			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Treatment for acne may become necessary when mild acne just won&#8217;t go away, when the appearance of acne becomes emotionally disturbing, or when acne becomes severe.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re seriously interested in knowing about acne, you need to think beyond the basics. </p>
<p>You may also decide to medicate acne when it shows up at inconvenient times like the day before your wedding, the night before school pictures or just before prom.</p>
<p><strong>Treatment should do the following:</strong></p>
<p>* Unclog your pores</p>
<p>* Kill the bacteria on your skin</p>
<p>* Minimize Oil</p>
<p>Sometimes lifestyle changes can improve your acne. Water is your skin&#8217;s friend, so make sure that you drink a minimum of 8 full glasses of water a day to improve your skin. Good nutrition gives your skin the nutrients that it needs to be healthy, so take a good look at what you are eating and stick with fruits, vegetables and protein in recommended portions for your age, limit carbohydrates and fats. You can check with a nutritionist at your doctor&#8217;s office for a list of healthy foods that are good for your skin.</p>
<p>Other methods for reducing the affects of acne would be to apply hot compresses to the pustules and to get facials because they help to tighten up your pores. Never, ever squeeze pimples, this only makes them worse. When you &#8220;play&#8221; with your pimples it always makes them redder and more irritated so this increases healing time.</p>
<p><strong>A few simple ways to open your pores:</strong></p>
<p>* Make sure you cleanse your skin with mild cleansers once or twice a day with a mild bar soap or liquid cleanser. Some brand names to explore are Basis, Cetaphil, Dove, Neutrogena, and also Purpose.</p>
<p>* You can also use exfoliating cleansers and masks. These products have granules in them and some have salicylic acid in a concentration that makes the preparation a mild peeling agent so to remove the outer layer of the skin, thus opening your pores.</p>
<p>* Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and can also help promote skin peeling.</p>
<p><strong>Ways to kill the bacteria on your skin:</strong></p>
<p>* You can use antibacterial cleansers that contain benzoyl peroxide</p>
<p>* There are topical application that can be used that comes in the form of creams, gels, and lotions. The active ingredient in these preparations that kill bacteria is usually benzoyl peroxide, sulfur or resorcinol. Some of these brands can be quite costly. Check the label and compare the more costly brands with the ones in drugstores, if the ingredients are the same, than buy the less expensive ones.</p>
<p>* Some individuals are allergic to benzoyl peroxide by giving the skin redness and scaly appearance. Do not let these products get on your colored clothing, or towels, as benzoyl peroxide is bleach.</p>
<p>* If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole acne story from informed sources.</p>
<p><strong>Ways to reduce the oil</strong></p>
<p>Glands cannot be stopped from producing oil. What you can do to reduce the oil is to use an astringent or toner to wipe away the oil from your face.</p>
<p>You can also use products that contain glycolic acid or alpha-hydroxy acids as they help to peel off the superficial layer of skin.</p>
<p>Masks that contain sulfur can draw out the facial oil from your face.</p>
<p>Pads that are antibacterial or contain benzoyl peroxide can help you wipe away the oil.</p>
<p><strong>Other things you can do about acne:</strong></p>
<p>You can hide acne with cosmetics or flesh-tinted cover-up sticks. Just make sure they are water-based or oil-free.</p>
<p>Facials can help as well as steaming the face and deep cleansing. You can also have your pores unclogged by a professional.</p>
<p>You can purchase pore strips from pharmacies that can be applied to your nose, forehead and chin. You apply the strip wait a designated time and then pull off the strip, unclogging the pores with the strip.</p>
<p><strong>You can start and maintain a good basic skin regimen that includes:</strong></p>
<p>* Cleansing your face daily with a 5% benzoyl peroxide wash or if allergic you can use 2% salicylic acid.</p>
<p>* Use gels or creams that contain 5% benzoyl peroxide or sulfur/resorcinol on any acne you may have.</p>
<p>* You can apply a sulfur cream at night to any blemishes that you have.</p>
<p>* Use a light skin moisturizer and oil-free makeup</p>
<p>Hopefully these tips have been helpful and you are now better informed regarding treating your acne. Here&#8217;s to healthy, clear skin!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acne Secrets You Must Know to Eliminate Acne</p>
<p>Are you tired of dealing with acne? Tired of trying to cover up acne before you go out, afraid that people will judge you by the way your face looks? </p>
<p>Acne can make you feel self conscious and can even ruin your social life, but there is good news. </p>
<p>There are many acne treatment products available and many great things you can easily do for acne treatment to make a difference. </p>
