Vitamin B5

really works if you follow the advice on forums like these. make sure you take a B50 Complex aswell..!! and make sure you take them with some food in your stomach otherwise you might get a few side affects. i personally only experienced a few headaches in the first 3 or 4 days of taking these, but now i have no side effects at all. i started taking only 2 at breakfast and 2 at dinner, but worked up gradually to now 4 at breakfast, 4 at lunch and 4 at dinner, and although my pores havent completely closed up, they are noticably smaller and the oil on my skin is amazingly less than before!! even in hot/humid conditions my face is almost 'normal', this has really worked for me. give it a try but make sure you follow the advice on here, take with food, and take a B50 complex too! also add a bit of healthy food and exercise in and im sure you will have a good experience too :) good luck

Use it, especially if you have oily skin.

I've been taking 20 pills a day for about 2 1/2 weeks, and it seems to be working. I haven't really gotten any new pimples, it's just taking a while for the old ones to clear up. I've had pretty bad acne for about 7 years, and this is definitely better than anything else I;ve tried.I only have a few pimples right now, the rest of my face is just healing, but it looks way better! i noticed results after the 1st week. I'll post back when my acne completey clears up!!! i have faith that it will!

I took 1 g per day in total and thought, yeah, give it a try, it will be another disappointment. Well everything apart from Benzoyl peroxide did not work on my face. But even after the frist days of using I saw a change in my facial tone and my acne has gone better. I have used Pan Oxly 5 for over ten years and I stopped when I started to use B5, just to see how good or bad it would work. I think 10 g is a bit too much, try just 1 g it worked for me fine.

I have been using this for more than a year, but it doesn't work anymore after I started after I started vegetarian diet. Do you have any idea why??

I stumbled on this product by fluke. I bought a multi-vitamin formulated for hair from Holland and Barrats (vitamin shop in UK). After a month or 2 of using this I noticed that my acne had reduced considerable. I then looked at the ingredients and the main vitamin was B5 (100mg 1667% of recommended daily allowance). I did not change anything else so can only contribute it to this. I know this may sound like a small amount to make a difference but it does reduce the oiliness and maybe because i am a petite female, this maybe all i need. My word of caution is that this product is known to make you scalp dry, so make sure you use good conditioner or oil on your scalp. Also it is known to reduce mucus production (throat, cervical) so this maybe an issue. I would not megadose and would advice people to start small and then work your way up after a couple of weeks. Please be patient

This product works!!! Ive been getting outbreaks for the past year and using mostly just Mario Badescu facial cleanser. That was working alright to control my outbreaks but I wanted to find a way to stop outbreaks from occurring. I was first skeptical about Clear Complexion b5 but after a week i started to notice less breakouts! Ive been taking this a little over a month and only getting a zit here or there now.

I'm 23 and have had moderate/occasionally severe acne since 18. I have had a very difficult time tracking down an effective acne treatment and prevention remedy for my sensitive caucasian skin. My skin's oil type is normal - a bit more oily in some places than others but neither too oily or too dry overall. I have been taking this product for the last month or so and I have seen some dramatic improvements. My skin is absolutely perfect (zit-free) when I take my 10 grams a day (2.5g taken every 3-4 hours). The only time I get pimples now is when I consume excessive alcohol on the weekends. Yet, these breakouts consist of only 3 or so small pimples and heal quickly. They are a far cry from the extremely painful, deep cystic zits I used to get before starting B5 supplementation. You need to continually take this product to maintain clear skin. Perhaps this is the biggest drawback, but I think this is definitely not a bad price to pay for acne-free skin.

I've been using it less than a week, I will update again after further use, but I have noticed a reduction in breakouts, and my skin is seems softer and more even in tone. I like it because you're not scrubbing or drying out your skin witha harsh product. It's more natural.

I have been taking 10 grms per day (5 gr. 4x daily)and I have noticed a drastic decrease in the oil production on my face. All existing zits and other types of bumps started drying up and there is only the dry skin which should dry off and be gone soon. I have been taking it for 5 days now and I hope it continues to decrease the oil on my face. I have had oily skin since I was 16 and after taking accutane about 5 times with no long lasting results, I was just depressed and hopeless. I started reading about vitamin b5 and so far I see improvment. I will do anything not to have to wash my face 10 times a day and not to be feeling greasy all the time. I bought vitamin b5 at GNC. 500mg pills and I take right now 20 pills a day.
