Acnezine

via Acne Scar Removal by admin on 6/24/10

Acnezine is a acne management system that is supposed to help heal and prevent acne blemishes on the inside out. Each Acnezine comes with a Acne Moisturizing Creme and Skin Antioxidant Supplement, each lasting approximately 30 days.

Ingredients

Acne Moisturizing Creme has 1 active ingredient and that is Benzoyl Peroxide 5%. This is a pretty high concentration so if you have sensitive skin I do not suggest using the cream. Benzoyl Peroxide is effective at killing the acne causing bacteria P. acnes. Benzoyl Peroxide is a very harsh chemical that will increase the dryness of your skin and may cause burning, itching, peeling and possibly swelling. What benzoyl peroxide cannot do it reduce the production of sebum which is a big factor in treating acne, so once you stop using this harsh chemical you can count on your acne coming back.
The other half of the Acnezine acne treatment kit is the Antioxidant Supplement:

• Ester C gives you a luminous appearance by improving your skin's elasticity and reducing fine lines and discoloration
• Vitamin E promotes healing and helps reduce the appearance of acne scars as well as softening your skin.
• Aloe Vera Powder promotes skin renewal and will help remove acne scars quickly. It helps limit the amount of scar tissue your body can produce, which will help prevent future scarring.
• Alpha Lipoic Acid reduces pore size, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. R-ALA is a powerful antioxidant that destroys free radicals and protects your skin cells from damage
• Collagen Type II is taken from the chicken's sternum cartilage and used to reduce inflammation and rebuild articular cartilage and structural protein found in joints
• CoQ10- As we age our body's lose the ability to manufacture proper amounts of CoQ10.  Our bodies lose the ability to produce collagen and elastin. CoQ10 neutralizes free radicals caused by environmental factors and sun exposure.
• Cucumin C3 Complex promotes superior wound healing and possess anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants
• Hyaluronic Acid penetrates deep into the skin to restore volume and smooth out scars, wrinkles and creases.
• Other Ingredients: Vitamins B6, B12, B1, B2

Is Acnezine Effective?

Acnezine offers a quality acne treatment, but as an acne scar remover it isn't the best. There really isn't much to the Acne Moisturizing Creme, all you basically get is benzoyl peroxide. I, personally am not a fan of benzoyl peroxide for many reasons. There are so many alternatives to this harsh chemical that don't cause swelling, redness, flaking and dryness. Although I do appreciate their efforts in adding a number of essential oils and skin soothing compounds to make up for it.
Acnezines Antioxidant Supplement on the other hand has an impressive ingredient profile. There are many acne scar removal ingredients that may benefit your skin and speed up the healing process.
Will these products alone give you the drastic results you are looking for? Probably not. You may need to find a topical acne scar removal cream with more collagen building and scar lightening ingredients. I recommend Acnezine if you have frequent breakouts and light scarring.

Value

Acnezine sells for $35.99 but there are a few ways to get this product for less. The first thing you can do is buy it in bulk, this makes Acnezine as little as $26.99 per bottle. A trick we learned is if you try to leave your shopping cart a 10% discount will be offered after you press the back button on your browser.  Shipping and handling is a real doozy, 1st class mail is just under $11 and can take 7-10 days to arrive , where 2-4 day shipping is roughly $18! Shipping Insurance is automatically added to your purchase for $3.99 so be sure you check the box to decline if you don't want to be billed the extra four dollars.
Acnezine does have a 90 Return Policy which is a lot better than some companies but you can only return your unopened, unused bottles for a refund, which is pretty tricky. There is also an additional $10 re-stocking fee.
If you signed up for Acnezine's free trial offer you will be charged $119.93  for their Free refill program unless you cancel within 14 days. The free refill program is non-refundable.
I highly suggest you avoid the free trial and free refill program. The best place to purchase Acnezine is from the official website, Acnezine.com
