Vitamin B5 Acne FAQ

What percentage of people see results from vitamin B5 treatment?

 

In Dr. Leung's clinical study, over 90% of B5 users experienced almost total remission of acne. There's an excellent chance Clear5 will work for you. The most common reasons for failure are:

1.

Taking too low of a dosage. The recommended dosage is based upon average acne severity. If you start out low and do not see results within 2 weeks, you may need a higher dosage. Remember to spread out your packets throughout the day (morning and night) for best results.

2.

Not sticking with a daily regimen. Especially during the first month, you need to stick to your regimen every day! Our easy-to-drink B5 acne formula makes this far easier than mega-dosing.

3.

Irritating your skin with topical acne treatments. It's perfectly safe to use Clear5 alongside topical treatments, but if you find these products are causing dry skin, irritation or other negative reactions, you're better off without them. For more information, check out our page on topical acne treatments.

Note: Vitamin B5 is sensitive to heat. To maintain effectiveness, keep Clear5 stored in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.

 

 

Are there any side effects to vitamin B5?

 

Vitamin B5 is all-natural and water-soluble. It has never exhibited any level of toxicity, even at extremely high intakes. For the vast majority of Clear5 users, the only effect is clear skin. A few temporary side effects may effect some individuals:

 

- Stomach irritation or diarrhea (Some people experience this as a temporary condition while your stomach adjusts to the increased levels of B5. Any discomfort usually disappears after just a few days. It is recommended that you take our supplements with meals and plenty of water in order to reduce the risk of these side effects. If persistent, reduce your dosage.)

 

All known side effects are temporary. If you are allergic or hyper-sensitive to any of our ingredients, or experience any other side effects, lower your dosage or discontinue taking Clear5. Use only as directed.

 

 

Is it safe to combine Clear5 with other medications?

 

Yes, it is perfectly safe to use Clear5 alongside other medications, but be aware that if topical treatments are agitating your skin it may be working against your progress. B5 is also good alternative treatment if you are looking to avoid or quit taking prescription acne treatments.

 

 

What about the other ingredients in Clear5?

 

Our formula includes a unique ratio of supporting vitamins and minerals that enhance the effects of vitamin B5 while reducing the risk of side effects. Each of these ingredients plays an important role. For instance, zinc aids in the regulation of your oil glands and Biotin works together with vitamin B5 to enhance metabolism while promoting healthy hair and nails. Visit our ingredients page for a full list of all the vitamins and minerals found in Clear5. Information on many of these ingredients can also be found in our vitamins guide.

 

 

Is it safe to use Clear5 if you are pregnant?

 

Currently there is not enough research to determine vitamin B5's effects on pregnancy (if any). Because of this, we recommend that pregnant mothers do not use Clear5.

 

 

Is Clear5 effective for adults as well as teenagers?

 

Definitely. Clear5 works equally well to stop both teenage and adult acne. In fact, a large percentage of our customers are adults. You may want to read our guide on understanding adult acne in order to find out more about this condition.

 

 

Is Clear5 effective in fighting body acne as well as facial acne?

 

Yes, one of the best things about Clear5 is that it eliminates acne over your whole body in one step! Vitamin B5 is effective at stopping back and body acne as well as facial breakouts. However, B5's main strength is in prevention, so there are some extra steps you may want to take to make sure that you get rid of current body acne as fast as possible. Check out our guide to back and body acne.

 

 

Are there any other vitamins that can increase the effectiveness of B5?

 

Some vitamins may aid in B5 intake. However, others may actually diminish the effectiveness of vitamin B5. It is not recommended that you take large doses of other vitamins while using Clear5. In order to best supplement Clear5, we recommend a once-daily multivitamin or B-complex. This will help ensure you get a proper balance of all your daily vitamins and minerals.

 

 

Can I get an initial break-out from using Clear5?

 

This is not a problem for most people, but in some cases the action of vitamin B5 tightening your pores can actually push existing bacteria to the surface, causing a break-out. If this happens to you, stick with it! Once the existing acne is out of your system your skin will naturally clear up.

 

 

Other B5 regimens require 10 grams a day to be effective. How can you promise the same results with an average of only 2-3 grams a day?

 

Because of methods that Clear5 use to deliver the vitamins to your body. Your body can only absorb a limited amount from typical vitamin tablets or capsules at a given time, and the excess vitamin B5 ends up getting flushed right out of you. We solve this problem by using both high-absorbance liquid vitamins and time-released tablets which gradually deliver the B5 over a period of about 6 hours. Thus, we are able to offer a treatment that provides all the benefits of mega-dosing, without all the hassle.

 

 

I'm mostly clear, but I still have problem areas around my neckline, etc.

 

Even the best internal treatments cannot help you if you're damaging yourself on the outside. This particular problem typically afflicts men with sensitive skin who irritate their skin through poor shaving habits. See our page on shaving advice for men with sensitive skin. Also, be aware that some other popular acne treatments (such as those that include benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid) can actually cause sensitive skin. Note that a similar problem can occur for users who experience acne along their hairline due to hair gel clogging your pores. Always take your skin into consideration.

 

 

Can I lose weight because of vitamin B5?

 

This generally only happens with high-dose users, but yes, vitamin B5 can aid your body in metabolizing more than just skin oil. In large doses it can sometimes increase your digestive metabolism. This is why some people who mega-dose find that they are constantly hungry, and lose weight if they don't eat more. At this level you're probably taking more B5 than is necessary to stop acne, but some people may not view this as a problem.

 

 

Another website said that taking vitamin B5 for acne is dangerous...

 

Simply put, there is absolutely no scientific evidence for any dangerous side effects resulting from vitamin B5, even at levels well above our recommended dose. Unfortunately, some of our competitors have no problem spreading misinformation to promote their own products or "acne secrets" ebooks. Some side effects may cause temporary discomfort, but these do not last long, and it's medically impossible for B5 to stay in your system and have any negative long-term effects. Clear5 is especially safe since it does not require users to mega-dose.
