A clinical study done in 1995 demonstrated that pantothenic acid can help resolve several cases of acne.

Patients with severe acne took at least 6 months before improvement occurred. After improvement occurred, the dosage of pantothetic acid was reduced to a maintenance level of 1,000 – 1,500 mg per day.
