Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device

What it is: Zeno(TM) is a hand-held, battery-powered medical device, cleared by the FDA, used to treat mild to moderate inflammatory acne pimples. Zeno works best when you first notice the signs of a new pimple. If used early, clinical trials have shown that pimples treated with Zeno can fade or disappear within just 24 hours. Just two to three treatment cycles of 2 1/2 minutes spread over 12 to 24 hours can help shorten a pimple's life cycle.What it does:Zeno applies a precisely controlled heat dose directly to the pimple through a metal pad. One treatment lasts 2 1/2 minutes. Two to three treatments spread over 24 hours clear up most pimples quickly. It's that simple.What else you need to know:The Zeno Pro has the highest usage capacity available without a prescription - double the number of uses of the original Zeno.*Due to the size of this product, we are unable to offer holiday packaging, however a gift message can be included with your delivery.

That happens often - 12.21.09

Quick Take: not a reliable product!

Received this to give as a gift - my husband said plug it in and make sure it works after the first gift incident. To my surprise it did NOT work and I took it back to the store and was told ' That happens often" then they offered a completely different product - I said "no thank you".

Awesome product - 12.11.09

Quick Take: easy to use and effective

This is the best thing I've found to treat my pimples. When I feel a small, red tender bump under the skin, I use ZENO and within two treatments, the pimple has gotten so small it is barely noticeable or it goes away altogether. The pimple doesn't get larger and doesn't erupt. This means I don't get scars. I've used this thing dozens of times now, and I am amazed at how my pimples disappear. This is an incredible invention.

i like this product - 12.07.09

Quick Take: exciting, fun, effective, cool

i recently heard about zeno thru a friend that bought one many moons ago in her dermatologist's office. i've found the zeno works for me exactly as it says. if you have good luck with hot compresses, the zeno works much much better and more efficiently with no mess. i'm guessing if you don't get results, you used it wrong. it is really easy to use, but if you don't catch the pimple right away, you don't get as good of results. for me, right away is the first couple hours the pimple emerges. treat the pimple several times a couple hours apart, and that normally does the trick. my husband tried it once for ingrown hairs, but it does not work for that. not every spot on your face is a pimple, so don't be naive and think it will work on everything. works on pimples effectively, but is not meant for other skin issues, bug bites, ingrown hairs, etc. but...it is a fun product to use and nevertheless it does work well on pimples, which is what it is designed to do.

Zeno Customer Service Unresponsive - 11.29.09

I just purchased my THIRD Zeno recently, and returned it due to failure out of the box. The two Zeno's I own, at one time, worked well, but then, they wouldn't charge anymore. I wrote to Zeno and got no satisfaction. I paid $200 apiece for them! I have switched Thermaclear but have $$ worth of unused Zeno cartridges. VERY disappointed.

I've have used my Zeno for three years now. It's definitely no miracle worker, but it does help your acne not get out of control.

You have to use it for awhile to really understand how to use it properly. It only works on certain types of pimples. And if you use it on a wrong type of pimple it will make it way worse.

I recently started using a Clarisonic + Zeno. And my skin has never looked better. I would buy a Clarisonic if your looking for extreme results.

too hot - 11.13.09

I tried this product after reading great reviews but I am not impressed at all. I used it twice and both times I felt it was too hot to be putting on a pimple that is already inflammed. By the time I waited for the device to cool down a bit, it was practically useless. Even when I tried using it as directed, I did not see any difference in the pimple if anything, it left a mark on my skin. Not too sure what this device is claiming to do for acne.

This is a joke. - 11.03.09

Just keep in mind that you will be needing to buy refillable cartridges for this device ALL THE TIME! Make sure you use this ONLY before bed. If you have sensitive skin (like me) it will leave you with a pea sized red mark that takes about 3 hours to go away. I don't think it worked that well, anyway.

Best Invention - 10.07.08

Had my doubts about this device, but is now a staple in my skincare regimen. I use it as soon as a pimple develops and it doesn't go away completely, but never gets out of control and usually subsides to an unoticeable speck within 2 days or so. LOVE it!

Like
1. Effective control when you use this for right type of acne pimples

Dislike
1. Hard to know which one as right type: I had hard time to figure out what is right one. Hoped the insert paper described more detail with pictures, etc,.
2. Expensive : 90 shots are pretty gone away fast if you have mutiple pimples.

Mild to moderate star - 09.12.08

Quick Take: helpful

The Zeno is not a miracle worker. It will help prevent the breakout of some pimples, but not others. If they're deep, forget it, you're out of luck. But it can help lessen the blow when they do show up and it does help keep smaller breakouts from blossoming. Not cheap but if you can afford it, it helps.

not great - 09.11.08

I had high hopes for zeno, but I was really disappointed! It didn't get rid of any pimples in just one or two treatments! It took more like 10 and it still didn't get rid of them completely! It's just not worth the $$$!

Not Bad - 09.11.08

After using it for 3 months I noticed that when you have pimple forming it will burn when you put the device on. It does not make the pimple disappear right away but it does speed up the process by killing the bacteria underneath.

Totally Works!! - 09.11.08

Quick Take: amazing

My husband and I are both in our late 20's and still occasionally break out. We have had the Zeno for months now and fight over it! It totally works. As soon as you start to feel a zit comming in use this product and it dries it out before it even forms!!!

Okay - 09.03.08

I really did not enjoy this product. No matter how early I caught the pimple it would still form. It also took 5 or more treatments. I wouldn't recommend it for 160 bucks! I spot treat with a sulfur mask and it works way better!
