Acnezine
Submitted By:

Overview
Acnezine is a two part system that includes a capsule supplement that is taken once a day, along with a topical solution that is applied directly to the skin, much like conventional acne treatments. Acnezine claims to produce a more complete anti-acne effect, since the capsules are meant to control oil, inflammation and encourage the production of healthy skin from the inside out, while the topical formula addresses existing acne. While this does seem to be a sensible approach, only a thorough investigation by the research team at ClearSkinReviews.com would verify these claims. 

Featured Ingredients
The Acnezine topical solution does seem to include ingredients that will clear acne. Unfortunately, the main active ingredient used is Benzoyl Peroxide. Once popular in the 1970s and 1980s, Benzoyl Peroxide has fallen out of favor with dermatologists and is gradually being replaced by newer, preferred compounds such as Salicylic Acid. The fact is that Benzoyl Peroxide, though it does heal acne and kill many acne-causing bacteria, is quite harsh in the skin and may cause drying and flaking in as many as 75% of those who use it.

The Acnezine topical solution contains many botanical ingredients in addition to Benzoyl Peroxide, including Lavender extract, Goldenseal, Aloe Vera and Chamomile, which seem to be included for their ability to soothe the skin and counteract the irritation caused by Benzoyl Peroxide. But we have to wonder if these extracts would have been necessary if Acnezine simply contained less irritation compounds like Salicylic Acid, Inflacin or Silicol Dioxide. 

The Acnezine capsule supplement contains many naturally based ingredients, such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are traditionally used to reduce wrinkles and foster moisturization in the skin. Apart from these effects, however, there is no research provided by the company to verify that any of these ingredients will treat or prevent acne internally.

Web Site at a Glance
The Acnezine web site is quite comprehensive. A clear explanation of the product and a full listing of ingredients is included, which is better than most products on the market. Customer testimonials are included, and a free offer is available if a customer signs up for autoship. With the time that was taken to build the site, however, we feel it would have been equally useful to include any research on the ingredients backing up their acne fighting claims.

Pros
- Topical solution will help clear acne

- Calming botanicals included to counteract Benzoyl Peroxide’s harsh effects

Cons
- Benzoyl Peroxide not the optimum choice to treat acne

- Lack of scientific research on botanical ingredients and effect on acne

- No scientific basis for nutritional supplement and its effect on acne

Summary
Acnezine surely seems better than other topical solution-supplement combinations that we have reviewed, but this formula also falls short. To make this product more effective, the makers should probably have used Salicylic Acid in the topical formula instead of Benzoyl Peroxide. Given the fact that the supplement’s ingredients cannot be substantiated, taking this formula may improve overall skin texture, but we cannot be sure if it will be of any use against acne.
