A product of Acne Vitamins, Clear5 is a natural acne treatment based on a time-release formula of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid).  It is said by many that acne is an outward manifestation of an inward problem.  Clear5 works to solve the acne problem from the inside out.  This is done by the ingestion of a vitamin capsule.
What is Pantothenic Acid? It is a water-soluble vitamin required to sustain life.  It is critical in the metabolism and synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.  Small amounts of pantothenic acid are found in nearly every food, with high amounts in whole-grain cereals, legumes, eggs, and meat.

Treating Acne - Acne is caused when the hair follicles in our skin are over-congested.  The substance that the hair follicles naturally produce (called sebum) is usually helpful to the skin by preventing dryness. But, when there is an abundance of sebum, the follicles become a harbor for acne-causing bacteria.

In addition to the external factors listed above, many causes of acne come from within the body, whether it is an increased production of sebum, larger-than-normal glands, etc.  For such cases, it is often recommended to use an internal treatment.

Why a vitamin?  Vitamin’s play an important role in the treatment of acne because vitamins support the body’s ability to create energy for cellular processes as well as provide the basic nutrients for life.  Additionally, vitamins are ingested into the internal processes of the body, thus working to solve the problem from the inside out.

Is Clear5 for you? The answer to this question could highly depend on your diet.  As mentioned above, there are a number of everyday foods which contain high levels of Vitamin B5 - such as whole-grain cereals, legumes, eggs, and meat.  If you consume any of these foods on a regular basis, and are still experiencing the negative side effects of acne, Clear5 just might not be enough.
