Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

The title on Seller's ad on e-Bay listing says: “Lose 50 pounds in 2 weeks with Leptovox!" The ad claims: “10 Superfoods to clear your acne and eliminate wrinkles while all the weight rolls off of you 2 weeks or Your Money Back-GUARANTEED!" “Everyone is talking about Leptovox and I mean everyone who tried it LOVED it! EVERYONE could feel it working in seconds. Permanent weight loss too. “…You Get All Your Money Back NO QUESTIONS ASKED If you are not completely satisfied!" Highlighted in yellow: “Zero Risk, Lifetime Money Back Guarantee on the Miracle Diet Product". Highlighted in blue: “Place Your 100% Risk Free Order or you can Bid NOW". “Buy it NOW… Risk FREE".

I bought 4 bottles after being lured by the ad. The product has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but make me sick to my stomach and made my skin feels like I have been scrubbed with sand from beach.

After 2 weeks of no promised positive results I asked for a full refund. I emailed them and the response I got back was that "I should stop eating hamburgers and stay out of the sun.." An absolutely disgraceful response. Like it's my fault! When I mentioned the guarantee I was told that because I wasn't set up on the autoship program I didn't qualify. They refused to give me back my money and stand by the guarantee on the product.

The Leptovox company engages in deceptive, dishonest and misleading advertising on their eBay auction site. The product DOESN'T work and I will never use it again. I wish I had stuck with Proactol because I had much better success with it. The Proactol product was 100% better than the Leptovox and they stand by their 100% Unconditional Lifetime Money Back Guarantee. I'm surprised e-Bay would allow these practices.

this is fake. no established company would say "stop eating hamburgers and stay out of the sun" thats funny. but the thing that blows is that leptovox says satisfaction guarantee but thay only accept unopened bottle. what if you only got one bottle and you were unsatisfied with it?

Leptovox is a scam product just like the other 20 products they make with different names.

All of the products have the same story about how it was "discovered"... but really, all they discovered was how to use Oprah's name and rip people off

Stay away from Leptovox, Lipovox, Orovo, Fenphedra, Nuphedragen, and whatever names they come up with next.

-----------

From the LEPTOVOX website:

While watching the OPRAH show on "How to Look 10 Year's Younger in 10 Days!" Oprah Winfrey's skin care guru Dr. Perricone revealed 10 "Super Foods" that if eaten will take 10 years off the appearance of your skin in only 10 Days.

Intrigued by the promise, the Leptovox inventor took the challenge and ate the 10 Super Foods daily for 10 consecutive days.

--------------

From the LIPOVOX website:

Two years ago I was a college student living in Oahu, Hawaii. I'd go to school in the mornings and head off to the beach and surf all day. It was a blast! The best time of my life. But it was wreaking havoc on my skin! I was only in my early twenties and had the skin of someone double my age.

One day while watching TV, I came across "Oprah" and the title of the show was on how to look "10 Years Younger in 10 Days". I watched. Oprach interviewed a world-reknown skin care doctor and he revealed his "Secret" to looking 10 years younger in 10 days. It wasn't a magical lotion or cream, but rather 10 SUPER FOODS that fight wrinkles internally

--------------

From the OROVO website:

OROVO was created accidentally. While watching the “OPRAH” show on how to look “10 Years Younger in 10 Days” a world renowned Dermatologist recommended 10 “SuperFoods” that if eaten every day will help you look 10 Years younger in Only 10 Days. The wife of Orovo's CEO took the 10 Day challenge and had mixed results. She did not look 10 years younger as had been promised BUT she Lost 10 pounds of body fat and had completely gotten rid of her Adult Acne without even Trying!

It made me sick to my stomach and feel like I was going to jump through my skin. I tried to write the feedback on the products home page but it does not exist.It felt like I took 20 nodoz. I would like to know how to contact the parent company if anyone knows?

