Treating Acne vs. Preventing Acne

With such a large portion of the population affected by unsightly acne breakouts, it is very important to know which products work and which ones are a waste of time and money. Acne treatment products tend to fall into two categories: those that diminish blemishes that are already present and those that take preventative measures to reduce the frequency and abundance of breakouts. Dermajuv Acne Treatment System is of the former category, while we tend to recommend more products of the latter type. Most acne treatment products contain one or both of these two common ingredients:

Benzoyl Peroxide
Salicylic Acid

However, both tend to be responsible for a host of unwanted side effects including skin redness, irritation, rash, or worse. Dermajuv claims that they have found a new, all-natural ingredient that reduces blemishes equally as well as Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, but has no potential for side effects. We took this opportunity to investigate these claims and decide whether or not they might be valid.

What is in Dermajuv Acne Treatment System?

The ingredient that Dermajuv Acne Treatment System substitutes for the more common acne treatment ingredients is called Resveratrol. It is derived from the skin of grapes and helps fight off bacteria in plants. Despite Dermajuv’s claims, there have been no tests of Resveratrol’s ability to fight acne. The only tests on mammals have examined its anti-oxidant properties and it takes a very high concentration to produce any positive results. Dermajuv claims that their Acne Treatment System is not only reduces blemishes in a manner equal to Benzoyl peroxide, but that the anti-oxidant properties of Resveratrol help sooth and rejuvenate your skin making you look younger. Unfortunately, none of these claims can be verified by science and this simple fact makes the exorbitant price of Dermajuv Acne Treatment System ludicrous.

Guaranteed?

Dermajuv Acne Treatment System comes with a supposed 30-day satisfaction guarantee. However, there are some odious guidelines in the fine print. They do not offer any refund on opened merchandise, so you can only get a refund on unopened bottles. Plus, they charge a restocking fee of $7 per returned bottle. How can you decide whether a product works for you or not if you cannot open it? The whole system costs $80 (lowest price we could find) for a 30-45 day supply. That is much more expensive than some of the best products we have reviewed. And, without a real satisfaction guarantee or even any science to back up their claims, it seems most likely to be a waste of time and money.
