A gentle, unclogging exfoliant that works its magic right inside the pore, salicylic is a zit's most notorious enemy. This dermatologist-loved chemical exfoliant also paves the way for a truer application to ensure the patch sticks flush to your face and stays there.
The exfoliator
Niacinamide
Niacinamide works with the natural substances in your skin to shrink the appearance of redness, and improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. Your skin's calm, logical, level-headed friend, niacinamide can also help to repair signs of damage.
The calmer
Oligopeptide-76
OG-76 silences an upcoming zit's appearance before it gets real, working to disrupt the progression of it taking shape. Something else Oligopeptide-76 does is take on the firming, tightening responsibilities that all peptides do. So while it’s working as a convincing germ-hater, it’s also setting up your skin for improved texture and bounce.
The silencer
Hyaluronic acid
A moisture-magnet and conduit for the other synergistic ingredients, hyaluronic acid ensures your skin doesn't reach desert-dry levels given KILLA's other ingredients can be drying. HA is a humectant, which makes it capable of drawing moisture from its surroundings and thus, a super excellent hydrator.

A self-dissolving microdart patch for the early-stage zit
KILLA is a zit patch powered by ZitSticka’s signature microdart technology. These tiny microdarts self-dissolve to flood the epicenter of your early-stage zit with targeted ingredients, clearing the upcoming drama before it gets real.
Each kit also contains ingredient soaked CLEANA swabs - the perfect-hype man for KILLA, priming the area prior to application. Elsewhere, CLEANA—soaked in exfoliating, de-stressing ingredients—can be used independently to placate a superficial zit's appearance.
1. Swipe target area with CLEANA swab
2. Once dry, apply KILLA patch onto zit.
3. Leave on for 2+ hrs for microdarts to dissolve (for best results, leave on overnight).
81% of users found their zit reached a head within 12 hours or less, where it could be easily taken care of at surface level.†

Need-to-Knows
What type of zits are they for?
The blind, unidentifiable, hard-to-reach ones that greet you first thing in the morning. The deep shiners that pulse like a bass line. The early-stage, upcoming ones that previously left you helpless. The type that creams will struggle to access.
What are ‘self-dissolving microdarts'?
Microdarts are the heroes of our products, and they dissolve within the epicenter of your zit two hours after a KILLA is applied, flooding the heart of your spot with hard-working ingredients.
How do these differ from their cheaper counterparts?
Most traditional zit patches are made from a simple hydrocolloid sticker, and can be effective on surface level zits or those that have come to an obvious head. KILLA is embedded with microdarts that release targeted ingredients into the heart of a deep, upcoming zit.
How long should I leave a KILLA on for?
No two zits are created equally, so this happens to be a rather layered answer.
KILLA’s microdarts dissolve completely by the 2 hour mark, having deposited zit-hating ingredients into your pimple. They’re enclosed in your zit now; they’re working hard. Trust in that. However, you know what else KILLA is good for? Covering and protecting the drama site from bacteria. We recommend keeping it on until it feels flatter, overnight if possible, or even longer if your zit is particularly obnoxious.
...and that flat surface on the right? A standard, hydrocolloid patch. KILLA's microdart technology targets the appearance of deep early-stage zits at the source, a hard-to-reach place that hydrocolloid patches can't access.

Totally worth it!
This is the ONLY product that actually decreases the size of my zits! Since having to wear a mask all day at work, my face has been breaking out terribly. Zitsticka to the rescue! If it's a rather large zit it won't completely get rid of it in one treatment, but it will make it considerably smaller & it will heal MUCH quicker.

Best one on the market!
While it is a bit pricey, it is currently the best patch on the market for the stubborn "blind" or red and swollen pimples. It may take a few consistent nights of patching, which can get expensive since there's only 8 in one order, but 100% worth having in the pimple emergency kit!
