ZitSticka Press Refresh Sheet Mask + Hyperfade Dark Spot Patches First Impressions Review
I just received a few products from ZitSticka— a brand I've been wanting to try for a few years now since hearing about their microdart patches for acne (and now dark spots!). I don't struggle with acne nearly as much as I used to growing up, so I picked out their PRESS REFRESH Exfoliating Hydrogel Mask & HYPERFADE Dark Spot Patches to try out.
PRESS REFRESH is a hydrogel exfoliating sheet mask that features chemical exfoliating acids (salicylic, glycolic, and lactic) and graphene technology that syncs with your body heat, increasing your skin's ability to absorb ingredients.
I love chemical exfoliants, so having that in a sheet mask is a really fun weekly treatment mask. Hydrogel masks have been my holy grail for years, since they feel like a second skin and stick to your face so well. The two piece mask is easy to apply, doesn't burn (it actually feels cooling!), and makes for the perfect #maskie.
I have fairly reactive skin, especially when using chemical exfoliants, and this mask left my skin bright (no redness!) and baby soft. This set includes 5 masks for $36— a bit pricier, but the effects are immediate. I think this might be my current favorite sheet mask!
HYPERFADE is a self-dissolving microdart patch that targets dark spots from post-zit damage. I thought these would be more up my alley since I don't have a ton of active breakouts anymore. I only tried these once, so I'll give my first impressions.
This was my first microdart patch experience, surprisingly enough, and I really liked it! The patch is larger & stays on very well. I forgot I had it on! The microdarts dissolve after ~2 hours, and release brightening ingredients including hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin c, and arbutin. These are $34 for a pack of 12 patches. I really do think I noticed a change with just one use on an older dark spot, but since I haven't broken out since receiving these I can't speak on how they work for a new post-zit dark spot. I'll keep you posted!
