Archived from groups: alt>skincare>acne (more info?)

Hello Folks!

As you might know, I took B5 for about a year or so. It worked good on
my acne, but I discovered that I was losing too much hair. At this
point, there are few visible spots on the top of my crown, and that is
concerning me a lot. I feel like I am going to be bald by the time I
am 19 Sad

Anyways, I started taking Biotin...300mcg x 9 which is 2.7 mg. The
following changes have been observed:

1) Hair loss has increased, more hair is falling out (anyone knows
why?)

2) Hair looks thicker though, has more life

3) I feel that I have more energy, and my mood seems to be better as
well.

Thoughts? Feedback?

I am starting my 3rd week next week on Biotin btw.

Thanks

How long does B5 take to work? - Hi, I've been on 10g B5 (from Holland & Barrat) for 3 weeks and so far I've seen no improvement in acne or oiliness, if anything it's got worse. How long should I expect to wait to see improvements?

UK sources of good B5 powder/caps? - Hi, if you've tried B5 and it worked for you, or someone you know, please let me know the brand (if available in the UK) as I want to use a brand that is known to work. I cannot find the 'Now' brand as recommended by DMax in a separate thread. Do you..

Commerical 'B5 Acne Cure' caps vs. regular powder? - Hi, I've seen a few commercial products offering B5 and other ingredients such as Biotin (useful as B5 depletes Biotin) and other good skin ingredients such as Zinc, all in a ready-prepared capsule. Does anyone have any experience of any of the..
