| Pros | It has made my skin less oily and almost eliminated my acne on my back. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Lots of pills to take |
| Bottom line | If you don't mind taking a lot of pills this is the perfect cure. I take 3 pills four times each day and my back and chest acne is almost completely gone after only 2 weeks. I can't wait to go skinny dipping at Turtle Lake nudist resort in Michigan next summer to show off my new skin! |

| Pros | The first few days it gave me more energy, but that wore off |
|---|---|
| Cons | Taking so many tablets. As well I've been feeling more drowsy recently - although maybe that's cos I haven't been to the gym in a couple of weeks! |
| Bottom line | It hasn't done anything for my acne yet ! I've been on it for three weeks. One of the main reasons I want to stick with it is because it's supposed to reduce your pores as well and I've been struggling with open pores, which I think aggravate me more than acne ! But I've been trying M2 lotion ( 12%) for a couple of days and it seems to be super for my skin. |

| Pros | less oily skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | broke me out worst than EVER! |
| Bottom line | After reading all the great reviews about B-5 (especially for oily skin), I went and purchased the twin lab 500mg. I went with this product and stuck with it for close to 2 mths. I didn't mega-dose it because too much of anything is not good for your body. I took 6 grams a day spread through out the day, and you'd think after taking it for the time I did, I'd see SOME or even a SLIGHT improvement, but I didn't, it just made my acne SOOO WORSE. So bottom line, I'm not saying it doesn't work, but it's DEFINITELY NOT FOR ME! I feel like all the money I spent was just wasted. I found that Nature's Cure for Females did me better justice. |

| Pros | - Skin is less oily - Cystic acne has pretty much disappeared - Smaller pores |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Initial breakout especially around the jawline - Expensive |
| Bottom line | I have been taking Vitamin B5 consistently for 2 weeks now and I have noticed a difference in the oiliness in my skin. I still have oily skin but this is gradually reducing and the level is of a more acceptable level - I don't feel like a grease ball anymore! My poors are also noticeably smaller, though my face is still bumpy due to the small scatter of spots - for some reason especially around my jawline. I am hoping that the next few weeks will make more of a dramatic change. I am feeling positive on this and will update again in 2 weeks time. |

| Pros | It has helped fully clear my skin when nothing else has come close. It has flattened out my skin texture and evened out my skin tone. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The cost of the tablets. Worrying if it will eventually stop working. |
| Bottom line | I have been on roaccutane twice. Both courses reduced the severity of my acne but neither put it into remission. I have mild/moderate acne on my nose and on the skin under both eyes. Mostly inflamed pustules, I have never really suffered with blackheads. B5 has cleared my skin. I find it hard to comprehend how taking a vitamin has produced this result when years of topicals and prescription mediation has done very little to help me. I use the Time release b5 from Holland and Barrett and I take 3 grams a day; split into two doses. It took me a week to notice the difference and I get dry skin after showing now which is lovely as my skin has always been greasy. I find it very hard to believe anecdotal reviews on the internet highly recommending a product; I don't suggest you take this review as gospel - but I at least hope you try b5 and see the results I have. To be honest, I don't even believe the results myself and I'm slowly convincing myself that this may be the magic bullet for acne. |

| Pros | Cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | Hard on the stomach After 2 weeks didn't see any improvement |
| Bottom line | I don't know, this didn't work for me. I tried 15 pills (each 500mg) a day and there was absolutely no reduction in oil. Going to try Acnescript's oily skin version to see if that's a possible solution instead. |

| Pros | less oily skin, minimizes break out |
|---|---|
| Cons | the amount of pills, stomach runs, cost |
| Bottom line | I've been taking B5 for 2 weeks now. My skin is less oily and my break out minimizes but my skin isn't clear yet. So I am going to give it another 2 weeks to see if there are any further improvements. Basically, I am taking 10mg (20 pills and 4 times a day) per day. I see a significant reduction of oil after my third day. Also, I used to have on average 3 new pimples per day and now I'm only having 1 new pimple in 3-4 days. In terms of the initial break out that people claimed to have, I'm not sure if this is the 'initial break out' - having 1 pimple every 3-4 days and a bunch of whiteheads on my face. But I don't think it got worse before it gets better. (probably because i've been consistently breaking out already) In fact, my break out is minimizing gradually and I received good comments on my skin. I will willing to give it more time. I will update in another 2 weeks or so. Wish me luck! |
