I bought the original Zeno in 2006 and basically stashed it away in my junk pile after the first few uses. It did absolutely nothing for me. Yesterday, while shopping in Target I saw this and thought I'd give it a shot...I figured it's been four years since the original came out and they must have made improvements since! I cleaned my face before bed and tested it on 2 stubborn pimples. This AM one is completely gone and the other is visibly smaller. I'm completely satisfied and I will most likely buy it again when it runs out. I'm so happy that I am now looking into buying the Zeno Heat Treat..

Pros:
  • helps get rid of inflamed red pimples
Cons:
  • does not get rid of any kind of pimple with pus (i.e. whitehead, blackhead, pustule).
  • leaves red circle after use so can not use in the AM if in a rush to get to work (or during the day if you work and are concerned about walking around with red marks)

For a couple of days I've had a gigantic pimple on the tip of my nose. After purchasing this product, i used the zeno once or twice every three hours and the bump went down a little but not alot. The next morning I iced the pimple and used the zeno twice and the bump was noticably fltter. Usually it takes 2-3 weeks for these kiinds of piimples to heal for me, but with the zeno, the pimple should be gone in a day or two.

Pros

  • batteries included
  • easy to use
  • actually works
  • can flatten a big pimple by alot

Cons

  • only 80 uses
  • not practical for severe acne
  • pricey
  • moderate
  • for a day or two
  • $ 46
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I've been breaking out for about four months straight and have tried every kind of OTC treatment and nothing worked.

I bought the Zeno Hot Spot on Tuesday and by Friday, I was totally clear. I was really skeptical when I bought it, but am thrilled that it actually worked for me.

I used it on about 8 pimples two to three times per day and on day two, they were all noticeably smaller.

This product definitely works.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Actually works

Cons

  • Pricey
  • Limited number of uses
  • light
  • for about a week
  • $ 37
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

Works really well on dermatitis, reducing length of break-out by 75%, with results visible within 24 hours. After first use "growth" (for lack of a better word) is arrested; reduction apparent the next day. When used soon enough spots are gone the next day.

Does leave a mild red area where used, but this fades quickly. As with anything, use in moderation.

Pros

  • Easy
  • Painless
  • Effective

Cons

  • Disposable
  • light
  • for a few months
  • $ 34.99
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

This product is junk! I bought it for my daughter and it turned on and worked once. It is crazy priced for something you just throw away after a supposed 80 uses. What a big RIP OFF!!!!

Pros

  • NOTHING

Cons

  • JUNK!!!!
  • moderate
  • for a day or two
  • $ 40
  • I do not recommend using this product/treatment.

Effects aren't 'instant', but it dramatically shortens the life span of my pimples.

Including the hormonal acne I get on my jawline. Pimples that I know would otherwise hang around for 6 months to a year are gone or reduced within a few days.

I've even used it on ones that would turn into cystic acne (against the instructions - only supposed to be used on *pimples*, nothing else). With reasonable success.

Have also used it on whiteheads - manufacturer advises NOT doing this. In my experience it's drawn out the stuff and made it easier to pop. ***People who scar should NOT try this.

Have repurchased. Next time will try to get a plug-in version.

Pros

  • Estimate that 75% of the pimples I've treated have gone down significantly or been eliminated within 1-3 treatments.
  • It's cheaper and more convenient than getting a cortisone shot. Not as perfectly effective, but pretty darn good.

Cons

  • Can't be sure, but I think the temperature of the tip isn't consistent.
  • Sometimes I have to press hard on the activating button to get it to work.
  • Not environmentally friendly (uses batteries, is disposable).
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 45
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

It's a product worth buying. It gives me peace of mind that I am treating a blemish as soon as i feel it coming on my skin. A lot of other creams dry out the blemish and the entire area around it.

Pros

  • Does reduce stubborn deep, painful pimples that have no pus inside. The heat actually feels really soothing on the sore pimples. Its portable, and its nice to have a solution for acne BEFORE it becomes a bigger problem.

Cons

  • Only 80 uses, leaves a large redspot on area where you hold it...I only think this should be a product used before bed...or in the AM if you can wear makeup to conceal the red circles.
  • Doesn't work on all blemishes (whiteheads)
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 40
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I only recommend this item to people with light acne because of how quickly you use one up. It will be very expensive for someone with moderate to severe acne trying to continually use this. Also, Zeno has another acne device out that does not have to be replaced. It is a thermal therapy device that delivers the same amount of heat to the skin and comes with an acne treatment lotion you apply before using the device. I do recommend this to all acne sufferers and to use it two to three times a day after cleansing. I started using this instead and my skin is doing fine!

Pros

  • Works on pimples that are JUST forming. Usually takes two to three treatments before pimple is gone. Helps quicken the life cycle of a cyst pimple so it subsides faster.

Cons

  • Expensive. I have purchased five of these in a year and three of them have been difficult to turn on after half their use. Make sure to have back up batteries as the ones provided sometimes die fast. Does not work on pimples that have already come to a head.
  • light
  • for about a year
  • $ 39.95
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.
