Comparison: Zeno and Claro Acne Treatment Devices
Zeno v. Claro Acne Treatment Devices, a Comparison
Comparing the Zeno and Claro Acne Treatment Devices: Treating Acne can be incredibly frustrating, especially if you are like me and have adult acne. I am in my 40s and still breaking out. Fortunately, there are a couple of good treatment devices on the market that work rather well on standard pimples, and also have some effect on cystic acne, even through they are not marketed for use on that type of problem. I have written about both items separately in the past, but though a comparison chart would be helpful for readers who are considering purchasing an acne treatment device, but can’t decide on which one to try.
The Zeno Acne Treatment Device (link is to previous review) uses heat to kill bacteria and dry up acne, while the Claro Acne Clearing Device (link is to previous review) uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to kill bacteria.

Acne During Pregnancy
Many pregnant women are bothered by a sudden flare-up of acne breakouts, even if the skin has been relatively clear for years. Some women find they are developing acne for the first time since becoming pregnant. While annoying, changes in the skin are common during pregnancy.
Most cases of pregnancy acne are triggered by the huge hormonal fluctuations that occur within the body. Many women report acne becoming its worst during the second trimester and gradually improving after that. For women who typically have clear skin, acne usually disappears sometime after delivery, although it may last longer if the mother is breastfeeding.
Treating Your Acne During Pregnancy Good basic skin care will help keep the skin healthy. Cleanse the face morning and night with a gentle cleanser, such as Dove or Neutrogena. Avoid toners or astringents if they seem irritating. The skin is oftentimes more sensitive during pregnancy, so any skin care products you choose should be mild. Always follow up with a light moisturizing cream, preferably fragrance free.

Treatments Treatment Options Tetracycline
TREATMENT OPTIONS | TETRACYCLINE Tetracycline Acne Treatment
If you see a dermatologist for moderate to more severe acne, you may be prescribed a combination of topical remedies and oral antibiotics. The most common oral antibiotics include tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline and erythromycin.
Like benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics control breakouts by targeting P. acnes, the bacteria that causes acne, that live on the face and in the pores. Sometimes antibiotics, either oral or topical, are combined with benzoyl peroxide to treat acne more effectively.
Acne: Causes
Causes By Mayo Clinic staff
Three factors contribute to the formation of acne:
- Overproduction of oil (sebum)
- Irregular shedding of dead skin cells resulting in irritation of the hair follicles of your skin
- Buildup of bacteria
Acne occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Each follicle is connected to sebaceous glands. These glands secrete an oily substance known as sebum to lubricate your hair and skin. Sebum normally travels up along the hair shafts and then out through the opening of the hair follicle onto the surface of your skin. When your body produces an excess amount of sebum and dead skin cells, the two can build up in the hair follicle and form together as a soft plug.
Blue Light and Clear Light Acne Treatment and Photodynamic Therapy
Blue Light Acne Treatment
For acne sufferers whose skin has become resistant to ointments and medications, or for those who simply want to eliminate the daily hassles of such acne treatment regimens, blue light acne therapy has become a popular treatment option. Blue light therapy systems, such as ClearLight and BLU-U , offer acne treatment that is gentle and non-invasive when used alone or as a part of photodynamic therapy.
What is Blue Light Acne Therapy?
The FDA has approved the use of high-intensity, narrow-band blue light to treat mild to moderate acne. This pain-free light is safe and uses no ultraviolet (UV) light or lasers. When blue light is used as a treatment for acne, it kills p. acnes, the acne-causing bacteria that can form within the sebaceous glands and cause break outs. Blue light therapy can be administered alone through several systems that are available such as ClearLight , or in combination with a topical photosensitizing solution in blue light photodynamic therapy for acne treatment.
