Really Works
It literally made my acne go away within 2 use. I used it on my acne 2 times. And the acne was gone & another one was reduced. Like what?! Not a single product I tried ever did this for me. I'm so glad to find a product that works for me. I'm definitely going to keep using this one.

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

For smaller pimples, standard pimple patches usually do the trick for me. However, during my last prolonged hormonal acne outbreak under the chin, I needed something more potent. Containing 1% salicylic acid, they are notably more effective. The only downside is that these patches don't adhere as strongly as others, so it's best to apply them directly after cleansing, without any prior skincare Show more

First, the negative - I wish they were just a little smaller, that they had two sizes, as these are on the big side for the most common places I still get pimples, like my nose. They could be a smidge stickier too. This are minor complaints because these little stars GET IT DONE. They shrink down pimples faster than any other patches I've tried. The blue box they came in is cute and stores them Show more
