So just to clarify, NO ONE- Philly, PJ, Exister, etc actually did Step 2, the Crude Oil. And did anyone try step 3, which is connected to the thyroid, being part of the adrenals someone mentioned abov...

I'd stay away from biotin. It made my skin oilier and gave me more acne.

Update- I've upped my b5 dosage to 8g/day so I can eat more freely. I've added 450mg of pantethine, and lowered the l-cysteine to 2g since pantethine has some cysteine in it. 8g of B5? That's a lot...

2 grams l-cysteine 1 gram nac and 500mg meth Any particular reasons you take both l-cysteine and NAC? They are just different forms of l-cysteine.

Has anyone besides itsoveryes got this to stop the B5 induced hairloss? No luck for me and my methionine caps are almost finished. When you said no luck for you, did you mean you've been taking B5...

So perhaps this is a bit of a debunk of the experts who don't feel that the linoleic acid in our sebum is systemic or dietary. At least the dietary part. But the vast majority of the population get...

I've read a few posts that said zinc inhibit 5 alpha reductase and reduces DHT, hence it's good for acne. But then there's this study: -------- Effect of Zinc Administration on Plasma Testosterone...

They help some people and hurt others Usually those whose acne worsens due to phytoestrogens are male. Do you know of any studies showing that? Phytoestrogens like lignans and isoflavones ar...

I've been doing a 1:1 Ratio and my skin has never looked better. 500mg of each, three times a day. No hairloss. The only (minor, minor) problem is that I have twice as much B5 as L-C in stock. I'm thi...

Are you male or female? The study you have a link to was conducted on females. As I understand, the phytoestrogens are a problem in males who are prone to hormonal acne. I'm male. Where did you...

Thanks for your responses. Can I ask why apple cider vinegar? I've never heard of that before. Vinegar significantly reduces the glycemic load of the foods you eat: Lowered glycemic load in turn...

Try flaxseed meal. I eat flaxseed meal everyday and it improves my acne. Whenever I stop eating flax meal my skin gets worse. > I also ate almost no fruits, nor did I drink juices. Maybe that's ...

  I haven't ...this clearetto supplement has B6. Is B5 better for acne than B6? I didn't have any luck with B12, that's why I avoided B-complex supplements that have all 3 Bs. I'd be carefu...

My face started getting oily again after a few weeks of B5 and L-carnitine. Switched to B5 and L-cysteine, and the oiliness went away. It's been a couple weeks now and the oiliness is back. I don't kn...

Can the skin actually absorb vitamin B5 through the pores? Does this work for you? Everything I've read about B5 in acne treatment requires taking it internally. So this is new to me. Can you just d...

Following these two recommendations and you're eliminating lots of vegetable oils and less-refined carbs like wheat bread, brown rice, beans, etc.   Why would you want to eliminate beans? Bean...

I've read recommendations to take L-Carnitine with B5. Is it necessary to take L-Carnitine?

Dairy consumption has been linked to acne (not to mention ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and other diseases) in many studies. It's the immense amount of hormones and insulin-like substances containe...

I take b5 and l-cysteine powder in water throughout the day. I am 90% cured   What dosage do you take? Does it have any effects? In an earlier post (#12) you mentioned you were 90% clear on fa...

Thanks Green Gable. That's very informative. Which supplements do you think are the most effective at regulating androgens?

Hi, I've been learning about the links between hormones and acne. Just want to make sure my understanding is correct. My understanding: - both androgen and estrogen can cause acne - anti-andro...

I did use evening primrose oil topically and orally many years ago. From what I remember I broke out more. Do you think your breaking out was caused by just the topical application? Did taking it ...

I wondered if the GLA in Borage and Evening Primrose oil and the linoleic acid in Hemp seed oil would work topically. Has anyone tried that? What's your result?