<p>With the right acne care secrets, you can eliminate acne and have skin you are proud to show off.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="'http://www.acnecuresnow.com/"' target='_blank'>Acne Home Cures</a></p>
<p>Acne Soap &#8211; A Great Choice</p>
<p>When you want great acne treatment, acne soap is a good choice. Too many people think that regular facial soap will work, and some even try using body soap to do the job. With the acne soap you have a special formulation of ingredients designed for acne care. </p>
<p>This means it will work to eliminate the acne for you. Just make sure you follow the directions and avoid scrubbing too hard or you may have the opposite effect on your skin.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="'http://www.curefaceacne.com/Acne_Secrets_-_Top_Secret_Ideas_for_Treating_Acne_Successfully.html"' target='_blank'>Acne Advice</a></p>
<p>Buy a Quality Moisturizer</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Too many people focus on cleansing and forget all about moisturizing. The truth is that moisturizing your skin is important too, and there are some great products out there that can moisturize your skin &#8211; a great treatment for acne.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>If you allow your skin to get too dry, it won&#8217;t help the problem &#8211; it will only make it worse. Of course choosing a good moisturizer is important. </p>
<p>Look for one formulated for those with acne and definitely the ingredients contain no oil.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.curefaceacne.com/Exposed_Acne_Treatment_Review.html" target='_blank'>Top Acne Products</a></p>
<p>The Power of Honey<br />You probably never thought to go to the kitchen for an acne treatment. Do you have some honey there? If so, you can use the honey for acne care too.</p>
<p>Honey can be applied directly to your skin as a type of mask. Allow it to dry on the skin, which should take about 10-15 minutes. Then all you have to do is wash it right off. Since it happens to have antibacterial properties, it is a great way to help get rid of the acne problem you hate so much.</p>
<p>Water for Acne Yes, water can help your acne too. You don&#8217;t always have to go with expensive acne treatment products to get rid of acne. Simply increasing your intake of water can be helpful. </p>
<p>The water works to cleanse out the body. It flushes out the waste and also helps to get rid of toxins in the body which can be harmful. When you don&#8217;t drink enough water, these toxins and waste products can come out through the skin, which can cause acne. </p>
<p>So start hydrating for better skin.</p>
<p>Acne Treatments with Natural Ingredients<br />It&#8217;s important to look closely at acne treatments before buying them. </p>
<p>Check out the ingredients. For the best acne care, an acne treatment product with natural ingredients is the best choice. </p>
<p>Natural ingredients are better for the skin and are less likely to cause any irritation. Often this is the secret to eliminating acne for good &#8211; natural acne treatment products.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a variety of different acne care treatments available.</p>
<p>Vitamin supplementation as a way of treating acne is not as popular as some other treatment options, but still worth considering.</p>
<p>First of all, the skin is the largest organ of the body and it&#8217;s important to get plenty of nutrients in our body for the skin to function properly. </p>
<p>If your body is lacking in certain vitamins the resulting imbalance can lead to skin conditions such as acne. </p>
<p>Therefore, can taking more vitamins that promote healthy skin function cure acne?</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Vitamins A, B complex, C, E and the minerals zinc and Chromium are the most common vitamins and minerals that have been found to improve acne and promote healthy skin.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>You are more likely to see a difference in your skin if you are lacking in a particular nutrient and you supplement your diet with extra vitamins. </p>
<p><strong>However, if these vitamins are known to get rid of acne or greatly improve it than is taking more of them a good thing?</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with vitamin A which serves many functions and the lack of it can cause acne. Vitamin A  helps strengthen and maintain healthy tissue and it&#8217;s antioxidant role eliminates free radicals in the body.   </p>
<p>Most importantly vitamin A helps prevent and eliminate acne by reducing excess sebum production in the skin. Vitamin A in larger quantities such as 10,00 IU&#8217;s has been used by some patients as an effective acne treatment.  </p>
<p>Taking large quantities of this vitamin is not  without risk and side effects. Therefore, mega dosing should only be done under the supervision of a medical professional. </p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Women who are pregnant should avoid large doses of vitamin A and it is therefore not a recommended treatment for pregnant women.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Stress is a known factor to cause acne and the B-complex vitamins are important for lowering stress in the body and maintaining healthy skin tone. </p>
