Background
Acne in Review examines Actimine – a dietary supplement that can help limit the frequency and severity of chronic acne breakouts.
Actimine’s blend of ingredients has been designed with years of acne research in mind. Its developers have studied the mechanisms responsible for regulating natural sebum production and identify ways to effectively reduce sebum production. Actimine is a formulation of natural ingredients that helps to manage the primary causes of acne from the inside out.
Specifically, Actimine offers the following…
• An all natural dietary supplement
• Results seen within the first two weeks of treatment
• 180 day money-back guarantee
To benefit from Actimine, users are advised to take two capsules in the morning and one capsule in the evening with 8 ounces of water (45-60 days of continuous use is necessary for optimum results.)
Ingredients
Our Acne in Review Treatment Teams was impressed to see that Actimine contains a lot of active natural ingredients:
• Vitamin A 5000 IU
• Selenium 50 mcg
• Vitamin E 200 IU
• Zinc 10 mg
• Methylsulfonyl Methane 1500 mg
• Gum Guggul Ext. 50 mg
Containing vitamin A (which has shown to reduce sebum production) as well as vitamin E and Selenium Actimine appears to be a powerful combination of acne fighters.
Acne in Review discovered that people with vitamin E deficiency, typically have low vitamin A levels too, but when vitamin E is restored, vitamin A levels normalize – which is why it is important to have both these vitamins in combination. Plus, Selenium plays a crucial role in preventing acne inflammation.
Actimine also includes Zinc and methylsulfonyl methane. Zinc is an important nutrient for healthy skin and Methylsulfonyl methane improves the permeability of cell walls allowing nutrients to flow in and out of cells with ease. This helps deliver nutrients to cells and dispose of waste. As well, studies show that Guggul is more effective than Tetraclycline.
Website
Our team found the Actimine website a bit hard to navigate. Most of the information was presented in a long scroll down format on the home page. However, the site was narrow making it easy on the eyes and the colours used help display the information effectively.
Along the top, browsers will find a helpful Supplement Facts, an FAQ section and an About Us page. They also have a page devoted to acne facts, which our Acne in Review team found helpful and informative.
Actimine is manufactured by Progressive Health, which is a privately held company founded in 1997. Progressive Health claims to have eliminated the typical hassles of a traditional business (such as overhead and fixed costs) and therefore able to allocate more resources to research and development.
Lifestyle
We were impressed by the medical articles and cited information from credible sources that Actimine uses to back up their product’s claims. Nothing speaks louder than real scientific facts about a product’s effectiveness. However at Acne in Review, we felt that this information was far too technical for the website’s audience.
We were impressed to see that their product and similar supplements have been subject to clinical trials that yielded positive results. Results which are backed up by a bunch of customer testimonials.
Pros
Actimine offers a fantastic 180-day money-back guarantee. If buyers are unsatisfied for any reason with the acne supplement, they can simply return all empty or unused bottles and receive a credit for 100% of the product’s purchase price – no questions asked.
Cons
Our Acne in Review team felt that the price point for Actimine was fairly expensive, especially for those on a tight budget. You can purchase one bottle of the acne supplement for $59.95 plus S&H. Their ground shipping is $15.44 which is also on the higher end of the shipping rates.
One bottle of Actimine holds enough capsules for 30 servings. The minimum serving size is 3 capsules. They recommend 60 days of continuous use for the best results, which would be a minimum of 2 bottles since the maximum serving size is 6 capsules.
Tricks
Actimine has a few offers on their site to help their customers save some money. If you purchase 3 bottles of Actimine you get your fourth bottle free, for a total of $179.85. When you purchase 4 bottles of Actimine you receive two more bottles free, for a total of $239.81.
