Acnezine

[winger52]

While browsing on the internet I came across a product called ACNEZINE, which claims to cure or treat acne with minimal side effects.  It is an internally taken medicine and frankly seems to be too good to be true.  Have you heard of this medicine, and as far as you know does it have any value?

I have not heard of this until you brought it to my attention.  Googling it brought up several herbal medicine sites.  It contains 'antioxidants' and comes with endorsements ('Doctor recommended') and implied promises ('guaranteed results.')  But what evodence is there that antioxidants work for acne?  Which doctors recommended it?  What was in it for them to do so?  How can anyone guarantee any treatment, regardless of what kind?

You can draw your own conclusions.

Hi....I have had acne since the age of 16 and have tried many over the counter treaments but none have really had any impact on my acne. I am currently using a herbal acne pill called acnezine which i came across on the internet. I have been taking it for 5+ weeks now and after the 1st week of use my acne actually got alot worse and started to become infected. I contated thier support team and i was reasured that this was normal and shud clear up within 3-4 weeks. My skin is still as bad as the 2nd week of taking this product with no improvements wat so ever. I contacted them a 2nd time and they r now saying that it takes between 2-4 months before you see any difference. I feel as though i am being given false information just so that i purchase more bottles. Is this true, that it can take up to 2-4 months before any results are seen or should i stop taking this product and try accutane. ty
