I also wanted to order some Biotin but from the breakouts I've heard people are getting
no. I love my skin more than my hair, even though my hair is the most frustrating thing on earth right now
. I wonder is there anyone out here who doesnt get the breakouts with the Biotin?

I don't breakout.
If you are getting break outs cut your dose in half and drink more water. Once you skin gets back to normal, slowly increase your dose back up but you have to maintain a high intake of water. Many times, jumping head first in a supplement will have you breakout. Start on a low dose and move up as your body adjusts.
To the OP: You need both. Biotin is just one of the b-vitamins. Biotin in higher doses helps increase thickness and growth but in order for it work its best, you need more b-vitamins as well since they work better in tandem. Try taking a 25-50mg b-complex(dont' buy a 100mg one) with your biotin. You can also trying taking them before bed since many people experience better results this way. Your body sometimes absorbs water soluable vitamins better when you sleep. I know it works better for me this way.
As far as brands of b complex twinlad, natures made, natures way, puritains pride and country life have nice ones.
If possible buy one that doesn't have 400mcg (also 100%) folic acid because your multi already gives you folate. It is easy to consume too much folic acid when taking a b-complex and a multivitamin and too much folic acid has noticable side effects. I believe twinlab and natures way both have ones that don't contain a whole lot of folic acid.
