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.

Tips: Apply once a couple of hours before applying make-up and once before bed after taking off your make-up :)
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 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.
Tips: Make sure after you apply you leave it to dry before applying anything else to your skin.
Omg so this morning I woke up with 5 really big, red pimples that came out of nowhere, all on one cheek. Luckily my Elf order had arrived on Monday so I got to put it to use!
I washed my face, used a toner, and applied the zip zapper on, followed by a primer and no makeup. It is 9pm now, and by goly THEY ARE GONE!! Gone I tell you. I am so amazed!
I have used 3 different spot trick zapper things and none of them have ever worked like this.
It has no smell, is clear and doesn't create a sticky film substance across the pimple and dries within seconds.
It's very small perfect for a makeup purse or on the go in your handbag. It has a nice, sleek and clear design so you can see when it is running out, and also clear on the skin.
The only thing I worry about is that it is a roller ball applicator, which is convenient yes, but germs are transferring onto the roller ball, which you later roll onto another pimple, transferring all that bacteria.
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!
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!
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.
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
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
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.
