ELF Zit Zapper Review
Hello dearies,
How are you all doing? Ever since I entered my teenage years I had started facing the worst nightmares of acne and that time was terrible but soon since my teenage years went away the acne problem went away. But still I always have that bad time when the pimples start popping up anytime they want. For that I always keep on trying some instant treatments for ugly pimples. I got this one so let’s see how it worked for me.
Price: $1.49

Directions:
Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
My experience with ELF zit zapper
ELF zit zapper is one of the treatments that I carry in handy with me for the pimples that burst up any time. It comes in a cylindrical pen shape which is transparent and looks very decent. The packaging is nothing fancy it is kept very simple showing it as a medication. The size is a little more than the finger size and easy to carry too. It has a roller ball over the top which you can easily roll on the affected area but the only problem is that after every swipe on the pimples it has to be wiped so that you do not transfer bacteria. The fragrance is very strong and smells like some medication which is made up of tea tree and it reminds me actually of my childhood when my stomach use to pain and mom used to give me a drink called “Jeevan-mixture”. However after applying it the smell goes away. The consistency is very watery but a little dab on the pimple helps it to be applied correctly. The moment I apply it i get a very soothing and cooling sensation which may control any burning on the pimple. It gets absorbed on its own in a minute’s time. I applied it and in just one time I could see no change but i have started applying it 3 times a day only on the acne. Over the time I have noticed that the pimple size gets reduced the next morning when you get up and the redness actually goes away in a day or two which makes it easily for concealing the blemishes. It heals the blemishes and fades them away but that takes a lot of time and I think our face creams would work better for the blemishes. It also helps to dry up the puss pimples and they form a dried out covering on the skin and shed out themselves soon. Since it contains salicylic acid and 3 times application per day made that area a bit dry and at times a little red too but my night cream solves all these dryness and redness problem in a night so it was fine for me. Although it did not show up very instant reactions, it gave me results in like 4-5 days which was fine for me and I was happy that it atleast worked for me. For people who face acne issues like me this is a life saver trust me and you will see all the results yourself and for just a dollar, why not?

Will I repurchase/ recommend the ELF zit zapper?
Yes I will not mind getting it again because it worked fine for me and comes at a very low price. I will recommend it to people who get pop ups like me anytime and this will help but only if applied continuously and will help reduce the size and redness for sure. It may react differently for every skin type but looking at the price it has to be surely given a try!
