I've noticed over the years cosmetic brands (Murad for example) marketing "magic skin pills" but it seems like a lot of these brands are just repackaging and marketing a multivitamin...Marketing at its finest I suppose? đ

@@labrujasuspiros you are ridiculous
Anecdotally, I can say that this works. I didnât use the supplement youâre talking about, I used pantothenic acid 500mg with no other additives. My skin was mostly clear within 7-10 days. I still take it when I get breakouts and they clear within 2-3 days. Pantothenic acid + topical tretinoin + appropriate skin care = the best remedy for adult hormonal acne that I have ever found.
How many did you take each day
đđđđ
Hi can i ask how many pills did you take each da
Hey how many do you take?
It 100% worked for me, too. Previously my derm had me try salicylic acid initially (2 months), then some other topical steroid type treatments and some expensive face washes (2 more months), then antibiotics (Doxycycline) and Epiduo (2 more months). It just got progressively worse and he ended up suggesting Accutane. So I said no, and went to search online and found B5. I was scared at first because people were taking so many, but I was desperate so I bought some. I took 5 morning, 5 afternoon, 5 nighttime, 500mg B5, any brand. I used no treatments, no soap, no moisturiser, no SPF. After 2 weeks I stopped getting new cysts. I carried on for 1 month, and my skin was *completely* clear, after the second month even my scars were nearly 100% gone. I slowly cut down, 10 daily for month 3, 5 daily for month 4, 2 daily for month 5, then nothing for month 6. My skin is finally 100% clear, and has remained this way for 2 years. I have periods of stress where I get a few pimples, and I just take 5 per day for a maximum of 5 days and it clears up immediately. Now I don't spend a penny on acne 'treatments'. I have a Cerave cleanser, and a Cerave moisturiser with SPF, which tbh I do not stick to with a strict routine or anything. Some people complain of hair thinning or hair loss, but I had no symptoms from taking B5.
acne sufferer for 20 years. Took B5 starting in January 2020 and within a week I noticed a reduction in acne. Took B5 for 6 months, acne was completely gone! Stopped taking B5 for several months and acne progressively returned. Began retaking it before end of 2020 till now and acne is pretty much gone. I strongly believe it works for my skin.
how many did u take daily?
how many did you take
Same here! I stopped bc I began to have âsilent refluxâ, and stopped this supplement to see if it was causing it. My acne became worse almost immediately after I stopped.
How much do you take ?????
He can't hear y'all, he's ascended. When you banish acne the Lord welcomes you home immediately, having discovered the 3rd purpose of life.
Pantothenic acid cleared my cystic acne completely . The pill, spirinolactone and doxycycline all stopped working so this was my last ditch effort . Havenât gotten a break out since đđŒ

Hi thanks for sharing what brand do you use?
Omg.. I've been on everything and B5 is my last resort. How many did you take? (What was your dosage/routine)?
how many do you take ?
omg! how many did you take??
I like how detailed you are this is exactly the information I wanted. Thank you!
Something else I had never heard of. Thanks for this very interesting information! You've educated me on so many topics and its greatly appreciated. I only wish I could repay you somehow for sharing your knowledge so freely. You're awesome! Happy Monday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a restful evening. â€
I love your videos so much Dr. Dray! I've struggled with severe acne, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation as well as eczema and other skin conditions. Your videos have helped me so much (in conjunction with visiting my own dermatologist)! You inspire me so much! I was just accepted into medical school (I start this July) and my ultimate goal is to become a dermatologist as well. I know it'll be a tough journey but I am so ready!
Congratulations and the best of luck! đ

Dr. Dray, you are world class. I love all your videos. So informative.
Iâd love to see more of those studies on your chanel. Theyâre soo interesting đ; moreover, youâre excellent at explaining them â€ïž.
In my experience pantothenic acid, evening primrose oil, vitamin a and zinc supplements along with differin and a lot of dr drays advice finally cleared up my cystic 10 year long acne!!! I now take only a few pills a month Ă nd my skin is still clear a year later!!
That's great. I had small pimples in my teens, but got bad cystic acne in my 20s, on very dry facial skin. It was hormonal, so after a while of trying to deal with it on my own, easily solved with the help of a dermatologist, my GP and a gynecologist as I was put on a very low dose birth control pill (for other issues too), and that cleared it up. I didn't even need to take a heavy duty birth control pill (they used to prescribe "Diane" for this).
Please be careful with zinc supplements - they need to be taken in intervals because they interfere with the absorption of iron.
@@lovely7983 If that's a recommendation from you, then that is super dangerous. But hey, you do you. Not my business what you do with your own body.
Yeah primrose is good đ it messed up my cycle a little bit though
@@lovely7983 It *still* needs to go past your kidneys. If it doesn't, that is the more healthy approach, for sure!
Dr. Dray, would you consider linking the studies you reference in your subscription box like you used to? I always appreciated reading those too.

