Small amounts help prevent deficiency but for Acne help, you need much more. 1 or 2 mg a day won't help you. Take 3,000 mgs of Vitamin B5 3 times a day and you should see improvement in your acne, and the pores might shrink in size, as well. If you have severe Acne then take 3,000 mgs 4 times a day. This is just the Vitamin B5 you buy at the drug store or health food store. This is a high dose, but B vitamins are water-soluble, thus practically impossible to overdose orally.
For more information about b5, see the previous page, page 22, my post that says "Vitamin B5/Pantothenic Acid Information."

I am not familiar with prices, but what places did you try? GNC (theirs might be more expensive)? Family Health? NTUC pharmacy? Watson's? Pretty much any pharmacy or healthfood store should do. I think you only need the cheapest one, and B vitamins should be pretty cheap anyway.

Hello dear Ben86 and all,

After researching as many pharmacies, health food shops, health food companies and laboratories as I could find with in a space of about ten to fifteen hours on the net, I came across hundreds and found AllStarHealth.com to be the cheapest supplier of pantothenic acid.
There are likely others out there who are even cheaper, but as you might imagine sifting through hundreds of sites, you get sick of it pretty quickly, so any way this does seem to be significantly cheaper than anything I came across and I came across a lot, so I pass the info on to you guy's to give it a try and perhaps continue the search. I just received my pantothenic acid half hour ago, I'm an Australian, so I had to get it shiped from the USA, for us Aussies that’s the killer, the shipping costs. For those of you in America it should be quite cheap to maintain the high dosage. The product name is TWINLAB Panthothenic acid-Vitamin B-5 (500mg) 100 caps. It is $5.75 per/bottle, I bought 4 at $23.00, and the shipping cost me $32.64, for a grand total of $55.64 US. This equates to about $89.00 Australian, which is reasonable, but would have cost me double if I bought it hear in Australia, of which 500mg is not even available. So I hope this is helpful, these prices are current as of now, I will keep you posted as to the effectiveness of the treatment.

Love and Blessings to all,

Adam.
