And if you want my honest opinion, and this is coming from someone that has always had mild to moderate (monthly pimples) - save yourself the $2-300.00 that they cost here. (Or whatever they're going for now. I paid close to $300.00USD at the time).
Oh, another word of advice; any of the stores that do sell them and have units set up to show you how they work - DON'T TRY THEM OUT. (I went into Shopper's last weekend rather late and there was a younger girl working in the cosmetics section by herself. It was slow that night while I shopped but, I did notice her basically trying out every sample they had right along with the Zeno. (No cleaning of the unit or anything and it was rather gross because she had so much bad makeup caked on over very bad acne).
If you're desperate for, or just need help with acne/pimples or let's say complexion you're best off to see either your GP or get your GP to recommend you to a dermatologist. (Best thing I ever did). And WAY CHEAPER!!
I know wash with either Spectroderm or Benzagel 5 (both found at drugstores or Walmart) very cheap! Always a good moisturizer with SPF and under eye cream and usually a layer of sunscreen with SPF60 before makeup. (You don't want to swap pimples for wrinkles or brown spots). Benzagel makes a really good and cheap lotion/cream that you can wear under your makeup or even alone or at night. Bought at the same places as well. It comes in a 5% and 8%, I believe formulations but, the 8 you need an Rx for. (The numbers stand for the amount of Benzoyl Peroxide in it). And that was recommended by my derm and it actually does work if you get into the routine of using it. It's the products with all of the other garbage in them that end up clogging up your pores. Read the ingredients - it's BP and not a whole lot else in them.
I've also tried the whole ProActiv route as well...if you haven't and want info on that line - just ask!
A little long but, hope I helped you out a little!