I just started the pill today and while I do feel the caffine it doesnt seem any worse than any other diet pill. I dont know if I believe any of these reviews because some of them seem to be copied and pasted from other sites. I wish that only Real People would give their testimonies but everyone is out to make a buck for their own crappy products so I guess I will live and learn. I Will be back in 2 weeks to share my opinion. For anyone else who is taking them personally please gimme some real reviews! Thanks.

I don't even know how this charge was taken from my account. I didn't order it and I have never heard of it. I'll call Monday and try to find out what's going on. I know it's easy to get hooked into making purchases while on the web, but I don't do surveys etc. etc. any more. This is fraudulant billing.

The product did good for me. I didn't get that incredible results but I see progress on my body. in the past 2 weeks, I've lost a good 5 pounds. Though I didn't completely used it everyday, I still got a good burn off of it, I only missed 2 per week.

I tried using 2 at a time before I exercised, it wasn't a good idea. It made me shakey. I thought it was like Lipo 6x. Cause when I used that, it gave me a bit more energy to burn playing tennis. As for Leptovox, its good on a daily basis of work or atleast move around. I suggest using lipo 6x if you want extra energy to burn while at the gym or watever.

... so none of you we're a little worried about the similarity of the "story" on how the product was "invented"

Orovo = CEO's wife
Leptovox = College student
Lipovox = Non-specific

Each one of those product's "creators" had the idea for the product while watching Oprah.

If that isn't the biggest coiincidence (and lie) then I don't know what is.

What you should ask yourself is - what else about the product is a lie?

Do you think taking a pill of the superfoods is at all equivalent to eating the REAL superfoods?

These products will not do anything for you, and any story on here from people that have tried it and it has worked for them are just employees from the company posting it because this website is on the first page of the search results on Google.

You should read the original posting - that person is an (... & probably the only) actual customer.

Good luck.

I recieved the Leptovox product yesterday in the mail. Last night i couldnt sleep at all. I was extreemly jittery and my heart seemed to be racing a million miles an hour. Although my eyes are baggy this morning i suprisingly feel very energetic and motivated. I have no comment on the product at the moment and will continue to take the pills untill finish. Will report more when have further feedback.

I am supposed to be in a wedding in a month and a half and have been looking for a products that will help me look my best. I was sick for the past couple of months and ended up gaining weight and my skin broke out considerably from the stress. I did some obviously mild research and found two products that would help, Lipovox for both the weight loss and Acnexus for extra help with the acne and scarring. I have also begun eating healthier and will begin working out soon when I feel completely better.

Just to be safe, I wanted to know what real people thought of these products since I have only six weeks to get into shape. I was first baffled that my research on Lipovox also led to research on Acnexus until I noticed that Lipovox is also linked to a product called Orovo. Orovo, which is the exact same thing as Lipovox also has an acne product which is the same exact thing as Acnexus. I can't believe that I was that close to getting duped by the same company TWICE!

I read some review sites and have noticed they they are also very unreliable. It seems as though each site endorsed products from one affiliated company and bashed all other products. Even this site seems to be packed with people who are tied to these so-called diet companies.

After my countless days of diet and acne products research I feel completely hopeless in finding something that may actually work, and have concluded that I will maintain my health the old-fashioned way... a healthy diet, exercise at least four days a week, and supplement my diet with trusted vitamins that does not make any far-fetched promises.

I don't care if this crap works or not- reading the multitude of idiocy laden postings by the same 5 angry meat heads listing different women's names and different e-mail addresses (while still logged in under their own "profile") has caused rapid weight loss due to regurgitation of my food from the last week.

Seriously? You guys are so unhappy and know SO much about personal health- stop focusing on this ### and go be a personal trainer.

Miracle pills aren't reality... And that woman was right- if you've been eating hamburgers while taking the pill- of COURSE it's not going to work.

Go eat right, go for a walk in the morning, and quit looking for the silver bullet-quick fix (ps, that silver bullet is call lipo, and the fat comes back).

