Clear for Life

Here’s yet another reminder to remain skeptical before you buy acne products from the web.

I recently stumbled across two dubious ones: Zyporex and Pronexin. Buyers beware as I have a good reason to believe this is a scam.

The scam looks very similar to Acnetix and Acnexus scams by Garret Devore Labs I reported about last year. However this scam involves a larger number of products, such as Zyporex, Pronexin, Acneticin and Acnepril, and they are sold by a company called Experimental Nutrition Research Llc.

The way this scam works is so similar to Acnexus and Acnetix that I believe the boys from Ohio (GD Labs is registered in Ohio) have been busy again; though I can’t be sure about this.

Here’s how the scam works:

• Create an acne product with impressive looking list of ingredients, fancy bottle and weird name. This is very simple and anyone with little bit of cash can do this. It’s not that hard to find companies that do contract manufacturing. You just tell them what you want in the bottle and the label to print on it. Even I get few emails from companies proposing to create my own line of skin care products and supplements.
• Create “independent” review sites that praise your products. The more of such sites you can create the better it looks.
• Hire Indians for $5/hour to create fake testimonials and posts to acne forums, Yahoo! Answers and other places. This creates the illusion buzz that gets people interested.
• Cook up another product and repeat the process.
• Move into other lucrative markets; such as weigh loss pills, fat burners, wrinkle creams, anti-aging creams and pills, night creams and muscle building supplements.

Sometimes you can just bottle the same stuff under a different name and call it good. For example the ingredient lists for Acnepril and Acneticin are identical.

Paying attention to website design also seems optional. Take a look at the so-called review sites below and tell me if they seem strangely similar. And if you are looking for real fun, check out the posts at their blogs. Some really… hmmm, interesting posts.

Here’s a list of websites involved in the scam (not conclusive):

• http://www.acnepril.com/

Why you should think twice before buying these products

I want to make it clear that I haven’t used any of these products and know very little about them. Using topical solutions is a bit like going into a casino. You roll the dice and see if you get lucky. If you are lucky the product works, tough luck if it doesn’t.
Given that their business model is based on lies and deceit (creating fake review website and posing them as independent) raises questions of their commitment to customer satisfaction.

You really don’t know what’s in the bottles. The ingredient lists look impressive, but that’s not the whole story. You could fill the bottle with cheap stuff and add miniscule amounts of impressive looking ingredients. That way your list of ingredients looks impressive without actually having to pay for all that expensive stuff.

Also the promised money back guarantee may be less solid than advertised. Heck in some cases people haven’t even received their products, as these complaints show.

This company ripped me off. I was suspicious they were conn artists and the company was a scam but was dumb enough to order anyway. It has been a month and a half and I still have not recvd my order. I called the company (of course their # is no longer listed) atleast 5 times, left 3 voice mails and also sent 4 emails. Still have heard nothing back. I used Paypal and am trying to get my money back but it doesnt seem to be working. I have spent so much time on this its ridiculous. Dont be a sucker and order anything from this ENR company, they’ll just take your money!!!! Im bitter and I want that company out of business!!!

Zyporex - Finally Reviewed… (scroll down to reader comments)

Zyporex is supposed to be a product that helps clear acne. This company is not real. Both the webiste and the testimonials are fake. I think the person or people behind this also made the other webite comparing the best acne treatments. I ordered the product, unfortunately without doing sufficient research, and never got it in the mail. They took $29.99 for the product and $7.99 for shipping. There is no contact info, except for a defunct email. I tried calling the number on my bank statement and I was immediately tansfered to a voice mail box that was full and not accepting new messages.

Zyporex Complaints - Another Internet Scam

This one is about Lipofuze, one of their weight loss products.

Elinalla,
You are lucky than me. I am staying in Singapore and ordered Lipofuze on July 16, 2009 via LLC. I still received nothing from them but they credit my visa more than US100 already.

LipoFuze by Experimental Nutrition Research LLC Complaints - Quality of product is negative

Better Business Bureau doesn’t think much of Zyporex and rates it as F. BBB Reliability Report for Zyporex Here’s what F means.

Company Rating F
Our opinion of what this rating means:
We strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.

In case you run into trouble with Zyporex, Pronexin or any other of their products here are their contact details (as listed in the LA Times Yellow Pages).

