If you struggle with acne, trying out a pimple patch could be a great way to help clear up breakouts before they even start. Although many topical treatments focus on speeding up the healing process for existing pimples, using a pimple patch at the first sign of a breakout can help you avoid the full breakout altogether by using microdart technology.
Specifically, Zitsticka‘s KILLA Kit is the perfect addition to your skincare routine to stop breakouts as soon as possible.
Zitsticka KILLA Kit ($29)
Key Ingredients and Benefits
-Salycic acid: gentle, unclogging chemical exfoliant ensures the patch sticks flush to your face and stays there and helps stop the breakout
-Niacinamide: shrinks the appearance of redness, improves the appearance of uneven skin tone, and repairs signs of damage
-OG-76: disrupts the pimple's progression, stopping it from taking shape
Instructions
First, clean affected area with CLEANA swab. Apply ZitSticka, and leave on for two or more hours. For the best results, leave on overnight.
Promising Reviews
"I was actually excited to be able to use this right away as I had a large cystic pimple on my arm. I used the cleaning swab and then applied the patch and waited. I was so surprised when my pimple was almost completely gone within days. I've never had one clear up that quickly and painlessly. Not only is it effective but I also really appreciate the pretty aesthetic of the packaging. It sounds so simple but it really does add some charm to a yucky subject (acne). I think the reason this worked so well was because the patch has "micro dart" technology that actually penetrates the pimple unlike other pads that just sit on top. I could actually feel this working it's "magic" each day and am going to be using these exclusively from now on." -Amazon Reviewer
"I have been dealing with acne for most of my life, and the adult hormonal acne has been by far the worst. Normally my cystic acne takes several weeks to heal. But this stuff has moved that process up to lightning speed! Less than a week, and it's GONE! It is pretty pricey, so I personally wouldn't use it on smaller zits (regular hydrocolloid bandages are great for that), but it's completely worth it for these monster volcanic zits." -Amazon Reviewer
"I have sensitive and aging skin. I can't use the products for acne anymore as it really upsets my skin. I had been looking for something to treat my occasional breakouts without harsh ingredients that would turn my skin red. The Killa Kit by ZitSticka is revolutionary for me. It makes it easy to treat the affected area only. There is a cleaning swab that is to be used first. I did my wash normally to clean my face then used the swab to treat area that needed help. Then I used the spot clarifying microdart patch. It was simple to apply and cleared my zits up overnight. Even though I have an issue with some of the ingredients in this it isn't crazy bad since I am only using it on the areas where I need it. So, my dry skin and sensitive areas aren't being bothered. Those aren't usually the areas I get the breakouts. My teenager daughter loves these too. She used one the night before her winter formal and went to her dance with a clear face. I definitely love these patches and will continue to buy them. They work quickly and are easy to use." -Amazon Reviewer
