Regardless of whether you’re a man or woman, in your teens or middle-aged, acne and
problem skin affects virtually everyone. Ninety percent of all adolescents, nearly 50% of all
adult women, and 25% of all adults deal with oily skin, pimples, and blackheads—and all
the physical and psychological problems they cause.
What Is Acne?
Acne is the term for clogged skin pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples, and even
deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and
upper arms.
Acne vulgaris is the most common form of acne which includes several types of
lesions. These spots include blackheads, whiteheads, papules, and pustules. Mild to
Astringent
moderate acne vulgaris consists of:
Blackheads. Blackheads result when a pore is only partially blocked, allowing some
of the trapped sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells to slowly drain to the surface.
The black colour is not caused by dirt. Rather, it is a reaction of the skin’s own pigment,

melanin, reacting with the oxygen in the air. Blackheads tend to be stable structures, and

Pustules.
Pustules are similar to whiteheads, but are inflamed, and appear as a red circle
with a white or yellow center. Pustules are your garden variety “zit.”
While acne is not curable—it is treatable.

peeling of the top layer of skin (exfoliation) and the opening of plugged follicles—helping
re-establish your normal skin-cell replacement cycle. For milder acne, salicylic acid helps
unclog pores to resolve and prevent lesions. To be most effective, salicylic acid must be
used continuously—even after acne lesions have healed. Its beneficial effect stops when
you stop using it, your skin will return to its uneven shedding, pores will become clogged,
and acne will return.
Scientists classify salicylic acid as a beta hydroxy acid. Beta hydroxies have a larger
molecule than their cousin, alpha hydroxy acids. Because of its large molecular size,
salicylic acid stays on the skin surface—then slowly and effectively penetrates your pores
and exfoliates your skin. Beta hydroxies are less irritating than alpha hydroxies and they
have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. Clinical studies show salicylic acid can
help improve skin thickness, barrier functions, collagen production, and it can work as a
renewing agent for the treatment of acne scars.
Dermatologists prescribe salicylic acid within the range of 0.5% to 2% concentration
for best results. All Zap-it! products are made within these research-recommended
concentrations of salicylic acid.
Benzoyl peroxide, on the other hand, is a common anti-acne ingredient in
supermarket brands like Clearasil®. It’s effective, yet benzoyl peroxide works differently
than salicylic acid. Benzoyl peroxide destroys P. acnes—the bacteria that cause acne. It
acts as an antiseptic and oxidizing agent. While benzoyl peroxide kills existing P. acnes, it
does nothing to increase your body’s natural resistance to bacteria. Also, unlike salicylic
acid, benzoyl peroxide does not affect oil production or encourage exfoliation. Side effects
of benzoyl peroxide include excessive drying, mild skin irritation, dermatitis, allergic
reactions, and bleaching of clothing.
T36-C5™ Melaleuca Oil
Along with hardworking salicylic acid, each Zap-it! product is made with T36-C5 Melaleuca
Oil. As more people turn to natural remedies for common problems, they discover
Melaleuca Oil. Several laboratory tests show Melaleuca alternifolia oil is powerful enough to
destroy many types of bacteria.
Zap-it! products have the T36-C5 grade of Melaleuca Oil which is guaranteed to
contain at least 36% terpinen-4-ol (the antibacterial compound) and less than 5% cineole
(the compound that helps the oil penetrate.) T36-C5 Melaleuca Oil gives Zap-it! its soothing,
penetrating, and comforting advantage.
Clearer Skin—in 4 Easy Steps
The Zap-it! Acne Defense System consists of four products: Zap-it! Facial Wash, Zap-it! DeepCleaning Astringent, Zap-it! Pore Clarifying Cream, and the Zap-it! Quick Stick.
Step 1. Wash Away Dirt and Oil
Start your acne-fighting regimen with Zap-it! Facial Wash. Containing 0.5% salicylic
acid, this gentle cleanser removes dirt, makeup, and oil and lifts away the pore-blocking
impurities that can lead to breakouts. Wet your face with warm water and simply massage
Facial Wash over your skin and rinse completely. A soft cloth will help gently exfoliate your
skin and open up blackheads and blemishes.
Step 2. Deep Clean and Tighten Pores
Next, fight the deep down bacteria and oil that build up in pores and lead to acne with Zapit! Deep-Cleaning Astringent. With 0.5% salicylic acid, the tingly, pore-cleaning zing of Zap-it!
Deep-Cleaning Astringent fights off embarrassing blemishes and blackheads as it deep cleans
and tightens skin. Simply dampen a couple of cotton balls with the astringent and wipe
them over your just-washed skin until they no longer pick up any impurities.

Acne Myths
• Acne is for teenagers—you’ll outgrow it
• Acne is just a cosmetic condition
• Certain foods cause acne
• Makeup causes acne
• Sweating cleans out your pores
• Sun exposure helps acne
• Excessive scrubbing and toning
the skin stops acne
• Acne is curable
“My 15 year old daughter had suffered
from that dreaded adolescent curse, acne.
We had tried almost every product on
the market to address the problem. She
has particularly sensitive skin and many
products commercially available were
quite harsh and just created more
problems. Her self-esteem and confidence
were suffering and she became reluctant
to go out when her skin was bad.
Upon enrolling with Melaleuca I
purchased the Zap-it! Facial Wash and
the Zap-it! Quick Stick. After using these
products regularly her skin began to
improve. After a few weeks her pimples
had all but disappeared and her skin
regained that pre-pubescent
healthy glow. She has been using these
products now for months and her skin
looks fantastic! She is thrilled to bits
and so am I because I remember how
embarrassed and self-conscious I was
at her age with the same problem.
Thank you!”
Khyiah Angel, New South Wales
Step 3. Medicate Skin to Prevent Future Breakouts
Then help prevent breakouts with all day/all night time-release technology of Zap-it!
Acne Treatment Cream. With the maximum strength power of 2% salicylic acid, Zap-it! Acne
Treatment Cream absorbs excess oil—helping prevent new breakouts before they start.
Smooth a thin layer of the cream over your freshly cleansed skin—paying special attention
to your T-zone (your forehead and down your nose.) The salicylic acid is released slowly
to evenly and gently medicate skin to help keep the oil that comes to the surface from
blocking pores—and causing more blemishes.
Step 4. Zap Acne Anytime, Anywhere
Finally, for whenever a pimple rears its ugly head, trust the portable protection of the
Zap-it! Quick Stick. With 2% salicylic acid, the Zap-it! Quick Stick gives you an instant boost
of acne-fighting power 24/7! Simply roll this light, greaseless solution over your troubled
skin—it can even be used over makeup. Keep the Zap-it! Quick Stick in your pocket, purse,
or vehicle, so you can help head off acne anytime, anywhere.
Clean It. Treat It. Prevent It. Zap-it!
Whether you have very oily skin or just occasional breakouts, the simple 4-step Zap-it! Acne
Defense System removes oil, dirt, and impurities while helping fight bacteria. With salicylic
acid and T36-C5 Melaleuca Oil on your side, Zap-it! is complete care for your skin.
