I really like Pronexin. I use it twice a day and it seems to be working for me!
My acne is healing up right away.

OK,
I have been doing some research on pronexin and came across this thread, and frankly, I am getting very paranoid. Not only does the whole brand, ProNexin, seem extremely fishy but also this thread...

Take a look at the posts. EVERY single person giving praise to pronexin joined just for that purpose. And for all of these people (except for one), that's the only post they have. Forgive me for being overly paranoid if this is just some sort of freak coincidence.


Go on to google and type in "Pronexin" or "Pronexin Reviews" and look at some of the websites. Notice something?

While they have completely different domain names, they all look NEARLY IDENTICAL. Again, forgive me if this is all a freak coincidence.



I went to google again and typed in "pronexin scam". And yet, somehow, I am led to the same websites. What is going on here? So here's my conjecture: PRONEXIN IS A SCAM. That is all there is to it. It seems obvious to me that all of these websites are owned by the same company trying to falsely promote their product. I am going go ahead and say that the people who supported pronexin in this thread are in fact working for pronexin.

Let me read off some of the ingredients from the bottle: Licorice Root, Walnut Shell, Herbal Extract from White Willow, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Silk Peptides, Carrot Seed Oil, and the list goes on...
While these things may be natural as advertised, we inevitably come across one question: How the fuck do they cure acne?!?! Someone please show me some research that shows how licorice roots are supposed to make my acne better.

Bottom Line: DO NOT BUY PRONEXIN

I just ordered pronexin from www.pronexin.com. I didn't receive a confirmation email and when I tried to call, I found the number was disconnected. I was convinced it was a scam, so I sent them a nasty email. It took a couple of days, but I did get a reply. I got it in the mail a few days after I ordered it. I never had bad acne or cystic acne, just seem to always have a few pimples. I used pronexin and the 12-hour acne treatment and it feels great on my skin. It doesn't seem to lather up like most cleansers. The website says to use it once a day, but the bottle says to use it two to three times daily... since more is always better, I will listen to the bottle. I'll post in a few more days to let everyone know how it is working.

Ok here's the deal. I've used pronexin before. Does it work? Hell NO! When i first started using it, my skin broke out more than before. I continued using it thinking it's just a purging period but my skin got so bad that i decided to stop after 2 months of continuous use. I was willing to give it a try but it's ridiculous that my skin doesn't get better after so many months. And to think that it promises to clear your acne in 72 hours. Of course you can try it, maybe it might work for others but i regret ever using it.

[justnow]

I tried pronexin as well, for about a month. It wasn't horrible, but not good either. I tried using it just at night like it said and my skin was so oily at the end of the day I could barely stand it, so I had to go to twice a day. Also, it took FOREVER to completely wash off the soap because it was so oily. It didn't make me break out worse or dry out my skin which was nice, but it definately did not clear my acne. NOT a miracle cure, but it might work for some people. I guess everything is worth a try.

[canadiangirlie]

At 29 I moved to Ontario from out west (Alberta) and I don't know if it was the change in humidity, or what, but my face broke out in the worst acne I had ever experienced. I don't think people even take into consideration that their skin is very sensitive to their environment - Alberta is a very dry climate, and Ontario - being near the Great Lakes, is very humid. Anyway - my face was a battlefield, and it was very depressing.
I tried every over the counter acne cleanser - none of them worked - including ProActive. I changed my diet -- I tried everything. Soon acne SCARS were appearing on my skin, and then this skin lesion that petrified me (near my nose/eye) so I was referred to a dermatologist.
Before my visit (2 month wait), I ordered Pronexin. It appealed to me because of the natural ingredients - I am scared off by all the chemicals in all the other meds - and because the reviews were astounding. I NEVER order anything online btw.
I didn't see a whole lot of difference in the first week, but I persisted, and by the second week I was rewarded by seeing a gradual improvement in my skin. By week three my skin was PERFECT! Not only had Pronexin got rid of ALL of my acne, it has begun to slough away my 'scars' and it had completely gotten rid of that mysterious lesion (the doctor has a name for it by now its a year later and I forget what it is!) and when I went to visit my dermatologist he didn't have to prescribe anything for my skin, and because he couldn't see the lesion anymore, he couldn't really tell me anything about what it was, except perhaps that it had been caused by sun exposure.

