Pros:

Cleared up body ance

Cons:

Did improve my facially acne but not to the degree I wanted. Keep hearing about body hair falling out. gutted, would'nt mind losing the chest rug.

Get on it and stay on it. Don't make any judgement till after 4 months or so. Still use your external regimes. I found that milk thistle made a difference inconjuction. This won't work 4 everyone, nothing does but it's not a scam, give it a go if u'v got the cash 2 flash.

Pros:

Hey! I started dosage of 4 grams per day about a week ago and have noticed a decrease in oil.

Cons:

Haven't noticed a difference in breakout, but it has only been a week.

I have persistent jawline acne that is starting to scar. I have done antibiotics, several rounds of accutane, topicals both prescription and over the counter. I am hoping this will help with the nodules on my chin. I have heard birth control can help though and that is my next step.

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:

skin slowly starting to improve

Cons:

none that i have noticed yet

ive been taking the time release form for about 2 months now at 1 gram a day , 1 pill in the morning and 1 at night (i dont think it sounds healthy to take 20 pills a day) and it is slowly working. along with this i take a multi vitamin b tablet and eat 5 portions of fruit a day, as well as drinking lots of water fruit juice and milk.

Pros:

does help with clearing skin better than antibiotics

Cons:

think hair does fall out quicker :~

Advice to Brian dont use vilantae i used it too it didnt work made it worse then i got some vitamin b5 on its own and took some pills and it helped calm the acne that vilantae had caused try it. i used vitamin b5 for some time it did help with the acne but it was like it was pushing big spots to the surface and i heared hair loss stories so i backed off after some of my hair was being lost i got scared...but my acne is still the problem so i am back on it now giving it another go but taking it in smaller dosage like only 3 or 4 or 5 pills a day and its doing the same thing its pushing spots to the surface and so im hoping after this it will start drying up the oil and my skin can become clearer. Good luck to everyone i feel your pain :(

Pros:

I didn't upset my stomach

Cons:

but...is it working?

I have very very mild acne but very persistent, I was basicaly just looking for something that wuold take care of the excess of oil of my skin. It's been 4 weeks so far...it hasen't change a thing!I'm gonna finish up this bottle and if it doesn't start working comment back. Beware of the comments left by the companies, it is a very common practise to use forum to advertise and pilot the possible buyers' mind

Pros:

face is less oily, fewer breakouts

Cons:

diarrhea

I have been using SkinB5 for only a few days but already see an improvement. My skin is less oily and I have not had any new pimples since starting. After reading some of the other reviews, I'm a little nervous b/c I don't want it to lose its affect, this is actually working!! Hopefullly, the longer I use it, my existing pimples will go away. We'll see. It's worth a try.

Pros:

It works better than anything else I have tried

Cons:

It may lose its effectiveness after using it for a while. Maybe it's just my system begin to metabolize it faster?

It was great!!! I used it for about 8 months and things were getting better, but all the sudden outta blue, I get lots of breakouts. I am not sure what goes wrong. I started with 8g break it into 4 times a day and within 6 months I got it reduced to 6 g since my acnes were getting better. Now I am back on 8 g, if things dont get any better I will prob crank it up to 10g. This is frustrating. I thought things were going in right direction and my face was going to be completely clean by the summer time. Darn!!! Did anyone else experience the same problem of B5 losing its effectiveness? I also take other supplments - B complex, FishOil, Multi Vitamin, and Zinc. Btw, what's wrong with all these dermatologies out there? Arent they supposed to get this figured out? What's all the schooling for?
