Thread: B5?

**daaaan** · 02-13-2006, 07:02 PM

I was wondering if B5 really does get rid of acne and if so where can I buy it?
I saw some threads about it here but I can't find them anymore.

They are probably in the AR Spa. Go in there plenty of talk about B5. It can be purchased at any local supplement shop.........

Any vitamin store will have it.. Wal-mart did not.

It is called Panththenic Acid not labeled as B5 normally. I take 2grams a day which is helping my acne a ton. Vitamin B5 is needed for our bodies to synthesize cholesterol so it will not hurt to take anyway.

Panththenic Acid has been said to aid in the treatment of Acne. I have taken up to 5g ED and never saw any added benefit.

I remember posting something similar to this in the Spa and some agreed others didnt. It's just another one of those things where it works for some and not for others................

5mg? or 5grams? I was trying to find the report that told me 2 grams is optimal. I will try to hunt it down..

I user B5 and nizoral and it controls it very well. I still get some breakouts but not newar what it was.

. You were probably like "No wonder he didnt notice a difference."

I do have to say that I've heard very good things about Nizoral..........

I wondered.. that is actually what I thought.. hahaha..

I used nizoral first and it worked pretty good but when PCT started I broke out bad and i added B5 and it cleared up in a few days (well it looked better) and now closer to 3 weeks use it is barely noticeable.

I think each person is a little different.. Gotta try it all until you find what works..

Acne sucks and even worse at my age.

I think B5 definitely works. I used it when my bacne started to get pretty bad. It didn't have much of an effect on my face as I never really had bad acne there, but after about 3 weeks of use now at 4 to 5 grams a day there is a signifigant difference. But I have also started using nizoral on a normal basis as well.
