Game changer
These have changed the game for me. I'm a picker so spots usually last for months for me, but this flattens them down and takes a good majority of the rubbish out. This gets rid of 90% of the spot, and leaves just pigment behind. It's not 100% healed but speeds the process up by about 2 weeks

They get the job done, but not as well as other pimple patch options. For whatever reason they tear off a layer of my skin along with the pus it absorbed. My mom has had the same issue. Maybe it's fine if you have thicker skin.

Eight patches ain’t gonna cut it.
I bought this product earlier in my skincare journey before I really knew just how hard dark spots are to tackle. After using all the patches I, of course, saw no difference.

If you want to treat dark spots so they fade quicker you have to be persistent over a long period of time. Untreated, my worst post inflammatory erythema spots can take almost a year to Show more
