Zap-iT! ® aCne defense sysTeMThe only Acne Treatment System with T36-C5® Melaleuca Oil.

The Need

Acne is the most common skin condition in the world—affecting nearly everyone at some point in their life.

CompeTiTive SoluTioNS

Grocery store brand acne creams like Clearasil® use benzoyl peroxide which can be excessively drying and have other side effects like skin irritation, dermatitis, allergic reactions, and bleaching of clothing.

The melaleuCa SoluTioN

The Zap-it! Acne Defense System uses the proven power of naturally derived salicylic acid (from wintergreen) to fight acne and promote healthy skin. Plus, each Zap-it! product has the soothing touch of T36-C5 Melaleuca Oil.

The melaleuCa value

The Zap-it! Acne Defense System can cost up to 30% less than comparable grocery store brands.

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 plugged 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 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 color 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 often take a long time to clear. Whiteheads. Whiteheads result when a pore is completely blocked, trapping sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells, causing a white appearance on the surface. Whiteheads have a shorter life cycle than blackheads. Papules. Papules are small, red, tender bumps with no head. 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.

Salicylic Acid vs. Benzoyl PeroxideEach product in the Zap-it! Acne Defense System uses the proven acne fighter—salicylic acid. Derived from natural wintergreen leaves, Zap-it!’s salicylic acid encourages the peeling of the top layer of skin (exfoliation) and the opening of plugged follicles—helping reestablish 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, so 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 grocery store 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 OilAlong 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 StepsThe Zap-it! Acne Defense System consists of four products: Zap-it! Facial Wash, Zap-it! Deep-Cleaning Astringent, Zap-it! Pore Clarifying Cream, and the Zap-it! Quick Stick.

Step 1. Wash Away Dirt and OilStart 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 PoresNext, fight the deep down bacteria and oil that build up in pores and lead to acne with Zap-it! 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.

“All my adult life I have suffered from acne breakouts. After using the Zap-it! Facial Wash morning and night—gone, gone, gone! Not only is my face cleaner than it has ever been, it’s also not dry and irritated. Everything else I have used over the years could only be tolerated for a short time because it would really make my skin raw. Zap-it! conditions my skin and I feel wonderful!” Jean Smith, New Orleans, Louisiana

“I’ve had to deal with acne for 23 years. I tried medications from my dermatologist and from the infomercials, but nothing worked. After I started using Zap-it!, my face was completely cleared up within a week! It’s been amazing... and I’m not switching back!” Gamble Pledger, Oklahoma
