Haven't heard of Vitamin B5 Acne Treatment?

Why hasn't more been said about vitamin B5 by the medical community or popular media?

Vitamin B5 supplements for acne are still a relatively new trend in acne treatment, only recently gaining popularity thanks mainly to word-of-mouth gossip across the internet. Even with the recent explosion of interest in vitamin B5, the rate of new users has been stifled by the fact that most people are simply not willing to try a vitamin regiment that requires taking 10-20 pills a day, even if it does work. Luckily, Clear5 makes the vitamin B5 solution much easier and therefore more accessible to a wider audience than in the past.

Not only is vitamin B5 acne treatment a new trend, but oral acne treatments in general are only now gaining interest from mainstream consumers. In the past, it was thought that since acne surfaced on the skin, you would have to treat your skin directly to get rid of it (topical treatments). It has taken many long years of people suffering through acne creams and cleansers that didn't work to finally generate enough interest in alternative methods for taking out acne.

Besides the fact that using acne vitamins is a new and unique approach, there are also some other factors contributing to the silence about vitamin B5, most of them driven by economic incentives.

For one thing, vitamin B5 is a natural vitamin, and therefore cannot be patented. This limits both the incentive to get the product FDA approved and also the incentive to base a product line around an active ingredient that other companies could simply copy.

You will notice an FDA disclaimer at the bottom of most of our pages. This disclaimer is required for nearly all natural dietary supplements. The fact is, getting a product approved by the FDA requires numerous clinical studies, usually costing millions of dollars and spanning multiple years. There is little reason for any company to go through this costly and time consuming process for the sake of a product that they cannot even patent.

Secondly, vitamin B5 is simply too effective. It could potentially cost mainstream sellers of topical acne treatments hundreds of millions in sales every year.

Currently, the world market for acne treatments brings in more than 2 billion dollars per year, the vast majority of that money coming from sales of topical treatments. The companies that sell these products would stand to lose a LOT of money if vitamin B5 were to become common knowledge. With the reduction of skin oil that results from vitamin B5, most cleansers and toners would be rendered obsolete. A single product such as Clear5 could replace "systems" of products that require customers to spend more money and make ongoing purchases from a specific brand. Simply put, vitamin B5 could change the face of the industry, and there is always resistance to change, especially when profits are at stake.

Despite these factors, vitamin B5 is gaining popularity. Some doctors are now recommending it to their patients as an alternative to the prescription drug Accutane, since B5 is known to have a similar effect without the severe side effects. Word of mouth travels fast, and we don't have to tell our customers to spread the word - they can't help but talk about it once they see the results for themselves. There is plenty of hard evidence to support the claims that B5 cures acne, from Dr. Leung's study to countless unsolicited testimonials from random users across the internet. The momentum is building, so don't expect the silence over vitamin B5 acne treatments to last for long.