Stop believing in magic and miracles and save yourself tons of trouble

Here’s easy way to avoid all such scams in the future: stop believing into magic and miracles. The reason these scam wagons keep rolling is because people buy into the idea they can just apply some cream or take a pill and get over their acne. Some may get lucky, but for most people it’s not that easy.

Acne is an internal problem and is a result of bad diet and lifestyle choices and, in many cases, emotional health. Start treating it as such and you can forget all these stinking creams and have clear skin for life.

Clear for Life - The lifestyle for health, happiness and clear skin

Few days back Oliver emailed me and asked if I know something about a product called 7 Day Acne Detox, available at http://www.7dayacnedetox.com/.

Call me paranoid, but the moment I laid my eyes on that page I knew something was not quite right about it. Perhaps I’ve just seen too many of these stories.

It didn’t take too long to discover that the same beloved characters that brought us such heart warming scams as Acnetix and Acnexus are also behind the 7 Day Acne Detox miracle. Namely the colorful characters at Garrett DeVore Labs, or GD Labs.

Now by calling this a scam, I don’t mean that they just take your money and run. No, they probably do fulfill their end of the bargain. So you do get a nice plastic bottle with some nice pills inside it. But I believe that by creating these products GD Labs has their eyes more on your wallet than helping you to get clear.

Let’s see why I believe so.

First, the website just doesn’t look believable at all. It looks like something that’s been thrown together quickly. If I would have spent time, money and effort to come up with a serious product I would also spend time making sure the website reflects that. But perhaps that’s just me.

Enter the anonymous ’she’

Perhaps they are just really bad at this, but when you suddenly introduce a mysterious ’she’ in the middle of the sales letter as the heroine of the story, to me that just smells like a cheap scam. I mean, who is this ’she’? Where did she come from? What’s her relevance to this? Is ’she’ part of your so-called research team that accidentally discovered this 7 Day Acne Detox miracle product?

Please don’t keep me in suspension. I want to know!

 

But the surprises aren’t over yet.

Introducing the family where everyone has acne!

Perhaps this is another conincidence, but the mysterious ’she’ is really fortunate that her equally anonymous family and friends also have acne! Another blessing from the lady luck is that her miraculous discovery cured them all in one big swoop.

Boy, she really must be onto something if her whole family and all of her friends cured their acne with these miracle pills.

Why isn’t she on Oprah already? The people need to hear about this miracle!

Unfortunately in the midst of their excitement to bring this miraculous product and alleviate your suffering they forgot to correct the rather obvious typos in their sales letter. But we can forgive that since this is obviously one small person fighting the system in altruistic quest to alleviate the suffering of others.

But wait there’s more.

You just gotta love these FAQs

The 7 Day Acne Detox pills seem better by the minute. Just look the answers to these FAQs.

I mean, this product is so good that they have to warn you that your skin might clear up too quickly!

Boy, I wish I had something that good. But I guess 7 Day Acne Detox just wipes the floor with the competition. I guess I just have to quit doing this now, and get back to 9 to 5.

Perhaps you are smarter than me and can explain the dangers of skin clearing up too quickly. Perhaps it’s just too much for some people to handle and it makes them go crazy or something.

Please use the comment section to enlighten me.

Another amazing feature of the 7 Day Acne Detox is that the more acne you have the faster it clears up. Boy, do I now feel sorry for those with only a mild acne. Well, another reason for me to pack up and start writing my CV.

And of course the 7 Day Acne Detox doesn’t just cure your acne, it also reduces fine lines and wrinkles. And on the other page it said that users also lose weight.

In an earlier post I mentioned that GD Labs is a diverse company marketing weightloss, anti-aging and wrinkle reduction products in addition to their acne treatment line. I guess this is where the diversity really pays off. They can pull from their research and experience in many fields to create one super product.

It really gets depressing when you are faced with such overwhelming competition.

OK, let’s get serious again.

I touched on this when I wrote about Acnexus, but it seems that there’s a ring of few ‘review’ sites that post glowing reviews of all the GD Lab’s products. Other products are referred with less than admiring comments.

Coincidence again?

Maybe, or perhaps the same people are also create these review sites. So far I’ve identified these as part of the ring:

• http://www.researchacnetreatments.com
• http://www.sybervision.com/reviews/reviews.php
• http://getacnetreatments.com/
• http://www.pricesexposed.com/
• http://www.acnecuresrevealed.net/

There are probably more. And they seem to come up with new review sites all the time. Just like they seem to be creating new acne treatment products all the time.

