| 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. |

| I was very skeptical about this item. I am a 34 year old female who has had mild acne my whole life. Most people never noticed but it is because I never left the house if it was very severe. I have tried everything. I have spent so many dollars on acne products and believed one recent "acne kit" worked but the acne was still there. I must have tried every brand out there. Every cream, gel, lotion, ointment, mask, toner, astringent, etc. I thought it was the way I ate but I drink a ton of water and never touch fast food. I then though maybe it was because I was over washing. You name it I have thought of it. I bought this after I have had a few zits that would not clear up. Nobody likes to talk or even read about zits/acne but it is a problem for some of us. It literally kept me from going out. I recently had a huge one on my cheek, the kind you can feel and it is still healing. I received the ZENO 90 last week. I charged it for the first six hours and it states to use it on acne that is not at the surface already but acne that you can feel coming on. I had a few small ones and tried it on those and they went away. Still skeptical because they were not big and never hit the surface so how was I to know it was the ZENO or not. Then tonight I got a really big one next to the old one on my cheek. I got depressed. I know it is pathetic. I knew this was one that was going to be huge. It was one like the others I have had. You cannot help but pick at it and it takes weeks to go away. Scabs up and bleeds, no make up will cover it. Since it was so deep I truly did not think the ZENO would get it. I could literally feel pain on my cheek that is how bad this new acne was. I used the ZENO twice on it tonight and I cannot even feel the acne pain anymore and within hours it is clearing up! I did not believe it would work until I tried it tonight. I almost want to cry. This little device is giving me part of my life back. I was so embarrassed at some of my recent acne I could not bare to face people. What this thing did tonight proved it works on even the most deep seeded acne that will take weeks to clear. As far as treatments they are not bad at all. They have some heat but nothing too uncomfortable. I truly think it is the acne that you apply it to that can cause the most pain not the device. I also clean the device with an alcohol pad after each use just to be safe. I cannot say enough about this product. I was very skeptical but after tonight, I am a believer and will never use anything else besides this. Of course I will still wash my face with a cleanser but if I feel anything coming on, I am using my ZENO. It rocks! |

| I was skeptical of this product - especially at the price - however I am so pleased with its effectiveness. I rely on other reviewers remarks and so I am writing to tell you that it is definately worth the price. I can't believe how quickly it clears up a pimple. When I think of all the money I've spent on products over the years - and I'm in my 40s! I was tired of buying products that overdried my skin but left me with a red, angry looking spot. This product is truly amazing and works as effectively on mild acne. I only wish the Zeno was around when I was a teenager! |
AMAZING!!

| I usually only break out once a month, but when I do it's not just little pimples, it's cystic acne. I know the product says it doesn't treat cystic acne but I thought I'd give it a shot. I knew right away that I was about to get one so I started the treatment. I actually did about 3 treatments for about 2 1/2 days. It was well worth it. Not only did my huge zit go away, it went away without the bleeding, scarring and dark spots that usually acompany it's horrible visit. This little machine is heaven sent and well worth the price!! |
Buy this product!

As I bet most people are, I was very skeptical of this product before I bought it, but I have to tell you, it is absolutely amazing. I have struggled with acne since I was a teen, and while it has cleared up a lot, I still get menstrual acne, and always have at least one pimple. From the very first time I used Zeno, I have been amazed. It keeps new pimples from growing, and while it says it doesn't work on existing acne, I used it on a cluster of 3 pimples I'd had for a month, and within 2 days, they were completely gone. I could not be happier with this product and it is totally worth the price.
Buy it!! |
Great device!

I only just recently discovered the Zeno. I wish I'd heard about it sooner. I've been through numerous treatments of Accutane and every topical product available. This is by far the best solution for clearing up acne I've found. Within hours of my applying the third (sometimes second) treatment to the affected area it is cleared up. I get cystic acne, and have had a very high success rate with it. Not wanting to go through another course of Accutane this appeared to be a viable alternative for me ... and thus far it has proved to be the best alternative I've tried.
I read all the reviews on the product before I purchased it and found them to be overwhelmingly positive. While this product is quite an investment when I compare it to what I've spent in treating acne over the years the cost is trivial. I've been battling acne since my teen years and am now in my 40's. I've had a lot of experience with a number of products and consider this to be by far the best solution. |

Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device with 90 Count Cartridge, Pink
This item is not reviewed or recommended as helping with cycstic acne, but it makes an immense difference. I have hormonal acne from IVF drugs. This device substainially brings down the swelling of these cysts within hours. Repeated use keeps them less active and more or less flush with the skin. A godsend! Really the only thing which helps the situation at all, it makes a remarkable difference. |

Nice Skin Tool

| Review Date: January 23, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Kristy Jancura, Cleveland, Ohio |
Zeno is a nice skin tool for untimely blemishes. It is much a necessity in my house now. I suspect the reason for its mixed reviews is because you really must follow the directions. However, I have to say I did notice more unnecessary negativity with the Zeno reviews on this site when I researched before buying...many which I have found to be unfounded now that I have used the Zeno personally. It works much better than the traditional creams and lotions which just dry out the skin. A deep, painful unsightly blemish that surfaced above my lip from yesterday morning is no longer visible...this is why I use it! It works very effectively!

RechargeabIe Pimple Destroyer

| Review Date: March 24, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Carl David, Santa Fe, NM |
| Any rechargeable product can NOT sit in a box a year uncharged and be expected to work. That is why it is a rechargeable product...the battery has to be charged regularly just like a digital or video camera. This is pretty basic. The directions on this product even tell you to keep it charged regularly. Not smart to do otherwise. If you follow the directions, this is a good product that does what it claims. My face has never looked better. |

I have owned my own day spa business for over 10 years and have carried Zeno in my spa since it was introduced. Bar none, Zeno is one of my top spa product sellers. My clients love it because it works on most of their blemishes and because it contains no harsh, drying chemicals. I even had one client that came back to me saying that it saved her during pregnancy, because her doctor would not prescribe her any meds because of her condition. It is a safe, natural alternative for removing blemishes and I will continue to carry it in my spa.

My two cents on the Zeno Pro Device
|
| Review Date: October 28, 2009 |
| Reviewer: R. Rastogi, Phila, PA |
Overall, Zeno has been an above-average success. It is quite simple to use. It dispenses concentrated heat to destroy bacteria. I usually break out pretty badly every couple months. When I do break out, it is always huge zits that sometimes leave scars for months. I'm 33 and my acne has gotten worse as I age.
I've noticed as I use it, it takes some zits that were bound to be pretty severe and prevents them from ballooning into massive acne. It does not work on every zit, but if you follow the directions (completely idiot-proof), you should see results on a majority of them, as I have. At the least, a zit that stayed on my face for 2 weeks can now be reduced to staying on my face for less than a week. This is a big deal, b/c the longer the zit stays on you, the greater the chance to scar.
This is a medical device. It is expensive, but the replacement tips are pretty reasonable. As someone who sees a dermatologist, uses many different acne creams, potions, etc, I figured I had nothing to lose. I am quite happy I bought it, and at least it offers some hope to reduce some adult acne. I love that it is medication free and uses nothing more than heat. And don't be afraid, it's not so hot as to burn you. It's a nice warm heat, which if used properly, leaves nothing more than a redness around the zit for about 30 mins. |
It really works

| This is a great product - it really works and is simple to use. I wish it was a tad faster but 2.5 mins is worth it. I leave mine fully charged in my purse and if I ever need it I use it while I am commuting. |
