My face felt very dry and red the same day I started taking these supplements. The bottle said that slight irritation could occur by won't last.. Then after having problems breathing today I decided to lookin into it more. And this is what I found.....
Dermatologic: Itching, rash, transitory exanthema, and urticaria have been reported. Vitamin B12 (20 micrograms/day) and pyridoxine (80mg/day) has been associated with cases of rosacea fulminans, characterized by intense erythema with nodules, papules, and pustules. Symptoms may persist for up to 4 months after the supplement is stopped, and may require treatment with systemic corticosteroids and topical therapy.

Vitamin B supplements in general, especially those that contains Niacin can cause flushing of the skin. I would say that you might try a B complex without Niacin (B3) or a "No Flush" Niacin.
If you have breathing problems, I would quit taking immediately.

Vitamin B12 is also essential for health, try getting B12 through the diet, maybe it won't be as harsh. My family uses B12 & hasn't yet seen those side effects, maybe try changing brands?
