My go to microdart pimple patch
These patches are one of the most effective over the counter products I’ve found to deal with inflamed under the skin blemishes. I’ve found that if I catch an under the skin pimple quick enough I can sometimes tackle it in 2-3 days with these patches, which is so much quicker than if I just let it run its course. I have some pretty stubborn hormonal acne around my chin, and I really don’t know what I would do without these. I’ve tried a couple of other brands microdart patches (Zitsticka and Hero Cosmetics) but the Peach Slices are my preferred pick because of the price and the number of patches you get in a packet. The only reason I would go with something else is if you have a sensitivity to one of the ingredients in the Peach Slices patches (such as tea tree, which the Hero Cosmetic patches do not contain).
I highly recommend these patches for anyone who deals with inflamed and deep acne.

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.
