| Pros: | Reduced my body acne. T-zone less oily. Fewer breakouts on cheeks. |
| Cons: | Convenience |
| Bottom Line: | Was tempted to use accutane because nothing else worked. Started using SkinB5 6 weeks ago and the results have been better than expectd. Acne on my shoulders and back has almost cleared and my face is much less oily. |

| Pros: | Skin feels smoother and is less oily, fewer breakouts, doesn't upset my stomach. |
| Cons: | None. |
| Bottom Line: | I bought the GNC brand of pantothenic acid about a month ago because I read on this site that it can help reduce skin oiliness. I have been taking two 500 mg pills twice daily. I have incredibly oily skin, and within about two weeks I noticed that my skin looked and felt less oily. I also have mild acne, and the B5 cleared up my skin almost 100%; I can now actually get away with not wearing makeup! My skin also looks and feels much smoother. Although I still have oilier skin than most people, I really think the B5 helped, and it's definitely worth trying if you have acne. I also have a sensitive stomach and the B5 didn't upset it at all. I also like that I can get a bottle of 100 pills for around eight dollars. I didn't notice any weight loss, unfortunately. |

| Pros: | does help with clearing skin better than antibiotics |
| Cons: | think hair does fall out quicker :~ |
| Bottom Line: | Advice to Brian dont use vilantae i used it too it didnt work made it worse then i got some vitamin b5 on its own and took some pills and it helped calm the acne that vilantae had caused try it.
i used vitamin b5 for some time it did help with the acne but it was like it was pushing big spots to the surface and i heared hair loss stories so i backed off after some of my hair was being lost i got scared...but my acne is still the problem so i am back on it now giving it another go but taking it in smaller dosage like only 3 or 4 or 5 pills a day and its doing the same thing its pushing spots to the surface and so im hoping after this it will start drying up the oil and my skin can become clearer.
Good luck to everyone i feel your pain :( |

| Pros: | stop using proactiv to control acne THANKS to vitamin B5. My face is NOT oily, so far is the best oral vitamin i ever took. |
| Cons: | haven't experience it yet, hair loss? |
| Bottom Line: | if you have bad acne, take 10 GRAMS of vitamin B5 everyday. First, start off with 2-3 grams for the first week to get your system use to it, then next following week bump it up to 10 grams. IT IS BETTER THAN FISH OIL OMEGA 3. |

| Pros: | Less deep cysts, Less oily + smaller pores. Heaps of energy! |
| Cons: | No nasty side effects, just the uncertainty of taking mega doses freaks me out! |
| Bottom Line: | Hi I am 22 and I have suffered acne since I was 13. I've tried nearly every product on the market. Been on tropical creams +differn from the dr which never helped , just caused my skin to be dry and flakey. It all just gets a bit frustrating after awhile and the search for some relief never seems to end. Was about to go on diane35, but decided to give one more shot at something less internally dangerous and its been the best decision so far!!!
Taking 4g b5 tablets cut into 3 doses morning, noon and night with food( thats important or you will be rushing to the toilet), i crush my noon dose into powder form and mix it with juice for better absorption.
I also have boitin 150mg zinc a mult b vitamin tablet 1000mg flaxseed oil wash my face with green french clay and moisturize with 100% aloe vera gel:) |

| Pros: | I didn't upset my stomach |
| Cons: | but...is it working? |
| Bottom Line: | I have very very mild acne but very persistent, I was basicaly just looking for something that wuold take care of the excess of oil of my skin. It's been 4 weeks so far...it hasen't change a thing!I'm gonna finish up this bottle and if it doesn't start working comment back. Beware of the comments left by the companies, it is a very common practise to use forum to advertise and pilot the possible buyers' mind |
