Vitamin B5 Reviews

I'd been suffering acne for the longest time because of my oily face. I tried different products whatever I can find here in the Philippines, from Neutrogena, Clearasil, Loreal, etc... They all sucks!!! Finally B5, first I was hesitant to try this, because from what I read, you need to megadose to get results, and megadosing does'nt sound good. Eventually, I tried it. I was'nt able to use my mom's Master Card to purchase any B5 in the internet, so I decided to buy GNC 500mg B5 100 capsules which we had here in the Philippines. I started taking 2g a day, 1g in the morning and in the evening. My acne is mild to moderate, that's why I dnt need to megadose the vitamin. Im on my 3rd month now and 99% clear and currently taking 1g a day for maintenance. All I can say, B5 really works!!!

I have been using Vitamin B5 for about ine week now and there is a big difference in my skin and the breakouts i used to get. I started with 1 capsule a day it is 250mg. My skin looks great and the breakouts that I had are gone. It is not expensive you can purchase a bottle of 90 tablets for $9.00 at the natural food store. I take it every morning with my breakfast. I have had no side effects whatsoever. also I have had severe acne for the last 14 years so this is a great relief for me. I consulted with a naturopath at the nutrition house who told me that i tablet a day would be suffient. If you don't want to take accutane then I suggest this vitamin. For the ladies if you tend to break out more during your monthly cycle then One week before double the dose of B5 to 500mg per day. thumbs up for the next best thing since accutane

after 3 weeks of using this product i can honestly say its GREAT!..i have had no side effects, and the results are great i use it in conjuction with coldfusion pack, glycolic and salicilic gel or something or other and benzoyle peroxide. Its great, at the end of the day it is a high dosage yes but if your body needs it it will use it the rest wil be got rid of by peeing it out..it also is great for your hair and nails 2. so it has other benefits 2,,,,i dont think anyone should be put off by the dosage, its been researched. They wouldnt be able to sell it if it caused health problems. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS.

B5 really does work. I can't believe what this stuff has done for me... I have only been taking it for about 2 weeks now but I have seen a huge improvement! I take 5 pills, 4 times a day. 20 pills total. Sounds like a lot but it's not that bad. I have been using Vilantae, which can be found here: [link removed]>
I have also been doing Dan's "Clear Skin Regimen" but only at night. I don't want to walk around during the day with benzoyl peroxide on my face.

I think it is safe to say that B5 has been the root to my sucess with clear skin, but I also think that doing the Clear Skin Regimen at night has helped to speed up the process. I am very happy I found this site and decided to try this stuff.

B5 is simply amazing, I would recommend it to anyone who is suffering with acne!

Well, I was taken the Vilantae B5 vitamins for 2 moths, than I run out of vitamins and I stopped for 1 month. O god!! You can clearly see the difference! My skin was VERY oily during the month that I was not using it. I don't really know if it cleares your acne, but it surely gets rid of the access oil.

I tried vitamin B5 for 2 months;; and I'm now in the stage of giving out. First of all, I really don't feel it's healthy to take 20 capsules a day...but with the hope of clearing out my skin, I had decided to give it a try. Now, I'm really regret.

My pores have tighten within 1-2 weeks, but my acne have changed from little spots over the face to big breakouts in the bottom part of my mouth, face, and over my neck. It even caused cracks in the corner of my mouth...

Personally, I believe that acne problems is not only a problem of the lack of coenzyme A (as mentionned in the vitamin B5 treatment theory). It has to do with hormones imbalance cause by a lot of facts, such as stress, toxins in the body, as well as bad liver and immune system conditions. I recomaend that anyone with acne problems should find out what is the major cause of their hormones imbalance, and find remedies to treat the specific problems. I know that it's not easy to know what exactly cause our acne (since doctors do not know neither, or they gave a bunch of "general anwsers"); but we should keep searching.

Recently, I went to a chinese therapist, who claimed that my liver and stomach are not working properly; and the toxins in my body do not get. This is the major reason why I have acne. I now go to her clinique for a chinese type massage that could help me to detoxify. I'm also searching for good detoxification products that will complement with the treatment. If anyone of you know any good detox or liver health products, please let me know.

Doesn't work for me. I understand that it works wonders for some, but for the rest...too bad. I've had high hopes for this treatment to find something that will work just as well as Dan's Regimen has been doing for me, but I guess this just isn't the case. It did nothing for my acne, popping 20 pills a day (500 mg) is just so inconvenient, and the price will make you empty out your wallet FAST. For those of you who are skeptical, you just might be right.

I have been taking Vilantae for 2 months - 20 capsules a day. No results. But I still plan to continue...

Just started, hope to see results soon. I did read somewhere online that you should take other B vitamins at a different time because they all compete for the same uptake receptor, thus preventing you from becoming insufficient in other B vitamins.

First of all...

Hello! There are message boards for asking questions people, don't do it at the product review page! Get a clue!

Ahem...Well I'm a longtime B5 user and just wanted to say that B5 works better than anything out there, period. I used NOW brand 500mg capsules for about a year, and now just use a daily time-release tablet for maintainence. I never needed more than 5 grams per day, and my results were very dramatic - going from years of bad acne to perfectly clear skin in about 2 months. None of the topical stuff worked for me (for very long anyways), but with B5 I didn't even need anything else. Only a daily wash and rinse with normal soap, and a multivitamin to balance it out. I recommended it to a friend and she had great results also.
