It may sound surprising to you but if you are suffering from major acne breakdown, chances are you are suffering from malnutrition on Vitamin B complex. Vitamin B complex is actually a family of Vitamin B such as Pantothenic acid, Biotin, Folic Acid, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Niacin and Cyanocobalamin. Each of these vitamins serves a specific function in the development and maintenance of a healthy skin. However, it is Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6 that are ones that are more commonly associated with acne.

Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine works as an antioxidant that flushes out toxins from the body helping the body to improve the digestion system and blood circulation thus reducing the acne.

Vitamin B2 or riboflavin, on the other hand, is an effective vitamin for treating acne when mixed with Vitamin A. This unique blend of Vitamin B2 and Vitamin A helps to maintain and improve mucous membranes that would result to a healthier skin, hair and nails. Deficiency in Vitamin B2 is often related to the occurrence of acne

Vitamin B3 or niacin helps in improving blood circulation and production of energy. Deficiency in Vitamin B3 results in the disruption of metabolism of fats, sand protein and carbohydrate that causes acne

Vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid helps to reduce stress and the functioning of adrenal glands. Doctors usually prescribe about 100 mg to patients that are suffering from acne.

Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine is important in the production of antibody and the proper functioning of immune system. Deficiency in this vitamin can cause acne and it is believed that 100mg of this vitamin can help reduce acne.
