Cons: A bit drying, but that should be good for pimples right?

Pros: Best pimple patch I've used so far. It flattens any pimple I've had with minimal patches (mostly one, two to three for the stubborn ones). It sticks to the skin SO well, it's a fight to get it off even with the patch mostly white. It's also incredibly sweat-proof so far.

it definitely reduces the pimple size but it’s so thick that once i’m done with my skincare even if i let it dry for an hour, it’ll still slip off. this literally could not stay on my face for more than 5 minutes. but, i was determined to see results and test it so i literally TAPED IT onto my face 😭😭 it also can’t sit under makeup because of how thick it is. yeah i would recommend the “TONYMOLY Show more
