e.l.f Zit Zapper Review

I initially purchased this months ago, tried it once and didn't see a result so threw it in the back of a draw never to be used again! Then I completely forgot about it until rediscovering it the other day following a massive skin break-out, and decided to give it a second chance.

The formula itself is a clear liquid with quite a strong smell which could be the camphor. Although it looks pretty unimpressive, I find the packaging is really functional and a fantastic, compact size which is perfect for taking away. The roller-ball style tube is perfect for a no-fuss application, and the clear plastic allows you to see exactly how much product is left. I applied this at night after cleansing and toning as a spot treatment to individual spots, left it to try and followed up with moisturiser.

The next morning I was amazed at the visible reduction in the size and redness of the pimples. After a couple of days they had cleared. This is a great result, especially with such an affordable price tag and I'll be repurchasing it.

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!

I struggle a lot with annoying one off pimples. The type that pop up in certain areas on my face one at a time and go bright red for days. Before purchasing this product, I had been using the old 'use perfume to dry out your pimples method' but had found that it really wasn't good for my skin. I found this in store for $5 and thought it would be worth a shot. When you first open the lid and take a whiff, the smell isn't too great, but with it containing a lot of pimple fighting chemicals you can't really help that. The product has an easy to use roll on top so you don't need to carry around q-tips to apply it. It's a nice compact size, great for shoving your bag on the go. I find that after a couple of hours I start to see my pimple sizes reducing and a lot of redness goes away.

I bought this awhile ago and really like it. Its easy to use, a handy size to put in the handbag and cheap enough to buy a couple to have on hand at all times.

It has a roller ball application which I really love, and makes it so easy to apply. Feels great, does the trick as I have noticed that pimples have reduced the next day. I only apply it at night as I don't like to put anything over the top of it.

The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the smell. Its not necessarily unpleasant but its not a smell that I would like to smell all the time, so bed time is the best time for me to use it as I'm asleep he he he.
