Clear5 and All-in-1
While the vast majority of our sales at Acne Vitamins are for our newer Clear5 brand, we still sell our original All-in-1 formula as well. Why do we choose to keep All-in-1 in stock? And why do some customers still prefer it? Well, there are a few reasons why All-in-1 may actually be more effective for some individuals. Unlike Clear5 that contains supplemental ingredients besides vitamin B5, All-in-1 is nothing but pure time-released B5. Also, instead of 500mg at 100 tablets per bottle, All-in-1 is 1000mg at 50 tablets per bottle. Because different individual’s bodies may be more or less efficient at processing vitamins, some users (especially those that require a higher dose) may have a higher absorbance rate when taking pure B5. The larger tablets also ensure a slightly longer time-release period (which is what I would assume plays the largest factor).
In our shopping cart, All-in-1 is still listed as the top seller, but this can be a little misleading since we had been selling it for nearly a year before Clear5 was introduced (which is rapidly catching up). For new customers I always recommend starting with Clear5, as it works great for most people and is much easier to take at the smaller size. Clear5 is also more convenient since the added ingredients really help in most cases. We do recommend at least three intake times per day since the time-release doesn’t last quite as long for the smaller pills (limits of the technology), but at 3-4 intake periods most users actually have a higher absorbance rate and faster results. So yes, Clear5 is definitely recommended for most users, but there are definitely some cases where All-in-1 is still the right choice, and so Acne Vitamins will continue to stock both.
