One of life’s pimple pleasures, KILLA is a genius spot patch that aims to disrupt a zit before it emerges... Designed for deep, upcoming varieties in their early stages, it has 24 microdarts to allow a potent potion of ingredients to enter and work beneath the skin’s dead skin cell layer. Before you withdraw in horror—these microdarts are so tiny that they don’t hurt, although you may feel a slight (and rather satisfying, might we add) tingling sensation. Once these darts have worked their magic, there are just five ingredients that are called to action: moisture-magnet hyaluronic acid, exfoliating salicylic acid, calming niacinamide, the silencer oligopeptide-76 and pH-balancing sodium hydroxide – notice the lack of parabens, sulphates and other nasties? Three cheers for ZitSticka! Alongside eight KILLA patches, the kit contains eight CLEANA ingredient-soaked swabs which prime your skin so the patch will easily adhere. Once applied, leave these bad boys to do their business without fear of slipping (they’re water-resistant) or drawing attention to the problem (they’re semi-sheer, clear and very discreet). Each cube (from the plastic insert to the recycled cardboard lid and base) is recyclable; unfortunately, the pouches of the swabs and patches are not, as they’re made with a form of silver foil to maintain their efficacy.
