Does Vitamin B actually help my acne? It seems like a gimmick. Please explain.

Vitamin B is one of those unsung hero's when it come to achieving healthy skin. Specially vitamins B have science backed studies with proven results finding that Ultra Acne Clear's B Skin Clarifier carries a high level of vitamin b (5%!) and is effective at reducing the skin's surface oil that contributes to breakouts; including blackheads, whiteheads and blemishes.
Vitamin B in addition to reducing an oily complexion also fights acne causing bacteria on the skin surface.

With the aid of additional B3 & B5 these excess fats can be metabolized and oil production better controlled. The results would then be non-oily, or less-oily, skin. With a minimal amount of oil on your skin, little or no acne is produced. Compared to the acne medicine A*cutane, which also minimizes oil production but it does so by shrinking your oil glands B5 is a much healthier option. The B5 Pantothenic Acid doesn't need to shrink your oil glands, because it controls the oil simply by metabolizing it the way nature intended. An extra bonus you get with Pantothenic Acid (B5) is that it also, in time, makes your pores smaller. Some might experience an initial increase of acne at first, as the pores start to clear out the old sebum in the pores. But this is only temporary, and once it's clear you can start to enjoy a new complexion!

It is important to note that these vitamin b skin benefits DO NOT dry out your skin-quite the opposite!  B3 & B5 vitamins are said to be more moisturizing than Vaseline! Vitamin B increases and strengthens your skins lipid barrier on a cellular level, deep in the  epidermis layer... The more you use it, the healthier and acne free your skin!

Instead of downing massive amount of Vitamin B complex a great B Skin Clairifer toner might just do the trick.
