6-10mg per day then lower to 3-4mg when acne is controlled to maintain. I am prone to breakout every now and then especially after cycle on PCT. I found that the B5 at the doses above helps clear up my problem areas. I still got pimples here and there, but nothing compared to what I would without it.
