Vitamin B5's acne clearing power is just becoming known to more and more acne sufferers who have decided to try it because nothing commonly found on the market works - they are just empty promises, full of chemicals and does not treat acne at the real source.

Real evidence and growing number of success stories are proving the AMAZING acne clearing power of Vitamin B5 as the BEST acne treatment that actually works! Vitamin B5 may be regarded as the ultimate acne cure. Vitamin B5 reduces excess skin oil, which is the major acne causing factor, plus it improves skin texture and reduces pore size. Fantastic results are seen within 1-3 weeks, depending on the individual.

Word of Caution: Be very careful which Vitamin B5 based acne treatment you choose to take. You will notice that there are only a handful of Vitamin B5 supplement for acne and only one brand has government registration.

It is easier than you think to recognise a trustworthy brand:

This is very important! Purchasing a product that has undergone proper government reviews of the producers, ingredients and acne treatment claims which are required to be supported by professionally recognised medical evidence means that you can rest assured that that the acne product is not just a basket of empty promises.

In addition, the government registration process also requires that product manufacturing processes have met stringent International GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines to ensure the safety and quality of the internal acne treatment.

Time Release formulation is very important because Vitamin B5, and Vitamin Bs in general, are water soluble, meaning the body cannot store them. An 8-hour time release formula delivers water soluble vitamins and minerals in a controlled manner over an 8-hour period to ensure that a steady amount of acne clearing nutrients are available to the body around the clock, whereas with a non-time realise formulation allows most of the water soluble nutrients to flood through the body and largely goes to waste via urination. This explains why some Vitamin B5 brands will ask you to take up to 20 capsules (10 grams of B5 a day), and that is insane! No to mention is a waste of money because B5 is not cheap..

With a good time release formulation, no more than 3 grams of B5 is required a day. This is considered to be a much safer level of daily Vitamin B5 consumption. Moreover, a daily dose of 3 grams of B5 is in line with what professional handbook on clinical nutrition recommends (click link to read the related extract from The Physicians Handbook of Clinical Nutrition which is used as textbook in naturopathic studies).

Also, only the best supplement producers in the world have the hi-tech capability to product proper time release formulations because government agencies require producers to provide scientific evidence to show that their formulation indeed slowly releases a steady level of vitamins and minerals to the body over an 8-hour period.

While the internal treatment is working hard to cure acne at its roots, we cannot afford not looking after our skin externally with mild and soothing skincare products. Acne prone skin needs extra TLC. Look for skincare products that contain soothing ingredients for inflamed, oily skin. For example, Aloe Vera has an amazing skin healing power.

A good skincare regime will make sure that our skin is tip top condition and well protected against the harsh environmental elements - dehydrated and un-replenished skin will age very fast!

A gentle cleanser is essential. Look for a non-drying formulation with no harsh chemicals.

After a good gentle cleanse, apply an oil-free, light weight moisturiser with naturally derived ingredients - fantastic for those with very oily skin and will rehydrate the skin while allows it to breathe. For those with combination or dry skin types, apply a small amount of good quality natural skin oil over the moisturiser. Yes, this is correct! Natural oil blends specifically designed for the skin is an amazing moisturiser and anti-wrinkle trick! The skin oil acts as a shield or barrier against the dehydrating external elements, and it works to keep moisture inside the skin!

A chemical free clay mask also works wonder as a weekly or monthly treatment - it draws out and absorbs the dirt and oil build-up that is buried deep in skin pores which bacteria feed on. It is also a gentle way to exfoliate at the same time you are removing the clay mask.
