ZitSticka Killa Pimple Patches for Face - World's Most Potent Pimple Patch with Fast-Acting Microdarts - Starts Working within 6 Hours for Deep, Early-Stage Zits - Regular 8 Count with Cleana Swab

I was SUPER skeptical about these because, let's be honest, anything promising to clear up pimples seems like a scam. But I finally decided to just give these a try. To be clear- I don't have bad acne and don't get horrible breakouts. I only get a few pimples a month (usually due to stress or hormones). But those few pimples are usually the kind that get big quick and stick around for a few days. So it was worth it to me to try something that might shorten their life! The first pimple I tried it on was on my chin (I get this one every month and it's always a pain to get rid of). I think I waited a day too long to give the patches a try and the zit was getting deep and red! I put a patch on and the next morning, it seemed to calm down a bit but not as much as I was hoping. So I did it again the next night with the same result the next morning. I finally decided this pimple was a lost cause and let nature take its course. I will say that this pimple didn't stick around for as long as it usually does and didn't become as big a problem as usual. The other day I woke up and noticed a pimple forming on my forehead, but I was heading to work and couldn't do much about it and just prayed it'd lay low until I got home that evening. When I got home, I immediately applied a patch because I could see the spot getting redder and bigger. SEVEN HOURS LATER, I decided to remove the patch before bed just to see if it worked because I could under the patch that the swelling had gone done considerably. When I removed the patch, I was shocked! It was all gone. The next morning I was worried it would return- but nothing!! It was like nothing had ever been there. So I think that's the trick for me- as soon as I see a bad pimple coming up, I need to apply a patch asap. These little guys really work and I recommend them- whether you want to get rid of a pimple instantly or shorten its time on your face. These are worth it and I'm impressed! I will definitely order more and keep these handy when I travel!

OK, I know these are ridiculously expensive, but when you are battling CYSTIC acne, you're willing to try anything (and I have!). I like the Hero ones (the red ones), but the Hero Salicylic acid dots do NOT work as well as these Zit Stika Killer ones. These are the bomb to your cystic pimple. Definitely worth a try. Follow the instructions exactly!

Overview:I get one giant cystic pimple every year/couple of years, and usually I would try to pop it for several weeks, but then realize it's destroying my skin, and eventually go to the dermatologist for a cortisone shot if I needed to go anywhere. A cortisone shot is around $40 where I live, but the hassle of making an appointment/going to the doctor's office was very off-putting for me. Sometimes I cannot get an appointment for several weeks, which renders the shot useless at that point. I decided to try this because the advertising seemed promising, and the technology seems unique. I had hopes that my pimple (already been developing for 2 weeks) would come to a head at the surface after 1-2 uses--which is what the advertising sort of suggests. Unfortunately, my pimple never came to a head, but the swelling reduced significantly after 3 uses. After the 4th use, it's become pretty flat and manageable, and I'm really glad I didn't pop the pimple. So overall, within a week, my giant nodule has become just a tiny blemish.However:That would all be fine except, this box costs almost the same price as a cortisone shot, which delivers immediate and much more effective results. My pimple, after using 5 sets of these stickers (cleanser+sticker) is still there and has not come to a head even though it is much smaller and ignorable. One box only contains 8 stickers, so basically this whole box, and a week of time was dedicated to fighting this one pimple. If given the choice between a cortisone shot and this sticker, I would 100% pick the cortisone shot.Final thoughts:Even though the stickers have their drawbacks, I believe these are the ONLY stickers on the market that actually work for the types of pimples I would put a sticker on for. If you're the type of person who struggles with constant cystic acne...this is probably not the best option for you, but for those who just once in a while gets a horrible cystic blind pimple and needs it to go away, this is the ONLY sticker that I've tried that actually works. None of the other surface stickers do anything to address these blind pimples. Additionally, the Company;'s advertising suggests that the most effective time to use these stickers is in the early stages of the pimple's development. I used this product kind of late in the timeline. I plan to buy another box to keep on hand and to slap on at the first moment of my next blind pimple. I believe then the sticker would achieve its full potential. Overall, happy with the product, would buy again, but definitely not as effective as a cortisone shot which costs around the same price.

I'm a big fan of the brand. I like the "micro needle" thingy it has. I started using the ones for dark spots and I once used it in a early stage pimple and it worked so good that I decided I needed to try the regular ones and it was not a disappointment. I've tried several brand and I can say for sure this is the one that works the fastest and better.

I didn’t notice any positive or negative effects from this product. It didn’t help my acne, but it did cover it well—these are very seamless. Overall, not at all worth the price.

These are not effective on deep cystic acne, they are not a replacement for getting a steroid injection at the dermatologist. However, I had a pimple that lingered around even after the steroid shot and this finished it off. It has to be a pimple close to the surface so that the darts can jab into it and hit it with OG-76 (antimicrobial + skin soothing), salicylic acid, and niacinamide.