Pronexin is amazing, I can't rave about it enough. It's completely natural (which is VERY important), it exfoliates your skin, cleanses, and moisturizes in one step (EASY!) and totally affordable!! To be honest, In addition to using pronexin, because I am now 31 - I also used a variety of moisturizers (from Oil of Olay to other common brands) and nothing affected the results.

One bottle of Pronexin @ $45 (due to shipping) lasted me for almost 8 months, and my skin NEVER broke out. Currently I have not used since June - and in August I began to break out again so I am ordering another bottle today.

[jgolden5]

I've been using pronexin for about 2 weeks. It hasn't made things worse and maybe improved things a little. I just read another post that said to rub gently or you might breakout. I've been pretty rough, so I'll try that. I use it twice a day. It really doesn't remove make up well, but it feels really good on your skin.

[amehmood]

For what its worth.

I tried everything i could find on the market, clearasil, oxy10, garnier..... nothing worked then i came across pronexin, yes it was way more expensive, yes it was something i had never heard off but thought i would give it a try. Placed the order and did not receive a confirmation so sent an email to them and did get a reply. I live in the UK and 10 days after i ordered received the bottle. I have been using it for the last 3 weeks and it has done wonders in fact i have ordered another bottle.

For those that can only criticse, pronexin offer a full money back gurantee.

Am i related to this company in any way no - just sharing my own experience

[blueeyedgirl]

Just got Pronexin in the mail today and I'm really nervous to use it because I also think it's a scam. But, since I'm pretty desperate at this point I'm going to give it a try. So far, I've washed with it once and it made my skin feel very smooth after, but that is most likely the exfoliant. We'll see how this goes long term. I'll post again to let everyone know how it's working

[ThorpedoBowler]

I've been using pronexin for about 4 days now. So far it hasn't worked but I have been rubbing pretty hard and I keep reading to smoothly apply it so I'm going to try that before knocking it. I'll get back on in a few days with a new update. So far however it has not dried out my skin at all which I really like.

[Lulou]

I tried it and sorry to say but not only does it NOT work but there's no way to contact them to get my money back and they charged my credit card twice!!! everytime i try calling their number all i get is a busy line ( i've tried calling at ALL hours of the day and night ). When i received my bottle it was in a plastic envelop and had nothing in it besides the bottle( ne receipt or billing papers) It realy looks like i've been had i'm short 100dollars for one bottle of stuff that stinks and doesn't work!!!

I love how this guy only joined and posted the same day.

I am replying only because I know how frustrating this whole issue can be to obtain accurate feedback. Pronexin is very true to their claim. All natural ingredients is what sold me on the idea. Yes their website and delivery is a bit questionable but this will be my fourth time buying the product. I am actually buying some more today. I just came across this question and I wanted to help my fellow frustrated consumers out there.

The product itself does not leave my face shiny(like benzol peroxide and salicylic acid does) and it minimizes breakouts. I still have some but not in large amounts. (yuck) I have used this along with a mild soap for washing the eye area. I have tried all other products out there from proactiv to over the counter and this by far is the most natural and effective product by far. Even just reading the ingredients makes me feel safe about using pronexin. I totally support pronexin and no I do not work for them.

People, beware of companies like this. Don't make them rich for selling crappy products. Check out this link and judge for yourself: http://blog.natural-acne-solution.com/acne...scam-continues/.

[ThorpedoBowler]

I've been using BP 10% followed up by pronexin and I'm starting to see improvement. What I'm seeing is that the BP is fighting acne while the pronexin keeps my face from drying out. Can't guarantee it'll work but anyone who is willing to try anything it's worth a shot.

