Our Final Conclusions |
We feel the DEEP
acne system is the best based on these factors.
1. No auto-ship
or membership is required like most others acne systems.
2. It is made in
a FDA approved lab.
3. The face wash
left our face feeling smooth, cool, and oil free.
4. DEEP is the
only system to feature a
Triclosan formula
in the spot treatment.
5.
We found the supplement that DEEP includes to be a key
element to having clear skin which most products don't have. |
We liked
acnezine because it comes with a dietary supplement similar
to the DEEP supplement. The
cream is good, if it were made with an ingredient other than
peroxide it would be better.
We also like the
six month guarantee which is the best of all products. |
Zenmed is a
great system. The supplement is very affective in regulating
you body and clearing acne from the inside. The spot
treatment is made up of quality ingredients.
The facial
cleanser does not have any active ingredients to eliminate
the oil and bacteria fully.
We also believe
that Zenmed is overpriced at around one hundred dollars for
each package. It is possible to find a better priced system
that is just as sufficient. |
Murad is an
average acne system. The face wash and spot treatment's
active ingredient are the same.
What we did not
like about the system is the lotion. It seems to be a simple
lotion to hydrate your skin, which you can find at any drug
store for cheaper.
We also do not
like when you are required to sign up for the auto-shipment
each month. |
Proactiv
is the most popular because they spend millions each year in
celebrity endorsements, not because their products are
better than others.
The facial
cleanser is made with Benzoyl Peroxide. This will leave your
skin feeling itchy and dry.
Proactiv is
notorious for requiring you to sign up for auto-ship each
month.
We would rather
go with another system even if Jessica Simpson does not
claim to use it. |
