Acnetix Review

While a lot of people dismiss occasional bouts of acne as a part and parcel of teenage years for others the condition can quickly aggravate into a debilitating issue which can mar the quality of their personal and professional life. Acute and chronic acne is marked by the frequent and extreme eruption of painful pustules which can greatly impact the sufferer’s confidence level leading to psychological issues such as chronic shyness and even depression. Fortunately, there are several products in the market designed to combat this ungainly dermatological problem; however, not all of them produce the rave results publicized in advertisements.

A fairly new product in the market is Acnetix, so if you have been mulling over buying it, here is in depth information on what the product is all about, its ingredients how it works and its pros and cons that will help you to make an informed purchasing decision

What is Acnetix?

One among a growing breed of anti acne products with lofty claims, Acnetix is a watery solution that has to be applied on the face twice a day According to its manufacturer’s, the preparation is 100% natural and helps to clear 99.7% acne in one week flat. Acnetix also states that the herbal ingredients of their product help to foster healthy skin and clear complexion. However, the 7 day statement alone is enough to raise doubts about the veracity of the claim when even the leading products in the market refrain from offering such an overtly optimistic time frame.

The ingredients

The manufacturers of Acnetix sure are right when they say that their product is natural. Unfortunately, the term natural cannot necessarily be equated with efficacy. So, it would be safe to suggest that while there are no chemical substances used in the preparation, few of them can produce the desired results. The long list of herbal ingredients includes:

• Tea tree oil: Is a natural antiseptic; however, it cannot yield the same results as benzoyl peroxide
• White willow: Contains salicin which is converted into modest amounts o salicylic acid
• Vitamin E: is a moisturizer
• Retinol A: works to moisturize the skin
• Green tea: rich in anti oxidants but does not help in case of acne
• Oat flour: serves as a scrub
• Redmond clay: acts as a base for the product and moisturizes skin
• Walnut shell: serves as scrub
• Aloe vera: acts as a moisturizer
• Gotu kola: enhances memory and concentration
• Chapparal: used for curing arthritis and cold
• Jojoba: an essential oil which is somewhat effective against acne
• Alfalfa: contains some vitamin E
• etc

While many of these items do produce mild moisturizing effect, none of them can help in case of acne. In fact, these substances are simply no match to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, which are traditionally used in anti acne preparations.

How does it work?

Acnetix is a cleanser and works like any ordinary product in the category; the ingredients clean the pores, helping to remove the accumulated grime and killing infection producing bacteria in the process. This can make the skin appear clear for a while but does not assist in getting rid of acne.

The pros

• It’s made from natural ingredients including some essential natural oils such as bergamot
• It does not include any chemical ingredients
• It’s easy on the skin
• The product comes with a money back guarantee
• The preparation is available in a huge bottle which can last up to 4 months, depending on usage

The cons

• For $40, Acnetix is one of the more expensive products in the market; unfortunately, it is nothing more than a moisturizer
• The fact that the manufacturers offer a 4 month supply of the product is enough to refute their claims of 7 day guaranteed results
• The company, Revivea Laboratories does not have a physical presence and the manufacturer fails to offer any information about the organization apart from a sales email id
• Acnetix is not backed by scientific tests
• Acnetix does not contain any natural or chemical product that can control acne eruptions
• It does not help to control the skin inflammation and redness associate with acne
• The product contains several oil rich natural substances; this can prove detrimental for a user who suffers from acne as the excess oil combined with the secretions of sebaceous glands can only serve to aggravate the condition

The verdict

Acnetix is another anti acne product that only plays on the sentiments of people who suffer from acne without yielding any real results. Although some of the ingredients used in the product can help to moisturize the skin improving its appearance, Acnetix fails to deliver when used solely as an anti acne preparation.
