Even when following a normal healthy diet, topical application of pantothenic acid may help prevent acne (Leung, 1995), help alleviate allergic reactions (Szorady et al., 1966), help with skin healing, and to some extent prevent damage to the skin concurrent to radiation therapy.

Pantothenic acid is one of the vitamins of group B (B3), a component of coenzyme A, required in synthesis of fatty acids and sphingolipids. These components are of crucial importance for stratum corneum lipid bilayers and cell membrane integrity.

Each tube (2 grams) is enough for about 4 fl oz of strong anti-acne cream or lotion at approximately 2% concentration . The powder will dissolve very quickly and can be combined with our other actives. Use in your favorite cream or add to our Canvas Base Cream, European Cream, or our Sea Kelp Ultramarine.

Note: We recommend using a lower quantity if combining with other actives.

  I ordered the "Calcium Pantothenate" and mixed it with aloe vera gel. I use it as a spot treatment on pimples. It seems to get rid of the blemish fairly quickly yet doesn't dry my skin out at all. It's so much kinder than benzoyl peroxide. I would highly recommend it. Also there's evidence that it helps prevent acne when taken orally. (cuts down on excess oil production)
