Good Molecules Pimple Patches

I actually like these pimple patches! They stay on and work very well.

Okay first…if they’re not sticking, your face either isn’t clean or isn’t dry. The only thing I ever put on my freshly washed skin before these is a hypochlorous acid spray or another acidic toner withOUT any kind of hyaluronic or moisturizing ingredient, and that needs to dry down. On nights I’m wearing dots, I avoid using oils but usually can follow AFTER dots are applied with normal moisturizer and it just goes over the dots. These do in fact pull crud out of your skin very quickly effectively. I am buying for myself for hormonal acne, my teenage son with typical teen acne, and these also work well for bug bites (look it up…there are similar products marketed specifically for bites and they’re exactly the same) for our whole household. Hydrocolloid bandages are typically marketed for blisters but they actually have a wide range of uses. These specifically are the best value I’ve found. Only cheaper have been from bargain stores, but the quality isn’t as good. These are tapered at the edges so they disappear better than any others out there. The entire surface will still pull fluid if there is any to pull though. These also leave minimal to no residue when removing. Some leave behind adhesive that takes some effort to get off. These also adhere really well. The only place I’ve had them peel up on their own is right beside my lip (highly mobile location and moisture seeps under). And…the packaging on these is very user friendly. I dispose of the box and just keep the stack of sheets in an “actives & treatments” compartment of my bathroom drawer. The backing being perforated in columns means I can lift a dot without curling one of the edges. This also ensures good adhesion and invisibility once applied. I get a clean dot every time this way and just slide the rest of the sheet back into the opened sleeve. These are not as thick as for instance Bandaids (which I have also cut up and used for acne) so they will “fill up” quicker than something that’s thicker, but at that point you want to change the dot so a new one can keep pulling. The only blemishes that these won’t be effective for are deeper cystic acne. It’s too deep to do much…however, those spots can be massaged with a gua sha tool and tend to work up to the surface where then the yuck can be expressed and/or accessible with one of these dots.
