Hydroxatone
Hydroxatone is supposed to be an anti aging revolution that will help you to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and otherwise the visible signs of aging. They claim that you can get rid of age spots, boost collagen production, prevent future wrinkles from even occurring, condition skin, and protect your skin from sun damage with SPF 15. They claim that it uses the powerful ingredient known as Matrixyl for greater results.
History of Hydroxatone
Hydroxatone is a product developed by a well known Dr Fiorillo. They claim that he is a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon. He is internationally recognized for books and publications that he has written, and he has founded the Rockland Plastic Surgery Center and Escape Medi Spa in New York. Considering he has to use the “risk free trial” ploy, this will likely not work.
Benefits
They have a number of ingredients, but they only actually name 3. These 3 are matrixyl, argireline, and hyaluronic acid. Matrixyl is the only one that actually produces more collagen and elastin. Argireline only relaxes muscles which produces fast results, but it does not sustain them for long. In addition, hyaluronic acid is only a moisturizer. So the fact that they even name that as one of their active ingredients is a bad thing. The simple fact is that they don’t disclose a full ingredients list, because they don’t have any other ingredients that are worthwhile and those only come in small amounts.
Possible side effects
Possible side effects include redness, irritation, burning, itching, flaking, burning sensations, dry skin, rash, inflammation, sensitivity to the sun, peeling, and dryness.
Conclusion
We would not recommend using Hydroxatone. It doesn’t have the right ingredients at all, and it does not help your skin. In fact, it could very well damage your skin, and of course the actual manufacturers already know that. It was not developed by any kind of certified doctor, let alone a plastic surgeon. It just means that they paid one off to say that he created it.
I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYBODY ABOUT TO TRY THIS “FREE TRIAL”,IT COST ME £95,WHICH I DO NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK,DO NOT GIVE YOUR BANK CARD DETAILS AS THEY JUST TAKE MONEY FROM YOUR ACCOUNT!!PLEASE READ THE SMALL PRINT,ALTHOUGH I STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT,HAVING READ IT!! I THINK IT IS JUST A SCAM!!! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!

I ordered the “free” bottle and reacted to it. A lot of burning. I called to set up a return and was talked into trying the sensitive skin product but paying up front. Hopefully it will work.

I just tried it today from a sample sent to me by a friend. I can really feel the “stiffness” in the areas where I applied it and I really CAN see the difference in the mirror after only 90 seconds. I’m concerned though that after continued use of this product you could have saggy skin. Would like to know what long term effects have been reported.

I purchased this product under the suppossed “free trial” offer. There is no “free” with this product! I was told I had to buy one to get one free and that I could return for full refund in 30 days if not happy. Well I got sick, never got to the product until a 30 days later and well it does nothing for the skin. Didn’t cause any problem but didn’t even fell good going on or once set. Even cheep creams making no “magic claims” go on the skin nice and make you skin feel good to the touch. I learned a lesson and was lucky it wasn’t a too expensive one. When you see something marketed on TV only, without giving a list of the ingredients buyer beware. I didn’t even look for the ingredients until I recieved the product and other than the matrixil there was not a list. That should have screamed to me DON’T TRUST, THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING!!

I got this product on the free trial and am I glad! After 3 days of use i got red spots and burning on my face. I looked WORSE than I had before I started using this. It is definitely a gimmick. I’m going back to my all natural products and I guess I will age gracefully.
