Cons:
Button isn't working very well after about 15 uses.
Small pimples become cystic acne after zeno use. It decreases the size of pimple temporarily; however after a few hours the pimples become more difficult cystic acne
Zeno hot spot is a waste of money since it doesn't work on my pimples. It may be due to the cheap plastic and design of the zeno hot spot, which differs from the regular zeno. My sister and friend also bought the zeno hot spots along with me and they had the same issue with the small pimples evolving into cystic acne after use with the zeno. It may be due to the cheap plastic tip placed on the pimple that probably aggravates the site rather than kill the bacteria. The zeno hot spot is cheaper than the regular zeno due to its smaller design that is made of cheaper plastic. It was difficult to turn on the zeno after 15 uses so it is now rendered broken. BOTTOM LINE: ZENO hot spot is a waste of money. Better to invest in good cleansers, clarisonic and benzoyl peroxide.

Pros:
None
Cons:
Expensive and didn't help my pimples heal faster.
I found this device did not work for me. It didn't make my pimples worse or better. I've had the device for over a year now and lately it just sits in the drawer since I've found it is not effective.

Cons:
severe burn, not for sensitive skin
DO NOT USE ALONG WITH STRONG TOPICAL PRODUCTS. I have sensitive skin and when I used Zeno along with prescription Duac, I got a huge and horribly painful chemical burn. The cyst went away, but I'll have a burn mark for year.

Pros:
None whatsoever.
Cons:
Spent my money on trash, Heat makes pimple bacteria grow rapidly and makes the pimples even bigger than before. Did i mention it costs a lot, and its not even worth it.
Bottom line: Dont buy this trash, its hard to keep that thing up for 2.5 minutes on a single point and it is tiring to keep it there. You have to clean the thing every time with alcohol to prevent the spread of bacteria on the metal tip. If you forget just even once, you are just going to give yourself big red swollen pimples. Won't work on most acne, They are vague in telling you if it will work on one pimple and not the other. They usually tell you not to use it in sensitive areas.
I've seen that it is only safe to use it under the chin and neck. Anywhere in the face and you might end up with a red dot for...who knows. PLus its hard to pin point where the undergrown pimple is and even though you can feel it under there...you might be putting it on the wrong place and heating your skin...and you know what heat does to your skin...specially in summer... Its a Bust.

Pros:
It has a 30 day money back guarantee.
Cons:
Did not work at all.
I was very dissappointed with Zeno. It left red marks on the skin, and while it did not hurt, the heat was uncomfortable. It did not help my pimples one bit. I am glad I got my money back.

Pros:
Ummmm? It's small?
Cons:
Odd shape for the purpose it is supposed to serve; made acne worse; very expensive
This product did clear up ONE pimple I had. However, I had that 'feeling' under my skin as described in the manual. Typically, I could put some salicylic acid on that 3 times daily and end up with it clearing or a very small pimple. But this time, I used the Zeno. HUGE MISTAKE! Instead of clearing it, I got the largest zit I think I've had in my 36 years of life...and now I cannot make it go away. I am in the process of packing up the Zeno and returning it.
By the way, isn't heat supposed to DRAW OUT an infection? I wish I hadn't bought it.

Pros:
...
Cons:
left tender burns on my face that turned into scars which lasted for weeks... does not work like it says it does, expensive!
I'm really sad to be giving Zeno a bad review. Before purchasing it, I read review after review so that I wouldn't be wasting my $ on another false hope... and practically all reviews were good. But..It seems to work 15% of the time for me. It does one of two things: either WORK and heal the pimple, or, make the pimple even more inflamed and painful. I just do not like this device.. I'm just glad I bought the Zeno mini off of e-bay for a reduced price than the store-bought devices.. makes me feel an itty bit better. I realllly had put my hope in Zeno.

Pros:
Returning was easy. Reduces irritation and swelling for a little bit.
Cons:
Burns skin, leaves red marks, makes acne worse so plus you have burn marks on your skin.
I thought it worked at first. It will calm down a zit for awhile, and if it's a minor zit, it will go away after that (which it would of anyway), but most of the time it just pisses the zits off. It stalls them out until they decide to fight and come back bigger and badder then ever. It may even stall it for a day or two. On top of that, it burns your skin and leaves marks which makes the zits feel and look beat red and horrible. They don't want you to use it more then 3 times per zit cause of the burning effects. This product made my acne worse.

Pros:
Little if any
Cons:
Can be expensive, and not helpful.
If you have sensitive skin like I do, you have to be VERY careful about Zeno. The heat, as advertised, can come close to burning your skin. While this may work to kill the bacteria inside, the heat alone can do major damage to your sensitive skin, especially where the skin is thinnest, ie around the cheekbone area. One spot on the cheekbone skin area that I used Zeno on had taken 2 months for the redness to subside. And final thought, Zeno is really for those who have the occasional pimples. People on this site can tell you they have bad acne when in reality it's only a few unsightly bumps. And they use Zeno, and guess what, it may have worked for them. In my case, I really had severe acne with a lot of papules, pustules, and cysts. When it's THAT bad, and you will know it, then perhaps it's time to stop seeking for reviews and opinions on this site and go to a real dermatologist. I'm currently on Accutane, and I'm making very steady progress. Good luck to you too!
Pros:
None
