See a pesky little zit popping up? Work quick by applying one of these effective treatments
ZITSTICKA KILLA (8x patches, 8x swabs), $35
Designed for deep, cystic zits, these microdarts works to dissolve the blemish at the source rather than just the skin’s surface. It tingles a bit and features five ingredients: moisture-magnet hyaluronic acid, exfoliating salicylic acid, redness-shrinking niacinamide, antimicrobial oligopeptide-76 and pH-balancing sodium hydroxide. The microdarts are free from parabens, sulphates and other nasties. Alongside eight KILLA patches, the kit contains eight CLEANA active-soaked swabs which prime your skin so the sticker will easily adhere. Once applied, leave these on and carry on with your day. Btw, the darts are water-resistant too.
KATE SOMERVILLE EradiKate Acne Treatment, $28
Hailed as the holy grail acne treatment by bloggers and celebrities, Kate Somerville’s bestselling formula is what you need the minute you spot a zit popping up. Formulated with the highest possible level of sulphur (10%), it effectively fights blemishes and reduces future ones, while salicylic acid reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and zinc oxide – a natural mineral – provides oil control by absorbing excess sebum.
