User Experience and Complaints
Hydroxatone's free trial created a lot of buzz and interest — but not without a lot of complaints to follow. Many users did not understand the terms of the free trial and were surprised when their credit card got billed 30 days later, or they expected quicker results. Most people will only notice better hydration and tone in the first 2 weeks, and the reduction in wrinkles and fine lines will take up to 2-3 months. Furthermore, Hydroxatone's automatic enrollment into their Preferred Customer Beauty Autoship Program caught many buyers by surprise.
It takes a little bit of work to try and find out how much it costs on their website, and the details of the autoship program.
There were a total of 637 BBB complaints filed against Hydroxatone in the last 36 months. The BBB indicates Hydroxatone properly handled most of them, and currently gives them an A- rating.
Guarantee
Hydroxatone has a 30 day risk-free trial (less S&H) where they send you 2 jars for a 60 day supply. In order to avoid getting charged after 30 days and again after 60 days, you will need to contact them and return the empty/unused jars.
Price
Initially they charge $1.99 for shipping and processing, and if you don't call for a refund and cancel, you will be charged for the product in 2 installments: $69.95 plus shipping and processing after 30 days, and $69.95 after 60 days. They will also continue to send you product and charge your credit card for $69.95 plus $6.95 S&H every 30 days if you do not call to cancel or change your autoship program.
Conclusion
Hydroxatone is a good product with scientifically-backed ingredients and proven results. However, the 30 day risk free guarantee is not long enough for most users to get maximum benefit and many feel forced to make a decision about the product within 30 days. Because there are other quality products with longer money back guarantees, we recommend trying Hydroxatone on if other top rated wrinkle creams don't work for you.

Skin hydration mechanism is complex. Hyaluronic acid is a widely distributed glycosaminoglycan and one of the chief component of the extracellular matrix. It has a high water retaining ability and has recently been shown to be present in the epidermis. HA plays a central role in hydration and elasticity of skin.
