no!no! Skin Review: This Painless Little Device Zapped My Acne

After including no!no! Skin in my Gizmodo gift guide for obsessive groomers last year, the fine folks at no! no! sent me a test unit of their zit zapper. Even though the device is “FDA cleared”, I was sceptical it would work on my face (yes I stil break out at my age, why god why?). I somehow figured I had extra gross stubborn acne that would refuse to yield to its scientific wiles.

Radishes May Prove To Be Acne’s Worst Nightmare

Confession: I positively hate acne. While my face only bears the most subtle of scars, in my mind the red pimply warzone that covered it back in high school is still fresh, clear and just begging to be popped.

Senslux SLD Desklamps Try to See Off Your Winter Blues, Acne

Senslux’s new SLD range of desk lamps will light your stuff with LEDs for low power-consumption eco-friendliness, and come in three types. The SG-1500 model appears to be just a plain ol’ desk lamp, but the SF is apparently a “full spectrum” lamp, presumably to give more natural light to combat the dim winter sun. The last, SA model, claims to be a light therapy for acne. Brilliant. Available in Korea for around US$150, not sure if or when they’ll make it over here. [Aving]

Cure Acne With a Crappy MP3 Player or a Shower, Your Choice

I’m all for gadgets doing more than one thing — cameraphones are great and all — but this pimple-curing MP3 player is kind of ridiculous. It looks like a pretty generic/terrible MP3 player on its own, what with its horrible 128MB of onboard memory, but while you listen to those 10-20 songs it can store over and over again, you can hold it up to your face to help cure your acne. Or not, as I doubt that it works, but I’m no dermatologist. [Product Page via Random Good Stuff]
