  • Fast-acting microdart patches
  • Elegant, makeup-friendly sunscreen
  • Reliable, discreet patch adhesion
  • Playful, premium packaging
  • Inconsistent sticker adhesion overnight
  • Excessive plastic-heavy packaging
  • Underwhelming dark-spot patches
  • Greasy sunscreen finish for some

ZitSticka earns mixed reviews: its KILLA microdart patches and Megashade sunscreen repeatedly work—shrinking deep, early zits and wearing beautifully under makeup—while regular hydrocolloid patches and dark-spot stickers feel average. Reviews also flag inconsistent adhesion, excessive multi-layer plastic packaging, occasional product failures (Silkshake curdling), and that results vary for cystic or hormonal acne, helping some dramatically and doing little for others.

  • Cannot say more positive things about ZitSticka's products. They genuinely do wonders, likely more so than any other patch in the market (believe me, I've tried them all). The Goo Getter is a game-changer. The zit killer is incredible for anyone who struggles with cystic breakouts - the patches have single handedly saved me from getting $40 cortisone injections at the dermatologist. They have a high price point, which I struggle with, because I think the concept is quite simple. But it doesn't deter me from purchasing since it saves me from picking in the long run.

  • No other pimple patches have worked for me as well as the Killa patches do! The second I start to feel a pimple popping up, I put one of these on and can usually tell a significant improvement. They are very expensive and only a few come in the box so I can't get them all the time but I would if I could!

  • I have tried their zit stickers. They did the job and sucked out all the bacteria, but I felt like it sometimes didn’t stick as well to my skin as other brands on the market. Also, their price point for the stickers are really expensive and I feel like I’m just paying for the cool packaging.

  • I've been lucky enough to try the stickers themselves when they were newer to the scene, and then once again recently, which prompted this review. I appreciate how ZitSticka made hydrocolloid patches much more mainstream, but now it is hard to justify their cost per sticker when so many other competitors have arisen and also succeeded at lower price points.

  • ZitSticka was the brand I purchased from to try microdart patches for the first time. I have struggled with cystic and hormonal acne for years; while it has since improved a lot over the years, sometimes I will get that one cystic or hormonal breakout that is just so pesky and painful. I have tried the regular pimple patches, but I soon discovered that those work more effectively on whiteheads or pimples that are just coming up to the surface. Then I read about pimple patches with microdarts and I knew I had to try. The KILLA pimple patches have these tiny microdarts that are infused with targeted ingredients (like salicylic acid) to get rid of that deep pimple. Pro? Well they actually work! Within 2 days, the pimple patches not only reduced the size of that breakout but also minimized the pain. It didn't hurt at all; but it did feel weird because you can kind of feel the "darts" but it melts away as the day goes on. When you remove it, it ends up like your any other pimple patch. Cons? Well they're the reasons why I deducted two stars: 1) They're pricey! I understand that you don't need like a ton of patches to get rid of a pimple; like mentioned above, it took my only two days (aka two patches) to get rid of it. But, the pricing discouraged me from purchasing them again - the 4-pack is $14.00 USD, 8-pack is $25.00 USD, and the 20-pack is $57.00 USD! I first started out with the 8-pack and I finished them maybe within 6 months because my cystic / hormonal breakouts weren't as bad as before. But this one year, I had more breakouts that popped up so I decided to give in and purchase the 20-pack. Yes, they worked. Yes, that entire bag basically lasted me an entire year, but gosh my heart broke when I coughed up $57 LOL 2) The excessive packaging. Each patch is individually packaged in these plastic envelopes that really aren't needed when you think about it. Another beauty brand also sells micropoint patches, but the patches were all on one sheet so it wasn't as excessive. Then for each patch, they come with an individually wrapped "cleansing wipe" which basically contain alcohol and tea tree oil to clean, prep, and prime your skin to attach the patch. Honestly, those weren't needed; I have used other pimple patches before and I would just gently wipe the affected area with lukewarm water and pat dry with a cotton round. FINAL THOUGHTS In the end, did I end up repurchasing it? No. As much as I liked the idea of microdart patches and they did work for me, I could not justify spending that much and have that much waste. I have since switched to spot treatments and blemish-friendly gels, creams, or masks to help my skin out. It lasts me longer and some of the packaging is recyclable, biodegradable, or even reusable. I use this salicylic acid moisturizer that is just amazing! Like these microdart patches, my cystic/hormonal breakout basically went away in 2 days (or even overnight)... but that's another review ;)

  • Have only tried the pimple patches from here. Cool packaging, but very average product. Generally do the job but there are better options out there (Hero Cosmetics is the best in my opinion). Will do in a pinch and wont make anything worse on your skin (can't speak for the serums or cleansers).

  • My skin type is really dry and sensitive aka not super cystic acne prone. However I get the occasional deep pimple + white heads. I've found the Zitsticka Killa patches to have the most value for money and be the most effective with deep pimples I feel brewing under the skin, but I think other brands (Cosrx and Hero cosmetics) are more affordable for surface level pimples that I'm trying to avoid popping. Love their marketing and messaging around skin inclusivity and am super excited to see what their product roadmap looks like !

