Overview

Acnezine is a skin care program designed to treat and prevent acne outbreaks. A Revitol product, Acnezine is intended to relieve mild to moderate acne as an effective alternative to antibiotic topical or oral treatment. The Acnezine skin care management system is available without a prescription at the official website and at many online stores.

The Problem

Acne usually results from clogged pores. Pores may be clogged as a result of overactive oil glands, which cause excessive oiliness on the skin, which in turn prevents dead skin cells from shedding. This leads to an environment where anaerobic bacteria that cause acne can grow. Acnezine targets both the problem of clogged pores and bacterial proliferation.

Features

The Acnezine official website states that users see clear skin within weeks. Because acne can be difficult to control, the individual must continue to use the treatment to prevent new pimples from developing. A person using Acnezine applies a topical cream one to three times daily, and takes a supplement capsule once a day as well. The capsule should be taken on a empty stomach at any time of day. The Acnezine official website offers a free 2-month supply with a 4-month purchase. They also offer a money-back guarantee, which applies to unopened products.

Topical Cream

The Acnezine topical cream includes 5 percent benzoyl peroxide, a commonly used strength, as the active ingredient. Some acne medications use 10 percent benzoyl peroxide, but they are more likely to cause side effects. Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most prevalent acne treatments and is included in a wide variety of products. This substance reduces oiliness, thus helping the skin slough off dead skin cells that can block pores. It also introduces oxygen into pores to kill acne-causing bacteria that cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment, as explained by Acne Shop. Additionally, benzoyl peroxide has anti-inflammatory properties, so it decreases swelling and redness associated with acne. The product also contains many inactive ingredients to form the cream base, some of which can help relieve benzoyl peroxide side effects. They include aloe vera, honey and willow bark extract.

Supplement

The Acnezine nutritional supplement contains vitamins, aloe vera, collagen, coenzyme Q10, curcumin C3 complex, hyaluronic acid and other ingredients. The purpose of the supplement, according to the official website, is to boost the immune system in order to fight acne-causing bacteria and eliminate free radicals that can cause cell damage.

Side Effects

Benzoyl peroxide can cause skin dryness, mild stinging and redness, according to the Mayo Clinic. The Acnezine official website states that the capsule supplement does not cause side effects. Ray Sahelian, a medical doctor who writes about natural supplements, states he has received reports from individuals who developed a rash after taking hyaluronic acid supplements. Additionally, coenzyme Q10 supplementation may cause side effects of heartburn, lack of appetite, nausea, diarrhea and low blood pressure, according to eMedTV.
