Hey buddy hang in there, don't let all these negative experiences deter you. You will have to give it at least 4-5months before you can say it does or does not work. TAKE A B50-COMPLEX, to balance your b vitamins. 10 GRAMS up until a week ago I was kind of skeptical about b5's effects. I had been so up and down, but when it was down, my skin was looking pretty bad. I decided that my skin was just way to dry and this causes acne because your skin produces more oil to hydrate the skin. Skin takes longer to heal and looks terrible if it is over dry too. So I quit the pro active, mainly because I do not need a harsh over drying cleanser when B5 eliminated the oil (cleansers are just to remove excess oil, but drys the skin like crazy if there is no oil to be removed) also a layer of BP twice a day is not really needed, I don't think, I am using BP just for spot treatments now. A lot of people love to say "B5 does'nt work for everyone, everyone is different" this is true in certian cases, but most of the time it is a defeatist attitude to justify failure. These boards are great to share experiences but peoples postings are by nature so unreliable because results are based on unscientific experiments. Think about it, people try to make connections some times that just do not make sense in the slightest manner. I am in the same boat, wanting to try everything possible, but people have to use judgement. "Just because you took the bus to work yesterday instead of driving like you ussualy do and also had two new large zits on you forehead the next day, does not mean that public transportation is the cause of acne, and by driving to work in the future" you can cure your acne. There are so many variables to consider. This is of course just a silly analogy to show the connections which people try to make that just do not exist. I hope you guys understand what I am trying to get at here, just take all the info and make a good decision for yourself, carfull not to try new things, or avoid new things based on some peoples one time experiments.

Age :23 I had acne since : 13 but cleared up from 16-23 until I switched BC pills Type of acne :moderate/severe acne Cause if acne (if knowen):hormonal, I suppose since it flared up dramatically when I switched pills. Do you have acne in other places of your body :a bit on my arms and chest Oil production : t-zone B5 brand :GNC how many gram/day :6 how long you use B5: 3 months NOW SUBMIT YOUR RESULTS: EXCELLENT... I also take Zinc, b50 complex, Vit A, C and E and fish oils. My face has cleared up about 90%. Oil production is NORMAL now as it was severly dry and irritated from all the topicals I tried.

Age: 22 I had acne since: 16 Type of acne: Moderate/severe Cause: More than likely my hormones Do you have acne in other places of your body: had on my back but rare and mild. Oil production: Used to be alot, now close to none. B5 Brand: Acnemiracle B-5 Powder Grams/day: 10 How long have you used B-5: 5 months RESULTS: -Started in Sept 2002 Had a intial breakout, bad with cysts then cleared up well gradually till I was almost completely clear in Jan 2003 I had a bad breakout again, lasted all month and into Feb a bit. Now I am getting a decrease in acne again. -At first it was bad then gradually I healed and broke out bad, its happening again and so maybe in a month or so it will be a full 6 months and I should be pretty clear if my face continues like it is for the past week or so.

Aziz, Ya don't stop uising it, just remembe that things go and down for a while on it. Just remember it may take months, even if you see initial results. Some people clear up early and stay that way, but alot do not for many months, with ups and downs. Those that quit early are the ones with the terribe failure stories. And all those minor side effects you hear about, those are the people who don't take a b-complex. So take a b50-complex IP: Logged |

Been taking B5 at 10g for a 2+ mos. Moved down to 8g of B5 for the last 2-3 mos. Had been taking daily multi-vitamin the whole time. Just recently started taking B-complex 50 (should have been taking the whole time, I suspect). Starting to notice some minor hair thinning. Got me concerned, so I also started taking 3g of Biotin each day a few days ago. Question: do people take a B complex 50 with each dose of B5 throughout the day, or just one B complex each day?

Take the B5 about 15 before eating. Take it with Biotin (biotin is needed in the utilization of pantothenic acid) Take with a full glass of water. Sometime during the day take a Bcomplex vitamin. NOT with the B5. Certain other B vitamins hinder the absorbion of B5. I'm 22, I have had Bad acne since I was 17. You might notice how a lot of the peopl in this thread no longer post here. hmmmm?

quote: Um, a site called All Star Health has a huge selection of vitamins at very reasonable prices. Also a site called My Health Pro has the same prices as the first site. (500mg, 200 caps @ $12.47 There are a lot more that have extreamly cheap, but good quality products. The shipping isn't usually bad either. IP: Logged |
