The Hydro-Stars, made solelly of Hydrocolloid, are what I need to make the situation less frustrating. They're good for non-cystic pimples. I usually wear them in the evening/during night, but also left the house with some on my face. From pimple- to starface.

just cute honestly, like any other hydro star. buy it as a makeup product rather than a pimple fighter, much more affordable options

I don't really have a lot of cystic acne or large noticeable skin issues so honestly, I didn't see very obvious results or large differences. But, however, I have noticed my skin feeling smoother, the skin tone feeling more even, and a lack of newly developed acne after using this every day for 3 weeks. This product is a good preventative measure and overall well formulated however you have to Show more
