"For those of you not yet acquainted with the Zeno, allow me to formally introduce it. This cute little hand-held gadget is designed to soothe and shrink blemishes using intense heat. I&amp;#39;ve had mine for more than a year now, but somehow, I&amp;#39;ve failed to devote an in-depth blog post to it, and some of you have expressed curiosity. Does it really work?\nPinterestFacebookHere is the deal. For best results, you whip out the Zeno the moment you feel a zit starting to form. I usually then use it a couple more times that day, to really fry the sucker before it rears its ugly red head. You just press a button and give the Zeno a few seconds to heat up, then it blinks to let you know it&amp;#39;s ready, and you press the warm tip onto the blemish and hold it there until the time (2.5 minutes) is up, indicated by some beeps. It feels like the tip gets hotter toward the end of the treatment, but it&amp;#39;s never intense enough to really hurt.\nDoes it really work? In my unscientific opinion, I would say that it does, at least about half the time. I think you have to catch the pimple very early and be diligent about using the Zeno frequently in order to see results. But even on those occasions when it doesn&amp;#39;t seem to noticeably speed the healing process, it definitely helps ease the pain of a pimple, not to mention make me feel like I am taking action toward minimizing it (which helps prevent picking and prodding).\nThe Zeno costs $129, so as with the Clarisonic I blogged about recently, it&amp;#39;s something you might want to wait and request as a birthday gift, to ease economic guilt. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you&amp;#39;ll have plenty of time to see if it works for you. Would I call it a prudent investment? If you get deep, painful pimples regularly, yes. Otherwise, a good drying mask will probably do you just as well.\nHave any of you tried the Zeno, or a similar gadget? What did you think? Anybody got other Zeno questions I can answer? Btw, I am also obsessed with the Roomba robotic vacuum, so feel free to toss out questions about that newfangled electronic device, too.\nPinterestFacebookMore zit-zapping secrets ...\n\nTry my go-to treat-and-conceal products.\n\n\nStart using salicylic-glycolic pads.\n\n\nGet more sleep for a couple weeks.\n\n\nIf all else fails, go get a cortisone shot.\n\nMore Cool Ways to Get Glamour.com Wherever You Go!\nAdd glamour.com to your Google homepage, or follow The Girls in the Beauty Department on Twitter."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