They also post and ask questions at Yahoo! Answers and other similar sites. Of course their products always seem to work so well.

And the same thing happens at acne.org and other acne forums. For some reason the people posting good reviews of these products are always new members with one or only few posts. More established members seem a bit more skeptical.

They also sell their products at eBay.

At least these guys are involved:

• http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/nickzolo
• http://myworld.ebay.com/itchy22

At the time of writing at least other one of these had less than admiring comments on his/her guest book.

The smoke screen operation continues with supposedly independent people writing guides and reviews of these products at eBay. Just makes me wonder why they only review the products by GD Labs?

Here’s one example http://search.reviews.ebay.com/members/mckayster_W0QQuqtZg

Finally Rip Off Report had quite a few complaints about Garrett DeVore Labs. Here’s a link to the search results:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/searchresults.asp?q1=ALL&q2=&q3=&q4=&q5=&q7=&q6=Garrett%20DeVore&searchtype=0

Again, I’m not saying they are going to take your money and run. But perhaps you want to hear the other side of the story also before putting your trust on these people.

Clear for Life - The Fun, Easy and Delicious Solution to Permanently Clear Skin.

Honest review of Chris Gibson’s Ginale skin care line.

Ginale skin care line looks like Chris Gibson’s attempt to enter the lucrative acne product business. So instead of selling you something once he hopes to get his hands on your wallet every month.

I wouldn’t recommend them because they are expensive, risky and, like all quick-fixes, dubious.

Let me tell you why.

When I started researching Ginale it struck me how little information I could find. I could find only few comments and reviews at popular acne and skin care forums.

Perhaps the product is still new, or perhaps there’s another reason for this.

At least I wasn’t greeted with barrage of paid reviews and comments that’s so common with most acne products.

Points for honesty, in that regard, to Mr. Gibson. Because I don’t think he would have paid for the few comments I found. They were all negative, such as this one.

I stopped using the antibiotics and proactive alltogether and bought the book acne free in 3 days. I did the stuff in the book along with acnezine. My face was cleared up. But I thought hey this new Ginale Skin care treatment that Chris Gibson made looks good, and I bought that. Worse thing I have ever done in my whole life. It broke me out completly worse than I have ever had before. I wish I could post before and after pictures of how good my skin looked when I was using Proactive or the Derm stuff.

http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php?showtopic=202611&hl=ginale

So far not so good.

Then I found this from the Ginale sales page:

The products you see below work at the cellular level by healing, hydrating, and renewing your skin like no other product on the market.

This is probably just harmless buffing, but it gives me an excuse for a reality check.

Please understand that none of these products ‘work at the cellular level and heal your skin’. That’s complete and utter BS.

The only thing that can heal your skin is your body. Healing is a complex function. Skin care products, such as Ginale, are inert and very much dead. How could dead substances suddenly achieve complex tasks (that are encoded into your DNA)?

Of course they can’t.

It’s just marketing buff designed to make you believe these products actually do something useful.

And please don’t think Ginale, or any other creams or lotions, can somehow nourish your skin. The nutrients in these are not in a form your cells can use. Nourishment happens from the inside out. Not the outside in.

They can only clean your skin and scrape dead skin cells off.

Sure that’s useful, but do you need 5 bottles for that? Especially at the cost of $85. When a normal soap and baking soda can do the same thing.

And I’ve seen too many complaints about Chris Gibson and his Acne Free in 3 Days to trust anything he says.

I mean, he claims that Acne Free in 3 Days is “Scientifically Proven Way To Permanently Clear Skin In Just Three Days”. On top of that he wants to put you on auto-ship program and send his Ginale skin care products to you every 60 days.

Something stinks here.

At least this time he’s honest about the money back guarantee. At the time of writing the sales page for Ginale reads (emphasis mine):

Better Than Risk-Free 30 Day Money Back Guarantee

As always, your order will be backed by the following better than risk-free 30 day money back guarantee:

“We promise the item(s) being received will be brand new and unopened. If you are not totally satisfied with the quality of the item(s), simply return the item(s) within 30 days of receiving them for a complete refund of the purchase price (less shipping and handling). The item(s) being returned must be unopened (package seals must not be broken) and unused to receive a full refund. Opened or used item(s) are not eligible for a refund.”

http://www.acnefreein3days.com/catalog/ginale.php

So as long as you are willing to order the products and only admire the beautiful package you are eligible for a refund. But if you try the product and find out they stink - tough luck.