<p>Some patients have taken large doses of  vitamin B5 in particular as a way of getting rid of their acne. Vitamin B5 works by reducing sebum production and eliminating acne by controlling the oil in the skin. </p>
<p>Similarly, taken in large quantities, vitamin B5 may not be good and can lead to many undesirable side effects, such as upset stomach, dry skin, diarrhea, headaches, and potential hair loss. </p>
<p>Acne treatment using vitamin B5 should be closely monitored because taken in large amounts it can lead to other vitamin deficiencies that can be more dangerous to your health. </p>
<p>To make sure your getting the right balance of B vitamins it is recommended that you stick with a B-complex vitamin in order to avoid the negative side effects associated with taking B5 alone or in high quantities.</p>
<p>Vitamins C and E are antioxidants that promote healing, prevent infection and support the overall immune system. Then these vitamins are taken in the right amounts skin is more healthy and acne can be healed and prevented.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Lastly, having healthy skin means taking in the right kind of minerals. Interestingly, research has found that about 90% of people suffering from acne are lacking in the mineral Chromium. </strong>
</p></blockquote>
<p>Chromium is used in the body to help maintain the balance of insulin.  High sugar levels in the body can stimulate oil productions and by keeping these levels in balance in the body you can prevent acne from occurring.  Zinc also works by maintaining the hormonal balance in the body and therefore reducing the occurrence of acne flare-ups.</p>
<p>It is true many people have reduced or even cured their acne by using vitamin supplementation as an acne treatment. </p>
<p>However, there are many things you should know before you take any vitamin and you should realize that taking more than the recommended dosage of vitamins can not only make acne worse, but it can be harmful to your health. </p>
<p>A multi-vitamin or a vitamin designed specifically for acne in mind is generally harmless and will promote healthy skin, but you should always do your research and speak to a health care provider to weigh all your option and potential side-effects.</p>
<p>Taking a vitamin supplement made specifically for acne might be the right acne care treatment solution for you.</strong> <strong>Learn more about which <a target="_blank" target="_blank">acne treatment products</a> work and get reviews of the best selling <a href="http://topacneproducts.net" target="_blank">Acne Treatment Products</a> at TopAcneProducts.net.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acne often results in a person losing all of his/her self confidence.  Hence, removing acne, as soon as possible and by any method available, assumes high priority in the minds of people.  The effectiveness of most of these methods are however, not so good and in fact, they can also cause several negative impacts on the health as well.  Choosing the correct acne treatment product is thus, often crucial because unless you can select one that is effective, it might not work.  We have carried out a product review of all the <a target="_blank" href=""http://www.skincareconnect.com/acne-treatment-care.html""target='_blank'>acne skin care</a> formulations that are out there and we have published our findings here for your convenience.  Once you have read the reviews and got all this information, choosing the correct acne treatment product will be much easier.</p>
<p>1.	Sensiclear &ndash; The only acne treatment regime with the combination of the patented Retextra and Salicyclic acid, Sensiclear is a truly effective product for removing acne.  Understandably, SensiClear is a totally new cosmeceutical (probably a hybrid between a cosmetic and pharmaceutical product) weapon against acne with the addition of Retextra.  You can even try it free for the first 30 days and see for yourself if it is good for you.<br />2.	Hydroderm Acne &ndash; If you are looking for a good <a target="_blank" href=""http://www.skincareconnect.com/acne-treatment-care.html""target='_blank'>acne skin care</a> solution, and that too without consulting a doctor, Hydroderm Clear is the right product for you.  There are no risks of irritation that is associated with this product, since it is made up of anti-Bacterial Peptide and Oxydectaline.  The Hydroderm component of this product has a high chance of being effective, and the overall reviews of this item are also very favorable.<br />3.	Shiva 23 &ndash; Although it is a relatively new entrant in the field of treating acne, it has already had a number of favorable reviews.  Deep penetration of the skin is common by this product, after which it attacks the cell membrane of the bacteria that actually causes the acne, and destroys the bacteria that is responsible for the growths.</p>