*In the morning while in the shower and before bed*

1. Wet face with warm water
2. Gently apply and massage BP on face
3. Wash throughly with warm water but don't dry (need face to be wet for pronexin so no need to dry yet)
4. Apply pronexin and gently massage
5. Wash throughly and pat dry with clean towel

Some people have already mentioned it but all the people in this thread who are saying Pronexin worked for them are new members who just happened to join THAT DAY to tell you how great it is (well, I just joined today to warn people about horrible companies like this but at least I'm trying to do some good D:) People who join just to spam a board once about how great a certain product is are often paid by whatever company makes the product and they definitely can't be trusted.

Also, just for reference, any website like blackheadstreatment.net that has a "top 3 best reviewed products" which they just happen to link to the sales form directly from their site is usually a scam. Most of these sites also claim to "review" other existing products but only tell you how horrible they are in comparison to whatever product they want you to buy.

Companies like this with no ethics annoy me because acne causes such distress to the people who suffer from it and it's not right to prey on their insecurities by using false testimonials to sell a bad product.

Don't be tricked, guys! Stick to tried-and-true methods or prescription treatments!

Well I did just make an account to respond to this, but I'm not some robot working for Pronexin. xD My doctor told me once that I dont have a..or part of an enzyme in my skin that breaks down infection, which makes me skin sensitive times infinity. I couldnt wear clothes for the first 5/6 years of my life because basic clothing gave me a rash. I've tried prescribed topical creams, Differin(blackheads) Works like a charm. Clindoxyl(to suppress zits) Also works amazingly and Bacroban..because I've never in my life had a normal zit. They're always huge infected...make the whole face swollen kind of zit. I wish I could say that's an exaggeration. Even though they help I still would get acne time to time. I still would suggest the combo of those over anything, even though it runs you 80+ canadian dollars for all of them.

But recently I tried Neutrogena's Skin ID stuff, I got the strongest stuff and best for sensitive skin...and I think even their strongest stuff is geared for uncomplicated acne.

Now as for PRONEXIN

I just got my bottles yesterday, and I accidentally scrubbed too hard which I forgot to go gently, so the walnut shell stimulated my skin and caused me to get two zits in the center of my cheeks. (I look like Pikachu) and I never get zits there. Ever. So I thought oh crap what have I done?

But the two zits themselves are small, dont hurt, and arent infected. And even sitting here at work with makeup on...which normally makes my zits hurt and get bigger throughout the day...arent. Instead of other cleansers making you think your face feels clean by giving it that menthol cold burning feeling.. this actually makes my face feel clean. That little 12 hour miracle stick that comes with the two bottles actually works well. And it does dry out your skin because Witch Hazel and a few other of the natural products do that. I suggest Cocoon. Aside from ordering it online I've only been able to find it at FABUTAN stores. It's got the highest concentration of Amino acids for a reasonable price. I used to have an acne scar above my lip the size of a dime, and the acids are basically building blocks for cell development, I kid you not it took away the scar completely. And it's a really light moisturizer that's also of the natural route so I dont think it will clash with Pronexin. I dont really think it's a scam otherwise their guarentee would be entirely counter productive. They already only make .33 cents a bottle.

Basically think of pharmacutical drugs, Tylenol for instance.. it doesnt cure your fever it pushes it deeper into your system. Natural path suppliments draw the fever out. People want a quick fix and it isnt always the best for you. Natural things take a bit longer but they often help just as well in the long run. And I challenge anyone to find someone with worse case skin than me, haha so I'll give it the 72 hours it says and let you know what happens.

It does say it doesnt work for 98% of people and makes their acne worse. Wanna know why? Because you're allergic to one of the components, most likely.

Oops I meant does work for 98% of people. And 2% it doesnt. -_- Sorry

I guess the numbers in your first post were more accurate. Funny to see how you joined on the 21st, made only 2 contributions in this thread and disappeared again. If anyone still believes this is not a scam, well...

I noticed that EVERY person that has made positive comments about the product had made a new account and then vanished. What a shitty way to promote one's product.
