Similar thing happened to me. ACV at first worked pretty well, then 2 months in it stopped working and actually made me broke out more. I stopped using it immediately. Now I'm convinced it was just placebo effects.

Did you take calcium ascorbate & magnesium ascorbate for your acne? Aren't they just vitamin C? -

In your 1st post you said you hadn't seen any hair regrowth yet because it took time. Do you have any regrowth by now? -

8g of B5? That's a lot. Why did you up it that much? I thought 1:1 ratio between B5 and cysteine was working well for you. Isn't the whole idea of adding L-cysteine to B5 is to eliminate the need to megadose on B5 and let you get away with taking lower dose (like 2g) of B5 instead? -

When you said no luck for you, did you mean you've been taking B5 with L-cysteine and your hair is still falling out? -
I've read a few posts that said zinc inhibit 5 alpha reductase and reduces DHT, hence it's good for acne.

You mentioned earlier that the oiliness had come back. Is your skin still oily? If not, what did you do to stop the oiliness? -

Omega 3 And Returning From Vacations Abroad Causing Break Outs

I used to drink a lot of juice everyday but then I found out about the GI-acne link so I stopped. That really improved
