and 1 vitamin E, and very shortly I'll be taking 0 pills a day for acne.

This stuff works amazingly well! It got rid of my acne completely (really!) within two months. I use 1000mg capsules. I started 10g daily, and now I'm down to 5. I used 2.5% BP in the evenings only for a month to help it along, but now I just take B5 and wash/moisturize my face.
