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

Thats all, Now my acne is worst then before, Last year it was bad and then it went back to a normal level, now since i took Vilantae my face is the worst it has ever been, Thx Vilantae. Now I am to ashamed to go out because of my face. DON'T BUY IT.

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:

Uhhh?

Cons:

Expensive. Lots of pills. Useless

I'd avoid vilatae like the plague, i spent so much money on this product which i feel is advertised alot like diet pills. False promises are made, i even showed my derm this product and she was baffled. It also screwed my bowels up. i wont go into details

Went through two bottles so that's about 200 pills within 2 weeks. I know some suggested you have to wait longer to see results, but i'm gonna stop now. Didn't see less oil production or smaller pores etc. I'm gonna try the fish oil regimen now.

Pros:

none

Cons:

As soon as i started taking it my acne got worse and worse and worse, i took the dam stuff for over a month two! this is the worse my acne has ever been in my life!

It seems that it works for some people, I obviously wouldn't recommend it to anyone because of what it did to me. Seriously just go get accutane, that's what im doin today.

Pros:

I seriously can't think of any. False hope.

Cons:

Supposedly you need to take a very large dose.

I don't want you to waste your money. As acne sufferers we are desperate to find a cure to this awful disease ASAP. We scour the internet for all sorts of strange remedies and we get caught up in these so called fixes. I've tried everything. Vitamin E, Zinc, Vitamin C, and all sorts of over the counter medications and nothing really has worked for my acne. Like you I am somewhat desperate to find a cure and Vitamin B (5 grams a day for 2 months) has been proven to be ineffective. I am disappointed and I don't want anyone to fall into the same trap so don't buy this stuff. There have been no conclusive studies on the effectiveness of Vitamin B on acne. It's all myth and hearsay from anonymous reviewers.
