An Overview of Hydroxatone
Hydroxatone refers to a line of products which claim to be an alternative to Botox treatments. According to the product’s website, it has appeared in publications such as USA Today, TV Guide as well as Newsweek, even though the links to the actual articles are not there, which may mean that they were just advertisements.
The website is user-friendly. It contains a standard amount of information for the product besides some ‘Before and After’ customer photos, testimonials as well as diagrams explaining the working of Hydroxatone. There is a section on the co-developer of the line, Dr. Michael Fiorillo, who is a cosmetic surgeon and a skin specialist. No FAQ section is featured and a large part of the site is devoted to the free trial offer as well as ordering information.
Even though Hydroxatone was scientifically developed and shows exact statistics regarding its performance, no clinical trials have been provided as proof.
Hydroxatone – Product Details
The Hydroxatone line is basically a four step program which contains two products in each step. The Cleansing step contains a microdermabrasion formula as well as a ‘milky’ cleanser. Step two is Balancing, which is a toner and skin brightener. Step three is ‘Rejuvenating’ which has the AM/PM Treatment as well as Under Eye Cream and finally the ‘Finishing’ step contains Instant Lift Pads besides an Instant Wrinkle Filler.
The individual ingredients have not been listed for each product even though they are known to contain the ‘Hydroxatone 10 Complex’, which comprises of patented ingredients Matrixyl 3000, Argireline as well as Hyaluronic Acid. These are combined along with the anti-oxidants Green Tea, Grape Seed besides Pine Bark as well as a U.V. ray protector, SPF 15. Details have been given on how all the products work, but the overall effect is that wrinkles get reduced, age spots diminish and collagen production is boosted.
All the products can be ordered separately or, more economically, as a complete package.

Hydroxatone – The Conclusion
Hydroxatone appears as a solid line of products which address all the aspects of aging skin. However, the details concerning the free trial are contradictory; one section states that four of the products are included while another one lists just the AM/PM cream. Besides, the customer is sent; and later billed for, in case not returned promptly, a 2 month supply of the product but is only given 30 days in order to try it. This seems to be an area where Hydroxatone fails, judging by the amount of complaints which can be found on independent consumer websites.
