AcneApp: The latest zit treatment may be emanating from our phones. This acne app emits red and blue nanometer lights which are said to kill off acne-causing bacteria lurking on your complexion (like the grease that hits your chin every time you talk on the phone). The creator, dermatologist Greg Pearson, is not guaranteeing results (hmmm...), but when it comes to blemishes, we think light therapy for only $1.99 may be worth a try. After all, this is an era in which the quest for perfect skin compels people to drop three figures on face cream. While the Proactiv loyalists probably won't be abandoning their routines for it any time soon, it could be a useful supplementary step to prevent those unsightly travel craters that usually appear after a long flight during which your face is smooshed against a pillow of questionable cleanliness.
Thanks to Intelligence Group for this app highlight!
