Zapzyt Maximum Strength Acne Treatment Gel Review

Even though I am very much an adult, I do still occassionaly break out with one or two annoying pimples.  When I was at our local state fair, they were providing free samples of Zapzyt Maximum Strength Acne Treatment Gel. I figured it was something that I could use from time to time and was happy to accept it.  After trying it, I'm glad I didn't pay for it.

The Facts 

• Contains 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
• Maximum Strength Formula
• Breaks through the oil to treat acne at its source

My Experience

I had a couple of pimples when I received the sample of Zapzyt so that night after washing my face, I applied the medicated gel directly to them.  I noticed that after the gel dried, it left a white residue on my skin.  At night, that isn't a problem but according to the directions, Zapzyt should be applied twice a day. That would mean if I applied it in the morning before leaving the house, I would be walking around with white marks on my face.  Luckily when I tried this, it was the weekend and I did as directed.  I first began applying the gel on Friday night and by Monday morning, I still had the pimples.  I didn't notice they were reduced by much either.  I figured I would give it another couple of days and try to hide the white marks during the day.  By Wednesday, I gave up.  I think I gave the product sufficient time to work. 

My Final Viewpoint 

After going to the website I learned that this product seems to be geared more towards teenagers.  Possibly it is just not effective on adults.  I don't recommend Zapzyt Maximum Strength Acne Treatment Gel for adults but cannot say about teenagers.  Since this product was not effective on me, I am only giving it a 2 star rating.
