Hydroxatone review: company charges and claims to be free trial...cancel at any time ( 22 comments)

I ordered the product and it didn't work for me so I sent it back and canceled the order and they still keep billing me. It is not free and I'm having a hard time with them to the point where I have had to get a lawyer for help with this company.

I ordered this product and cancelled as well. The product is crap. I continued to be charged and will have to cancel my card to stop the charges as well. I called [protected] and continue to get an "all circuits are busy" message. If anyone is reading this before they order from this company, PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T ORDER FROM THEM. This is a total rip-off.

I should have checked this website out before I made the mistake of ordering Hydroxton on line! I only authorized for the "Free sample" that was to cost $6.95. I was billed $6.95 in January for shipping & handling shortly after I have placed the order. One month later, I was billed also for a cream @ 69.95 for something I didn’t even receive or authorized to order! I called to cancel -- but no one from customer service would call me back. In March, I was billed again for a cream @ 69.95. By the time you realized the scheme, the time limit has expired and you are stuck with it. I have cancelled my order but they still keep billing me. I have had to get a lawyer for help with this company. This product is a rip-off! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!

i cannot get a human to answer the phone.this is false advrt. i called for a free jar they sent 3 and chared it to my credit card s0 it went from 6.95 to 209.85

it doe not work when you have to ask some can you tell the difference!

I wasn’t told that the product would cost me over $200 after the initial "free" trial, nor was I told that I would be on an automatic shipping list. I tired several times to contact the company to no avail. My credit card company also tried contacting them. Once you get your “free” trial shipment, it is impossible to cancel because they don’t answer their phone. The catalog required customers to call their customer service number before cancelling, but I could never get a person on the phone. It would always direct me to a re-ordering number. I also intend to report this company. It shouldn’t be this hard to get your money re-funded for a runny, thin creme in a fancy jar that doesn’t do a thing for your wrinkles. Believe me, after dealing with this bunch, you’ll have more frown wrinkles than you ever dreamed of! PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR THIS RIP-OFF HYPE.

My son't girlfriend called Hydroxatone from his phone. He was at work. Gave them a CC number - which was not his. I don't know where she got the credit card. Now they are turning him over to Bad credit because it was his name on caller ID. I have called 2x and they still say he is responsible. They said the only way He can get out of this is to fax a police report. There is really no crime of using a person's house phone?
They will not listen and the balance is 181.85. It took a long time on hold [protected]. Who do I report them to? Dept. of Justice? Consumer reports co? How does a person take action against these companies that are scams?

I'm like some of the other's complaints here . I would like my money back f0r the $69.95 + $6.99 that you charged me for, I have sent it back . I did not like the product, to greasy for me. If you do not refund my money, I have a attorney friend whom I will have him get after you

keep charging my account

I am in the uk and trying to get an address to send the product too is crazy! wish I had read the messages before, totally annoyed with my self now.. Am I able to call my bank and get them to stop the process? I have had no response to all my emails send and I cannot connect with US number, any help would be great. Thanks

So, I ordered the "free trial" of two jars of hydrolyze and recieved THREE jars and a package of vitamin pills that lasts a month. I was NOT informed whatsoever that I would be recieving these itmes and I surely did not ask for them. So after using the product (one jar only), I saw no results and quickly sent everything back correctly: RMA, info., and all the company instructed me to do. And yes, it was before my 30 day trial was over so I would not be charged. So now, two months later I'm looking at my checking account online and see a withdrawal of $69.95. And from who? Hydroxatone Company. So here I am sitting here like wtf, and wondering is there ANY way that I can get my money back or at least the s&h fee. They charged me for items that I did not have or use, they charged me long after I had returned them correctly, and they charged me after directly telling me it was a free trial (with S&H fee). So my last words to those contemplating, PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY. IT IS A SCAM!

I had a similar experience with another company. Sent product back but they kept charging my credit card. I contacted credit card company and filed a complaint and they got my money back and cancelled my credit card and sent me a new one.
Job sorted! Now more careful and check companies out before ordering. Anon.

I have had the same problem with Hydroxatone in the UK as many of you people in USA. They do not answer emails nor telephone calls and bill you immediately while you are led to believe that you are in the 'Free Trail' period. This is an out and out scam and Hydroxatone should be brought to book and closed down. Are the authorities in US unable to do something about this company?

I cannot agree or disagree with all the adverse comments made, these comments must be true by the people that have had this experience. I can only comment on my experience with Hydroxatone. I ordered a free sample, paid the postage cost $1.99 the sample arrived a 1oz-30g pot no problem whatsoever. I then found out when a second pot arrived that I was now a member and they were going to take from my credit card two amounts of$69.95 one on the 17/11/2011 and one on 17/12/2011 then a similar amount each month until I informed them that I wished to cancel my membership !. I cantacted customer services and told them I did not know anything about being a member? and wished to return the second pot only keeping the free sample, by return I recieved e.mail saying they were very sorry for the misunderstanding and that I could keep both pots and no money would be taken from my card. Result-perfect - Thank you Hydroxatone.

I took a trial of this face cream and cancelled it and now they keep sending other creams

I bought many months ago a tub of this cream. First tub was free. The second is costing over 100 dollars. I do not feel as if I should pay for this item in the first place since I have cancelled my order. This company is calling me at work. Please get this company to stop. I have gotten better results from Avon Products.

I never accessed this companies web site and I don't know exactly how this is happening. I believe it is somehow associated with or in connection with Dash Cam Pro or they are hacking into Dash Cam Pro's web site and contacting customers that have ordered the Dash Cam Pro.

This appears to be some kind of a scam. I read other complaints about these companies. I don't know how it's happening, but it definitely is!

Big scam in Australia too. Aggressive sales. Pops up on facebook offering free samples. Invoices totaling $280. Also uses product names as Bellaplex and Collagenix. They used a woolworths logo to attract me. They recommend you use the products for 30 days prior to making a decision. They have the next payment by then. SCAM SCAM SCAM. Don't touch this!
