We told you about the zit zapping Zeno, but now there’s another contender from ThermaClear.  According to New Beauty this device is just as effective as and "literally 75 times faster than the Zeno treatment mechanism," and they both treat acne that’s already ruining your day.

So how does it work?  Simply hold the heat-generating tip directly on the zit of your choice.   After a little while the tip transfers heat directly into the zit.  Bacteria are very picky about their environment.  Raise the temperature just a few degrees and in two minutes you’ve successfully massacred millions of the little buggers.  Sounds great, but does ThermaClear actually work?  Since we have not tried it, we found an expert who has.  Sarah Bellum at  Beauty Brains recently reviewed ThermaClear and here’s what she said:

Yes, it does work, although it’s not 100% effective. The first few pimples I tried it on literally dried up over night. But I didn’t always see such miraculous results. So I gave it the acid test and gave it to my teen-age nephew to use. He said he uses it twice daily, once before school and once after. When I asked him if it helped his acne he replied “Uh, I guess it’s better.” So then I asked him why he’s using it twice every day if he’s not sure it’s working. His insightful response was “I dunno.”

Fortunately we don’t have to rely only his stirring testimony as proof that it works. Therative, the company that makes Thermaclear, have clinical studies that prove the efficacy of their little gadget. They’ve shown it can help clear up pimples 2 to 4 times faster than untreated pimples. (It would be interesting to see how Thermaclear compares to regular acne meds like Sal acid and BP but, alas, they didn’t test it that way. Read entire review