I was curious about using this supplement to aid in helping me lose weight and saw this site. I looked here only after ordering the 2 bottles of leptovox. I couldn't wait to come on and be one of the people that totally believed in the product and could silence all the negative comments with my tremendous results! ...but the product hasn't come yet. It is almost a month now and I don't even know how to get my money back yet, but will have to start to seriously look into it soon if I don't receive it. It's too bad. I never have ordered anything like this and am not a big on-line shopper. This is discouraging, but if I do get it someday I will post my true experience with it. I tried to contact the website and have been continually ignored. So, this may very well be a scam.

I repeat that this whole message board is just Fraudulent effort being carried out by jealous competitors who make Miracleburn, Orexis, Bellaplex and a bunch of other second rate crap products. The are just pissed because Orovo, Lipovox, and Leptovox control the marketplace with consumer sales. These wannabe Soprano NY/NJ gangters are a bunch of clowns who couldn't find their way out of a paper bag. They just show their desperation that they would spend their day on this message board trying to sway the universal branding effort that has laid the foundation for one of the premier nutrition companies around. It feels good to be KING! Lick my nuggets slowly you bufoons...LOL

i have been taking leptovox for 2weeks.(and im a REAL consumer) i was on a 5month weight loss plateau. in the two weeks ive been taking it (and only once in the morning i might add) i have lost 7lbs. and im impressed...esp after a 5mo plateau!
i eat right, i drink lots of water, i walk on my treadmill from 30min to 1hr depending on what day of the week it is...i dont sit on my rear and wait for something to happen "miracle" you cant do that...i have no intentions on taking the product long term b/c i just dont think taking anything long term is really that good for you regardless of claims & research bla bla bla...its about how YOU apply yourself to your weight loss goals. i will admit i was a little shaky the first couple of days----then i cut out my morning tea & coffee and i was fine...there is obviously caffine & a lot of it. i just drink water or a little skim milk while im getting dressed for work instead. for the most part i think this whole posting is huge scam. there are obviously some real consumers on here but you just have to do it (esp if you already have it) and see how it works for you...i took hydroxycut (which did wonders for my husband) however it did not a thing for me...i was seriously losing hope thinking i was going to be stuck at my weight i was plateaud at...everyone is different. and my body happens to like leptovox...its working for me---so far no complaints.
and i may also add i can think of several products that i have tried in my 5mos at plateau that did make me nervous sick and gave me dragon breath and made me run to the toilet. so far my only complaint was a few days of the jitters & i solved that problem ...

I ordered 2 bottles of levtovox to the sum of $83.58 I returned the box right away. I have sent numerous e-mails since there is no way to reach them by phone. I have had no response. I ordered on December 5, 07 my order # bston-[protected]-033036. I did not know about this complaint board until today. I sure hope you can do something sites like this ruin it for customers that love to order over the net. Thank you so much. Deborah york

Orovo product is a health hazzard, plain and simple.

I had to go to the emergency room 2 hours after taking this stuff. Intestinal blockage created a bleeding colon and I needed a transfusion. I nearly died that night and this product was the cause. Test proved it. Stay clear of it or risk the same problems I encountered.

I have 2 un-opened bottles of Leptovox, which I wish to return. I'va only had the product for approx. 14 days, well within the 90 day money back promise. But there is no way to contact them to request money back. Their ad says to return the product to the address on the shipping label. Well, like most people, after I opened the package, I threw it away. I'm furious that they will not provide their return.

Hi, the shipping was fast for me on this product and today is my first day taking Leptovox. I really hope this product works like it says it will. I am even taking the 7-DD with it as is recommended. I wonder if there are ACTUAL users of this product commenting on this product because I would really like to know what my chances are for losing weight.
I mean I am not expecting to lose tons of weight, but at least 10-15lbs. I eat healthy and exercise, so I am hoping this supplement helps in the fight against the bulge. I will post again after I am finished the first bottle!
Goodluck for those who are like me...

