Description
When a big, irritating pimple has to go, stick on one of these dots and let it work its magic. Each remarkable patch draws fluids and oils out and away from the skin to reduce inflammation while the tight seal keeps skin moist to encourage faster healing and reduce risk of scarring. Non-drying treatment is focused directly on the problem while an occlusive barrier keeps bacteria out and prevents touching, picking and popping. Invisible patches disappear on skin and stay in place even while you sleep.

Like that these dots reduce zit size overnight. Hard to get out of wrapping, though, by hand or by cutting side.

One of my favorite patches. They will stay on even after being exposed to water and face products such as oils. They really help the zits go down because it has ingredients to promote healing . Only dislike is that it leaves a residue after removal, but it washes off really easy .
Great Product

If you want them glued to your face then this is for you. Wish I could get my money back and get something else instead. I’ve tried other and at least they worked.

I love these pimple patches. They help clear up and make pimples overnight.
Better than hero patches!

These are much better than hero patches in my opinion because they’re way better value and they have clean ingredients. I’ve easily spent a hundred or so dollars on hero patches in my life but I’ve come to like these way better and I wish I started buying them sooner, I would have saved so much money. Even though hero patches are more popular I encourage everyone to try these they’re better for your face and your wallet!
The best bang for your buck and so worth it!

I bought these over a yr ago and just now only have 2 left. They work amazing not just only on pimples but scarring. I have a pimple that scarred and won’t heal so I put these on and it’s helps the healing process go faster! A lot comes in the box but to make them last longer you can cut them in to smaller sized pieces you need. Def recommend as the price is half of some others and work the same plus you get a lot in the one pack!
Not my favorite

They work but not as well as mighty patch. They leave a sticky residue no matter how long I have it on, and hurts to pull them off. I like how many you get for the price though!!
Nice!

These work and don't irritate my skin. They will get overly stuck if you leave them on too long and then leave some stickiness behind. But if you use as directed, they are great.
Alba Dots are the best.

The Alba Dots do a great job extracting matter from several types of blemishes & drying them up. Depending on severity, it could take a few days & several applications of a fresh Dot. I've tried other brands & for me, Alba Dots are the most effective. I highly recommend them!
Great Patches

The best!!! Trust me I've tried so many brands - Cosrx, Hero, Panoxyl, Zitsticka. And these stick the best, are almost undetectable on my face, and you get so many for the price. The stickers are also thin so it's not obvious.
Too intense!

Will remove whiteheads with physical force when peeling off but leaves very red marks for a while after you take off. Better experience with hero.

These are the OG pimple patches. I’ve used these for years and they’re fantastic. I decided to try the Hero brand and it doesn’t compare. Love the two different sizes as well. Wish I had these available as a teen!

I purchased these patches for my 14 year old son. I had purchased an acne cream for him but it stained his bedding and towels. Since the little patches are very popular, I decided to give them a try. There were many to choose from but I decided to get the ones from Alba Botanica (same active ingredient as other brands). The box had more patches than the other brands for pretty much the same price. My son applies these patches at night and removes them in the morning. So far so good, it does a great job at drying out the pimples. He has had no redness or issue with these patches
The absolute best

After I tried these pimple patches, I will never use another brand again. These suck out everything from your pimple and are great at reducing the size of your blemishes
