There was a recent article regarding ThermaClear Acne clearing device being featured on the Tyra Banks show “Best in Beauty” prize give away.  For more details regarding the Best in Beauty prize giveaway see www.tyrashow.com . When I first learned about ThermaClear I was thinking I’ve seen similar products elsewhere, what makes ThermaClear so special?

About ThermaClear…

ThermaClear is an at-home device used by people that have mild to moderate acne.  Essentially, it is for people that have the occasional outbreak and want to reduce the size of their blemish or get rid of pimples over night without the use of creams or lotions.

The device works by using heat to kill the acne bacteria and keep it from spreading.  The idea is similar to Zeno’s acne clearing device.  Both are instruments that  zap  pimples using heat. See Zeno Review on this website for additional details about how these type of devices work.

So, if the two products are similar what are the differences and is one product better than the other?

After researching the product, and reading user reviews and testimonials it appears that ThermaClear uses higher heat which can leave the skin red and slightly irritated.  This generally applies to those with sensitive skin.  Zeno, on the other hand, is more gentle to use on the skin, however, takes a lot longer to use.   One treatment using ThermaClear can last 2 seconds while Zeno can take up to 2 – 2:30 minutes for a treatment.

Overall, ThermaClear is slightly less in price, is quicker to use and there is less hassle.  However, ThermaClear can sting because of the intense heat and burn the skin if not used properly.

The bottom line is, heat therapy is not effective for everyone or all types of acne.  If you have bought Zeno and it is working for you than there probably wouldn’t be any need to buy another tool that is similar. If you are looking to try heat for the first time as an acne treatment method on your pimples than ThermaClear is similar to Zeno and lower in price. That would probably be my pick.  There are not a lot of differences between them with regards to how they treat and cure acne.

Please note that you should always consult a physician if you are taking prescriptions and want to try this form of acne treatment at home.  Also, heat treatments are less effective on  people with facial hair.

This is my top 5 list of acne cleanser products I have used and liked the best on my skin. This is not a whole acne treatment system, but just the cleanser.

Over the years I have tried many things for my skin and some of these cleansers I liked better than others because of smell and how soft it left my skin. Everyone’s skin is different and this is what has worked for me.

1. Zenmed Facial Cleansing Gel
   
2. Exposed Facial Cleanser
3. Clearpores Deep Facial wash
4. Arbonne Clear Advantage Acne Wash
5. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Foaming Wash

It’s important when looking for a great acne cleanser for your face that you look for something that combines effective medicinal ingredients such as salicylic acid with all natural ingredients like herbal ingredients that is good for your skin.

Using a well balanced cleanser is important because some cleansers can leave your face too dry which may cause it to over compensate by becoming too oily and actually making the problem worse.  Remember to keep your skin’s pH in balance by using a toner and  moisturizer that won’t clog your pores.

As you try different products for your skin you will come to realize what works best on your particular skin type and your type of acne. If you have sensitive skin you might want to stay away from products that contain benzoyl peroxide as this can cause  face irritation and excessive drying.
