Pros:

I saw results in a couple of week. My skin was realy bad and I felt hopeless after tring so many different products with no success and then tried B5 and I have to tell you it has been God sent. TRY IT IF YOU WANT TO SEE REAL RESULTS!!! TRUST ME!!!

Cons:

NONE

IT REALLY WORKS, I HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE NOW WITH THE WAY I LOOK AND DONT FEEL I NEED TO HIBERNATE FROM THE WORLD.

Pros:

This definately works for me, every time i stop taking B5 my ane comes back, you do need large doses and you must take B-complex with it or it wont work!

Cons:

be careful if you are taking B5 in the form dicalium pantothenate, because you are overdosing on clacium too, which puts a lot of strain on your kidneys! take pantothine to resolve this problem.

this stuff saved me.

i had tried everything from clean and clear to differin, and nothing worked, and the differin made my face extremely oily. i read about vitamin b5 somewhere and even though i was a little skeptical, i ordered the vitacure brand. they are like little miracle pills. i am no longer oily at all, less oily than i was before i even started on differin. and i'm not dry either...my skin finally found a happy medium. i'd say my face is about 95% clear, and the little bit that i do still have after only two months of using vitacure is just some little bumps on my forehead, not one big pimple. if nothing else is working for you, then this stuff is definitely worth a shot!

To all concerned, I have just purchased this product after reading many reviews and contemplating for months. I have had breakouts for about 4 years now since I was 16 (I'm now 20) and have tried most treatments out there. All type of creams (benzac, all danne products, proactiv related, etc etc etc). Most types of antibiotic (tetracycline, minomycine, Erythromycin, Doxycycline) After losing all hope I went to a last resort (so I call it) chinese doctor.. Natural herb's spent over $1200 and did absolutely nothing to me besides make me nearly chuck while tasting the rubbish. At this point I was extremely pissed off. Took suggestion from parents + friends went beauty therapist for 6 months did chemical peels, enzimes, etc. This cleared up my acne SOMEWHAT after 2 months of weekly peels. I have alot of redness on my face with scarring and I've never picked or squeezed. 4 months later my acne is all back im all out of hope and Vilantae (B5) is my very last resort. Wish

Pros:

-I would say it is clearing my skin up
-No hastle....takes less than a minute to take a pill
-reletivly cheap if you find it in a shop.

Cons:

-Taking longer than i expected
- Mega dosing ??????

i'm really enjoying using this product mainly because it is so easy to use and i am seeing a gradual difference in my skin. One thing i'm not to sure about though is the dosage. My B5 supplement is 500mg (per tab.) Now i;m constantly reading reviews that say to take up to 10g (20 tabs!!) per day. I mean i'm still only in my teens but i think i'm mature enough to know that 20 vitamins per day could be considered mega dosing. Personally i'm going to limit myself to 2g (4 tabs) per day, because i'm scared of any side affects. Preferably 2 tabs in the morning before school and 2 before i go to bed. Besides the dosage, its true, i think this supplement is working for me - slowly but surely. Although i dont see any difference to my blackheads on my nose which is a shame, but then again i have only been using these for about two weeks. Two weeks is also the time when people say that you should start seeing results which makes sense. In conclusion vitamin B5 seems to be a natural remedy for skin and acne and i would definatly reccomend it to anybody. But please bear in mind your dosage. Seriously 20 tablets per day...everyday?!?!?

Pros:

I have been using B5 for probably two years now. Aside from a certain birth control pill it is the only thing that has worked for me. (I have tried countless over the counter cleansing products and different birth control pills.) However, I still have to take the full 10g a day to be completely clear.

It does work really fast - my skin clears up within a week or two, and I do have moderate acne.

Haven't had any negative physical side affects at all.

Cons:

If I cut down to even 8g, I break out, although it's sort of manageable with make-up...

If I forget to take it for a few days altogether, my skin gets just really bad (as in large hurting pimples and do not want to leave the house kind of bad).

Doesn't fix the (unknown) cause of the problem.

I am 36 years old and feel like I would have to take these for the rest of my life. To me it's not a long-term solution, but I also still don't have any better ideas.

Pros:

Maybe helped a littled.

Cons:

none

Tried it for a month + with a b complex but didn't see enough results to continue taking it.

Pros:

Didn't take long for me to see the results. Skin felt less oily, and great reduction in pimples.

Cons:

A little pricey, but still worth it to me!

Bottom line is I had tried other products, and I find that this works the best. I don't mind taking the pills everyday and have had no side effects for the medication at all. I feel more confident and will continue taking them. Just wondering how many pills I will end up taking (this is my third month, so I will have a little trial and error next month).

Pros:

Skin is I'd say about 75% clearer than it was when I started. It hasn't cleared me up completely but my skin is about 100% less oily and the whiteheads are maybe one or two daily. I'm going to try to take the maintenance dosage and use the regimen.

Cons:

None, really. I've noticed zero side effects.

I would reccomend this to anyone with oily skin as it did work very well on that area. Also I would say at least a 50% reduction in whiteheads. I think it would be best suited as a supplement to a regimen. I'm gonna try Dk's regimen with it.
