How much B5...

[ThickNBeautiful]

...do I need to take to combat Biotin breakouts? I am noticing a few more pimples than usual, and it's not that time of the month.

I've heard that B vitamins should not be taken separately, so I'm already taking a B Complex (100). Can I add additional B5? TIA!

Most people here take anywhere from 500-800 mg with success. How much is in your B-Complex?

ALOT.

I don't recommend combatting the breakouts that way.

The only person I know who used it for her skin took 10,000mgs a day until her skin cleared. If you have serious acne it might be worth it, but adjusting your biotin dosage is a better way to handle the problem IMO.

That's supposed to be 500-1000mgs.

Armyqt - My B-Complex is 100mgs. I don't have acne, I have just noticed a few pimples.

 

[Armyqt]

Yeah, then 500-1000mgs should be sufficient.
