B-5 for Acne/Oily Skin

Written: Aug 2, 2002
Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros:Reduces oil production, smoothens texture of face
Cons:Taken in megadoses (several grams) stomach problems may occur
The Bottom Line: So far, Pantothenic acid has been very effective in reducing excessive oiliness.

I've been taking Pantothenic acid for oily skin/acne for almost two months. I read about its effects on Acne on a message board a few months ago and decided to try it. I didn't see results in the first month on 4-8 grams a day. I decided to increase my dosage to 10 grams a day and that's when I started seeing results. My face became less oily almost immediately. I feel that the texture of my face has smoothened as well while taking Pantothenic acid. I also take B-complex, a multivitamin, and vitamin C every day. If you suffer from excessive oily skin I recommend you try taking several grams of Pantothenic acid a day. Find a dosage where you can see some results and stick with it for a week or so. From there, decide if you need to increase or decrease your dosage. Don't get carried away with it though, and be patient. If you want more information on its effects, visit www.ezboard.com or www.healthboards.com and go on their acne message boards. There are hundreds of people trying B-5 for their skin conditions. Some claim it works and some claim it doesn't. It's up to you to see if it works for you.
