bUT DUBOIUS ABOUT HOW IT WORKS... sCARED OF SIDE EFFECTS
Amy from England

I get those awful under-the-skin red lumps that really hurt, often on my chin and forehead. I started taking a vitamin B suppliment (as well as a vitamin E one) every day, starting from about March 2005 until present. At first it worked really well and my skin cleared up in no time, but in the last two months or so the spots have started to come back again. Ah well, the search continues...

Don't listen to the comments about people who have said it "Doesn't Work" or it "Harms your body", when this could turn you off the a cure for acne that works most of the time. The side effects are well documented, and not very severe. One person claimed it caused "Arthritis", which is completely untrue and impossible. B5 is WATER SOLUBLE, meaning that you cannot overdose as your body only takes what it needs and lets the rest out through digestion. B5 has worked for me, and not only gets rid of acne but really changes your skin texture from the inside out, shrinking pores and eliminating acne. Great stuff, but a tad expensive. If you go with B5, go with 10 grams a day. It can't hurt you, and if you take less, there is a good chance it won't work.

I've been using 1000mg time-release B5 for about 3 weeks now, started with 2 a day then increased it to 3 a day. My skin was VERY OILY and is less now but I think I'll keep with it 3 times a day for a while. No noticeable side-effects for me.I was hoping for more dramatic effects, but maybe over time the oil geysers on my face will dry up more. I hope so! I'm a 41 year old female and have had the greasies since I was around 13. I've paid my dues to the sebum Gods for sure!

To all the girls taking Vit A with their B5. BE CAREFUL!!!! Vit A in doses over a certain amount (it's a low amount) has been linked to BIRTH DEFECTS in women who become pregnant while taking. Even if you are not planning on becoming pregnant; "surprises" happen (especially in OKLA). We have a wonderful child with special needs in our family, but we don't know the cause (I am not implying that it had to do with vitamins - we just don't know). However, being informed of all the risks of ANYTHING you put in your body (even "natural" things is so important! Be CAREFUL and good luck!

B5 has worked wonders for my skin. I had been on antibiotics but they stopped working and my skin just kept getting worse and worse. I was ready to go on accutane but I decided to give B5 a chance first. I'm so happy I did! My skin is almost completely clear most of the time with maybe two or three really really small breakouts (I've been taking it for 2 months now). I can't wait for all these red spots to heal from past blemishes so that I don't have to wear concealer anymore! Definitely give it a try.

I take a B-complex supplement once a day and I'm happy with it (B5 at 50 mg, 500 %RDA). You must take the complex with a meal or it won't be absorbed and you'll just pee it out in bright yellow. I've also read that it shouldn't be taken alone in high doses; 'something about the body needing other vitamins to work in conjuction with it. (Don't quote me on that). I recall seeing in the forums a reference to a study that showed 100% RDA spread throughout the day works as well as it can for acne. A generic, store brand is inexpensive. I use Kroger brand, but it doesn't have a nice coating on it to prevent the nasty taste in the mouth as you take it. The body needs the other B vitamins too, so I think, "why not just get it with the rest of the complex?"

I've been using Vitamin B5 500mg for 2 and a half weeks now, I can see a slight difference in the number of breakouts I get everyday.I'm taking 1 5mg tablet a day with breakfast.I visited the local nurse who wasn't really aware of the "Vitamin B5" theory that is used now to treat acne, I told her and she said that the recommended (RDA)daily allowance is 1 tablet, as taking more then that could be dangerous. I think that this is true as I have been researching B5 on the internet and it's states that side effects such as arthritis, fatigue, low energy levels and generally being tierd.I've been reading the threads from some people who have been taking 10 tabs a day which to me seems highly dangerous as ingesting such high doses of a B- Vitamin must have dangerous side effects.
