7 Day Acne Detox

• Effectiveness
  7 Day Acne Detox is the most consistent, safe and (most importantly) effective acne pill we reviewed. Unlike topical creams and gels, 7 Day Acne Detox work from the inside out. It contains powerful ingredients that balance hormones (primary cause of acne) and detoxify the body from impurities (another source of your acne woes). As the name suggests, 7 Day Acne Detox was designed to rid your acne in 7 days. In an unofficial study we conducted, 8/10 users saw significant improvements in their complexion and one was completely acne free after one week. (One saw little to no improvement). On average, it took the users 4 cycles (2 full bottles) to completely rid themselves of acne.
• Safety
  7 Day Acne Detox contains 41 all natural ingredients plus several essential vitamins and minerals. Side note: Be careful when shopping for acne pills. Brands such as Acutane may have nasty side effects, such as birth defects, chron's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, among others.
• Consumer Satisfaction
  7 Day Acne Detox is the Consumer's #2 Choice. It was narrowly beaten out by Biodermazen, due to pricing issues. But keep in mind you get what you pay for. So far we have only found positive consumer reviews and research on 7 Day Acne Detox. Note: this doesn't mean it works for every user. 7 Day Acne Detox's 100% money back guarantee also plays a role in its overwhelmingly positive reviews.
• Value
  Each bottle of 7 Day Acne Detox lasts 28 days and retails $79.95. The $80 price tag is not as bad as it seems. 7 Day Acne Detox contains 6x as many active ingredients per serving (3000mg vs 500mg) compared to the average acne pill, so you get more for less.

Buying Tip: DON'T PAY RETAIL! You can get 7 Day Acne Detox from $33.33 and $49.99 online.

Biodermazen

• Effectiveness
  Biodermazen contains safe and effective ingredients that are clinically proven. Unlike other acne pills that claim they're "clinically proven," Biodermazen actually backs up what they say and provide 3rd party studies for each ingredient. We gave it a 9/10 on effectiveness because our tests concluded that it took 2 weeks for significant reduction in acne. We feel this is due to the lack quantity of ingredeints, 600mg.
• Safety
  Biodermazen is all natural. No subjects reported negative side effects. Be careful when choosing an acne pill - some are very dangerous.
• Consumer Satisfaction
  Bargain hunters love biodermazen. Although it takes longer to work than 7 Day Acne Detox, it still works and it's cheap. We read a few negative reviews. Apparantly, these customers had extremely bad acne and Biodermazen wasn't strong enough.
• Value
  For $17.85 to $25 a bottle, you can't go wrong with Biodermazen. First of all ,it works for most users. Secondly, it comes with a 100% money back guarantee.

Buying Tip: The money back guarantee is only available from one store online. Click here to get it from them from $17.85 to $25 a bottle.

Lipovox

• Effectiveness
  Lipovox is a 3 in 1 pill. Supposedly, it helps you lose weight, reduce acne and smooth wrinkles. It sounds a little too good to be true. To our surprise, it's an excellent acne pill. It's slightly less effective than Biodermazen, but if you have weight to lose, Lipovox is a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Lipovox derives its acne fighting powers from super antioxidants and super foods.
• Safety
  Lipovox is safe. However, if you're sensitive to caffeine, I would start out taking just one pill. Per our calculations, each serving of Lipovox contains 20mg of caffeine (from Green Tea). That's equivalent to 6oz of Coca Cola.
• Consumer Satisfaction
  While it's received mixed reviews, the consumer feedback is still overwhelmingly positive.
• Value
  If you're looking to shed pounds and clear up your acne, Lipovox should be your #1 choice. You'll save money and enjoy the convenience of not shoving capsule after capsule in your mouth. For $22.50-$29.99 you can get a bottle of Lipovox.

Buying Tip: If it doesn't work for acne or weight loss, take advantage of the lifetime money back guarantee. Be aware that Lipovox doesn't refund S&H.

The only store offering the lifetime guarantee is Lipovox.com.