<p>Acne is a cruel disease because it affects a person in his or her teens when it is so important to look good.  An uncomfortable feeling of itchiness accompanies acne, and when these growths are picked at, it can lead to scar marks.  These scars are often long-lasting, and can remain even after the actual acne has gone.  Removing acne hence, should be done as quickly as possible, and you need to choose an effective <a target="_blank" href="http://www.skincareconnect.com/acne-treatment-care.html" target='_blank'>acne skin care</a> that works quickly is thus essential for this purpose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" href="http://reviewsacnetreatment.ccom" target="_blank">Natural acne treatments</a> do work. However, knowing what works and what doesn&#8217;t does take a little trial and error but it won&#8217;t take you years to discover which ones actually help keep your acne problem under control.</p>
<p>One of the biggest turn offs with commercial acne treatments is the cost and sometimes side effects associated with them. While they do the job, battling the effects can almost be as frustrating as the problem of acne itself.</p>
<p>So which natural treatments for acne do you use? The big advantage you have over your parents is the internet. While it makes sense to discuss natural treatments with your doctor first, a little research online can not only put you on the right track but also save you money.</p>
<p><strong>Being Careful During Research</strong></p>
<p>Be vigilant that you do not get trapped into programs that sell months and months of pills, creams, or cleaners. They might not be effective, and you will be loaded with a large supply of products while you continue to seek a <a target="_blank" href=""http://reviewsacnetreatment.com/acne-free-in-3-days-review.htm"l" target="_blank">natural treatment for acne</a> that will truly help you.</p>
<p>There are many different ebooks available that help you learn the root causes. With this information, these books instruct you on how to change your lifestyle in order to clear up your skin using a natural acne treatment. What you eat does effect how your skin looks. These ebooks are a great place to begin in order to establish a routine in your life that will lead to clear, smooth skin.</p>
<p>Be careful as you begin to experiment with new products for your skin. Many are ineffective especially if you have had infections or severe scarring. You might have skin that is more sensitive to many ingredients in acne medications that are over -the- counter. You could benefit from the natural treatment approach.</p>
<p>You must also keep in mind that some treatments are just not safe from some individuals. You should talk to your pediatrician about products for a ten or twelve year old child. Of course, it should be safe to utilize a natural acne treatment such as diet provided you continue to follow nutritional guidelines for the individual.</p>
<p>Acne Books?</p>
<p>Probably one of the best ways to treat acne is to choose a guide that provides step-by-step instructions on how you can clear up your skin using a holistic method. Your entire body could benefit from a natural treatment, not just your skin. Nutritious and healthy diets never hurt anyone. If the guide or book recommends a period of fasting or not eating, be sure to talk with our doctor before using this natural acne treatment program.</p>
<p>You should also keep in mind that natural methods covered in books and guides are a very low cost. Basically, you will only end up paying for the book or guide on <a target="_blank" href="http://reviewsacnetreatment.com/acne-no-more-review.html" target="_blank">natural acne treatment</a>, and of course, for the food itself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Acne Treatments for the Modern Teen</strong></p>
<p>The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.</p>
<p>No one likes to see acne staring back at him or her from the mirror. Treating acne so it disappears fast and better yet preventing future breakouts is what every teen dreams of doing. Here are some tips for treating and preventing acne that are based on the causes of acne.</p>
<p>Washing your face with a mild soap and warm water twice a day is the single most important thing you can do for your face. Acne is caused by excess oil clogging the pores of your face so getting rid of the oil are going to help prevent pimples.</p>
<p>Avoid makeup that contains oil, you do not want to add oil to your face; you want to get rid of oil that is on it. Use makeup that is water-based or oil-free.</p>
<p>Unclog pores by using a pore strip or mask that will pull the blackheads out of the pores. Never squeeze a pimple or blackhead; doing so will only make your acne worse and prolong the healing process (the pimple will last longer).</p>
<p>Check labels of skin care products and if you find alcohol among the ingredients do not buy it. Alcohol will dry out your face and irritate the skin. Irritation is one cause of acne. A good rule of thumb when buying products is if you can’t pronounce it don’t buy it.</p>
<p>Remove excess oil and dead skin cells with an exfoliate.</p>
<p>Picking, squeezing and generally messing around with the acne on your face is a big no no. Leave the acne alone.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have accurate details regarding acne, then you might make a bad choice on the subject. Don&#8217;t let that happen: keep reading and discover more important information that you need to know about acne.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Avoid the sun; most skin care medications are sun sensitive so wear a sun block.</p>