Glad you liked it!
Iâve been taking panthothenic acid for about 2 years now. My acne has drastically improved. I still have scars with occasional hormonal breakouts but nowhere near what I had to deal with before. I highly recommend it along with all dr. Drays suggestions for oily acne prone skin.
Same! It is truly awesome!
did you experience hair loss?

Hey Dr. Dray! I was wondering if you've done any videos on the use of epidermal growth factor for treating acne? I would love a video on this! Thank you đ„°
She's done a videos on growth factor serums/egf. I believe Cassandra Bankson has a video on the epidermal growth factor and includes acne.
I always appreciate your professional opinion. B5 did stop the hormonal acne I was suffering from flares of twice a month. I had zero expectations of it working, but it did. I donât take the crazy amounts I that I see some others are taking either. Itâs in my daily multivitamin (5mg) and then I take 250mg of B5 in a separate capsule. I was taking two capsules to start but I found just one daily was as effective. I did and still do eat a well balanced diet, but for whatever reason even eating those B5 rich foods was not helping.
In my opinion, itâs no different than you taking supplements necessary because you choose to be vegan. Sometimes we need a little extra help because our foods are not enough. For me, B5 supplements definitely worked, and I continue to have success with it.
Works for me too!đ
Which brand do you take?
@@laciavinquez GNC store brand. I have tried others off of Amazon but I swear they were counterfeit, they didnât work. So I just stick to what Iâm sure of.
Which multivitamin do you use?
â@@Stephanie-cq8mf Does it really help with oiliness of the skin, by just taking fewer amounts of the pills?
Thanks for your insight into B5 supplements. I was taking them for a while, until the brand I bought stopped producing the B5 by itself. Thankfully my skin doesn't seem to need it anymore. I eat all of the yummy foods listed anyway. I am now inspired to make a batch of lentil soup to store in the freezer in individual serves. My favorite way to eat broccoli is to lightly spray it with extra virgin olive oil with lots of slivers of fresh garlic. Cover, and steam it in the microwave (no water needed) until it is cooked..but not too soft! (I criss-cross cut the thicker ends of the florets first). The color becomes nice & bright. No salt, optional cracked black pepper. I can eat a whole bowl of it this way. đ±ââïžâ€đ„Šđ„Šđ„Š
Yum, that sounds so good!! đđđŒ
Thank you for the B12 information. I've been taking B12 supplements due to being vegan and noticed I've been having acne breakouts lately, might stop to see if it clears up.
Did it?

Happy Monday Reed đ
Thank You!! Happy Monday!! Have a Fantastic Day!!
Oooh love that I have a skin-care item heading to my address with this ingredient. (The Rovectin Activating Lotion). :D
I try to get nutrients from my food, making sure to eat liver a couple of times a week. That way everything is the actual nutrient, not a lab copy and is in the right ratios. The only supplement I take is vitamin C and that definitely has a beneficial effect on my skin, especially my keratosis pilaris. It has improved so much that its almost completely gone. Would recommend it, as well as lowering carbohydrates as they definitely adversely effect the skin.
You are the bomb. I have essentially lifelong acne s/p 2 rounds of Accutane and still suffering. Appreciate the info.
maybe hormonal acne...
Hi Dr.Dray!
Can you please review Origins Cosmetics? I currently use a lot of their products, especially the âPlantscriptionâ line.
Thank you
Happy Monday Dr Dray... see you tomorrow xđđ€©
I know in this case you're talking about an ingestible supplement of Panthothenic acid and rightly so, considering the other additions, it's hard to pin-point precisely whether it's the Panthothenic acid that's actually having a beneficial effect, but I recently started using Bepanthen (nappy care ointment) on my face at night. It contains Panthenol and I've noticed a considerable reduction in breakouts and spots :)
Happy Monday!!
Thank You!! Happy Monday To You Too!! Have a Great Day!!
Iâm 51 and adding this supplement a year ago significantly decreased my acne that Iâve had issues with since a teenager. It also increases acne again on a couple occasions that I slacked off on taking it. Iâve tried everything and this helped tremendously!
Me too! đ
I was wondering if youâd ever cover this!!!!
True
Dr Dray, can you please do a video on how to get rid of hyperpigmentation and dark spots on the back?
omg thank you for making this !! i requested it a couple weeks ago haha ive been taking vitamin b5 since last year and my skin has never looked better (also upgrading my skincare routine and repairing my moisture barrier helped too)

