Pros:

Worked great. Less oil, much clearer skin, experienced no side effects at all.

Cons:

Doesn't work overnight. Can be annoying taking so many pills at first.

It's definitely not a scam. Heck, it's just a vitamin. It's not like you have to buy it from some "B5 for acne" company. That so many people have seen great results from just taking B5 should tell you something. I took a chance on it and am glad I did.

Pros:

Amazingly my back acne disappeared after just one week taking 2 B5's at night. My skin was okay...I think I needed to take the pill longer to get any results.

Cons:

HAIR LOSS!??!? That is a side effect of this vitamin. I don't care If my whole face is one big pimple, I'm not going to prematurely lose my hair over it. I don't know if I was overly paranoid but I think I did notice some evidence of hair loss.

B5 may work for you but be wary of its side effects. I personally became too paranoid and discontinued the use of B5. I hear Red Clover is good as it helps to control bacteria and raging hormones.

Pros:

Started B5 500MG 2pills today. Hoping to see improvement in oily skin.

Cons:

None yet

I am 31 years old and have suffered with Acne since I was 15. I was recently put on Accutane and when I went off broke out like crazy. Now on Minocycline and Ziana at night. Hoping the B5 is the cure. I will keep everybody posted. Thoughts appreciated?

Pros:

Skin is I'd say about 75% clearer than it was when I started. It hasn't cleared me up completely but my skin is about 100% less oily and the whiteheads are maybe one or two daily. I'm going to try to take the maintenance dosage and use the regimen.

Cons:

None, really. I've noticed zero side effects.

I would reccomend this to anyone with oily skin as it did work very well on that area. Also I would say at least a 50% reduction in whiteheads. I think it would be best suited as a supplement to a regimen. I'm gonna try Dk's regimen with it.

Pros:

Reduced my body acne. T-zone less oily. Fewer breakouts on cheeks.

Cons:

Convenience

Was tempted to use accutane because nothing else worked. Started using SkinB5 6 weeks ago and the results have been better than expectd. Acne on my shoulders and back has almost cleared and my face is much less oily.

Pros:

Less deep cysts, Less oily + smaller pores. Heaps of energy!

Cons:

No nasty side effects, just the uncertainty of taking mega doses freaks me out!

Hi I am 22 and I have suffered acne since I was 13. I've tried nearly every product on the market. Been on tropical creams +differn from the dr which never helped , just caused my skin to be dry and flakey. It all just gets a bit frustrating after awhile and the search for some relief never seems to end. Was about to go on diane35, but decided to give one more shot at something less internally dangerous and its been the best decision so far!!! Taking 4g b5 tablets cut into 3 doses morning, noon and night with food( thats important or you will be rushing to the toilet), i crush my noon dose into powder form and mix it with juice for better absorption. I also have boitin 150mg zinc a mult b vitamin tablet 1000mg flaxseed oil wash my face with green french clay and moisturize with 100% aloe vera gel:)

Pros:

Easy to use, Tastes great.

Cons:

none yet

I recently posted a comment under "Acnezine" stating that i had just started to use it and that i would comment back after i had used it for a couple of months. Well it has been almost 3 months that i have been using it and it does NOT work!! what a waist of money. I stopped using it last night as my "SkinB5" arrived in the mail last night. I have heard so much positive feedback in regarsd to B5 that i thought that i would give it a try. Last night i started to use SkinB5 and so far things are looking positive. I will continue to use it and then each week report back to let you all know how its going.

Pros:

increased energy, smaller pores, less pimples, less oil

Cons:

a ton of pills, gas,

i started taking 6 grams of b5, 75 mgs of zinc, and a multi vitamin a few weeks ago. with in 2 weeks my face is showing improvment, smaller pores, less pimples, pimples that do show up are less severe & heal quickly (due to the zinc) i bumped my intake of b5 to 10 grams per day a few days ago & have noticed that my face is less oily than before. i have tried everything as well, even accutane. i am 31 and have been suffering for the past 14 years. it will be nice if the actually will cure once & for all!
