I heard fantastic things about their b5 gel. has anyone tried their "acnecure gel" though? That item also has excellent ingredients in it including b5. wondering if anyone has tried that yet.

See my other post. I have no idea about that one. I almost wish someone would try it, just to see if it works and report back to us on its effectiveness.

Hi, I used the acnecure gel, it left my face into an oil slick because of the natural oils in it. I was putting it on i thin layers but that still didn't do the trick. The shipping for the company is also bad.

Um, aren't most Gels oily,greasy,or leave some sort of residue anyways?? That's why it's called gel? instead of being scared crapless, maybe you should have tried it for a while just to give it a chance to see if it works.your not really that good of a testimonial.

Tigermomma i tried using it just at night only for about a week and a half, still didn't do the trick. It left me lots of oily clogged pores.
Papajohns as for, you sound like you work for those people. I also read that someone on an differnt boards had the same experinece as me with the acnecure gel.
I used the gel for a long period of time, still didn't do the trick.

Well, notice that we did take two different B5 gels, and his/hers was NOT the one with the 20% pantothentic acid as the primary ingredient--that one was emu oil in the acnecure, and mine was the B5 gel. So really, what all of you are saying has truth to it. The point is that B5 gel, not acnecure gel, used only a couple times a week for 8 hours or so at a shot will make a dramatic improvement in bringing up clogged pores. You do NOT have to use it 24/7 because yes it does contain oil as well as having the effect of pulling up more oil--up and out of your skin--which if your skin is already oily can be a bit much to be doing 24/7--and as a gel, it can leave some residue even after washing (you can tell because your skin will be very soft). That's what's great about this gel--it can be applied only a few times a week and you'll experience a dramatic difference nonetheless. Think of it as similar to a mask you put on, except that you leave this on for 8 hours, not l5 to 30 minutes. It treats, but doesn't have to be on your skin everyday. Just a few treatments a week yield marvelous results. On the rest of those days you can put whatever you like on your skin, or nothing. The every other day application overnight increases my oil just enough to keep my pores open and cleared out. I don't even need to use it more than that, so I couldn't say what a daily, 24/7 application would do. Maybe the oil would eventually decrease, but I haven't tried that or been on it long enough to know. Application one yielded results in itself though, so you should know in no time if this works for you. Every application since has been similar: many deposits of hard sebum came out. My pores have all cleared dramatically, many completely healed and shrunk now, and all this from only using it every other day or even every third day.
