--== Recipes ==--
Each of the Recipes has specific ingredients that are required, and these are listed and followed by their position in the recipe -- marked with a number in brackets -- which indicates the ingredient effect, being (1) primary, (2) secondary, (3) tertiary, or (4) quaternary. If you look at the ingredients list above for the specific entry you will see that each has known effects, and by examining all of the ingredients required for a recipe you will better understand the synergy that goes into making that recipe!
There are two basic forms of recipes -- potions, which are positive effects, and poisons, which are negative -- so when you combine the two positive ingredients you create a potion, and the negative ingredients create a poison. Potions can be used to heal or correct conditions, while poisons can be applied to your weapons to make them more lethal.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Useful_Potions
Why so many 'overkill' comments this is doing what its trying to do. This easily explains simple potions, however when you wrap your head around it the complex potions soon become simple.
A personal favourite poison of mine for public assassinations is what i call "Still Death" which is made with canis root, imp stool and an ingredient from the dragonborne dlc (cant remember its name). Anyhow if you dont have the dragonborne dlc--the one with the island--i warn you, jealousy lies ahead as it paralyzes the target for 31 seconds doing 62 poison damage initially and continues to do 31 hp/sec damage for 10 seconds. With the poisoner perk this lets you put it in their pocket and go about your business while they suffer in silence. Also, the guards will have no idea it was you haha
I agree, this list is awesome since it gives a full list and what each item is for helping avoiding making poisonous healing, something I always managed to do
I just needed to know what ingredients worked together. this was just overkill
For all you people that are having trouble making potions, I'm going to give you some advice. Take two ingredients let's say, honeycomb and histcarp. Put them in the same mix and select craft. Bam! Potion of Restore Stamina. You're making something really simple into something very complicated.
I was after what ingredients go with each other in order to save the time and hassle. This doesn't explain so update your content.
Awesome
This made no sense to me :/
I been practicin alchemy nearly all my lyfe and I can tell you a thing or two bout potion makin. Not just skyrim bit real potions u can use.
This is probably the most helpful thing I've read on the internet concerning Skyrim. Saved me tons of time and failed potions.
[list]
This has helped me out tonnes. I used to be level 74 but now im 168 thanks to the person who created this list. 😊
Absolutely perfect!thanks!!
For someone who never used Alchemy (cause i couldn't be bothered) i am now needing to do some this list has helped me out 10 fold thanks
How do you make powdered mammoth tusk?
