Hi,
i just wanted to know what type of vitamin is good for acne? I started having acne when i was 16 and now im 24, and i did take some antibiotics for 3 years , which is lymecycline and also i used benzoyl peroxide. It did work but after awhile then i stopped taking them, but the spots came back again. I decided not to take any antibotics, because it gave me side effects and the benzoyl peroxide made my skin go all dry and sensitive. I started taking vitamin C, zinc with copper, bromelain and barley grass. What i wanted to know, is vitamin B5 safe? and would it be ok for me to take it with all the vitamins i have mentioned above?
Im also drinking water mixed with praventin and aloe vera.
Thanks

I’ve been taking B5 vitamins for a few years. I’ve found that I need other facial creams to keep acne in line, but the vitamins do seem to work. If I stop taking them it always gets worse, so I keep taking them.

I’m sorry to tell you but vitamins of any kind will NOT help you get rid of acne. It is good to take vitamins, hydrate, and eat a well balanced diet, but it will not make skin problems go away. Acne is caused by hormone imbalance… overproduction of oils underneath the skin which trap dirt and bacteria, and therefore cause breakouts. The only way you can control the oil production is with prescription pills (birth control in some cases, or Accutane). I would suggest that you see a dermatologist. Topical treatments won’t help you much either because the problem is being caused from the within… you can’t control your hormones by applying topical treatments onto your skin… and that includes vitamins. Good choice on the benzoil peroxide though. That will help sanitize skin. If it’s drying than try using it less frequently, or maybe use a lower concentration.
