Is the Zeno Mini Acne Clearing Device A Scam?

A pimple clearing machine? Sweet.

Initially researching the Zeno Mini Acne Clearing Device was a treat because there's a ton of opinions out there - this is a really popular product.

The most common thing I've heard from everyone is that this is something that works only on "particular" kinds of acne - people with with a lot of acne and not really someone who just has a pimple or two here or there.

So, if you don't have very serious acne you'll probably find going out and fidgeting with the Zino mostly a waste of time.

If you're wondering, "Will Zeno work for me?" I recommend you start off with the Zeno Mini. Not only is it a convenient travel size that you can keep in your purse, but the price is a lot less than the regular Zeno so if you find it doesn't work you're not out too much (you can always resell this little device on e-bay as well).

I was able to get my hands on this device, in fact I can't remember a time when I had been more excited to use something like this. I've never in my entire life actually been excited to see new pimples LOL. With the Zeno Mini in hand I was ready to vanquish these little suckers.

Although it didn't make make the pimples dissapear as quickly as I'd imagined, it did make them fade and not make them grow anymore. That solves one of my biggest problems right there - when I feel a new pimple coming on I tend to tamper with it and it actually gets BIGGER than if I had just left it alone.

Overall I'd say the Zeno Mini is a nice weapon to have in your acne fighting arsenal. Try it out and see if you like it.

More Reviews on the Zeno Mini

This is a review from the Amazon Vine program. If you're not familiar with Vine, it's basically a program where you get free stuff in exchange to leave an honest reviw. I've found reviews from Viners to be the best.

"Though the price-tag on the Zeno seems daunting, rest-assured, the product works!! In our instant-gratification society, this little wonder fits-in nicely. Blemishes subside rapidly and with no discomfort. (The tip of the Zeno becomes very warm but the sensation, for me, was not unpleasant). After two treatments (several hours apart), my blemish was virtually unnoticeable with the help of my mineral-foundation.

Now, it may interest you to know that I've used Renova for over six-years, so I was a little hesitant to use the Zeno (though I saw no contraindications in the booklet). (For those who are unacquainted with the product, it is a Vitamin-A derivative which must be prescribed by a physician or dermatologist ... while it encourages collagen growth, reduces fine-lines, and exfoliates, it also leaves your skin vulnerable to sunlight and various other elements.) I have used this product on two different occasions with no side-effects. (I am only speaking for myself, of course. So, be sure to take care if you are in a similar situation ... and if you have an adverse reaction, feel free to comment on this post so others can read it).

The Zeno is now a permanent part of my beauty "arsenal." Between the Renova, Bare Escentuals (as recommended by my dermatologist), and the Zeno, my skin is absolutely pristine and glowing. A minor miracle ... and, as one reviewer stated and I firmly agree, I wish this was available when I was a teenager!

Bottom-line: the Zeno is quick (two and half minutes per treatment), painless (for me), concentrated (it addresses just the area that requires healing), and really cute!! (Aesthetically speaking, it is super slick!!) In my opinion (and I am a tough critic!) the Zeno is entirely worth the investment!"

"However, it does not work well on bigger pimples or old pimples....but the instructions warned me that it would not work on older pimples. It also does not work on blemishes, new or old. Although it does not help on many of these things, I actually HAVE found some good use for it that DOES work. Whenever I get a really big pimple, the ones with the nasty white puss, I can put the Zeno mini on it to soften the pimple so that it is easier to pop and has less of a blemish afterwards. OR I can pop a pimple and then use the Zeno mini to "cauterize" the open skin shut, making it so that the pimple is not open and waiting for more bacteria to come in AND so that it heals a little quicker....yes, closing it shut (for me) helps it to clear a little quicker and leaves a blemish for a shorter amount of time than if I did not use the Zeno mini."

Wendy Harris @ Amazon

"I have been using the zeno mini for about a week or so. Hard to tell if it helping, it doesn't make a dramatic difference from what I have experienced. Even the product manual says you have to treat the same pimple several times over a 24 hour period, so this can get expensive fast. It goes through batteries like crazy, if I would have known that, I would have purchased the rechargable larger Zeno. I give it 5/10. The cost benefit ratio is not compelling in my opinion."