  • I've only used the ZitSticka microdart patches for budding pimples. These are perfect for those red and angry zits that you can't quite pop. I've also noticed less scarring and faster recovery time every time I use these.

    I wish there wasn't SO much packaging for each microdart. They're individually packaged and use more plastic than I think is necessary.

  • The OG zitsticka is great if you use at the right time in the pimple's lifecycle. The little prongs hurt but in a way that makes me think it is going to work.

    Sometimes the stickers do not stick enough and fall off overnight

  • I'm not a fan of ZitSticka. I will note that I have primarily hormonal face and body acne, but regardless of the type or cause, ZitSticka did nothing for me. I followed the instructions perfectly with the two products I bought, Killa™ Zit and Silkshake™, but the first did nothing more than a sticker would. The second also did not improve my acne, not even the non-hormonal stuff, and instead turned into curd after a month, with the cap breaking after three days due to the already forming curds. Had to throw it away early. Unfortunately, I see why it's so hard to find this brand in my area... The only thing that I really liked about ZitSticka was their (old) adorable webpage that touted a cute message, and the equally cute packaging. Even if the packaging of Killa™ Zit seemed a little overkill.

  • I tried the pimple patches after seeing so much hype and whilst they did something they weren't a miracle cure. However, I have tried a few cheaper dupes and the ZitSticka ones are definitely the best!

    Loads of excess packaging for such a teeny tiny product. Seems very expensive.

  • I've been using the oral probiotic supplement for about a year and I believe it's significantly reduced the amount of breakouts that I have on my whole body. I love the packaging and even the look of the pill is super cool and has a refreshing mint taste so I look forward to taking it everyday! The sunscreen is my absolute FAVORITE! I work at a medical spa and have free access to normally super expensive medical grade sunscreens and I still choose to spend my money on the zitsticka one. The texture is so amazing, feels incredible on my skin and works beautifully under makeup, no pilling and best of all no breakouts! The patches are the best. Some cheaper brands will fold over right when you pick them up, no issues with that here. I didn't notice much with the microdart patches but the regular ones are great if you need them, which I almost never do anymore. The body wash is the only thing I didn't like. I've found that my body acne gets worse when I use soap so although I may have been experiencing purging, taking the supplement and just using water to wash eliminated any acne on my chest or back!

  • I was introduced to the Zitsticka KiLLA by my esthetician. As soon as you feel the underlying indicator of a zit coming, use the KILLA and what would have been is no longer in existence! Worth every cent! I always have my KILLA stash on hand and may occasionally lovingly force one onto a future zinger to spare a family member. Amazingly they allow me to and they leave it on overnight to work!

  • Zitsticka’s Goo Getter patches and Megashade SPF are my favorite in both categories! I love a brand that keeps acne prone skin in mind <3 Managing my breakouts is so much simpler with these 2 and my skin heals a lot faster. Worth the money for me!!!

  • First, I love how fun this brand is, it makes the process of dealing with breakouts a lot easier. :-) I use Skin Discipline consistently and I do love it! Of course, it takes a few bottles to kick in, similar to prescription oral medication. I've also tried the body exfoliator which is fabulous and very peppermint, definitely recommend this for anyone.

    My one complaint is that the products can take a while to ship, which becomes an issue when I'm trying to stick to the supplement regimen.

  • I have not tried their vitamins, will update when I try those. I realize most brands that sell supplements just sell glorified grocery store aisle vitamins. The actual zitstickas are great, they help reduce the size of pimples. If you have a cystic pimple that has formed, a patch probably won’t fix that, but the killa patches have helped tame my cystic pimples if i catch them in the earl stages. The sunscreen is where it’s at. Blends in seemlessly, works under makeup. No pilling. No white tint. It will make you appear greasy, if thats something that bothers you. If your skin is dryer, you wont even notice it. The goo getters are regular hydrocolloid patches you can buy cheaper other places, and the patches for dark spots don’t do much. I genuinely love this brand, and im excited to see where they go and i hope they dont reformulate or try to cheapen their products. If you’re curious try the og patches with the points, and the sunscreen!

  • TERRIBLE!!! The customer service is as atrocious as their products, many of which have caused issues, not fixed them.

  • If I could give a negative rating I would; Don’t waste your time with these products as the positive reviews are false likely created by this business. The products are over priced! The zit killa patches do absolutely nothing unlike their reviews state (apart from deplete your bank account and possibly cover the inflamed zit). I complained about Australian express postage taking forever and was told by their USA based agent that this was normal (it’s not!).. Australia post have a set time limit for delivering express parcels after which the post is refunded if they aren’t on time. Taylor from the USA kept telling me this was normal, acceptable even. I needn’t have worried about getting the products because to be honest they are useless and a complete waste of money! Don’t waste your money (or time) go see a dermatologist, this company is a sham!! The packaging is delightful… Shame that’s the only good thing about the product!

  • I've used the Zitsticka 'Killa' patches on under-the-skin and early non-head pimples. I love them. They will pretty much take the inflammation down without me having to do anything else. I also love that they include a small alcohol patch so you can disinfect the area before applying.

    There are very few in the box, so the packaging is a bit bulky.
