Actimine Takes a Vitamin-Based Approach
Actimine is a vitamin-based supplement that has received some discussion in the acne world because even though it is not an antibiotic, it still treats acne in capsule form. The product, which is manufactured by consumer drug company Progressive Health, can be ordered over-the-counter and is affordable at $29.95 a month.
The big question, of course, is whether it really works. Progressive Health claims to stand completely behind the product by offering a full refund if you are not satisfied within 180 days. This essentially gives you a free, no risk trial to see if it works for you, but before you order it is important to know what is in each capsule so you can be sure about what you are putting into your body.
According to Progressive Health, each capsule contains a mixture of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, selenium, zinc, methylsulfonyl methane and gum guggul. You take three capsules a day, either before a meal or with food.
So what will all of those ingredients do? Well, Vitamin A is a common ingredient in acne medications since it is known to reduce the buildup of sebum and keratin, which are the main components of pimples. Zinc, which is commonly used to improve skin health, is believed to slow the production of sebum and keratin as well. Gum guggul is thought to have some effectiveness in treating nodular or cystic acne, but the jury is still out on this one because it has not yet been extensively studied.
The nice thing about actimine, obviously, is that it makes sure your body has a healthy supply of those vitamins that may be effective in acne treatment. You are certainly not going to hurt yourself by taking it (unless you are allergic to an ingredient, in which case this treatment should be avoided) and, again, some of the ingredients in actimine are used in other acne medications. If a deficiency of key vitamins and minerals is contributing to your acne levels, Progressive Health claims to have the answer. And, assuming they are ready to make good on the refund policy, there is little risk if you are not satisfied with the results after several weeks.