Witch supplement do you take exactly? Also have you seen improvement in your skin texture?
@@Aeasthetic i take the NOW brand 250 capsules 500 mg each. i have noticed a difference in skin texture i feel very smooth but i also incorporated the ordinary's retinol 0.2% in squalane so it could be that too
did you notice any hair loss? ive seen a lot of people noting that it was a huge side effect for them
@@kennedy5352 i dont think i have, i have a ton of head hair so i havent noticed anything. i think when people take up to 10 pills a day the side effects come thru. i havent noticed any side effects from taking 6 a day (but everyone is different!!)
I have type 1 rosacea and found B5 is the most helpful for reducing my redness. I used to have a hyaluronic b5 serum and I thought the HA was doing the work, but since using LRP cicaplast I'm thinking its been the B5 all along!
B5 helps with Rosacea đ
Thanks for mentioning that. I was starting to wonder about rosacea and B5 as I was listening to all the talk of curing acne with it. I have a little bit of both so worth a shot.
This stuff saved my skin after 28 years of acne and nothing working. I wish more people knew about this.
How much time did I take ? Iâm 3 weeks in and I donât see any improvement im getting very sad
@@margauxlps9840 how much are you taking? Iâm taking 4 pills 4 times a day took a full month to completely clear my skin.
@@margauxlps9840some places say 12 or 15 a day, it could be hormonal too, so acne is multifactorial... consider that, stoping dairy would be good most times..
What are your thoughts on the purito sleeping pack? I haven't really seen any reviews on it.
Iâve been wondering about this since itâs typically found with niacinamide, often marketed for acne prone skin.
thanks for watching
It has been a long time since I suffered with acne breakouts which for the most part was in my teens and twenties. I do know that whenever I bulked up my green vegetable intake, my skin was much clearer along with other benefits like having better sleep at night and more energy during the day. :)

Itâs true, biotin gave me and my best friend acne and my BFF never had acne! We both took it to grow our hair but had to unfortunately stop taking it. But I gotta say that pantothenic acid really helped me with my acne, I saw results in just less than a week!! Also you should take it with zinc, vitamin a, d, c and niacinamide. :)

Dr Dray your skin is getting more and more beautiful each day. Thank you for this very informative video.
It would be interesting to see the diet of the study participants. If it's healthy or not. I could see this product working well for those who eat processed/ junk food.
Iâm 23 year old female, always struggled with acne, mostly hormonal. I tried birth control for acne and that worked, but I noticed too many negative side effects being on the pill. After I stopped the pill my acne came back, then I tried B5 supplements, I strayed taking 4 after every meal and then cut it back to 4 each day. It cleared my acne really well, I still have skin texture but as for pimple I have none. Iâve been on it for 2 months. Once I ran out and didnât have it for a month and my pimples came back, so I started again. I havenât notice any problems, I do keep a clean diet and drink a lot of water.
Iâve seen B5 (as Calcium Pantothenate) added into facial serums said to be hydrating, what are your thoughts on this being used topically? Would it be Useful like niacinamide or likely unnoticeable?
Yes! I started using LP cicaplast Baum B5 on your rec and it is like motherâs milk. I love it so much. Thanks Dr Dray đ
It's so good!
It actually saved my skin I pretty much bathe in it every day
Same!! Along with a shower/bath filter eating more veg and water as well as avoiding milk and sugar anddd using thermal water before my b5 moisturiser too

Greetings Naddy N hope u r well n Happy Mondayđđđ....
My son tried pantothenic acid (B5) and it completely cleared his skin from acne when nothing else worked. He takes it every day to keep it clear. I canât speak for anyone else but in my sons situation it worked 100%. He takes 4 of the 500mg pills 3 times a day probably until heâs done with puberty. I read that when a male is going through puberty they need b5 for the sex hormone and the body will redirect it away from the skin if it doesnât have enough of it so basically the skin takes the hit if the body doesnât have enough.
Thank you Amy for sharing this about your son and Dr Dray for this great video. I too am trying to help my son who broke our after a stressful leg fracture. Dermatologist said it had nothing to do with the leg fracture (which I donât agree with at all). I wanted to ask if your son was on antibiotics when taking the pantothenic acid?

