| Pros: | less oily face, less breakouts (although i still get them).. |
| Cons: | peeing a lot, a lot of pill swollowing |
| Bottom Line: | I'm not to sure if this truely worked only because i had lots of other variables added to my acne clearing regiment such as the apple cider vinegar, and drinking lemons, and using retin-a micro. |

| Pros: | Less oil, clearer skin |
| Cons: | price |
| Bottom Line: | Be patient. I have been taking B5 for about 1.5 months now and it is starting to work! I take the liquid form and I think this is the way to go. I don't like pills. At first I didn't think anything was happening and I was breaking out worse a few weeks ago but now I am seeing improvement. My skin is feeling better. I have always been healthy..exercise, eat a balanced diet, sleep well etc.. and these are just as important while taking B5. God bless. |

| Pros: | none |
| Cons: | none |
| Bottom Line: | Went through two bottles so that's about 200 pills within 2 weeks. I know some suggested you have to wait longer to see results, but i'm gonna stop now. Didn't see less oil production or smaller pores etc. I'm gonna try the fish oil regimen now. |

| Pros: | Definitely helped me. |
| Cons: | B5 works, sort of, but its a remedy not a cure. |
| Bottom Line: | Try the following instead:
Give up cows milk (for info on this do a search on acne + milk on the internet). I've given up cows milk and seen a massive improvement (although to be fair I used to drink a lot of milk).
Also cut back on sugar as much as possible. You've heard this before - but the important thing is the total sugar you eat - from any source - not only mars bars and ice cream. Some fruit smoothies for example contain 25% sugar & even carrot juice is apparently high in sugars. Both of these are supposed to be good for you but I am totally/100% convinced that high sugar intake aggravates acne.
Also some supplements possibly help - MSM (in high doses), evening primrose oil & starflower oil. |

| Pros: | cleared skin and scars, no oil, brightens complexion |
| Cons: | none |
| Bottom Line: | I have Vit b5 pantothenic acid time release, just one a day of 500mg. I had moderate skin problems for four years and just one of these tablets a day after two weeks has completely changed my skin. Even healing old scars I had on other parts of the body and noticed any bruising disappears in couple of days at most. No need to take hundreds of tablets a day because the vitamin is slowly released over an 8 hour period. Fantastic! From Uk, cost £7.00 for 100 tablets. |

| Pros: | soft skin, acne healing |
| Cons: | no side effects others have said, except some breakout |
| Bottom Line: | I've only started taking b5 two days ago, and before, i had many clogged pores, not acne, but little bumps on the surface of the skin that wouldn't go away, but I've begun to break out, so maybe its clearing out the pores? |

| Pros: | Seems to work for others and isn't a pharmaceutical. |
| Cons: | Made me break out really badly to the point where I gave it up after three weeks. Also - thought it's not a pharmaceutical - it is a damn high dosage of a vitamin...so perhaps just as bad in a way. |
| Bottom Line: | OK I'd always noticed in the past that certain foods somehow made my skin better the next day. Once I'd finally realised that all these foods had lots of B5 in them, I did some research on the vitamin itself, thought "great, this is the answer" and started taking about a gram a day.
This is perhaps where I went wrong - maybe if you take a low dosage like this, you're more likely to break out. But on the other hand, I don't know - maybe if I'd have taken really high amounts, I'd have broken out even worse. So I'm not sure.
I think I had an unlucky reaction to B5 really. I broke out quite badly, especially in one area of my face (the side I sleep on). I knew this initial break out was a risk so carried on for a while, but after three weeks, and after reading that some people break out for months (or up to three months I read once) I thought sod it.
Have been off it for a couple of weeks and seems to be healing up fine.
So try it but be prepared.