Just makes me wonder how do you judge the quality of the items without using them… If you know, please enlighten me.

Finally I noticed that some items in the Ginale package make you sensitive to sunlight. You should avoid sun at all costs, and on top of that one of the jars contain sunscreen.

A bit of sunlight is essential for permanently clear and healthy skin. As I wrote in this post: 4 Ways sun helps with acne.

In my books avoiding sunlight to have a healthy and glowing skin is idiotic. It takes a dermatologist to recommend something like that.

I know this review has been negative. I hope I presented my case and reasons clearly.

I just don’t see a point in paying $85 to support a person with questionable business ethics. Especially since Ginale skin care line won’t offer anything you could find at less than 1/2 price from your local supermarket or health store.

You might as well just flush the money down the toilet. Long term the effect on your skin is the same. And at least you won’t produce 5 bottles of plastic waste doing so.

Real solution to clear and beautiful skin comes from the inside out. It won’t break your bank, but it does take some self-discipline. Get your act together and decide to do it. It’s not that difficult once you decide to do it.

I show you how in Clear for Life.

In earlier post I exposed what seems to be a massive scam by Garrett Devore Labs. Read all about it here: Acnexus - smells like a scam.

I just discovered another addition to the scam.

Acne treatment product called Acnetix.

This scam is so bad, it’s almost hilarious. Look at the error they’ve made in the sales letter.

In the sales letter they talk about Acnetix, how wonderful it is and how it’s going to save the world from certain annihilation. But then at the FAQ-section, they suddenly talk about something called Leptirex.

I had to take a screen capture of this before they change it. So here, take a look.

Leptirex is of course a weightloss pill that gets amazingly good reviews at the same sites that say Acnetix and Acnexus are hot selling acne products.

Besides these glaring errors, their all the sales pages look suspiciously similar. They have the same FAQ-sections and follow the same template.

I bet their business model is something like this.

1. Quickly cook up a new product
2. Invent an exotic sounding name (Bruunhause, Acnetix, Acnexus, Lepitrex, Freezox, Dermavisu, Reneuvitol… do I need to go on?)
3. Copy an existing website and try to remember to change the product name
4. Add it to your ‘independent’ review sites
5. Create fake accounts at popular forums and review sites and post positive comments about your products, such as this: http://www.acne.org/messageboard/acnetix-t203032.html (notice that that’s suzy8834’s first and only post)
6. Start selling on eBay
7. Cash in on desperate people that are willing to hand over their money for false promises printed on a nice looking bottle
8. Laugh your way to the bank

Lather, rinse, repeat until the FTC hauls your ass in jail.

Please, please, please don’t fall for these scams.

In many ways acne market is like weightloss market. Both are filled with desperate people looking for quick and easy solutions. And in both cases the solution is really simple, but it takes some work and discipline.

Getting clear is really, really, really simple. No secrets or magic required. Acne cannot survive in a body that’s in good health.

It’s so painfully obvious once you get it. And I mean really get it, not just nodding your head and forgetting it after five minutes. Once you get it, you really kick yourself on the ass for wasting years or decades with quick-fixes, when you could have been permanently clear in few months.

You can do it all by yourself. You don’t need to buy anything to get clear. Not even my book Clear for Life.

But if you are not quite sure on what to eat and how to go about this, Clear for Life can help you. I spent 7 years waddling through all the BS in acne and natural health fields to get to these simple truths. I took the simple and really obvious things that work and built the Clear for Life program around them.

Just look at what Nicole wrote to me.

Hey Mr. Pusso! I am so glad that I bought your book. I love all of your ideas, and I find my self nodding along with everything I am reading. Everything finally makes sense! I have been juicing greens everyday and i see and feel the benefits!

Once you get this everything does make sense. Getting clear can be simple. You just need to kick your butt and do it. If you don’t know how, let me take you by the hand and show how.

Another scam warning.

I got this email yesterday:

i tried acnexus, it made my face worse, i cant figure out how to get my money back or contact them. have people complained to you about them before?

I had never heard of Acnexus before, so I decided to look into it.

