Vitamin B5/Pantothenic Acid make acne worse?

So I just started taking Vitamin B5 to cure my acne after hearing that it's like the natural accutane and seeing it cure so many cases of severe acne. I'm only two days in but I got a few more breakouts and I was wondering is maybe, like accutane, B5 purges the skin before making it better? Would like to know if anyone has had a similar experience? Thank you! =)

It could be that. Some face washes I've used before make it worse before it gets better. If in doubt, ask your pharmacist or GP :smile:
