# Micro-Dart Acne Patches ZitSticka is a Cutting-Edge Acne Patch Infused with Vitamin B3 By Grace Mahas | Published 2019-11-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zitsticka References: [cosmopolitan](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/beauty/a26415057/killa-cystic-acne-patch-review/) & [zitsticka](https://zitsticka.com/) The ZitSticka Killa Kit recently gained notable social media attention from the online acne community for their [acne-fighting abilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revance). These acne patches are unique because of their micro-dart technology that works to penetrate deep layers of your skin to target under the surface blemishes. The micro-dart acne patches are infused with niacinamide -- otherwise known as vitamin B3 -- which works as a potent anti-inflammatory for acne. In addition to this fast-acting ingredient, the ZitStickas also boasts hyaluronic acid which “pushes in moisture to reduce irritation,” salicylic acid to break down the spot, and oligopeptide-76 to kill bacteria. The ZitSticka Killa Kit offers eight individually packaged patches and eight pre-treat wipes that are infused with tea tree oil, salicylic acid, vitamin E, and alcohol.
