| Pros | Very good results until now (3 weeks). |
|---|---|
| Cons | So many pills to take... I feel like a drug addict. I even hide from others when it's time to take the pills ! Would be easier if I could smoke pantothenic acid ;) |
| Bottom line | Less oily skin ! Almost acne-free !! I've been taking them for 3 weeks now. I broke out two days after starting with 1-2g/day. I got cystic acne, kind of acne I don't have usually. But I kept on and raised the dosage slowly to 9g. Today, the big pimples are allmost gone, there are still scars, but I also take 100mg of Zinc every day so they should be gone in a week. I take an auto-portrait every 2/3 days, so I really see the difference ! |

| Pros | Cheap & it works great. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None. |
| Bottom line | After 2 courses of Accutane, my face started getting oily again and my acne was starting to return. At 28 this obviously sucked, but i didn't want to go on Tane for another 4-6 months. I gave B5 a try, and it keeps my face oil free just like the Tane did. I don't take the megadose amounts either, i use the 500mg time released ones. I take one with breakfast, one mid afternoon & one before i go to bed. That's it. |

| Pros | i only take 2 grams a day, so it is easy to take. (4 pills, two in AM, two in PM) |
|---|---|
| Cons | nothing |
| Bottom line | i bought B in 500mg. 500mg+500mg=1000mg =1gram. so i take 2 pills, one gram, in the morning after breakfast & again at night after dinner or sometimes after mid day snack. it's pretty convenient. no side effects, no stomach weirdness or anything. i take B complex & antioxidant once every few days or when i remember. i also take 25mg of zinc with the B5 once or twice a day. it's super small, so it's easy too. i have been washing my face with eucerin gentle cleanser, then i use burt's bees herbal blemish stick all over my face & then i use an oil free moisturizer. my face had not been this clear for this long without anitbiotics & accutane. i feel happy & myself. i'll never take any antibiotics or crazy meds like accutane ever again. |

| Pros | -Easy To Do -No Breakouts |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Expensive, Did Not Reduce Oily Skin -Potentially Harmful To The Liver -Unknown Long Term Effects |
| Bottom line | I gave up after a week +. The reason is because the excessive amount 10g is way too much for my taste. I had read that taking such a megadose could **** up your liver. I did not think it was worth it, and I only wanted to do it for the oily skin that I have. At the moment, I'm using Concha Nacar Bleach Cream which seems to keep my oily skin at bay. You should definitely research this method as much as possible and willing to face the potential side effects. I'm just sticking to fish oil, b-complex, and zinc. It's a lot safer method to combating my oiliness. |

| Pros | greatly reduces OIL!!!! shrinks pores |
|---|---|
| Cons | my eyes get red and ive heard there are some long term bad effects |
| Bottom line | ive researched this alot and all i have to say is try it. Its way safer than accutane. I also didnt megadose like your supposed to i took 5 grams for 2 months then 3 grams then now im down to .5 grams a day and it still works. I stopped for a couple of weeks and boom oily face and acne came back. So basically try it folks. Its called PANTOTHENIC ACID at the stores |

| Pros | REALLY CONTROL OIL PRODUCTION! |
|---|---|
| Cons | capsule is difficult to swallow and have to swallow a lot a day. powder form is not very tasty. but really small price to pay for such a big result. |
| Bottom line | I used to have so oily a face that I will have a thick film of oil 10 min after washing. I often have break out as well, bad acne and some cystic acne. I went to a dermatologist and she prescript me with antibiotics and accutane. my face was immediately cleared. I still maintain accutane for a year and it kept my oil production in check. after I stopped accutane due to hair loss, the oil came straight back. (the acne didnt). I went back to my usually depressed mode. but luckily B5 helped me, it really worked! I cant say it's as good as accutane, but accutane cant acommpany you for life, B5 can. It dont work on everyone but about 90% it's really worth it to try. I have done a lot of research on oil reduction, and 1. accutane. 2. vit B5. others dont come close to this 2. dont listen to those who scream dont try, they say it cos they are angry it didnt work on them, or they give up too fast. It took me 1 month to see effect. you nv know unless you try and maintain. |

| Pros | -Makes your face less oily.This is the biggest plus. -Less breakouts too,i feel. -Cleaner feel on the face. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -People have been mentioning of hair thinning and hair loss.I am not so sure..i feel that my hair is thinning a bit...but its also possible that i am merely imagining. -Initial side effects |
| Bottom line | Its a plus.Wouldn't recommend overdosing.I started with 5grams and have weaned off to 3 to 3.5 grams/day.I feel it works just as good. My face was like an oil field earlier.Used to regularly use a soft tissue to wipe the oil off--needless to say,the tissue would be splotched with oil.Now,i dont even wipe my face...maybe once in a day. It may make your face a bit flaky...but it will reduce gradually.Have been on this for about 18 days now. I also take one B-Complex every couple of days. |

| Pros | Not that expensive if u look around for the cheapest price. |
|---|---|
| Cons | N/A |
| Bottom line | I've battled with mild acne since I was 14. I've tried everything! proactive, differen,antibiotics, every over the counter product u can think of. I've even tried my own experiments... Like putting different stuff on different pimples on my face to see which one really worked. Recently out of nowhere my face broke out horribly! I mean it was from my forehead to my chin. From ear to ear! I went to the dermatologist n he injected over 25 pimples with cortisone. It scarred the lower part of my cheeks. ( I had never had a pimple on my lower part of my face) Iam devasted. I don't go out at all! So I was googling acne cures and I came across clear5 that has b5. I ordered it immidiately!!!! I'll keep every1 posted after 2 weeks. Wish me luck |
