Pros:

No more oily face!
Helping with my acne..

Cons:

None so far!

Iam updating my review, i reviewed b5 3 months ago wen i started using it.. So its been 3 month today that i have been taking b5. I started with 500mg and then went up to 1 gram.. I kepted goin up a gram every 2 to 3 weeeks and now im at 4 grams. Im really excited to have reached my 3 months because i have read that it take about 3 months to actually see results.. But i used to get alot of cysted acne on my cheeks and smaller whiteheads on my chon area.. Maybe 2 weeks ago i started to actually see my skin to start clearing up.. I have no cysts on my face right now but i do have a couple of smaller pimples but nothing like i used to get.. I will not go more than 4 grams, im scared of mega dosing..I am goin to give it another 3 months on 4 grams and hope for my skin to be completely clear by then.. Fingers crossed!! As soon as my face is clear i will start lowring my dosage.. Btw i take 4 500mg with my lunch with a b-complex and 4 500mg with my dinner with a multi-vitamin.. And i take a biotin with my breakfast too cuz i have read about hair loss.. So good luck to all of you hope my review helped and i will post again after 3 more months to share my results..

Pros:

Really helps with acne

Allows you to eat whatever you want without worrying

Cons:

Can be pricey... I buy mine from Puritan's Pride

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) has really helped me get rid of my acne. Had acne for 4 or 5 years and nothing worked, so I decided to try vitamins. Pantothenic Acid really helped, and has kept me clear long enough for all redness to have (nearly) disappeared. I have always used it with a multivitamin, so I am a firm believer in a natural approach to acne prevention. I definitely recommend this.

Pros:

cleared skin and scars, no oil, brightens complexion

Cons:

none

I have Vit b5 pantothenic acid time release, just one a day of 500mg. I had moderate skin problems for four years and just one of these tablets a day after two weeks has completely changed my skin. Even healing old scars I had on other parts of the body and noticed any bruising disappears in couple of days at most. No need to take hundreds of tablets a day because the vitamin is slowly released over an 8 hour period. Fantastic! From Uk, cost £7.00 for 100 tablets.

Pros:

EVERYTHING!

Cons:

gas and diahrrea when you first start taking it

Bottom Line: This stuff changed my life! If I could be a spokesperson for Vitamin B5,(Pantothenic Acid) I would do it for free! If you faithfully stick to the program (which I know can be hard), I promise you it will work! I struggled with acne for 7 years and have tried everything! This, along with topical use of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar before bedtime, has dramatically turned my skin around. It has taken 4-5 months, but be patient. You will so happy with the results!

Pros:

really helps with the oily skin

Cons:

none

I have been taking B5 for 2 weeks now, and I have seen a difference in my skin already. I only have mild acne, so I take 3 grams a day (6/500 mg pills). At first I started with only 2 grams for the first week, but then I noticed the oily skin was still the same, so Idecided to increase to 3 grams. It really works.

Pros:

Quick, easy and it works!

Cons:

None

Into my 6th week of taking SkinB5 tablets and the results have been much better than expected. I was taking a different B5 brand for about 2 years, but I got sick of taking 20 pills a day, so I decided to try, SkinB5's Time Release Tablets. The results have blown me away. A must try for every person with stubborn acne!

Pros:

Regulates oily skin overnight.

Cons:

You have to take a lot of pills

I took 4 B5 capsules and 1 vitamin A and I could see a noticeable difference in the oiliness of my skin the very next day. I have VERY oily skin. So bad that I my face would look wet all day long. So it was very easy to notice the difference. I actually have a habit of wiping my face to remove the oil, and I went to do that yesterday and noticed that there was no oil there. My husband even noticed the difference. My goal is to control the oiliness, not to cure acne. I am currently using Retin-A at night and Duac benzoyyl peroxide cream in the morning and it controls my acne pretty well. But they did nothing for the oiliness. Bottom line, B5 works!!!

Pros:

This product is easy to use and i dont have to spend time putting anything on my face. I was hesitant at first and to be honest, i didn't believe drinking a vitamin supplement would clear my skin but it did within about 4 days. Instead of putting chemicals on my face im drinking a supplement filled with the vitamins designed for what my pores need and i love how by drinking two 2oz. bottles a day my face is clearer than ever. Its easy and it works.

Cons:

There are no real cons with this product. You drink this product so while it dose have a tangy flavor you can taste the vitamins but after putting it in my fridge it being cold takes a lot of the vitamin taste away. It is more expensive than past products that ive used but i see real results now and that makes it all worth it.

Bottom line is that i love this product. It has really cleared my face and now after taking it for over 3 weeks my face is continuing to look better and i even notice some of my scaring from acne looking less noticeable. I cant imagine going back to creams and topical cleansers.

Pros:

Good for reducing oil on skin.

Cons:

Dry, cracked lips

Great results. Been using this for a month. I have extremely oily skin, with acne on my face, back and arms. I was previously on accutance/antibiotiocs. After stopping for 2 years, my oily skin and acne came back. I didn't want to go back on accutane, as its given my some crazy side effects (scarring), so I searched for alternatives. I came across an article on Vitamin b5, and said hey why not? I thought is was a scam at first, but Vitamin b5 has worked to reduce oil and acne on my skin.
