After a bit of research on the best way to combat acne i came across a study that claims 8-10 grams of B5 powder daily is the most effective treatment. So i bought this B5 powder and took 10 grams on my first try.... big mistake colonic irrigation has nothing on this stuff! If you want to use the recommended 8-10 grams from the study i would suggest using 3 grams (one level mp small scoop) per day for one week to see how your body handles it then up the dose to two scoops daily the second week and three from the third week onwards B5 powder does not mix well in cold water in doses of 3 grams and upwards it just clumps and tastes revolting. After a bit of experimentation i have found that boiling water dissolves it almost instantly add to this an even amount of your favourite squash and this makes for a far more palatable warm drink.

"early days yet, only been taking it for a couple of weeks but I can see the difference already. Better than any other treatment I have tried so far, anti-biotics, topical lotions etc.....I have been mixing approx 10g in four 500ml bottles of squash and drinking them throughout the day (started on half the amount of powder to begin with to get use to it). doesn't taste too bad at all in squash."

This is the worst tasting thing i ever drank. Cant argue with the results though!!

"Make a 2ltr bottle of squash add 4 small scoops to it, shake it up and allow to disolve over 5 mins, now drink that throughout the day. I add 1 scoop to my protien shakes also, oily skin and spots are completely gone, love this stuff!"

"Im 18 and have suffered from acne from the age of 13, and oily skin from 16. Iv used all of the ""over the counter"" and prescription meds (both GP and dermatolgist) apart from Accutane. I can control my acne, by oily skin is the problem. Iv tried B5 before as tablets, but couldnt only swallow 8x 500mg (4grams) before feeling ill. That reduced my acne/oily skin, but not completely. Now i can take 8grams (recommended dose for oily skin) of B5 in 2 minutes mixed with fruit juice (it tastes like mank if mixed with water)"
