Pros:

Skin is less oily and its slowly clearing up.

Cons:

lots of pills to take

I started on 4/5/08, and vitaminshoppe is the cheapest place, especially when they have their buy one get the second one half off. I am trying really hard to take twenty pills a day-5 pills 4x a day, thats the only hard part. I've tried to take five before eating to see if it would effect my stomach differently but it hasn't. You may experience some extra bowel movement when your body is adjusting to the pills. Other than that it is GREAT! I've had acne for over 15 years, and while it wasnt severe it was bad enough were people would make fun of me behind my back. When you first start the regime, you breaks you out, but remember it has to get worse before it gets better. I am also taking B complex , vitamin E, Zinc, Flax Seed, Vitamin C and Iron. Take the the vitamin c and iron together and 1/2 hour separately. I also went to the Natural Food store and got an internal scrub. Also before I started the I got a colonic ( went two times). So there you

Pros:

less oil and breakouts

Cons:

popping lots of pills and trips to the bathroom

i have been taking b5 with a multivitamin for about a month now and i have noticed a continual improvement in my skin. my breakouts have not only gotten smaller in size but fewer in number as well(A LOT FEWER!). my skin is also less oily. i take 5g morning noon and night. will definitely continue taking b5 and will hopefully continue seeing improvement.

Pros:

Started B5 500MG 2pills today. Hoping to see improvement in oily skin.

Cons:

None yet

I am 31 years old and have suffered with Acne since I was 15. I was recently put on Accutane and when I went off broke out like crazy. Now on Minocycline and Ziana at night. Hoping the B5 is the cure. I will keep everybody posted. Thoughts appreciated?

Pros:

cleared my acne by 90% and my pores became much smaller.

Cons:

cost. $39.95aud is cheap for overseas people but its quite high in Australia.

Been using SkinB5 for 5 weeks, cleared up most of my acne and reduced my skin oil. My pores are much smaller. Overall very happy.

I will never be without this stuff again!!! I had moderate breakouts and tried EVERYTHING I could... even waisted my money on Celibre laser resurfacing. Then I read rave reviews about B5 over the internet so I decided to give it a try. I was amazed. With in a few days I noticed that I wasn't waking up or coming home to new breakouts. Instead my pores shrank and my skin got its healthy radient glow back. I was even more convinced when my friend asked me how my skin is so poreless! I have been taking B5 for 6-7 months now and the results are phenominal. Just an occasional zit here and there... I take anywhere from 5-7 500mg capsules every night before going to bed and it works great. I have had no side effects (and vitamins usually make me sick!) and I noticed my energy level is a lot higher! I got my sister started on it as well as several friends! Do try this and give it some time. I swear it will work! [link removed] sells a large bottle for only $8.99

Pros:

It's inexpensive, but if you buy it online like what i do, the shipping and handling fees can become a pain.

Cons:

Made me go to the bathroom a lot! Didn't really notice any results.

I do not recommend this. I was currently taking Vilantae for 4 months and i have not seen results. I followed directions exactly too. The only thing i noticed was that i had to go to the bathroom like 5 times a day lol. I stopped taking it about a week ago and my face is doing much better! Now i'm just using proactiv solution and eating more fruits and vegetables. So...if you are an acne sufferer, i am sorry. But please don't risk your health taking pills found on the internet. Just use good topical products and eat a healthy, balanced diet. Good luck!

Pros:

Reduces oily skin

Cons:

Amount of pills, Constant bowels.

I've only been taking Vilantae B5 for about a week. I started out taking the maximum dosage. I take 5 pills 4 times a day for a total of 20 pills a day. I have very oily skin and already I have began to notice a reduction in the oil in my skin. My acne has also began to subside. I'll post in 3 more weeks to keep you guys posted on my success.

Pros:

I did see an improvement in my skin by taking about 3-5g a day. been taking it for like about 10 days.

Cons:

you will feel easy hungry if you didn't take enough food before u take the pills

Vitamin B5 isn't a miracle pill. You need plenty of water and enough rest to let your body immune system to do the rest.
