Ingredients

Acne Treatment Foaming Wash:
Active Ingredient: Salicylic Acid 2.0%
Acne Treatment Toner: Active Ingredient: Salicylic Acid 2.0%
Acne Treatment Lotion: Active Ingredient: Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%

Acne Treatment Foaming Wash and Acne Treatment Toner
* Salicylic Acid 2.0% → A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) with keratolytic activity to help open clogged sebaceous follicles. It helps dissolve the top layers of the stratum corneum cells and remove impurities, improving the look and feel of the skin. Also antiseptic and fungicidal.

Acne Treatment Lotion
* Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% → An antibacterial agent commonly used in acne treatments. It functions by forcing an oxidant (peroxide) into pilosebaceous follicle where it releases oxygen, thereby diminishing the P. acne population. This reduces the level of toxic, corrosive fatty acids and inflammation activity.

Summary

Healthy Body Report’s research on the SkinMedica Acne System:

This system actually surprised me as I was doing my research. When we think of acne treatment systems, SkinMedica is very rarely in the list we come up with, yet this is a system that can compete with the best products on the market. It’s 3 step system is so simple; wash – tone – protect, yet the results are virtually astonoshing. We had trouble finding any negative feedback about the product, and were inundated with information relating to positve views and very happy customers.

Verdict:

If the SkinMedica Acne System is not on your list of products to try, it should be. I’m giving this 4 and a half stars out of 5, which shows just how impressed i am with it.

Customer Feedback

“I expect that this product does work for some people. It certainly didn’t for me. In fact, it made my acne worse. When I initially used the product I thought I saw some slight improvement. Then in the second month, the acne got really bad (which the website warns that it will as your body supposedly cleanses your skin of toxins), then in the fourth month I started to see some slight improvement (from the second month) but certainly not better than before I started. By my fifth month I was frustrated.”

- Segment of actual user feedback on www.acne-forum.com

“I switched over to Clear Pores after I had a terrible skin condition by using Accutane. I had so much of problems not to forget the embarrassment and nervousness in social gatherings and at work by using Accutane. After I started Clear Pores it did take time and as I sticked on to it for two months I could see a considerable reduction in my acne. So would recommend this product to others.”

Summary

Healthy Body Report’s unbiased research on Revitol Acnezine:

The research we have done highlights Acnezine as a reliable product for treating all types of mild to moderate acne. We found a number of cases where users found the product not to work as well as Revitol claims, or not at all, however they are definitely the minority of feedback we found. Like many products, a small selection of users may not achieve the desired results, which in no way means the product is bad.

In some customers side affects of the product did occur including redness, burning, itching and possible swelling. Side affects were not common in our research however.

Verdict:

While the Acnezine System has been effective for many customers, we believe for the price and type of product, the Derma Cleanse System is a much better product.
