Zeno Review
Zeno is a treatment set out to clear your acne without the use of medication or constant buying of products every month just to keep the acne away. This handheld device heats the skin up to 120 degrees for 2 and a half minutes that is proven to kill bacteria and speeds up the production of heat-shocked proteins. These proteins help kill the surface bacteria which influences your skin’s natural healing techniques, thereby reducing the redness and inflammation in the pores of the skin. The product is only good for first 90 uses though before that, the cartridge itself has to be replaced.
Zeno is gentle, 100% natural and reduces acne and blemishes in the time span of 24 hours. The whole process is a simple 3-step system. First, you press the power button and wait for the indicator light to light up. Place the product onto the acne or any blemish on your skin and listen to the 30 second beeps and count them till you reach the full 2 ½ minutes. The last step is to remove the device from the skin when you hear a multi-tone sound that indicates that the treatment is over. Best time to use the device is when the acne is in its starting phase. Often only one treatment is needed but repetitions may be necessary depending on the severity of acne.
The downside to the product is that it leaves red marks on your skin and does not always work as advertised. The pimples also form dark scabs over them. It gives satisfying results in short term of usage but no success as of yet in the long run. The price range is also higher than most average people would pay and hence, following the cosmetic release to acne issues, only cater for a higher end market. The device also takes some time to heat up to the required temperature and when used, can irritate the already damaged skin. Also, an over usage to solve the acne problems can make you run short on the cartridge supply too soon.
As most acne solving products out there in the market use methods usually based on scrubs, lotion, toners and cleansers, the electronic solution is not always the best way to go, unless patience is applied in the process. Positive results for this product in the long run are yet to be found.
