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.

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!

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.

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.

BEST PRODUCT I OWN!!

I bought this after reading the reviews on here and i can honestly say WOW! I havent had a bad zit since buying this beautiful product. It smells delicious, like eucalyptus. It completely takes away the redness and reduces the size of my pimples overnight. I put it on the minute i think that a pimple is coming up and it just is magic and takes it away instantly. I cant even explain how amazing this product is. I loved how i could actually put it on a pimple during the day as it dried clear and you couldn't tell i had pimple cream on. The roller ball on the end made application VERY simple, easy and quick. SUPER cheap and so worth the $5! It also lasts a very long time as you only need to use a tiny bit at a time.

ELF Zit Zapper

I purchased this product off iHerb.com

Consistency- This product has a liquidy which made it more difficult to apply directly to the target area without applying to surrounding skin also.

Application- This product had a roller ball which made application rather easy but due to the liquidy consistency it made it a little bit more difficult to apply directly to the target area without applying to surrounding skin also.

Fragrance- This product had a strong fragrance similar to other acne treatments I have tried, once dried on the skin it was unnoticeable.

Coverage- A small amount of this product goes a long way.

Usage- This product is very economical as it is super cheap to purchase and one tube will last a very long time.

Price- This product is definitely cheaper than other acne treatment products I have tried.

Packaging- The packaging of this product is great for how inexpensive the product is. The packaging is a small clear roll on.

Results- I used this product every day as a spot treatment for around three weeks, I don't feel this product did anything for my skin.

Skin type- I have very fair combination, blemish prone skin. I get an oily t zone but other areas of my face often get dry.

Repurchase- I would not repurchase this product I have tried many other products that were way more effective than this one. I don't mind spending a bit more money for quality.

Tips: Purchase off iHerb

jury still out on this one

After seeing this product on beauty review i decided to give it a go. I got it for $5 at k mart. I havent seen any major difference in my zits as yet. It doesnt smell offensive but i do have trouble getting it to come out onto the roller ball. It hasnt dried my skin out which is good but i would like it to dry my pimple & it doesnt seem to do this. I will continue to use this product to see if it works but i am wondering if i may have a faulty one.

Doesn't work for me

I've had this thing for a while around 6 months I guess, haven't reviewed it till now as I found it hard to tell if it was actually doing anything at all. I don't get pimples very often but whenever i've had the odd one pop up since i've had this i've used it, applying directly to the area several times daily.

As far as I can tell this does nothing for me, no reduction in redness or size. Even if I try to zap the zit with this as soon as it begins to appear, it will still form every time and live out it's full cycle no matter how often I keep applying this stuff. It doesn't seem to affect my skin in any way, no drying, stinging or stickiness, pleasant enough to use and has a slight menthol smell.

The roller ball applicator I don't like the idea of as it's probably going to be dragging the bacteria from the sore back into the product..gross. On that note i'm going to chuck this now, only paid $2 for it so no biggie.

Tips: I notice this product is highly rated here and there are a few like me who it didn't work for, so it's probably just one of those things where results vary quite some. You can get this for $2 @iherb.com so you might as well give it a go if your interested, as others have said it works wonders for them.

Seriously impressive!

On a whim I threw this in with my iherb order, I figured I didn't have much to lose if it didn't work for me. I was seriously impressed when I tried this out for the first time and had dramatic results within hours! Redness immediately started to go down, then the pimple itself began to dry out and majorly reduce in size, by the next day they were just minor spots, rather than the large aggravated red beasts that had donned my chin and forehead the previous day. It doesn't smell fantastic, but it doesn't smell bad, its a very strong clean sort of smell. The packaging design is great, it allows you to target exactly where you need to. I will definitely always be keeping one of these on hand for pimple emergencies!

Didn't do much for me

I've had high hopes for this, but sadly it didn't help me at all. Nothing reduced when using this: redness, size or pain of the pimples. Later I've found out that products with salicylic acid do nothing for me, no matter the percentage or the product type, so that might be the main problem. In the first days I've used this like 3-4 times daily on my pimples with no results, after a week or so I gave up and I'm left with 3/4 full of product, which will never be used. It was'nt a real waste of money as it is really inexpensive, sadly it just didn't work for me. I liked the small tube it came in, but the roller to apply it with was an interesting concept, not sure it is very hygienic and sometimes no product came out, so I've had to shake it a little and it was just annoying when I just wanted to get ready quick in the morning and also needs lots of time to dry, so consider that in the morning if you'd like to use moisturizer/makeup.

Tips: It helped lots of people, so just try it out, it might be working for you too. It's not expensive, so won't be a waste of money if it turns out the other way.:)
