There's no magic pill for acne. So they they say, at least.
Sometimes acne is caused by food sensitivities like dairy. In other cases, acne can be caused by nutritional deficiencies. I recently found out that people with higher requirements of vitamin B5 can experience painful acne. Supplementing with vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, can cause significant improvement.
My experience
Pantothenic
acid breaks up sebum that can harden and clog pores. On one hand this
can make skin drier. But on the other, it can make skin a lot smoother.
This was my experience, and a mere 500mg a day is enough to make a
difference for me. But depending on the severity of your breakouts, you
can customize your dosage. In fact, you can go up to 5-10grams and
continue to see improvements according to a study.
How it works
Vitamin B5 works by reducing the production of oil by the sebaceous glands. This is unlike the very dangerous Accutane, which shrinks the sebaceous glands. Pantothenic acid increases Coenzyme A, which amps up the metabolic
breakdown of oils. The more
Coenzyme A, the more fatty acids can be metabolized, which means they
are oxidized or burned up as energy production.
Pantothenic acid is in some foods, but the best way to get 1000mg or more is through supplements. Grab it from the vitamin section of your local Whole Foods or online at iHerb. Try it out, starting at a low dose of 500mg and increasing until you see the difference you want.
