Helps brings zits to a head so they go away faster

The Zit Zapper is nice, small and easy to pop into my handbag so I can zap zits during the day.The packaging looks classy for its cheap price with a pretty silver font on the cylinder. However, I dislike that the zit zapper is applied via a rollerball as this is very unhygienic and could spread bacteria from zits onto other parts of my face. The zit zapper smells quite strong, a bit like toner and it is difficult to get the rollerball to apply the product to the zit, it takes quite a few tries which can be very frustrating. However, I have used this when I have had large nasty zits pop up and this has helped to bring them to a head much quicker so they can be popped and done with. The reason why I have given this a rating of 2/5 for doing what it said it would is because it did not reduce the redness of my acne, reduce swelling, minimize my pores or make my skin any clearer, it merely helped to speed up the process of getting rid of large cyst like zits. I would use this again though as it is inexpensive and has helped me to deal with large zits. It can be difficult to tell sometimes though if the zit just healed itself or if the product made the difference.

Tips: Only bother applying to large zits, it doesn't seem to do anything for smaller zits or problem areas such as the T-zone.

Think it will be a staple

I purchased off iherb during an elf haul, $3 American is such a good deal for acne products which are always so costly.

I was disappointed at first as it didnt seem to make a difference to my zits but i had some crop up that were more blocked pores under the skin and wow it brought them to a head and the quickly went.

I guess for me not so effective on angry red pimples.

Tips: Keep on dresser and apply rather than picking or squeezing.

Don't expect a gentle ride to clear skin

There's nothing gentle about this product. Of course it works very well, but you'll feel where you put it.

I have acne prone skin, so can break out in patches on any part of my face. Applying this to a larger area is very tightening and drying. Of course this can be exactly what a big pimple needs, so stick to spot treatment, don't use on non-blemished areas of your face. It causes dryness and slight redness.

Another friend who's used this couldn't tolerate it at all. Her skin went blotchy and red and she said it burned an hour after applying it.

This does all it says it will, but don't expect a gentle ride to clear skin. Note: I don't have even vaguely sensitive skin. Oily and resilient all the way.

Tips: Stick to specific spot treatment, don't use on "normal" skin! Ouch!

helping speed up the process

I found the zit zapper to be quite good, applying it 3 times daily to specific areas I found that it sped up the process of the pimple forming, meaning that I could pop it and it would be done with without any scarring. If you have very sensitive skin I can imagine that it could be quite painful as it does have quite a strong 'zap' to it once first applied.

Love!

The e.l.f Zit Zapper is so good for speeding up the healing process of blemishes and bringing pimples to head. I found that it dries out the blemish and reduces swelling. This product comes with a roller ball which makes it difficult not to apply to the surrounding skin. It comes out clear and runny which I prefer to some other thicker pimple creams. Really like this product,I find it to be very effective and cheap!

Tips: Don't apply to non-blemished skin or it will dry it out majorly

10/10 literally would recommend.

I'm not going to lie, I really do have perfect skin. I hardly ever get any pimples (yeah, my highschool days were a breeze) but when I do, I use this godly-stick and any blemish goes away. I think the best thing about this is that it's so affordable and the applicator allows you to hit exactly where you need to.

It will definitely work well for someone who only has a few pimples here and there every now and then.

Tips: Be prepared for the stinging which is 100% worth it. That's how you know it works :D

Wow it actually works!

I had heard amazing things about this so I bought one off iherb to try sort out my annoying acne. I have bumps and small pimples, nothing major but still I'd love to have clear skin. I've been using this for over a week before bed now and it actually helps get rid of the bumps! I'd roll it on at night and when I wake up the bumps would either be noticeably smaller or completely gone. The actual liquid itself feels just like water and is very thin. After I apply it I don't feel that gross thick clogging you get with some pimple products. The only thing that I don't like is bad enough in my opinion for a five star product to drop to four stars. It's a rollerball. I'm applying this to my face and especially acne ridden areas so a rollerball isn't the best applicator. I can just imagine all the bacteria being picked up by the ball and rolled back into the product to fester and multiply *shudders*. There's no way to really clean this since as far as I'm aware it's not removable. I've taken care to really clean my face before using this but I wish this was a brush or a squeezy bottle. That was my only negative against this. Super impressed with something so cheap though I'll definitely have to buy again when it runs out!

Zit Zapper?

I got this from iHerb because I was having a bout of pimples and I wanted something quick and easy I could throw on them to silence them. It arrived fairly quickly and I immediately opened it and gave it a whirl.

The dispenser ball is quite annoying and I don't always get a lot of product from it. You're supposed to roll it on the area, but as I didn't want to put germs on that and give myself more pimples at a later date, I applied it to my finger instead. You can see how little actually comes out when you use it on your finger, too.

The liquid is clear, smells medical and I honestly don't see it making a huge difference. I've applied it onto angry looking lumps and pimples, and everything in between. I applied it a few times a day too, to get an added effect but nothing happened. I have products that work a lot better, so I don't think I'd repurchase this in a hurry.

Worth it

This product is amazing! I bought it for only $1. It has salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and witch hazel, which are all great ingredients to treating pimples. I apply it during the morning and night, and noticed really good improvement. You have to apply generously for it to work well, and the packaging is convenient and durable. It comes in a roller-ball form so you can just roll it on. I say for its price, this product it definitely worth it. :)
