That sounds like what happened to me. I rarely got those before, but during my initial B5 breakout those are the type that I started getting. It only lasted for 1 to 2 weeks for me, then I started clearing up. A month later things were great.

>which b complex should i get

I don't think the brand matters much. Any brand should be fine. You do have to decide between, for instance, B-50 or B-100... A B-50 Complex vitamin contains 50mg of most of the B vitamins. A B-100 would contain 100mg instead. Personally, I just take a dose of B-50 Complex a day.

You mentioned changing the type of B5 product you're taking... Whatever you end up getting and using, be sure you always make sure you order it well in advance of running out, so you don't accidently run out waiting for more to be delivered. In the beginning, you need to take B5 consistently and the same amount each day, regardless of what type it is or where you got it from.

Ok, just a reminder. Take B5 with WATER. I don't care what you drink the rest of the day, but when your taking your B5, use water. a full glass.
ALSO, take Biotin WITH the B5. Biotin is another B vitamin. Its a medical fact that Biotin aids in the utilization of pantothenic Acid (B5) Folic Acid, B12, and Protein.
Biotin makes you grow strong hair. However, when you take B5 in large doses, any biotin you have is used for B5, and this can cause weaker hair growth. I think many people have the side effect of hairloss because they starved their body of Biotin.
You only need to take a little with every B5 dose. Around 600mcg (really small, 6mg) and that's it.
