KILLA KIT

Deep diving microdart patch

KILLA was the first product I ever tried from ZitSticka, and I feel these patches have truly revolutionized the market. I have found so many copycats coming out, but I haven’t been able to find something that truly compares. These tiny microdarts penetrate into a zit and help dissolve it on the spot — they are some of the fastest working patches that I know of. They come in two steps so they are super sanitary and sterile, and are great for traveling on-the-go. These are some of the only products that I can rely on for results within a matter of days or hours. They help to reduce the size, the redness and the severity. Not to mention that patching the pimple means I’m less tempted to pick it!

MEGASHADE

Breakout-proof SPF 50 serum

When I was growing up, there was no sunscreen that was acne prone skin safe. They would all feel super greasy on skin, make me break out, or burn my pimples. I’m sad that this didn’t launch years earlier, but when it did I had to try it — it was worth the wait. It’s a serum sunscreen so it is super summery on the skin, and I can use a beauty blender to reapply it over my make up. It’s an SPF 50 to keep me and my pimples protected so that they don’t turn into dark brown or red marks.

PRESS REFRESH

Soothing sheet mask

One of my favorite facemasks of all time. This is a hydrogel mask that grips on to your skin. Because it comes in two pieces, it fits any face shape and it doesn’t slide off of my face while I am doing other things (like editing YouTube videos or walking the chickens) the way that traditional sheet masks do. It also has a cocktail of derm-backed ingredients!

Salicylic acid is oil soluble and wonderful for acne prone skin. This mask also has lactic and glycolic acids, which hold onto water and also help to exfoliate and refresh. The niacinamide in this face mask helps to prevent pigmentation and regulate oil control. Together it is exfoliating and rejuvenating, and there’s always so much extra serum left over in the bottom of the packet that I can use it on my chest and back.

SILKSHAKE

Probiotic cleanser for breakout-prone bodies

The SILKSHAKE is one of my body’s besties, and my acne’s arch nemesis. Most body acne cleansers that I’ve used are extraordinarily drying or stripping. Yes, they can annihilate a breakout but they also cause dryness and peeling on my back, or make me sensitive to the sun.

SILKSHAKE really is like a milkshake for your body. It has omega fatty acids and probiotics to nourish and help repair the skin barrier instead of damaging it. It is super smooth, creamy, and helps to reduce breakouts without being overly aggressive. It is gentle enough for me to use every day, and it doesn’t make me overly sensitive to the sun if I happen to go out and about in a backless dress.