<p>Use a fresh razor every time you shave. Prepare your face for shaving by softening the beard. Ladies use gel on your legs before shaving. Use sensitive shaving gels and lotions so as not to irritate your skin. Limit your shaving to when you absolutely must shave. Do not shave too close or go over an area multiple times.</p>
<p>Choose oil-free makeup and skin care products or water based products. Do not go to sleep wearing makeup this can irritate your skin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Home Remedies for Acne</strong></p>
<p>Millions of people suffer from acne, and there are hundreds of remedies that you can purchase at your local drugstore or online.  However, some people prefer to take a more natural approach when trying to treat their acne problems.  </p>
<p>Here is a look at some of the acne home remedies that you can try in order to clear up your acne breakouts and keep them from coming back.</p>
<p>Stop into your local health and wellness store, and you will see that they have numerous acne home remedies available as well.  Keep in mind that with natural cures, the effectiveness will vary greatly from one person to another.  </p>
<p>Many of the acne cures rely on herbal and vitamin supplementation, and everyone’s body reacts differently.  So you may need to try a few to see what remedy or combination of remedies works best for you.  If you do not have a health store in your neighborhood, many of the remedies are available for purchase online.</p>
<p>One home remedy that is frequently recommended to help cure acne is colloidal silver.  This remedy basically works like an antibiotic, helping to kill the bacteria that create the acne pimples and cysts.  Colloidal silver can be applied directly to the skin or taken orally.</p>
<p>Some users will prefer to mix the colloidal silver with juice or water to make taking it easier.  Remember that colloidal silver is not intended to replace traditional antibiotic treatments that you may be on, but purely as a way to relieve your acne problems.</p>
<p>Besides colloidal silver, many acne sufferers swear that garlic capsules are a good way to fight your acne breakouts the natural way.  </p>
<p>The idea is that garlic will help to boost your body’s natural defenses and immune system, which allows it to better fight off the bacteria growing in the sebaceous glands before they have a chance to multiply and turn into acne pimples and cysts.</p>
<p>You can find garlic extract capsules online and at your local supplement store.  Garlic is also useful in lowering cholesterol, so it may be found with natural remedies for heart conditions.  </p>
<p><strong><br />
<blockquote>Be advised, some people report that taking large amounts of garlic cause the herb to be secreted through the oil glands, giving the person a faint garlicky smell.</p></blockquote>
<p></strong></p>
<p>Another option of a home cure for acne is to go with burdock or dandelion roots.  Tinctures made from these two herbs have been shown to be particularly effective when used in acne treatments.  The secret is inulin, a substance that helps kill the bacteria that are causing the acne cysts and pimples.</p>
<p>Some people find success in using all natural soaps and face washes, since they find that the ingredients in these are less irritating to the skin than typical cleansers.</p>
<p>Before trying any home remedies, you will want to speak to your doctor.  Some herbs and supplements are not recommended for people with underlying health issues, and in conjunction with other medications.  </p>
<p>Your doctor will be able to advise you as to the safety and usefulness of different home remedies in the treatment and prevention of acne, as well as the most effective dosages and combination&#8217;s of treatments that will work best for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding a home acne remedy is not that difficult – almost anyone you meet will have tried and true method for getting rid of it.  However, the problem comes with sorting through the fact and fiction of acne home cures.  </p>
<p>Unfortunately, while there is plenty that you can do to help relieve your acne symptoms, few of the acne home remedy “cures” actually do as they advertise.</p>
<p>There are several more common home remedies that you can try.  Some people swear that rubbing fresh lemon juice on the affected areas before bedtime will help.  It may be a bit painful, however, because of the acid in the juice.  </p>
<p>If you like tea, you can try drinking at least four cups of nettle tea daily, since this herb is thought to work well on skin problems.  Many find the taste pretty bitter, however.  Other people will tell you to make a paste out of honey and cinnamon that you can apply to your acne pimples to dry them out.</p>
<p>Of course, you can always take a look at the over the counter solutions for acne problems.  Your local drugstore probably has half an aisle dedicated to different miracle cures.  </p>