Can you recommend something for me to try? I already use CeraVe moisturizing cream for my face but need something more...

@@db-gb5xi ok thank you đ
Yes, as âd bâ mentioned, Andrea has a number of EXCELLENT videos for those of us with maturing skin đđđŒ. I have a specific recommendation for you to try on the skin around your eyes and anywhere else where your skin is dry, and that is the Lipikar Baume AP+M from LaRoche-Posay. It is so, so good! I use it over my entire face and neck (including my eyes,) every night, and honestly, my skin has *never* looked as good as it does now đ. I use Tretinoin nightly for its anti-ageing benefits, and with the Lipikar balm in my regimen, Iâm experiencing no dryness, flaking etc. (I apply the tretinoin on top of the Lipikar, btw, with a dab of Vaseline around my eyes and corners of my nose.) I hope youâre able to try it, and if you do, that you love it as much as me đđŒ. LRP do manufacture sample sizes of their products, and the Lipikar Baume comes in a generous 15ml! Hopefully if you ask your pharmacy/drugstore theyâll give you one to try.
Oh, I have one other recommendation: the LRP Toleriane Softening Foaming Gel. Itâs a gentle, ph neutral cleanser that I love to use because it does the job, but doesnât dry out my skin. Iâm sure there are cheaper alternatives that are just as good, but I still recommend this one đđŒ.

Pantothen, however, is based on two other studies that show megadosing B5âs effectiveness on acne, alongside a revision of that regimen by including L-Carnitine to help absorption of B5 and hence reducing the need for megadosing...
Hi doc dray!! How about IMMUNPRO ? Does it work for acne? Watching from Philippinesđ
Hey Dr. Dray! I am currently using Faded ointment by Topicals and they advise against using a retinol in the same routine because of the acids in their product. Would it still be okay to use retinol every other day, rotating it out with Faded? I miss my retinol đ

- beta carotene
- zinc
- astaxanthin (supposedly sunscreen in a pill)

Oh son of a gun. THANK YOU for this info! I broke out into hormonal cystic acne like I have never had before in my life over the past few months. I have no clue whatâs causing it. However, around that time, I started to Oil Cleanse (stopped a month ago) and I started taking a Biotin supplement. I always take a B-Complex, too. Now I wonder if the Biotin was interfering because Iâm still working on getting my face clear again - itâs just awful. There may be other factors going on and I made an appt with the Dr, but Iâll stop taking Biotin and maybe get a Pantothenic Acid supplement and see if that helpsâŠ. Thanks again for the very thorough and substantive information! â€ïž

Hey Dr. Dray!
I take 6-500mg Pantothenic Acid after talking to Physician to make sure. My acne has been significantly reduced. I was getting painful cystic acne on chin area. I had stopped taking and it started coming back, so, for me this does help me!
I have my 17 year old son and its seriously cleared his skin up. All his really huge cystic acne spots cleared up and he's so much better in himself. Glad it worked for you too
It also helped me a lot. I used it to flatten the uncountable cystic nodules on my face and neck. After two months, they cleared up. I use tretinoin after that so retin a helps maintain my skin. I stop taking the b5 pills after 9 months, because my current skin care routine keeps major breakout at bay.

its been a month my pantothenic acid journey. what can i say are this works like MAGICđđđ ALL MY ACNE BREAKOUT ALL GONEEE. my skin improved sooo muchđđ
how many did you take
How many per day ??
I took b5 for a reasonable period of time (almost a year). Since the beginning I got a perfect skin I never experienced before. Even the redness of my couperose disappeared. I also noticed an incredible improvement with the healing process of the skin (way faster) and a reduction of oil production. The results are comparable with the Accutane treatment ( that I started later because I didn't want to take the b5 supplement forever) avoiding the extreme dry skin you get with isotretinoin. I loved b5 and once you get a good clear skin you can decrease the dose and keep the results. If you stop it, after a few months you get your pimples back unfortunately. I had no sides effects and really suggest if you have bad acne that don't respond to any treatment and you don't want to take accutane

