Excellent zit zapper

I bought this a couple of weeks ago from my local Kmart, and since using it whenever I have breakouts, I have noticed a big difference. Firstly, the size is great- not too big, not too small. I really like the roller ball applicator, as you just roll it on to your problem areas without the need for Q-Tips. The smell is quite strong, and at first you might find it a bit overpowering, but you get use to it after a few uses. Now to the main part.. how well does it really work? Well I have used quite a few pimple 'zappers' over the years, as my skin has always been quite problematic. And I found this to be the best I have ever used. I apply it twice a day, usually once early afternoon when I get home, and another application when I go to bed. The packaging recommends 3x daily, but I think its about personal preference. Since using this product, I have noticed my pimples go away almost instantly, because of all of the fantastic pimple fighting 'chemicals' in the product. I find it too drying to use it too often, so only use it when needed. Overall, a truly great product- good size, affordable, and does exactly what it says!

good not great

now i admit i dont get many pimples, but when i do i feel like only a paper bag can hide the monstrosity. now i didnt actually believe this would work but i thought for the price why not .

pros: easy to apply , cheap , does seem to work ( although not instantly , i did see improvement)

cons: i cant really think of any, for the price , why not

Handy, cheap and effective

For $2 off iHerb I thought "why not?". This is super handy to have around the house, whenever I get a pimple starting to pop up I use this and it definitely reduces the size of the pimple and drys it out.

There is a decent amount of product in the tube, I can see it lasting me a while. Well worth $2 anyway. To apply the liquid there is a roller ball on the end which makes it very easy, although when you open it for the first time it's a bit difficult to start the ball rolling.

I would definitely buy this again, great value for money and good at killing pimples.

'okay'

first of all I have to say how cheap this was, only $2 of iherb wow!! I thought elf stuff were cheap and bad quality but they are cheap and good quality. Lower price dosen't necessarily mean the the quality is lower. The thing that caught my eye for this product was that it contained Salicylic Acid, which is apparently very good of getting rid of pimples, zits etc. I put this on before I go to bed on any pimples that are red, and then next day the redness has definetly gone down, but for me it dosen't get rid of the pimple. The smell isnt great but it is on a rollwerball so the smell isn't overpowering

Tips: dont be fooled by the price

Zit Zapper!

I absolutely love this product! I admit, I am one for 'popping' my pimples :/ but this product is brilliant at drying them up and taking them away in just a couple of days!

For the price of it ($2 off iherb) it is an essential to grab! It has quite a lot of product in the tube, which is easy to see when you are running low because it has a clear tube! the tube its self is sleek and thin which makes it an easy product to take in your handbag or any make up bag. it has an easy roller ball applicator, the applys the product straight on the area of worry.

The formula is a little bit thick and dries into the skin within 2 - 5 minutes. Although it does have quite a strong chemical sent that may be a little off putting.

Apart from that i love this product! It reduces my zits in a few days and is an essential skin care item :)

Tips: Make sure you apply this to the skin after you have cleansed! And make sure you leave it to dry on the skin before moisturising and applying any forms of make up :)

Cleaner skin

Despite my teenage years being well behind me, I do still suffer from the odd pimple or blemish so I'm always on the lookout for an effective solution.

One of the first things that caught my eye with this product was the price. I have to admit that I didn't expect much from a product that cost less than $5, but I thought it was worth a try. And I'm glad I did. While not the most effective product I've ever used, this certainly did reduce swelling and lessen the red colour of the blemish without drying out my skin too much.

The packaging was another point that sold me on this product. I liked the subtle, stylish white frosted bottle which looks a lot better in my handbag than a traditional tube of pimple cream! The small clear ball bearing applicator also makes it very easy to apply, without the risk of using too much or wasting any.

Being a clear liquid/gel, it also absorbs into your skin nice and easily, as opposed to many creams that sit in a large blob on top. The smell is also not too unpleasant or strong and dissipates quickly.

Well worth a try.

Tips: As long as you let it dry, this product will sit nicely below make up and you can even reapply during the day without it being too obvious on your skin.

Hard to tell

I have quite bad acne on my face and thought i might give this a go, but i couldn't really see that much of a result ! i think this product may be more suited for people with clear skin who get the odd blemish but for those who have a higher degree of acne i feel that something stronger is definitely needed !

Tips: I applied before i went to bed and also in the mornings after i had moisturised under my makeup !

Not sure if it works

I had high hopes for this product after I was recommended by a friend. The only good point for me was the price, at least I didn't waste a lot of money. It didn't really do anything for my spots that I could tell, though the product smelt promising a slightly pharmacy smell I saw no change in my spots. The reddish remained the spot didn't seem to go down any faster than if I put nothing on it.

Maybe I just have stubborn spots i'm not sure. The product is cheap specially if you get it from Iherb and the amount you receive is good. But not sure I will replace.

zit zapper

I brought this to try treat my break outs. But felt it hasn't worked as well as i had hoped. It has work on minimizing the size but it doesn't full treat the zit. I felt the roller design a bit hard to use. I found it hard to get out the producy and it was unsanitary and spreads the bacteria.

Tips: Take the roller and apply using a clean finger works alot better.

Immediate results

I feel like I have been searching for this since the dawn of time. I've tried many topical pimple treatments in my time and never really found one that warranted repeated purchases - until now.

This product has changed the appearance of my skin in a matter of days. I have been very stressed lately and my complexion is showing the signs of this, so there's a lot of pimples cropping up. I applied this during the day and before bed, then woke up with a whole new face (or so it would seem!). There is such a wonderful, visible difference. Pimples are smaller, less irritated, and no longer red or angry looking. On top of that, the few pores I could see where on their way to becoming pimples are now back to normal!

This product is also very easy to apply, it smells nice and does not sting when applied. It dries matte and is invisible, which is rare for these types of products. I highly recommend this zit zapper!
