Customer Reviews of Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device with 90 Count Cartridge, Teal
Customer Review: Great Concept, Great Design, but...it simply did not work for me...
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all, let me start by saying that the design and concept behind this product is amazing and should be applauded. Conceptually it makes sense, it is very easy to use, and its presentation is super. It comes with a charger with a large cord, an instruction booklet, a quick start instruction card (for people who do not like to read directions), and the Zeno itself.
The Zeno is very easy to use. Charge it for at least 8 hours before first use and put the application tip in place and it is ready to use. The instructions are easy to follow and you can use it 2-3 times a day on the same area. It has both an audible beep as well as change in light colors that guide you when it is ready to begin and when it should be removed from your skin. When I used it, it did create a noticeable red dot area that remained probably for a half and hour after the treatment before fading. This red dot was the exact location of where the Zeno was placed against my skin. So, because of the visible red dot, I would not recommend using this device if you are going to be out in the public eye within the half hour, or people will notice where you used the Zeno. I want to stress, that I did not have any painful reaction to it or tingling. Literally within 30 mins or less you could not tell that I used to Zeno. For those of you concerned about being burnt, it is warm not hot for the entire 2.5 minute cycle. It never becomes painful during the treatment.
I followed the directions verbatim from the instruction manual, and I used this product for approximately 2 weeks before concluding that it did nothing to diminish my occasional skin outbreak. I did not notice any shortening between irritation to fully healed as the product promised. I realize that this product is designed to only work on pimples as they come to fruition, not once they are already in existence. I did not see any shortening of life span of my pimples that I could not get from using Clean & Clear, Clinique or my prescription topical.
Like other reviewers, I have sensitive skin, and occasional adult pimples. I would be considered to have occasional mild outbreaks. I have consulted with a dermatologist so I have prescription topicals. It is important to note that in the instruction manual, Zeno stresses that this device is supposed to be used in conjunction with your existing face treatment, and should not be a substitute for prescriptions or your established face cleaning regimen. For that reason, I guess I had high expectations of this device. I continued my face cleaning regimen and did not notice any change when using the Zeno. Which for a device that costs more than $100 dollars, and requires fairly pricey refills, if it is not working then that is money out of your pocket that you could be spending on other things. Thus, I opted to return it, exercising the 30 day money back guarantee that was advertised on the Amazon.com website and in the instruction manual. Note that Amazon.com had by far the lowest price I could find on this item, especially because it was one of my deals of the day. Although I got it for a great deal, I came to a fairly quick conclusion that it did not work for me as Zeno promised it would. I guess I am part of the 10% of people who do not show progress from using this device. Perhaps it helps people with greater skin problems than I have, but for me it did not help. I will continue using Clinique daily and my prescription topical for my occasional outbreaks.
Description of Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device with 90 Count Cartridge, Teal
Zeno Pro is an acne clearing device. It is a hand-held, portable electronic medical device that is clinically proven to make pimples disappear fast. In fact, for treating acne pimples, it's the most scientifically advanced and effective device available without a prescription. Zeno is for people with mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Zeno Pro includes a custom leather carry case with mirror.Zeno is a hand-held battery-operated device designed with a tip that heats to a pre-set temperature. The biocompatible tip is designed for direct contact with a blemish on the skin. Once in contact with a blemish, the tip will transfer heat into the follicle. An internal PID controller chip continually modulates the temperature to a fixed range even under different skin and circulation conditions by adjusting the flow of energy to match precisely the heat absorption of the individual user. Zeno?s microprocessor adapts not only to your individual skin type but also to the heat absorption characteristics of the location of the pimple. Your Zeno adapts to you! An integral digital timer controls the treatment time. The level of heat does not cause skin damage.

Specifically, Zeno stimulates a heat-shock response in p. acnes, the bacteria causing at least 90% of all acne blemishes. Heat shock proteins, activated by bacterial cells under heat stress, cause the self-destruction of p. acnes within the lesion, reducing inflammation and allowing the skin to return to a healthy state.
What is Zeno?
Zeno is a handheld, portable electronic medical device that is clinically proven to make pimples disappear fast. In fact, for treating acne pimples, it's the most scientifically advanced and effective device available without a prescription.
What does it do?
Zeno applies a precisely controlled heat dose directly to the pimple through a metal pad. One treatment lasts 2½ minutes. Two to three treatments spread over 24 hours clear up most pimples quickly. It's that simple.
How does it work?
Pimples occur when excess skin oil and flaking skin plug the opening of a hair follicle and create the ideal environment for acne bacteria to grow. Precisely controlled heat applied for a specific period of time causes the bacteria to self-destruct. When the bacteria die, the pimple goes away.
How many treatments does it take?
Two to three 2½-minute treatments spread over 24 hours are sufficient for most pimples. Often, only one treatment is needed.
Who should use Zeno?
Zeno is for people with mild to moderate inflammatory acne. If in doubt, ask your doctor.
When should Zeno be used?
Use Zeno at the first sign of a pimple. It works best when used on a pimple in the early stages of development. Also, the sooner pimples are cleared up, the less chance they have to leave scars.
How does Zeno compare with topical or oral treatments?
Zeno can clear up a pimple in just hours. Most other medications can take days or even weeks to work. What's more, other than slight, temporary skin redness, Zeno has none of the side effects described by most topical or oral medications.
Is Zeno safe and painless?
Patients included in our clinical trials experienced little reaction to the low-level heat. Other than some temporary skin redness following a treatment cycle, no other adverse side effects were reported. But should you experience any discomfort when using Zeno, discontinue use and consult your skin care professional.
Is Zeno all I need for acne?
Zeno does not replace good skin hygiene or a doctor's care. It is designed to treat mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Your doctor may recommend other therapies, depending on the severity of your acne. Follow your doctor's advice and use Zeno for the occasional pimple.
