After literally spending a weekend at the bookstore (I did go home to sleep I admit) I came up with a grocery list ALL NATURAL Acne Fighting vitamins, minerals, herbs, and exotic oils from around the world. I went to my local health food store and I spent a whopping $217.97 on these all natural acne fighting ingredients (and that’s the price after my club card discount!!)
I ALSO had a list of ingredients that wreak havoc on our skin and actually make Acne Worse! I went home and sure enough EVERY PRODUCT in my shower and counter top (12 different products) had AT LEAST 3 of these harmful acne causing chemicals in them. No wonder none of them ever worked!
I went to work and made my first (and only) prototype of “the world’s most expensive homemade acne treatment”. My kitchen smelled like a flower shop for a week and I made the biggest mess you can imagine. But what I made changed my life and the lives of thousands of other former acne sufferers forever.
After washing and rinsing from the very first use something amazing happened…
My skin wasn’t itchy, red, and dry!
It was silky smooth and softer than ever before!
So I gave my formula to one of the world’s biggest cosmetic manufacturers and told them to make a prototype and BE SURE to NOT use any of the following ingredients:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate which are all artificial soaps that act like detergants that can be major irritants.
Parabens - So many people are allergic to these preservatives and the allergic reaction comes in the form of acne. I use a paraben free preservative that is much more expensive but safe and easy on the skin.
Lanolin - This is made from the sebaceous glands of sheep and many people are allergic to it.
Anti foaming agents like silicones and dimethicone which leave nasty films that coat your body.
Dangerous Prescriptions
Mineral Oil - This is made from petroleum by products, cheap and is in almost everything.
Animal By-products - Sorry this has to be said. The word 'by-products' means those parts not used for anything else. Usually this includes the spinal cord.
Glycolic acid & Chemical peels - These chemicals strip important nutrients out of your skin that our product adds to help your skin heal. We don't use them and we especially don't recommend you use them with our product.
Red Dye #2, or any other artificial coloring - You've already heard all the crazy stuff about these colorings and supposedly what kind of troubles they can cause. We just don't use any. Our product comes in its natural color and we don’t alter Acnetix so it looks prettier – We only care that it Makes You Prettier!
Benzoyl Peroxide - If you leave too much of this on your skin for too long it could burn a hole right through it. This chemical can be very dangerous and counterproductive.
My results?
2 weeks on Acnetix and I'm a good 90% acne free. It took about 1 week before I noticed anything but this is working incredible now. I've had decent results with products in the past and then the results later fade away. So I'm hoping thats not the case with Acnetix but I'm always skeptical.
So far so good. I'm still a skeptic though. Hopefully these results last because my skin is better than its ever been for a long long time.
I think Acnetix is worth trying people.
- shouldn't need a moisturizer, although i still use one (i use less though because skin isn't as dry). when you use the scrub it feels like the oil in the scrub absorbs into the skin. the product itself doesn't seem oily though. some may feel like there's a residue after rinsing but i interpret that as the healthy oils that are left behind.
- definitely makes skin feel healthier. it's non-drying.
- i've used the product i think 7 times over the past 3/4 days.
- i'm not 100% sure it clears acne effectively. i seem to be getting whiteheads, but i'll continue to use the product for some more time before i give a final conclusion.
- i'll update as i use the product.
- i would say that my skin is mild to moderate with acne. i've used proactiv before trying acnetix. i find proactiv over-drying with fading results. it was awesome when i first used it.
You can really smell the rosemary in it..it smells good but at first ur like whoa...its WAY better than the boiled egg smell of proactiv

I have been on this product for two days now.
Day one, I applied it, the exfoliation was gentle and did not hurt like Pro-active does. it smells great, sorta like after-shave!
Day two, My skin felt softer the next morning and though the pimples and blackheads were still there, they were less raised, and my skin felt smoother.
So far this product has done more than proactive has done in six months, and I don't have to use three different bottles to get the right formula, Proactive made me feel like I was making meth with all the bottles and stuff.
I have acne severely on my back, and it works even there, but opposed to some reviews here, it has taken care of my lil' blackheads and pimples, but the big ones, though shrunk, still remain, and I think they'll be gone soon.
Great buy, cheaper than Proactive _great_ value for the money
i don't know whether to buy it or not.
i've been hearing different things about this.
i hear it's a scam, and then i hear it's amazing and a miracle acne 'get rid of er!'
so what do i beleive?
someone help me out here!
not every skin care product works for every single person out there. We all have different skin types.
Personally, i've never used it, but looking at the ingredients I am more than happy to try this product.
There is not one ingredient that is unnatural or chemically formed.
I am about to purchase the product myself. I'll keep you posted on how it works for me.
THANK YOU
