Did absolutely nothing. I usually use Mighty Patch but they were out so opted for this instead. Huge waste of money. Put this on a fresh white head ready to pop overnight and nothing!

i see people complaining about how they stick but to be honest i have that issue with any and all brands of patches unless wipe the area with a q-tip first (you know, oily skin and skincare) but lately i’ve been battle cystic acne. i had an incredibly large one that was very painful. it looked like it had a head so i put one of these on, now while it didn’t suck anything out, it shrunk it considerably so i’d call that a win.

These are not hydrocolloids. These have a layer that is plastic and a layer that holds salicylic acid. Great to treat the inflamed pimples that don't have surfaced yet. It knocks down the inflammation and reduces size of the pimple. Also great to deter picking. I wish there were more sizes available.

Sawyer - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
These rarely pulled anything out of my zits. BUT they are the most discrete patches I’ve ever bought. I put them on before work. They do prevent my pimples from getting worse or developing a white head. I’d rather put these on during the day and an overnight patch on later. It’s hard working in a business casual office and having acne but these patches make it a little easier.

I was very dissappointed in these, Differin has always been a great brand for fighting acne so i was excited to try these out. Only good thing is that they are completely clear once put on. So perfect to place before makeup. But they do not help pimples at all.

I found that the patches didn’t pull anything from my skin :/ they were definitely thin and felt almost like I didn’t have them on which was a plus! Someone mentioned these patches might be better to use as a medicated ones instead of hydrocolloid, which would honestly make sense since the packaging doesn’t really indicate it being used for that (?). I’ll keep trialing the ones I have left, but at this time I don’t think I would re-purchase.

I honestly didn’t think that a product like this couldn’t work. They are paper thin with zero hydrocolloid. The patch doesn’t absorb anything. There are way better pimple patches on the market.

I used on an active white head and it kept the pimple protected from environmental factors. CON* it doesn’t absorb like a hydro colloid patch. It pulled the white head off my skin once removed, but I was hoping for absorption out of that pimple!!

The only pro I’d give them is that they stay on for a long time and don’t fall off, and are invisible. But whenever I put these on top of a pimple with a whitehead, it did bring the head up, but it wasn’t pulled out with the patch, so I had to squeeze it out myself. I thought they would flatten down my other pimples without a head but they don’t.

Non-hydrocolloid stickers for early stage acne

5 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
EG - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
These are not traditional hydrocolloid/cellulose pimple patches. These are medicated stickers to give targeted relief to early stage pimples. These will not pull any oil out of a whitehead. I find that for the purpose of spot treating early pimples these worked great. I like a competing brand of medicated hydrocolloid patches but they're pricy for a small quantity. I wanted to see if this would be a less expensive alternative and it worked well. I had an early, painful pimple that this decreased overnight. It's still red, but it no longer hurts like it'll become a cyst. I applied them to a clean, dry face and I was careful not to get other skin care on or around it. If you're looking for hydrocolloid patches these will not work for you. If you don't mind that it's just a medicated sticker they're definitely worth trying.
