Pros:

Skin is much less oily. Complexion has improved and scarring less visible.

Cons:

Not available in South Africa

I've been using SkinB5 which I found on the web. Very happy with the result, considering I had tried other products like Proactiv, Clearasil with no success. Decided to give vitamin b5 a try after reading a medical study by Dr Leung. I give SkinB5 a big thumbs up!!!!

Pros:

less oily skin, slightly smaller pores

Cons:

Cost, the possibility of it stop working after 1 or 2 years

I have mild acne (3 to 5 spots at a time) I took 10g a day for over a month and noticed that my face was producing less oil but i was still getting spots. I also continued with the regimen at the same time. I also read lots of posts from people who have been on this drug for some time and many of them said that after a year or two it just stopped working; sometimes making their acne worst than before they started taking it. This worried me so i have slowly been taking less and less and hope to just take 2g a day.

Pros:

WORKS GREAT FOR OILY SKIN.

Cons:

MANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH SCRIP/DRUGS. BE SUPER CAREFUL

B-5 TIME RELEASE WORKED GREAT FOR MY OILY SKIN BUT I AM ALSO TAKING A SATIN AND MY LEGS WENT INTO SHUT DOWN MODE. SPENT TWO WEEKS IN PAIN BEFORE FINDING OUT THAT IT DOES EFFECT THE JOINTS AND I WAS IN LOTS OF PAIN, LOSS ALL MY LEG HAIR AS WELL. KNEES WHERE 3 TIMES THERE SIZE. MD'S WHERE LOSS FOR WORDS. AS SOON AS I STOPED IT WENT AWAY. KNEES WENT DOWN OVER NIGHT. MAYBE THERE ARE OTHER DRUGS IT DOES NOT WORK WELL WITH. MY MD'S NEVER KNEW OF THIS SIDE EFFECT BUT THIS TYPE OF BRUD HAS BEEN KNOW TO HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS WITH SOME DRUGS MADE FOR BLOOD/JOINTS PROBLEM. IF YOU LOOK UP B5 IN THE AMA'S DRUG BOOK (NOT THE PDR) IT SAYS THAT LITTLE OR NO STUDYS HAVE BEEN DONE USE THIS DRUG FOR A LONG TIME. IT ALSO SAY'S THAT A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE TAKING ASPRIN'S IS NOW BEING STUDYED. NICE FOR OILY SKIN BUT TO RISKY FOR LONG TERN USE. I STOPED TAKING IT ANS ALL MY LEG PAIN AWAY, AND MY LEG HAIR CAME BACK. LIKE I SAID "ALL" MY DOCTORS WHERE STUMPED ABOUT THIS DRUG. TAKE WITH A OPEN EYE !

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!

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:

Designed for acne, its the cheapest B5 product on the market, it tastes great, includes other essential vitamins.

Cons:

None, the product cured my acne

I've been using SkinB5 for a month and all I can say is "WOW". I've been using B5 for about 2 years, but it was expensive, so I tried SkinB5 and this stuff was far more effective that anything else I've tried. I have ZERO pimples on my face, plus this staff tastes great. Awesome product, THANK YOU!!!!

Pros:

So far makes my face less oily

Cons:

Non yet

Ok so i have suffered from acne since i was 13yrs of age and now 26. My acne is not the worse in the world but it bothers me (especially when people make comments on it). Ive tryed many things for it, antibiotics, pro active, ect. I was searching in the internet about acne cures and B5 came up.. And ive read so many good reviews about it that i decided to try it.. This is my 6 day on it and by the 3rd day i notice that my oily skin have reduced about 75%.. Im still getting break outs but not anything out of the ordinary but ive read that it takes a few months to actually work so fingers crossed.. Im not mega dosing cuz im scared about the side effects. I started with 1 500mg from GMC and by day 5 i went up to 1g.. I take one with my lunch and a multivitamin and the other with my dinner with a b-complex.. So far so good. I will keep updating for new results..
