Vitamin A can help your battle against acne, and zinc also appears to have a very positive effect on problem skin.
Some skincare experts suggest that acne is a result of a deficiency in vitamin B5. This theory is based on the idea that your body needs this to help metabolize the harmful fats in your diet.

The supporters of this theory suggest that in order to metabolize fats properly, your body needs Coenzyme-A, which is also necessary for the synthesis of hormones. Coenzyme-A is created within the body from a combination of cysteine, adenosine triphosphate, and vitamin
B5 or pantothenic acid as it is otherwise known.

Of these three, the one that is most commonly lacking is vitamin B5,
and from this it follows that your body cannot make enough
Coenzyme-A to satisfy all of its requirements.

In this case, the metabolization of fats takes precedence over the
synthesis of hormones, and in this way, too many hormones remain
unsynthesized. So, there is a need (according to this theory) for
additional vitamin B5 to be taken in as a way of redressing the
balance.

The problem with this theory is that most proponents recommend
extremely high dosages of B5 in order for the plan to be effective, with between 10 and 20 grams a day (note, that is grams, not milligrams)
being the most widely recommended dose. There are many reports
that, if taken in the dosages suggested, B5 is actually more harmful
than beneficial.

For example, several (albeit non-scientific) studies have indicated that
excessively large doses of B5 can lead to chronic fatigue, constant
headaches and a general inability for the body to heal itself in the
normal way.

The proponents of the theory counter-claim that, since B5 is a water
soluble vitamin, any unused excess will be secreted by the body, so
there is no risk involved. While this is true to a certain extent, the fact
is that the doses recommended by the supporters of the B5 theory are
just too high for this to happen in reality.

Your body simply does not have the capability of processing such
massive amounts of any vitamin that quickly, and so the B5 will
remain in your body long enough to cause the kind of problems that
seem to be most commonly associated with it.

Most importantly, it is important to understand that everything that
happens inside your body is about maintaining a healthy balance, and
that the more balanced your system is, the more healthy you are.
For example, your body needs both calcium and phosphorus to stay
healthy, but it needs them in balance with one another. Get the
balance wrong, and it is every bit as bad for you as not having them at
all.

Too much phosphorus, for example, and your body will start leeching
calcium from your skeleton as a way of topping up your calcium store
to maintain the correct balance between the two. This will obviously
weaken your bones, making them far more susceptible to damage and
breakages.

It is a similar story with vitamin B5. If you try to take in excessively
high levels of any particular B vitamin, your body will react by
attempting to leech all the other B vitamins out of your body to
maintain the correct balance.

So, your body ‘sucks up’ vitamins B3 and B6 from wherever it can find
them, for example, and as these are key vitamins for controlling and
regulating the levels of energy in your body, hence you get the feeling
of being permanently tired. So, it appears that the vitamin B5 theory
is simply not correct and that, if anything, taking vitamin B5 in the
dosage that are most commonly recommended by the supporters of
the theory is likely to be more dangerous than beneficial.
