After tons of experimenting, mixing and re-mixing we have finally come up with our new “Zit Zapper” Blemish Stick! Packaged in a glass roll on bottle, this formula will help dry up acne quickly and will reduce inflammation on existing blemishes! Here are our tester’s comments!
Did the Zit Zapper dry out your skin in the areas where applied?
Only on the first day of using it, after that, it was fine, but I do use a moisturizer as well out of habit.
It did dry out the area but I tried to just use as a spot treatment because of experience with other acne treatment sticks. I believe it will be useful with large inflammations.
Not at all
Somewhat but not bad! But I like that because it helps dry up rid of the zit!
A couple of times I noticed the skin peeled where I had been applying it a couple times a day to a bigger zit. But it just flaked off and was fine.
Did you have any adverse reactions to the Zit Zapper?No
No negative reaction or allergic reaction just a little dryness in the spot applied.
The first time I used it I had a bit of stinging but I haven’t since.
Not at all
None whatsoever. It’s great!
Other than a little dry a couple times, no.
Did the Zit Zapper bring your flare up to a head faster?
It seemed to work about the same as my 2% salicylic acid gel that I use, which was very impressive, but it worked very quickly when I paired these together.
I was very pleased!
It actually reduced the flare up but when used it was on a very small blemish.
Yes
I don’t think so, but it calmed it down and dried it up and it was gone pretty quickly…quicker than if I had not done anything with it.
It did not seem to, no. As a matter of fact, it seemed as if the zit I developed never came to the surface at all.
While using the Zit Zapper, I noticed that one blemish quickly came to a head and then subsided.
It seemed to, yes. Pimples that would normally take days to come to a head seemed would be gone after only a day or two.
Did any acne flare ups diminish faster once applying it?
It seemed to work about the same as my 2% salicylic acid gel that I use, which was very impressive, but it worked very quickly when I paired these together. I was very pleased I used it as a spot treatment by itself for a few days, and then I paired them for a few days to see the difference.
Yes the small blemish was reduced in size. I have yet to have a large flare up.
Yes!
It seemed to take almost as long as a normal zit to go away… about a week or so. It didn’t have miraculous results for me by any means. But one thing I did notice is that because the zit healed beneath the surface and never came to a head and bulged the skin at the surface, I didn’t end up with any hyper pigmentation after the zit had healed – which is a pretty nice bonus! My skin generally develops some kind of hyper pigmentation-type scarring after a large zit (as this one was) goes away because of the stretching of my darker skin. I’m glad I don’t have a mark after this zit!
I applied the Zit Zapper to an area of my chin that was threatening to break out and luckily, my skin did not break out. Also, my blemishes are always associated with redness and inflammation. Most of the time the inflammation is worse than the actual blemish. I noticed that the Zit Zapper really cooled the inflammation and reduced the redness. For me, this is probably the most helpful aspect of the Zit Zapper.
I had one deep hard zit on the edge of the bottom of my nose. Zit Zapper dried it up quickly (3 days max)
Did you notice any shrinking of pores after using the Zit Zapper?
I began using this on my areas that I do get blackheads, which is mainly my nose and cheeks, and it seemed to keep my pores really clean after exfoliating.
Yes there is a tightening feeling to the skin but you have to be careful to only apply to the problem area otherwise it might dry out the skin. I’m not sure it the pores shrunk in size.
Yes, on my cheek area
My pores are definitely less inflamed.
I haven’t really had a flare-up since using it yet.
Did the Zit Zapper help with sloughing dead skin cells faster and regenerate softer smoother skin?
Yes, my skin tone looks more even.
I liked that the zit zapper helped dry out the blemish I had then it was easy to use a scrub cleanser to help slough off the dry skin.
Yes and in combination with the facial setting spritz it made my skin soft.
That could possibly be why I didn’t end up with a hyper pigmentation mark after my zit healed.
I believe so!
What is your overall opinion of the new Zit Zapper Stick?
I really like the formula. My skin is oily enough that it works as a good toner-like product as well as a spot treatment. I’ve also noticed my skin hasn’t been as oily as usual, which further reduces the problem areas.
I am glad to have tried it. I feel it will be beneficial when I do get those large inflamed blemishes and will help with a quicker recovery. I also like that there isn’t a strong chemical smell or feel to the stick its easily applied and has a clean tea tree oil smell to it.
Nice product. It is nice to know that there is a natural alternative for my sensitive skin.
I loved it because it worked very well, was easy to use, and didn’t show when used over makeup. Smell took some getting used to but I am sure that can’t be helped.
I didn’t think it was a big deal at first, in fact, I’d wished it was a little stronger so that results would be quicker – but after my husband pointed out that the big zit I got didn’t leave a mark like they usually do, THAT’S when I became impressed! I don’t mind that I get zits, but I do mind that sometimes for a month or two afterwards I’m still seeing the “scar” leftover from the breakout, so my skin never seems flawless or nice. It’s disheartening. So if this thing can help keep me from getting those marks, when the breakout is gone I’ll feel much more confident. That is MAJOR!
It works great and smells good too! Thanks!
This is a wonderful product! As I mentioned, my skin is incredibly sensitive. To have a product that is gentle, natural and effective is amazing. I plan to apply the Zit Zapper to my trouble spots on a daily basis to keep them under control. One thing I did notice about the product is that you really have to turn the tube upside-down to get the product out. My neck is flexible so I am able to tilt my head and apply. But if I had a stiff neck, I’d have trouble applying the Zit Zapper.
I LOVE IT!! GREAT JOB!!!
Personally, I love it. I like the fact you can direct the liquid to the exact spot with the applicator tip.
Works very well for me; I’d buy it again. I like to keep my face-care routine as simple as possible, so this is great. A quick application when needed and I’m done, and it seems to work well and quickly without drying out my skin too badly.
