Pros:

seemed to reduce skin oil?

Cons:

made me break out MUCH worse than before, made me feel sick. dried out skin and didn't let anything heal.
Maybe i didn't try it for long enough, but i don't care-this stuff didn't make me feel right at all.

Sounds a little like accutane at first? i dont know cause i haven't been on accutane but my guess is no, they aren't all that similar. No where near the amount of research has been done on b5 as it has been on accutane, so i think accutane might even be safer-hard to tell. Starting at 5 and going up to 10g/ day is so unnatural for your body, and it throws other chemical balances in your body out of wack. ive read good reviews on this (why i went on it) but no matter what they say, i cant imagine megadosing on this stuff is good for you. Save yourself the trouble and don't try it.

Pros:

Not that expensive if u look around for the cheapest price.

Cons:

N/A

I've battled with mild acne since I was 14. I've tried everything! proactive, differen,antibiotics, every over the counter product u can think of. I've even tried my own experiments... Like putting different stuff on different pimples on my face to see which one really worked. Recently out of nowhere my face broke out horribly! I mean it was from my forehead to my chin. From ear to ear! I went to the dermatologist n he injected over 25 pimples with cortisone. It scarred the lower part of my cheeks. ( I had never had a pimple on my lower part of my face) Iam devasted. I don't go out at all! So I was googling acne cures and I came across clear5 that has b5. I ordered it immidiately!!!! I'll keep every1 posted after 2 weeks. Wish me luck

Pros:

gave me a small increase in energy

Cons:

slightly worsened my acne

a little more energy for a little more acne is not worth it.

Pros:

Far less skin oil, acne only lasts for less than a day and much smaller

Cons:

Alot of pills and a little pricey over time

I have used B5 for about a month and a half now and i would say that it is a very good short term treatment. My confidence has gone up knowing that I have my acne problem under control. I would however recommend doing the program called 'acne free in 3 days' to cure your acne completely. Google it and i know everyone here will be happy. The bottom line is that this product is good for short term, but there is no miracle cure for acne, read 'acne free in 3 days' and you will not have a problem.
