Cons:
The Zeno had ZERO effect on my blemishes!
I tried it for two weeks on different pimples and followed the instructions - 3 zaps over 24 hrs per pimple. Although at first it seemed to successfully zap the blemish away, the pimple did not go away (as the product claims). After two weeks of zapping pimples and seeing NO results, I took it back to Walgreens and got all my money back. I am now moving on to a tea tree oil regimen! I will come back to report on that!!! :-)

Pros:
Easy to use, reduces swelling for a (very) short period after
Cons:
Doesn't work! It took 6 or 7 treatments for one blemish to finally go away. For the price and time it took, I would definitely not recommend it to anyone.
Dont buy it! Its expensive and hardly works! Waste of $$

Pros:
None
Cons:
It absolutely doesn't work!!!
Excuse me for my french, but it's a piece of sh*t. I just want to warn you, save your money, it doesn't worth of it. It makes pipmles bigger and leaves red marks on your face.

Pros:
Nive color
Cons:

DO NOT BUY THAT PIECE OF JUNK
November 19, 2008
Pros:
It did kind of take the pain away from a large under the skin spot on my chin but did not stop it from coming up.
Cons:
Didnt help at all, was left with a red mark where the spot had been so it looked just as bad as having the spot. It is incredibly expensive for what it actually does. I am sticking to antibiotic in future.
Do not waste your money, it said it would help my kind of acne but it didn't at all. I was incredibly disappointed after looking at reviews on the net and in magazines. It promises to fade spots and or make them disappear within 24-48 hrs. I was left with a huge red mark for several days. I didnt dare try it on any other part of my face after that.

Pros:
looks pretty cool
Cons:
it doesnt work on the pimples that you really need it for.. i.e. the deep ones that hurt like hell. it works ok for the small ones that go away in a day or two anyways.
basically just a waste of money, you can get the same results from an OTC topical acne cream. dont buy it.

Pros:
Worked. As soon as I saw a pimple forming I would zap it with the zeno.
Cons:
left scars on my face.
My acne never really was the kind that scarred too badly; in fact, it rarely, if ever, scarred. After I had been using this product I noticed I had many craters where I had used the device, So I had to stop using it. This was about a year ago, so my scars are a lot less severe now but still.

Pros:
You can return it w/i 30 days. I found the heat soothing. It makes cute little noises. Looks kinda cool.
Cons:
Required far too many treatments to get results. Made me skin peel slightly. Dind't work for a majority of my acne.
I guess I am in that unlikely 10%. It does nothing for me that a hot compress won't do. The 2.5 minute zap feels like an eternity. The heat actually felt pleasant and relieved pain for an hour or so, but there were no real results from using the Zeno. It kept one pimple from forming. It seemed to calm a few more - though it took way more than the 2-3 treatments as claimed by the mfr (think 7-8). As for the other blights (some cropped up suspiciously close to where I had treated other blemishes with the Zeno)... well, they are still there.

Pros:
Probably works. Hard to tell since you don't know if the zit would have resolved on it's own
Cons:
RIP OFF business model. All it is a heat source but they limit the uses and make you buy "refills". It's the give away the printer for free and make you pay $$ for refill cartridges business model. Only they charge $$ for the 'printer' too.
Since it 'probably' helps, what I'm going to do is measure the temp of the surface. Buy some adjustable heat source and duplicate the temperature. Not sure how this'll work, temperature adjustable soldering iron comes to mind. Lots of legal disclaimers here if anyone tries this. And I haven't yet. I recommended it but it's not a clear cut buy. Very expensive for what it does. Very irritating business model. But probably helps.
Pros:
Money-Back guarantee! I took it back to Walgreens and they refunded me 100%.
