Customer Reviews of Zeno Hot Spot Blemish Clearing Device, BlueCustomer Review: Oh My - it really DOES work! Summary: 5 Stars
I am absolutely a skeptic, and the only reason I even considered this was I came into work today with a small mountain of a zit on my chin (okay, it wasn't a mountain but it felt/looked like one) and was desperate. I knew from experience that popping zits like that don't work, and though I faithfully applied a salycilic acid solution all weekend that usually DOES take care of these occasional bothers, the thing just got bigger, not smaller. So I hopped online and looked at options. I literally ran out at lunch to buy one of these and brought it back to my office to try, but not before checking LOTS and LOTS of websites to see what people's experiences were with these. Overall reviews seemed to be that the vast majority of people saw some benefit, and since the unit carries a 30-day return policy, what did I have to lose.
Got back from lunch and powered the thing up and, following directions, applied it both to the mountainous Zit and to a smaller one that was making a go for it on my cheek. The result one hour later? The little one on my cheek is just plain GONE... don't ask me how, I can't explain it except to read what the directions/product info says about how it works, but it's gone. The mountainous one? Down to a molehill after one hour - noticeably smaller nearly immediately and I'm confident already that after I treat this again in a few hours (you can do up to 4 treatments in a day) it will be gone completely.
NO ONE is more shocked by this than me. Like anyone afflicted with occasional acne I've tried just about everything. I'm nearly 50 and my face still breaks out about once a month, hormonal no doubt. But it was crisis mode today because I had an important appointment and meeting tomorrow and didn't want my chin to be the center of attention. It won't be. Looking in the mirror right now the difference between this morning when I left the house and now is night and day - the lump on my chin isn't the first thing you see/notice.
The design of the on/off button takes some getting used to- it is very sensitive to the touch and I found myself inadvertently turning it on all the time, which requires quick action to stop it in cycle - otherwise it tallies against the 80 uses the unit provides. Also the display lights (power on and the meter showing how many uses you have left) are a little hard to see in bright light- I had to keep holding the thing under my desk or shading it some other way to see the lights, though I found this less of a problem in "normal" lighting than in my office lighting, which is quite bright. I DO really like the audible signals built into this.
UPDATE: The next morning the mountain was noticeably lessened, enough so that it could be covered with makeup and was still there but down to about 1/4 the size of the previous day. I figure another day's treatments of it and it'll be gone. The small one I treated yesterday that disappeared within the hour did not return - still totally gone. This unit is a keeper - it'll stay on my makeup table FOREVER.
FURTHER UPDATE: The day I got this and had some trouble figuring out the on/off button, I contacted ZENO by email and was pleasantly surprised with a quick reply offering to replace the unit immediately. Now that I understood how well the thing works I was NOT ready to give it up (!), but they sent me a new one anyway and I returned the one I purchased, which also took care of the "uses" I had accidentally tripped on the way to figuring out the on / off thing.
On that issue - here's what I've finally figured out: The unit has a thumb-sized indentation on the side that, when you go to pick it up, your thumb just naturally slides into. For ergonomic purposes, that's just GREAT - but know that when your thumb goes in there it turns the unit ON and starts a cycle. Once you figure that out, you get used to picking it up from the sides, no big deal. I checked the directions for the unit and they're very simple/easy to understand, but while they tell you how to turn the unit ON... they do not tell you that you do NOT have to turn it off (thus my earlier searching for how to turn it off!) You kind of assume that if you turn something on you must later turn it off, but in fact after the 2 1/2 minute cycle, the unit turns itself off (which is actually very handy!). So what I thought was a bit of a flaw is actually a strength, once you understand that the thing takes care of itself once you turn it on - it counts away the 2 1/2 minute cycle, alerting you every 30 seconds as it proceeds, alerting you audibly when it is done, and then just turns itself off. Geeze, I wish everything in my life was that self-contained!
I continue to be VERY pleased with this item. I have used it several times on "emerging" zits - the kind you can feel but not really see yet - and they simply never emerge. I've used it on an occasional small blemish that did emerge, but one treatment before bed or before I put on makeup, and it's taken care of. NICE. I remember when Zeno first came out with the "professional" version of this several years ago, and I was interested then but the cost was too high (north of $100). So very pleased that they decided on a consumer version. This is a definite keeper, and I will own one ALWAYS.
