Tanda Zap

Hey Guys! I thought I would review the Tanda Zap Advanced Acne Clearing Device today. I have had this product for at least 6 months now and have used it off and on as needed. It is a device that uses blue light to kill bacteria and also vibrates and heats up. It claims to “clear or fade acne blemishes within 24 hours”.

I feel that this helps to get rid of blemishes quicker than doing nothing, but I think 24 hours is a little unrealistic. When I get a breakout I use it on the spot twice a day along with a salicylic acid spot treatment and the blemish goes away within a few days. I like that this helps to clear the acne without drying my skin out. Anyone with acne prone skin that also happens to be dry can appreciate that since most acne clearing products create dry flaky skin. I like the product and use it, but I don’t think it’s a miracle worker. If you’re looking for something new to try and don’t mind spending some money then this is something you can try. Keep in mind a regular skincare routine is most important in keeping your skin healthy and clear. This product is only for speeding up the healing process when you do get a breakout. It is only good for 1000 uses then you need to buy a new one. I don’t think that I will be repurchasing when mine stops working since the results aren’t outstanding and $49 seems a little expensive to me.

This device should be used on mild to moderate acne breakouts. It is not appropriate for blackheads or cystic acne. I purchased it at Sephora for $49. It uses three AAA batteries. It cautions against using if you are sensitive to light. Also, do not look at the light as it can be damaging for your eyes.