Not only does this product not work, but if you read the stories behind the creator of this product, one says the inventor was just trying to improve "his" health and another said the inventor was trying to improve "her" health. It also said that the inventor was a college student from Hawaii who was trying to eat these super-foods to help diminish wrinkles from surfing in the sun. And then another story about the creator of the supplement says that it was a stay-at-home mom who saw Dr. Perricone on Oprah and decided to make a supplement out of the extracts from the super-food because it was too costly and inconveinent to eat them everyday and buy them each week. If we can't trust the story behind the creation of the product, how do we even know the testimonials of it working are true? BIG SCAM - DON'T BOTHER!

Ive literally tried almost everything... homeopathic supplements, detox packages, fatburners (with ephedra and without) and NOW Leptovox.

I have to say that ALL of them sucked but LEPTOVOX EXTREMELY SUCKED! they say its "superfoods" PSHHH...
"superfoods DONT make you feel like ###- nausea- dizzyness- or heart/chest pain discomfort and stomach pain.

I copared it to my superfood smoothie in the morning (which contains organic yogurt, my choice of fruit, spirulina, wheatgrass and chlorella) and i definately feel the difference. When i take my smoothie I feel great...- energized, healthy- full and NOTHING hurts. When i take leptovox I wanna throw up over everything and just wanna lay. as for the skin thing PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

just buy Lavoclen -4 creamy face wash, proactives refining mask, and take zinc with primrose oil 3 times a day. (IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE!)

As for losing weight its super easy - we are just all americans that like "the magic pill (me included) and dont want to bother with hard work"----
Just eat right, small portions 5 to 6 times a day, no big meals after 6, lots of greens, ALKALIZE!, and excercise.

THE END
Hope it helps.

Perhaps the difference between the people who benefit and the people who suffer is whether they buy from the website or buy from eBay? I have been thinking about buying this, and if I did no doubt would it be from their website. What do you guys think?

The other day my fiancé bought some: "diet pills” claiming that they boosted his energy levels and that he feels much better since he got them. So I asked him if he could buy me a box of the same thing. (Pills helped me a bit, even though poor reviews. They helped me to go to the bathroom more regularly – since I have problems with digestion.) Females in my family have tried everything what promised weight loss; special teas, aloes solutions, pills, syrups, weird vibrating belts – everything. Even though I am not hugely overweight I wish I could go back to my perfect weight 160 lbs, now I am about 185 (being 5’8). So once my fiancé got me these pills I’ve decided to do a small research. I knew that I will find plenty angry female responds claiming that the pills didn’t work and stuff. And I found that Leptovox was no 1 rated diet pills on several websites. Ok fine, the pills I got lost my interest and so I have started looking into the Leptovox, I spend several hours and basically I did not go anywhere with my research. Mixed reviews by the same people with different names?. At the beginning I couldn’t believe everything I read sounded too good to be true, and I’m sure everybody have heard the saying: “If it sounds too good, it probably is too good to be true”.
So I came to my own conclusion, I believe that weight loss, and feeling good lays in your head. Because if you take the miracle pills and believe that they will help you I am sure they will motivate you towards small unnoticeable changes in your behavior that will later lead to feeling better and maybe even small weight loss. If you will negatively look at diet pills, not having much hope in them, the opposite effect will happen. It is a common knowledge that the best way to lose weight and have a healthier life is by exercising and eating better ?
And for people that get sick of these pills; I am allergic to penicillin, even after the smallest amounts make me swell so that I can’t breathe, but does that mean that they are bad for everybody? No. Different things work differently for different people.
So anyway, I have e-mailed the company asking them if they could send me a free trial, almost every good company has free samples of their products we’ll see if I’ll get a respond if not then too bad – I’ll stick my diet which is “eat everything what you want to eat reasonably as long as you feel good”. I might not have the supermodel body but I feel good about myself, and if I find a pill that would help me to lose a few pounds I will try it. No woman is entirely happy about their body, but at the same time... We’re all perfect in our own way!

despite my better judgement, i decided to buy this product anyways. BAD MISTAKE! They did not respond to any of my e-mails and didn't give me an address to send the product back to. I waste of money and time. Did nothing for me but gave me bad breath.