What I found smells the like the biggest scam of the millennia to me.

After a little digging I found that Acnexus is marketed by an obscure company in Utah called Garrett Devore Labs or GD Labs.

Little more digging revealed that this is a really ‘diverse’ company. It seems they market

• Weightloss pills
• Acne products
• Wrinkle creams
• Anti-aging products

If that product range doesn’t get your alarms going then I don’t know what will.

First Better Business Bureau has an unsatisfactory rating with Garrett Devore Labs with many unanswered and unresolved complaint. The BBB report also has address and phone number (in case you need them).

http://utah.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=139&bbb=1166&firm=22213772

Second there are at least two very pissed complaints at RipOff Report.

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff146848.htm

http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/245/RipOff0245808.htm

The whole operation seems a little dodgy. From what I’ve read it seems that Acnexus arrives in a plain package with no:

• Invoice
• Brochure
• Promotional material

You simply get the bottles and nothing else. The labels on the bottles also had obvious spelling errors, which now have been corrected.

The company claims Acnexus has been a big hit in Europe and is just entering the US market. Funny enough, I live in Europe and haven’t heard anything about them. And Google search reveals absolutely nothing about Acnexus in Europe.

Next the lifetime money-back guarantee might not be as solid as advertised. As this poster at acne.org forum found out.

I got it from the acnexus website. I e-mailed them about getting my money back and they said that because of rock bottom pricing, the lifetime money back guarantee is no longer in effect. So for all of you who ordered this product from their website thinking you were gonna get your money back like I did, think again!!

Here’s another post at the same forum:

My concerns were with the seller’s false claims so there seems to be something wrong with all this. For that reason, I wouldn’t trust what is in the bottle. In fact, only God knows what’s in it! I purchase allot on the net and I have never been more skeptic of a product before. Many other people on this board saw weird things with it: product shipped from Utah (not Europe), stamps on the box (major companies don’t use stamps), no invoice, no “thank you” note, spelling mistakes on bottle, incomplete instructions to use product, no ways to reach seller by phone (you can only live messages and hope to be called back), and so on. There is not even a return policy on acnexus.com “because of bargain price of 50% offered” but the product always sales at 50% (???).

If you are interested there’s a long Acnexus thread at acne.org forums.

As many posters on that thread pointed out it seems the people behind Garrett Devore Labs post fake reviews of their products on different review sites.

I can’t say for sure, but it seems to me that at least these sites are associated with GD Labs:

• http://www.pricesexposed.com/
• http://www.acnecuresrevealed.net/
• http://www.sybervision.com/reviews/reviews.php

The glowing reviews on those sites are so obviously fakes that my computer probably reeks of scam a full week after visiting those sites. So consider yourself warned before entering.

They also peddle their wares at Ebay with many angry customers complaining about them.

Based on my research it seems to be that GD Labs is behind at least these acne products:

• Bruunhause
• Asso Bar (supposedly contains gold)
• Oxycerin
• Orovo
• Acnetin
• Zyporex
• On The Spot
• Juliets 3 Step Acne Solution
• Biodermazen
• Lipovox

The websites for all those products are both dubious and alarmingly similar.

My guess is they just formulate (cook up) one product after another, invent exotic sounding name for it and put up a website to market it.

Based on everything I’ve seen I wouldn’t trust GD Labs even with a rusty old penny. If you’ve been scammed and can’t get a refund file a chargeback with your credit card company.

Recently one of my readers asked my opinion about an acne product. Here’s what she wrote to me:

The following company:
http://www.skinlight.co.uk/product_1_Acne+Kit.html claim
the following: The results from using this kit are excellent and immediate.
*The system will not only cure and prevent acne it will re-surface the skin
bringing it back to its original condition. *
* *
*Do you think this product really works? or is it a waste of money?*

I looked at it and…

Save your money.

There’s nothing new under the sun with that ‘Acne Kit’. Merely a collection of chemical based topicals to irritate your skin.

Let’s look at those claims.

The results from using this kit are excellent and immediate.

Maybe, but I highly doubt it. Sure it’s possible to reduce acne with topical treatments.

The system will not only cure and prevent acne…

I guess that depends on what you mean by ‘curing acne’. If you mean a temporary reduction or disappearance of pimples, with likely side-effect of irritating the skin, sure that’s possible.

