The 'beauty water' that claims to clear acne: is it for real?


I've always been wary of gimmicky bottled water - remember that ridiculous slimming water that Nestle launched a few years ago? They said it contained natural sources of calcium and magnesium to expel toxins and help you stay in shape. Er yeah, like this was the first mineral water to ever contain calcium and magnesium?! And then there was Blue Water, which cost a ludicrous £11 per litre and promised to improve wellbeing. It was invented by an Austrian naturalist who claimed he had "removed the negative memories from the water and transferred beneficial energy patterns to it." Hmmm...

... Today I heard about this new bottled 'beauty' water which has just come out in the UK. It's called Beauty Water and its manafacturers say it can clear acne and make your complexion smoother and more radiant.

The magic ingredient they say, is Praventin, 'a bioactive protein which is rich in Lactoferrin, a substance which supports the complexion by reducing the inflammation associated with acne blemishes and the bacteria that cause them.'

Apparently in two separate studies, Praventin was clinically proven to reduce blemishes by 95% within two months when testers took 200mg of Praventin per day. Each bottle contains 100mg of Praventin. You are allowed to drink up to two bottles per day so you could get the RDA as well as hydrating at the same time!

I have to admit I'm kinda tempted to try it - a) because I suffer from breakouts, and b) because the bottle is really pretty.

What do you guys think? Beauty Water or 'BS' Water?!

Ps. It costs £1.29 a bottle - for more info go to www.workswithwater.co.uk

I would give it a shot, but honestly sounds like a gimmick. Love the bottle design.

I'd like to know if you decide to try it, and get good results... but as you mentioned water is good for the complexion. I would also just start making sure you're getting your vitamins in general first. Vitamin C and B-complex :)

i would try it! it's like the same price as a regular bottle of water so why not? just look into it, and make sure it won't hurt you. i wonder if i could have it shipped to CA. i'm interested.

Don't waste your money on that. If it worked everybody would already know about it.

sounds like a miracle... like the "eat whatever you want and take this pill and you will be slim forever" thing... but if someone give it a try, please let us know how it went

Sounds a bit fishy to me. Drinking lots of water would help with the skin thing anyway, right? I'm not really a bottled water fan, but it IS a lovely package, so perhaps it's justifiable if you already drink bottled water. If you do try it, let us know how it goes!

It's hard to believe that it might really work. On the other hand, it's not that pricey for water, and the bottle is really pretty, LOL!

I think it's most likely BS. But you could give it a try for a couple of months and let us know what you think.

Hmmm. Interesting. Well, they also say that regular water is good for your skin. So perhaps this is extra good? :p I'd be tempted to try it, too.
