ZitSticka Extra Strength Killa Acne Microdart Patches for Face - OTC Acne Treatment with 2% Salicylic Acid - Fast Acting Microdarts for Deep, Early-Stage Zits & Blemish - 4 Count

I was a little skeptical at first because I’ve tried so many pimple patches that just sat on my skin and didn’t do much. But these actually work — and fast. The microdarts are the real game changer. You can feel a slight tingle when you first put it on, which I personally take as a good sign that it's doing something. I use them on those painful, under-the-skin zits that you can feel brewing before they even surface. I pop one of these on at night and by morning the bump is either completely gone or significantly reduced. It doesn’t dry out my skin either, probably thanks to the hyaluronic acid. They stay on really well through the night and don’t peel off like other patches I’ve tried. The price is a little high for only 20 patches, but honestly, I don't need to use them constantly. I save them for those annoying emergencies — the big, angry pimples that show up at the worst times — and they’ve never let me down. If you deal with those deep, hormonal breakouts or stubborn early-stage pimples, these are worth trying.

This product is a miracle worker! It has consistently significantly improved or totally eliminated an early-stage cystic pimple in one night. Nothing else works for me. I'd pay twice the asking price.

It's unfortunate that these patches are so expensive because they work so well. I purchased other microdart patches and they do not work at all. The combination of the wipes and the patches are amazing. It's easy to use, the patches stay on overnight and my zits are pretty much dead by the morning. I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and these patches do not irritate my skin.

Overall, I like the product. I have a problem with hormonal and cystic acne. I'm switching birth controls and am experiencing some of the juiciest pimples I've ever had. Normally I use the CosRx pimple patches but I came across a review of this product on YouTube. Intrigued by the idea that little needles inject medication directly into the problem area, I did some research and I found so many websites claiming that this was THE pimple patch for acne like mine. I bought this zitsticka miracle patch and here I am. Swelling and Pimple Pain: the swelling decreased for most of my pimples when I took off the sticker. The size difference fell short of my expectations for the really juicy pimples and I didn't see much of a size difference after one sticker. It took 2 or 3 patches for drastic improvement on the juicy pimples. The sticker did help with how sensitive the pimple was to touch and I did notice a difference. This sticker does well for the normal pimples as far as swelling and pain is concerned and I did see improvement for normal pimples after one patch Redness and Irritation: I did not have any irritation with the stickers or the cleaning wipes that come in the package. I don't think I noticed a giant difference with redness but redness wasn't my main concern Pimple Patch Needle and Wipe Pain: the micro needles did hurt a little when I put the stickers on my very inflamed pimples but the pain was short lived. Otherwise, no pain associated with putting it on my less inflamed pimples or taking the sticker off the pimples. I found the wipes to be painless and they didn't sting my skin. Adhesion: the stickers stayed put and they didn't lift with one exception. I put another sticker on my very inflamed pimple (in the pictures) for a second day in a row and the pimple burst in the morning under the sticker and pus oozed from under the patch and down my cheek/chin. I felt very sexy in that moment. Price: they should get rid of the wipes and add more stickers to make it worth the price. I probably will not buy this product again unless they change the price or replace the wipes with more stickers. Update 12/12: Amazon notified me that a few people found my review helpful so I thought I would give a ~6 month update. One thing I forgot to mention is that this product is not a hydrocolloid patch and will not suck the juices out of your pimples if you accidentally pop one like I did when I was trying out the zitsticka patch. I had to let it drain before putting on a hydrocolloid sticker on the cystic pimple to help it drain all the way. I did not buy this product again and continue with my CosRx patches. The price detouredme from purchasing this again since the amount of pimples on my face at the time was more than the amount of stickers provided in one box. I also may be a bit biased against buying these again since my acne has calmed down tremendously after getting used to my new birth control pill (combined with topical prescrptions) and I no longer have the inflamed/cystic acne on the level I had over the summer. If it wasn't for an Amazon notification, I would have forgot about this product. I'm going to leave my initial review of 4 stars since the patches did help with swelling and inflammation but otherwise, this product was overpriced and forgettable.

I was very pleased with the patches, just expensive!

I appreciate the sterile packaging and the preparation but don’t feel the microdarts penetrate enough for deeper zits. Unfortunately I think the Hero microdart patches work better for a lower cost.

Umm these are the holy freakin grail! I’ve tried Hero patches as well as Panoxyl and these decimate angry, under the skin pimples. They do slide and don’t have the same adhesive quality. I find they’re much easier to apply and the fact they’re individually wrapped was at first questionable but there was no disappointment. I could use 5 of the previously stated brands and not see the same results from a single use of one patch from Killa. Buy them!

Was very hopeful for these as they claim to be able to ‘kill’ an emerging zit.. unfortunately the claims are not true. I used 2 patches—the recommended amount for ‘harder to kill zits.’ 1 overnight, and 1 for 5ish hours while working from home. The new blind pimple that I could feel starting to form beneath my skin is still emerging. I’m going to try using a third patch (so basically 3/4 of the box) but I don’t have high hopes anymore. Might just be good for regular zits, not blind ones. Definitely better ones out there though for a fraction of the price if that’s the case.

I’ve been using the ZitSticka KILLA Extra Strength patches for a few weeks now and they’ve honestly made a real difference in how I manage breakouts. These patches are easy to apply and actually work. Right away I noticed how firm they feel. They stick really well and don’t slide around, even when I’ve slept or worn makeup over them. The medical grade adhesive stays put and I never worry about them peeling off during the day. When I get a spot that’s angry or painful, I put a patch on overnight and by morning it’s noticeably calmer and smaller. The extra strength formula seems to get right to the core of the blemish. I’ve had stubborn pimples shrink much faster than I expected and those painful red ones are way less inflamed. I like that they’re pretty discreet too. You can barely see them on the skin, which means I can wear them during the day without feeling self conscious. Overall these feel like a higher quality version of traditional pimple patches and they actually deliver results. They’re not cheap but for the relief and faster healing I’ve gotten, they’re worth it. I’d recommend them to anyone dealing with occasional breakouts or painful spots.

I bought these hoping they would solve my problems of deep, under the surface pimples, reduce their size and stop the pain, but I found they didn't really do much. After having them on over night, they were still painful, slightly less inflamed but still as stubborn as ever. Nothing changed in my skin after using them for a few weeks which was quite disappointing. Felt as though I was paying for the packaging rather than the product tbh. There are many other better and more affordable options that I find to be more effective.

Useless Doesn’t have any effect Fall off easy

Doesn't actually get rid of the pimple, but does help to make it look flatter and less noticeable. I doubt I'd be buying this again though, since it costs so much for only 4 patches. Great for emergencies, but not cost effective to use regularly.
