Customer Reviews of Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device with 90 Count Cartridge
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.
Customer Review: Donna, Chicago
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Customer Review: Zeno actually works!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was skeptical about buying this at first, but after seeing it in Allure, and reading the various reviews on amazon, I decided to try it.
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised; it does what it says. It won't work on cyctic acne or if the pimple has already come to a head. It does work on pimples that are just beginning.. those hard, tender knots deep under your skin you just know are going to be huge in a day or two. I've used it on two pimples that were red bumps, and both were mostly gone within 24 hours. Completely gone in less than 3 days. Usually it would have taken 7-10 days for them to go away, and it would have been UGLY!
Customer Review: I didn't notice a thing...
Summary: 2 Stars
I felt that I fell within the criteria that this product claims it will work for and after a few weeks of playing with it, I can really say I didn't notice a difference and won't be purchasing refills or recommending this. It simply didn't make a difference for myself or for a couple other people that tried it. I think the industry needs something external like this, but I feel this one misses the mark.
I give it stars at all because it is easy to use, compact, and has an elegant design. :)
Customer Review: Things You Should Know
Summary: 4 Stars
There are so many varied reviews for this product depending on which version you clicked on! Here's what I've found from mine:
First, this is intended to work on adult acne, the occasional blemish. Sorry teens, this probably isn't the best choice for you unless you only have the occasional break-out.
Second, this only works on NEW pimples so when you get it, don't expect the ones you currently have to suddenly disappear. It works best when you first notice a pimple appearing, especially in that just starting to get sore, slight red spot stage.
That being sad, it does actually work, provided you keep the first two rules in mind! Two days after I received mine, I noticed that tell tale red spot beginning to form, I zapped it & not only did it not get worse, by the next morning, it was completely gone!
Plus, a portion of the pink version goes to Breast Cancer research & if you buy it from the company (not sure about Amazon) there is a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.
All in all, a great product.
