I've had great success with Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) at 5g a day. I believe people have had good results from anywhere between 2-10g a day.

People usually see improvement in 1-2 weeks, but for severe cases it may take longer.
Here's a really great read on B5 for acne:
http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3f978/B5_FAQ.html
It recommends 10-15g for acne treatment, but I've heard guys get great results from as low as 2-8g while on cycles.

I took it, did not have problems, cleared everything up right away. the only thing is you will need LOTS of chop-stick

minocycline works as well
I have tried all kind of OTC stuff, and was thinking about using Accutane but found that B5 really does help. BAC has it pretty cheap bulk powder, but I found you need to take a lot for results (10g). I have since changed to 1000mg Time-Released and can get by with 3g while off or 5g while on.
As far as a facial cleaner, the best stuff I have come across is Carley's Clear-n-Smooth. It has a mild scrub, 2% benzoyl and wont dry your skin out causing more oil. You can get it from http://www.no-acne.com/ingredients.htm

the otc shit is for 14 year girls with one pimple IMO, i tired the anti biotics and didnt help and then tired pro active and didnt help, then try b5 at 10 grams a day, YES TEN GRAMS A DAY! didnt do much then tired accutane (120mg everyday for 6 months)and it helped somewhat but THE BEST THING FOR ACNE IS GO THE DERMATOLOGST AND HAVE HIM/HER GIVE U CORTISONE INJECTIONS IN THE BIG ASS ZITS....THEY GO AWAY IN 24 HOURS! AND TANNING IS HUGE JUST DONT OVER DO IT....why i say be careful with accutane it fucks ur liver up and it can make ur joints hurt bad

CORTISONE INJECTIONS IN THE BIG ASS ZITS......yummy, i dont think i like the sound of that one. another thing to consider is high dose vitamin a. it can be toxic just like accutane, they are both made from retinol. just do some solid research on vitamin a treatment for cystic acne, there have been many clinical studies. i did 300,000 iu's per day and had good results.

Proactiv requires to much, wash, cleanse, repair 2xdaily and can add up $$. Definitely try b5 before hopping on stronger stuff, I would recommend the strongest time release stuff you can find. Just like anything, results may vary but I am having good results with Kal 1000mg TR split throughout the day. Also make sure you are drinking enough water, to help cleanse the system and keep the skin naturally moist.
Before I even started to juice I had acne. I read alot about getting rid of it on www.healthboards.com . I took 10 grams of B5 and at first I got a bad breakout(2 months into it). But then it all cleared up and I'm 100% clear now. And my acne was pretty severe too. I've been on the B-5 for 7 months now and am so glad I used it.
go w/b5 first then move upward. It is the cheapest solution by far. Take morning and nightime showers. Change bedsheets every couple of days or sleep on a towel.

The best thing for your skin is to use Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Oil soap bar, and also maybe something like Seabreeze.
The soap will not work for about a week but after that you will notice it working fast man, trust me this shit works...Get it at a salon it is about 5-6 bucks a bar. This was the only thing that worked for myself

120 mgs of accutane a day and it only helped somewhat? Damn dude, you must have it bad. The most any physician is allowed to prescribe is 80 mgs a day from what I understand. Accutane is the end of the road when it comes to acne, nothing is more powerful. BamBam
yea i wouldnt fuck with accutane it causes way to many sides..i know ppl that would just get nosebleeds out of no where....anyways i posted this about a 3 weeks ago and since then ive been tkain the b5 at like 7-8 grams a day and i will tell you that it cleared up every pimple i had on my arms and pretty quick too...im now clearer than i was b4 i started my cycle and ive never had problems with acne
no a doctor can prescirbe according to this formula, .5 mg to kg though 2 mg to kg, meaing i wiegh in at 220 lbs(100 kg) so that is normal range it says it all on the package insert, i wasnt that bad cuz i lived on cortsone injections for the big cysts weekly, so i looked pretty, and i tried all other methods like antibotics and all creams, And all my lab resluts came in good and healty so i asked for a fat huge dose, and it has worked great now, i took some time after i finished it to kick in.......tanning and cortisone injections are just as good, for scars bro 3 a few things, chem peels, TIME, and mircodermabrasion, i had a few chem peels and my skin is perfect now

Accutane can cause skin dryness. When an Accutane user's face gets dry, the skin can get dry on the inside of the nose, resulting in a nose bleed. I simply prevented these nose bleeds by putting a little bit of vaseline on the inside of my nostrils just once a week
