PRODUCT REVIEW: ZITSTICKA SKIN DISCIPLINE BREAKOUT DEFENSE SUPPLEMENTS – DAILY PROBIOTIC ACNE TREATMENT FOR BLEMISHES
ZITSTICKA | SKIN DISCIPLINE BREAKOUT DEFENSE SUPPLEMENTS
If you’re tired of what seems like a non-stop cycle of breakouts, have you considered the latest scientific innovation in the treatment of acne?
Early last year, I wrote a blog article about the next big thing in the acne treatments: probiotics. It was titled, Skincare 101: Acne Treatments and Probiotic Skincare. (You can read it here!)
In the piece, I talked about the long history of conventional acne treatment — and the fact that they simply perpetuate the acne cycle by drying out and aggravating the skin.
Science has been hard at work over the course of the last year or so in search of a healthier solution. Finally, the solution has come!
I thought Zitsticka’s zit patches were futuristic — until SKIN DISCIPLINE. Get a close-up look at the SKIN DISCIPLINE capsules. They’re nested, cap-in-cap technology that, taken orally, help to clear skin and keep complexion fresh from the inside-out.
Ideal for acne-prone skin with a light to moderate occurrence of blemishes, the proprietary SKIN DISCIPLINE formula is a blend of skin optimizing nutrients and probiotics that enhance skin health.
ZitSticka calls them “a multivitamin for breakouts” and honestly that nails it.
Taken daily, the SKIN DISCIPLINE formula helps to calm inflammation, regulate sebum levels in the skin, accelerate skin cell turnover for a fresher complexion, and balance the gut microbiome. An imbalanced microbiome is a leading cause of acne. Where have these things been all along?!

The Ingredient List of the Skin Discipline Breakout Defense Supplements:
Zinc 30mg
Zinc helps by regulating sebum (or oil) activity, reduces breakout severity and fortifies skin cells to dilute post-zit damage. Zinc also reduces the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—which can clog pores and increase zit-causing inflammation.*
Omega-3 450mg
Triple distilled for purity and a neutral taste, our omega-3 is rich in EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), essential fatty acids that soothe your body’s inflammatory response to excess sebum and toxins. This sustainably sourced fish oil addresses the root of your breakouts by helping to regulate acne-causing hormones.*
Selenium 100mcg
Selenium assists your body’s production of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme that dials down inflammation. It also maintains supportive antioxidants like vitamins A and E, which help minimize breakouts and upturn residual post-zit damage.*
Pantothenic Acid 20mg
Pantothenic acid helps to engineer vital structural proteins such as collagen. It speeds up the multiplication of skill cells helping new skin layers to form. Vitamin B5 also helps to fortify stronger hair follicles... stronger follicles means tighter barriers which stops them from filling with excess oil.*
Chromium 60mcg
This trace mineral improves the insulin response which is especially significant for skin health (as spikes in blood sugar levels can lead to the random breakout).*
Niacin 25mg
Niacin (AKA Vitamin B3) beholds distinctive anti-inflammatory benefits which are able to dial down the redness and inflammation zits tend to cause. Niacin can also help regulate sebaceous gland activity and in turn, balance oily complexions.*
Probiotic Blend (10 Billion CFU)
Not all probiotics are created equal. SKIN DISCIPLINE is formulated with 5 unique strains of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium, probiotics that have proven to positively impact the “gut-skin-skin axis" due to their anti-inflammatory properties. These strains have been aligned with improving acne from a systemic level. The complete list of strains is as follows: Lactobacillus Acidophilus La-14, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus Plantarum Lp- 115, Lactobacillus Casei LC-11, Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb-06 (equivalent to 10 billion colony-forming units).*
Vitamin b6 3mg
Studies show that vitamin B6 is able to assist in reducing the sebum overproduction caused by excess testosterone.
Copper
Ingesting too much zinc over a long period of time can cause copper deficiency—however, the concentration of zinc in SD is conservative and reflects the optimum level required to attain greater skin health. With this said, we've included a small amount of copper to each capsule to mitigate the risk of any adverse effects should your natural levels of zinc be higher than normal
