The Anti-Acne Pen is the cheapest CurrentBody device at $79.99: 6 LEDs, blue and red, held on one blemish at a time for 3 minutes. CurrentBody calls it FDA cleared, and its listing cites K203271, but that clearance is for Aduro handheld models HD-03A, HD-25A and HD-07A and no source gives the pen's own model number, so it scores at the floor on verification. The stated 30 mW/cm2 has not been measured independently. The reviewers who tried it, all on brand-supplied or monetised units, report single spots calming within a few days and find it tedious across several spots; one found the vibration uncomfortable. It is a spot tool by design, and a buyer with widespread breakouts is looking at a mask. The warranty is two years.