How many pills did you take daily? And how much would you recommend for a 16yr old?
I needed this topic so much!!I just started using b5. Do you think that a daily dosage of b5, 2,2 gr as reported in this study, could lead to hair loss?? This is something that many people mention. Could a b5 supplementation + an extra b-complex supplementation prevent this?
even 1g can cause hair loss in some people. it's not clear whether this is due to biotin or something else, eg the material used to make the supplement causing toxicity
update - high dose b5 takes up the body's cysteine reserves, resulting in hair loss. to prevent this, take l cysteine and b5 together , eg in a 1:1 ratio. they combine to form coenzyme A. additionally, a high dose of any vitamin all at once can shock the body and cause hair loss. start at 500mg and gradually increase to avoid this.
Dr dray seems so nice I would trust her with my grandma
great film.
God sent you for usâ€ïž
Would continuous use of La Roche Posay's Cicaplast Baume B5 be beneficial?
The panthenol lurking in the shadows!! Only the scientist sees the elephant. Thanks for your insight, yet again! đ
I moved abroad and my acne has gotten worse. During my research I found out about allergy testing through hair strands Had this test which includes readings on which minerals and vitamins i am low of and it includes panthotenic acid. I didnt knew what it was then and only found out that it's being used to treat acne. my skin's clearer now with benzoyl treatment and glycolic.
Dr.Dray, can you do a review on Dr.Barbara Sturm's skincare line?
It worked for me. I started with B5 mega doses and then cut back to 2000 mg a day. Then I cut it back to 1000 mg and acne came back. Also took zinc, which I think helps too.

The problem with pantothenic acid is itâs not available in Bhutan. Hope Amazon is listening and make it accessible worldwide.
I bought the now foods pantothenic acid, should I take it as it is in the plastic looking cover? Or am I suppose to take it apart and take the powder? Sorry if this seems really stupid.
Can you please do an updated toddler/ young kid lotions and shampoo skin/hair care!
My daughter has super dry sensitive skin and scalp! And would love your advice! â€ïž
My son has the same thing. I actually had to stop using anything but Cetaphil eczema line of products. His scalp was so dry I was able to use the body wash for his scalp. It was non irritating and non drying.
Changing his diet to a strictly gluten free one was the only thing that truly helped. Nothing else worked. It is not a problem that is just on the outside. It is just a symptom of the extreme inflammatory process going on inside the body.
I have had seborrheic dermatitis since baby times, so "cradle cap" along with very dry facial skin. My mom always used sweet almond oil on me, but baby oil will probably be better (hypo-allergenic, I believe). Just a couple drops on a cotton ball and dab and rub in small patches. That is what my mom has always done for my face, before moisturizer. I'm 48 and still have dry facial skin, but my skin is really nice and I thank my mom for it.
to the 0,1 percent that might read this:
YOU are worthy of love and happiness, never allow anyone to tell YOU otherwise! I wish all of YOU plenty of health and strenght during this tough times. YOU are loved, YOU got this, YOU are strong, never forget that!
Much Love from Germany

Thank you! Love from the Ukđ
Thank you from CA more specifically the Bay Area đđŸ
Thank you for mentioning B12 may cause acne. In my case, dairy causes acne so I ate in a vegan place that uses nutritional yeast for their vegan cheese. Had two huge cystic pimples after that meal. Turns out most yeast flakes have insane levels of B12 vitamin added.
I became vegan, tried vegan cheeses and nutritional yeast, and had the same reaction. It was awful. I thought i was developing hidradentis suppuritiva. Nope, it's yeast. Now i just take a vitamin for B12.
I never knew B12 could cause acne
Hello Dr. Dray, wanna ask you if I decide to take pantothenic acid supplements, can I take it together with accutane, as I am taking accutane now? Thanks
This started working literally OVERNIGHT for me in high school (~10 years ago), but I did take 20 pills/day which gave me the runs for a week or two until my body got used to it. This was a miracle and also made my hair less oily! Eventually I tapered down to 8 pills/day and then got off completely. I'm considering going back on, but at around 12 pills/day bc I've been getting some more breakouts (likely due to poor diet, which yes I'm also trying to work on). I would however not recommend 20 pills/day because I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease a few years ago. Are the two related? I have no idea. But I can't in good conscience recommend that high dose.
I have the 500mg capsules pure pantothenic acid , you take more then 1? I thought only 1 a day
@@BarbieBuiltBullies The pills I took were also 500mg each
I donât think you have Chron because of this⊠I have Chron disease since my 18 and never had b5 beforeâŠ
The bottles say to take 1 capsule a dayâŠ..why would people take more then the recommended dose? Iâm sure itâs one a day for a reason