But if you mean complete and lifelong freedom from acne, then I have to say…

Quack, quack, quack…
What’s that?
Oh, it’s our friend the duck.

…it will re-surface the skin bringing it back to its original condition.

Total and utter horse crap.

That statement implies that the creams and lotions would somehow repair and heal the skin. The only thing that can ‘bring the skin back it its original condition’ is your body. And it cannot do that as long as the skin is full of chemicals or that it has to eliminate toxins via the skin (because all the other channels of elimination are ‘fully booked’).

As you probably know the cause of acne is internal. In a more practical level, it’s the way you live your life.

The only thing that can permanently break you free from acne is a healthy lifestyle and periodical detoxification. I describe the nuts and bolts of all this in Clear for Life as well as simple and highly practical instructions to applying it to your life.

As long as you are willing to put in some effort and persistence you can get clear. The solution to clear skin is so simple and painfully obvious that nobody has to suffer from acne.

Proactiv is on it again.

This time they recruited professional skateboarder Ryan Sheckler as their celebrity face.

This is what Ryan had to say about Proactiv:

“When you put it on your face, you can feel it actually getting the dirt out. It feels like you have a brand new face.”

Funny enough Ryan, but you are right. You do get a new face when those chemicals (and the free radical damage they cause) destroy your skin.

I’m just wondering what he means by saying ‘you can feel it actually getting the dirt out’?

Does he refer to the burning sensation the chemicals cause? Or perhaps it’s the redness and irritation Proactiv causes to so many people. Perhaps those chemicals have like little shovels they use to ‘dig out the dirt’ and that causes redness.

Don’t mean to sound too negative. Proactiv probably helps millions of people to mask away their acne. As I wrote in my original Proactiv review.

Not to mention that Proactiv is horribly overpriced. You could probably get as good stuff for 10th of the price. The ingredients in Proactiv cost next to nothing. Marketing expenses probably account for 90% of the price.

Another point.

Quick-fixes like Proactiv keep people from finding the real solutions to their acne. When you can mask away those pimples why would you look for anything else? Especially if the real solutions would require you to change your diet and, god forbid, exercise. What a horrible thing!

So people merrily poison their faces with these chemicals for years. Until their body gets into such a bad shape that those creams and pills stop working. That could be 10 years worth of unhealthy living and abusing your body.

Take a moment and think back.

How much easier it would have been to cure your acne with real solutions when you got it the first place? You would probably have 10 or more years less damage to reverse.

All those years you could have lived a healthy and happy life. With much more gusto and confidence to enjoy life. Being healthy also makes you more optimistic and productive. When you get more done you get further in life.

So all those quick-fixes bear quite a heavy cost - when you count everything.

Anyway, remember to be grateful for your acne.

Once you’ve fixed your life and look back you’ll notice it’s probably one of the best things that happened to you. It may not seem like that now, but it will be.

It certainly was that for me. Without acne I would have never fixed my health. I would still be sitting in some (%#)%*#) office writing useless reports to people who are too stupid to figure things out themselves (I used to be a consultant : )).

Now I live in a tropical paradise, learning to be a scuba diving instructor and loving every bit of the work I do (to spread this message to people).

So not too bad for few pimples.

Here’s something interesting for a change.

It’ a wacky new product called Acne Pen. Don’t expect this to be a permanent solution, but I can see some uses for this.

I can explain Acne Pen better when we take a look at it.

(image copyright by Rebuilder Medical Teachnologies Inc.)

You use Acne Pen by putting the metal ball tip on your pimple. Acne Pen then ’sprays’ the pimple with microscopic silver particles.

Silver is strongly antimicrobial. So it kills the bacteria and that should take care of the pimple. In alternative health field silver has been used for long for it’s antimicrobial properties.

So in theory Acne Pen seems to work nicely.

Of course Acne Pen only deals with the most superficial symptoms that lead to acne. It does nothing to the root cause of acne. So don’t expect it to cure your acne.

Still, it can be a good ‘emergency’ treatment. When you see a new pimple coming up just ‘zap’ it with Acne Pen and it should be gone in a day or two.

Acne Pen works with the same idea as Zeno Zit Zapper. Where Zeno uses heat Acne Pen uses silver.

Acne Pen will set you back $117 (at the time of writing). I think that’s a reasonable price for an emergency treatment option. Assuming that it works like it’s advertised.