<p>If you have been suffering from acne for some time though, you have probably already figured out that the majority of them do not work as well as they promise.  You might get a lesser breakout, or have a breakout heal faster, but they keep coming back.</p>
<p>That is the problem with most acne cures – the cure is never permanent.  For most people, a “cure” would be a total elimination of their acne so that it never came back.  </p>
<p>Few, if any, acne remedies that you buy at the store or try at home, can promise that.  At best, they may reduce the number of breakouts that you have, but chances are you will still have breakouts from time to time.</p>
<p>Adult acne affects millions of people, and is one of the most common skin disorders.  It is caused by inflammation of the skin.  For many people, acne is a problem that they have as teenagers and eventually grow out of, but for others it continues into adulthood.  </p>
<p>While there are many things that can contribute to the acne problem, they are often not the underlying cause.  And since many acne treatments and cures treat the symptoms, not the disorder, the acne keeps coming back.</p>
<p>The problem is that in order to cure your acne you have to discover the cause of the inflammation.  To do this, you will more than likely need to see a dermatologist.  </p>
<p>Most of the remedies you can try on your own will help lessen the symptoms or hid the acne problems short term, but they are not going to get rid of it completely.  Even antibiotics can only go so far since an infection only comes as a result of the acne.  </p>
<p>The inflammation is your main problem.  Once you figure out the cause of the inflammation, your acne problems will resolve themselves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many people currently dealing with acne on a day to day basis.  While some turn to the local drug store for a acne cure or at least a treatment, others are looking for more natural cures.  </p>
<p>Some will swear by the effects of vitamins on their skin, and one popular choice is vitamin B5.  Here is a look at how vitamin B5 may help treat your acne problems.</p>
<p>It seems like almost daily a new acne treatment or cure comes out on the market.  Some work, others do not.  Here is a look at one that is rapidly gaining popularity – vitamin B5.  You can find a wide variety of vitamin B5 acne treatments on the market if you know where to look.</p>
<p><a href="http://new-covenant-enterprises.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/vitamin-b5-for-acne-cure.jpg"><img src="http://new-covenant-enterprises.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/vitamin-b5-for-acne-cure-287x300.jpg" alt="Vitamin B5 Can It Cure Your Acne" title="Vitamin B5 Can It Cure Your Acne" width="287" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-76" /></a><br />
The doctor behind the new craze in acne treatments is Dr. Lit-Hung Leung.</p>
<p>The theory that Dr. Leung has is that acne is caused by a deficiency in vitamin B5.  Solve the problem of the deficiency, and you solve the problem of the acne.  </p>
<p>With Dr. Leung’s theory, it is thought that high amounts of fats seen in many people’s diet cause acne breakouts, pimples, and cysts, since the body cannot metabolize the fats as it should.  In order to be able to process the fats best, the body needs coenzyme-A.</p>
<p>According to Dr. Leung’s vitamin B5 theory, coenzyme-A is formed from three other vitamins – adenosine triphosphate, cysteine, and pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5.  Without enough vitamin B5 in your diet, your body is unable to create enough of the coenzyme-A.  </p>
<p>Without the coenzyme-A, the necessary hormones to balance your system are not created.  Then, according to Dr. Leung’s theory, there is an increase in the amount of oils produced by the skin.  This subsequently blocks pores and follicles and allows bacteria to grow, causing acne and the dreaded breakouts.</p>
<p>Many people accept Dr. Leung’s theory on using B5 to prevent acne as the leading information.  On the other hand, others still have some questions as to whether or not taking B5 is actually a worthwhile treatment for acne.  </p>
<p>Because of this, there have been some studies done on vitamin B5 and its relationship to acne.  <em>Unfortunately for Dr. Leung, these studies show that vitamin B5 is not as good at helping patients get rid of their acne problems as was once believed.</em>  The studies looked at a variety of doses, including large daily doses taking multiple times a day.</p>
<p>At the same time, it was also discovered that taking too much vitamin B5 could cause some unpleasant side effects.  The most common side effects noticed were loss of energy, nausea, and fatigue.  </p>
<p>This has caused many doctors to caution patients against the use of vitamin B5 without first considering other possible acne treatments.</p>
<p>Taking a vitamin B5 supplement within the recommended daily allowances will help balance out any vitamin B5 deficiencies that your body might have, however, it is unlikely that it will do much to help your acne problems.  Always consult your doctor before starting a new supplement routine.</p>
