want2bpretty, Jersey City May 16th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Skin is less oily and its slowly clearing up. Cons: lots of pills to take Bottom Line: I started on 4/5/08, and vitaminshoppe is the cheapest place, especially when they have their buy one get the second one half off. I am trying really hard to take twenty pills a day-5 pills 4x a day, thats the only hard part. I've tried to take five before eating to see if it would effect my stomach differently but it hasn't. You may experience some extra bowel movement when your body is adjusting to the pills. Other than that it is GREAT! I've had acne for over 15 years, and while it wasnt severe it was bad enough were people would make fun of me behind my back. When you first start the regime, you breaks you out, but remember it has to get worse before it gets better. I am also taking B complex , vitamin E, Zinc, Flax Seed, Vitamin C and Iron. Take the the vitamin c and iron together and 1/2 hour separately. I also went to the Natural Food store and got an internal scrub. Also before I started the I got a colonic ( went two times). So there you Recommended: Yes Usage: want2bpretty has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 18.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Victoria, Florida May 11th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Reduces oily skin Cons: Amount of pills, Constant bowels. Bottom Line: I've only been taking Vilantae B5 for about a week. I started out taking the maximum dosage. I take 5 pills 4 times a day for a total of 20 pills a day. I have very oily skin and already I have began to notice a reduction in the oil in my skin. My acne has also began to subside. I'll post in 3 more weeks to keep you guys posted on my success. Recommended: Yes Usage: Victoria has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 50.00 Was this comment helpful?

J, V May 3rd, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Balances skin oil, acne clears Cons: A lot of pills to swallow at first Bottom Line: I have been on B5 for 2.5 years. I spoke to my doctor about it recently and he says B5 is SAFE! My GI doctor says that herbs can cause gastrointestinal problems... so make sure you know all of the ingredients in the pills you are taking! In the last two years I have stopped B5 use twice... both times my skin was oily and broken out horribly... so I keep going back...last time I was down to 3 500 mg. a day and maintaining clear skin.

Rex, London Apr 28th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Don't know yet Cons: Don't know yet Bottom Line: Just discovered these reviews so at the weekend I went and bought 100 500mg timed release B5 tablets, 50 Vitamin B complex and 100 multi vits. Having read all the reviews on here I though I would try out my own regime. I have suffered from acne since about 15 and I'm 31 now. I don't get that many spots but they're still unsightly and I don't like having a spotty back and chest, especially when getting naked with a girl for the first time... I'm a bit worried about the side effects - hair loss etc and also if you take a massive dose all the time that acne will be a lot worse when you stop. What I'm doing is having 2X 500mg in the morning with a B complx, and 2X 500mg in the evening with the multi vit. What I am hoping is I can gradually find my doseage without shocking my system too much. I'm going to do a week at this level and then see if anything has happened. Fingers crossed. :) Recommended: Yes Usage: Rex has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 30.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Lexie, CA Mar 28th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It seems to be working! I have had no side effects yet!!! Cons: My face is breaking out worse. It tastes horrible but its worth is for clear skin Bottom Line: I have been taking the vitamin b5 powder for about a week and a half. I have actually been breaking out more but it finally seems like its working. It makes sense if you break out in the beginning cause its taking all the bad stuff out. I have been taking about 7 grams a day. I actually mixed the powder and some water and apply it to my face as an ointment. It seems to really soothe it! Ill keep you updated!

Lucas, Miami, USA Mar 17th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Quick, easy and it works! Cons: None Bottom Line: Into my 6th week of taking SkinB5 tablets and the results have been much better than expected. I was taking a different B5 brand for about 2 years, but I got sick of taking 20 pills a day, so I decided to try, SkinB5's Time Release Tablets. The results have blown me away. A must try for every person with stubborn acne! Recommended: Yes Usage: Lucas has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 29.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Pam, New Jersey Mar 10th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Regulates oily skin overnight. Cons: You have to take a lot of pills Bottom Line: I took 4 B5 capsules and 1 vitamin A and I could see a noticeable difference in the oiliness of my skin the very next day. I have VERY oily skin. So bad that I my face would look wet all day long. So it was very easy to notice the difference. I actually have a habit of wiping my face to remove the oil, and I went to do that yesterday and noticed that there was no oil there. My husband even noticed the difference. My goal is to control the oiliness, not to cure acne. I am currently using Retin-A at night and Duac benzoyyl peroxide cream in the morning and it controls my acne pretty well. But they did nothing for the oiliness. Bottom line, B5 works!!! Recommended: Yes Usage: Pam has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 10.00 Was this comment helpful?

Caroline, Texas Mar 5th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works GREAT for sufferers of oily skin. works like Accutane only without side effects. Cons: Taking alot of pills everyday. Bottom Line: I love my skin now! I feel normal and enjoy puting a little make-up on and am no longer embarassed to be out in public. My pores are noticablly smaller and I am no longer dripping oil! My skin looks good all day without having to wash it over and over to feel clean. I had used EVERYTHING else. If I lower my dosage too much, I will start breaking out, but definitely not worse than before. I am in my 40s. It did not work for my teen age son, he still broke out, but he doesn't have oily skin. Sarsparilla helps him(helps control those teen boy hormones) Recommended: Yes Price Paid: 40.00 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
