Bullet Pocket Acne Aid

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you having a wonderful day so far. Today, I want to share with you about an exciting new discovery and product in skincare. The Bullet Pocket Acne Aid is like NO OTHER! Can you imagine using one product without having to use cleanser, toner, moisturizer, or 100 other products to help get rid of a breakout? I know I was intrigued, so I had to know does it work? 
Here is what I found...

Why Bullet?

This from their website...

"BULLET was created out of frustration with current formulations in the market, which are backed by aggressive marketing campaigns, are overly complicated, and prey on the customer’s general lack of scientific knowledge.  Moreover, today’s products are often harsh on the skin, or potentially harmful to the body, to the degree that the side effects become a larger issue than the actual problem itself.
BULLET, in contrast, believes in a simple, natural approach that works with the body and its natural metabolic process.  Relying on classical principles of pharmacokinetics (how drugs are absorbed and interact with the body), BULLET uses ingredients that are natural or body friendly, meaning most of the ingredients are naturally derived, or already exist naturally in your body (endemic).  The use of natural or endemic ingredients leads to products that are non-foreign, gentle and welcoming to the body and skin, while providing all the necessary strength and power.
Furthermore, BULLET products are designed to be multifunctional, meaning that several critical functions are combined in one product, reducing the need for cumbersome and time-consuming multi-step regimens that characterize many brand name products.  This revolutionary all-in-one approach creates skincare aids that are simple, natural, and portable, saving the consumer much time, space, and money."
I love how the idea came about, and I like the fact that I can recognize the ingredients in the product. It is a big plus for me that all the ingredients in the Bullet are natural/body friendly. Just a few ingredients that pop out for me are: Green Tea, Licorice, Black Willow, Aloe, and Zinc Sulfate. 
The Product/My Thoughts

According to their website...

Portable, all-in-one acne gel system designed to simplify your acne regimen by reducing it to just one step – saving you time, space, and money.

Use it all over your face for everyday protection at home, or take it with you, on the go, for instant facial defense, when you feel a pimple coming.
Each Bullet is:
  • specially designed to kill more than 99.9% of
    acne bacteria*
  • but gentle enough for daily use on your entire face, large blemish-prone areas, or small individual spots
  • safe, natural, and body friendly, infused with
    botanical extracts
  • oil-free, alcohol-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free
  • based on an award-winning, proprietary formula by a world class pharmaceutical scientist
There are two different sizes of the Bullet Pocket Acne Aid. The full size version seen up above which runs for $13.95, and then the smaller, what I call purse size version for $7.95 - seen below.

My Review:

I don't receive breakout's very much, but when I do they are pretty horrible! It happened to work out that I received a breakout, the same day I received this product. So, it was the perfect opportunity to try the product out. I had a lot of redness, which is really apparent with how fair skinned I am. It says to put the bullet aid on between 1-4 times daily. I decided to do it three times a day. Once in the morning, once after dinner, and then once before I go to bed. 

Immediately, I noticed once I put it on the redness went away. By the end of the night, the swelling was gone. Then on the third day, the breakout had gone away COMPLETELY! I didn't have to use a bajillion products, just one. Seriously, amazing. It took what I had on my forehead; got it under control, and then got rid of it! In my opinion, the sooner you catch the breakout the better, but even if you don't the Bullet seems to take care of it. 

I also have somewhat sensitive skin, and it felt like I was literally putting some moisturizer on. It was that subtle. I had no burning or the slightest bit of tingling, (without feeling it) it was already working. I admit, I was somewhat skeptical when I first saw this product. I was like there is NO FREAKING WAY that this 1 product is going to help a breakout. Sure enough though, I was proved wrong. 

I think it is a wonderful product, and I hope that each of you can experience and achieve the same amazing benefit's I have from it. Now, by no mean's am I claiming this will be a miracle product for you. I think everyone's skin is built in different ways, and adhere's to products in different ways. For me though, it didn't dry out my skin, so I didn't have to worry about a moisturizer. It also got rid of the problem in what I would consider a reasonable amount of time.  The only way I can see this product being any better is instead of having to put it on 3 or 4 times a day, being able to put it on once. However, I think that is just me being picky. That being said, this is the highest score I have ever given an acne product. For me it say's a lot and it will be a new staple in my skincare routine.

Overall Product Score: 4.9*

  1. I received a sample of this in my pinch me box and am really excited but can't seem to find any info on weather it's cruelty free or not any idea?

    1. Hey Lacey! Thanks for the feedback. I am familiar with pinchme, which is actually how I found out about them! :) I am not sure if they are cruelty free, although I do think that is a wonderful question that should be answered. I know they are all natural, but it say's nothing that I can see about cruelty free. I have direct contact with Bullet Acne Aid (and generally get a fast response), so I will give you the answer they provide me with as soon as I receive it. I will not only update here, but can send you a message once I do as well. Thanks so much for your feedback, and I hope that you will continue to read my blog.

  3. I hardly get breakouts on my face. But when I do it be great to have this handy. I never say never will I get because it can be possible so having this will be something I would have in my purse or and on my bathroom counter.
