Vitamin B5

Bottom line is I had tried other products, and I find that this works the best. I don't mind taking the pills everyday and have had no side effects for the medication at all. I feel more confident and will continue taking them. Just wondering how many pills I will end up taking (this is my third month, so I will have a little trial and error next month).

Worked very well for me. My advice to anyone with persistent acne is give it a try, however:- 1) I used a non-brand Vitamin B5 bought over the internet from a reputable site. It worked for me. Why waste money on an expensive brand. 2) Ignore all the advice and find your own dosage-level. Start on 1g (two tabs) per day for a couple of days and see what happens. I settled at 2g per day. Two tabs in the morning & two at night. 3) If B5 works for you your skin will be much less greasy and more stable - so adjust your washing regimen accordingly. Do not allow your skin to become too dry. If necessary give up soap & just use hot water to wash your face. Generally you must ignore everyone except me and find what works for you - unfortunately this can take weeks/months of trial-and-error.

i have been taking b5 with a multivitamin for about a month now and i have noticed a continual improvement in my skin. my breakouts have not only gotten smaller in size but fewer in number as well(A LOT FEWER!). my skin is also less oily. i take 5g morning noon and night. will definitely continue taking b5 and will hopefully continue seeing improvement.

I started off slowly with just 10g and day then after a week I started 20g a day. I started to see results after 2 weeks but after a month i missed a day and had an outbreak a week after. I'm very scared to stop taking B5 now. I think that you will be taking a risk with this but like with everything there will be one thing that works for you. Maybe this will be it!

A good alternative to topical prescriptions during the winter time. Or if you have really bad side effects to topical prescriptions.

reduces oil NO LIFE THREATENING side effects not sure how long need to stay on it indefinitely??

I'm very glad I tried it. At the time I tried it, I was in utter despair as to what to do about my adult acne.(Never experienced acne until I was about to turn 40) When I first tried it, I was averaging about 20 simultaneous Zits. After being on b5 for about a month, it cleared up to 2 or 3 at a time. Now it has gone back up to between 4 and 8 at a time. Although, I'm not quite sure why it has gone back up, at least it is not as bad as it was.....so far. I'm going to continue to use the product for now along with looking into some other things. Since I've started to experience acne, even with the B5, I have yet to experience a day when my face was 100% clear. So, my search continues. I have increased my dosage to three teaspoons a day and I will update as to whether or not this makes a difference.

Give it a go!!

Vitamin B5 isn't a miracle pill. You need plenty of water and enough rest to let your body immune system to do the rest.

I would definetely reccomend it, but maybe try less quantity first. The first 3 days I did 3 G which is 6 500mg pills and seen effects instantly. Then I increased to 5G a day which is 10 pills a day and it seems to work great for me. Its just extremely drying for me with the soap I use and differin gel 0.3. But, it has been a 1-2 wks so far and my scars are claring and my skin only had 1 pimple that came back. That is a drastic improvemnet from having 6 or more at once. I was about to start on accutane next wk so hopefully this continues to work. Regiment Palmolive soap( cheap soap that completely dries skin out.
