This is the first time I've tried pimple patches and I was really skeptical they'd work like they say. Well they do. And they work very well. It's so satisfying to see the white gunk it pulls out of the pores start appearing on the patch a couple hours after wearing it! I haven't tried any other brands, I just got these because they were the cheapest and had good reviews. They work great and they STAY ON. I was so sure they'd peel off after a few hours. I am able to SHOWER with these on, put makeup over them, everything. They're only coming off when you want to remove them. Even after 24 hours they're still very sticking and it takes a little bit of effort to peel them off!
They work best on white heads, pimples in painful places too irritating to squeeze, pimples that are too sore to squeeze, deep pimples that when you squeeze nothing comes out. They DON'T work on black heads/sebaceous filaments. I was kind of bummed about that but. They do collect some gunk but they don't pull them out like a pore strip does.
I love them for when I have a bad pimple(s) and need to be somewhere the next day. By the time I take it off in the morning the pimple looks so much better, a lot less redness and much smaller and plus got the gunk out so it can start going away faster. They are basically undetectable when wearing them unless someone is up close. From a distance u can't see them. When wearing them they also cover up the pimple's redness so that's awesome. If you put concealer/foundation over them they're even more hidden.
Something that amazed me, on this one deep pimple I applied a patch to, as I was peeling off the patch I saw, as I peeled it up, a big "worm" of gunk it was pulling up with it. Like as i peeled it i was directly pulling the gunk right out of the pimple. Really satisfying to my weirdo brain. Only happened once but was really satisfying lol.
I usually leave mine on for 24+ hours just to make sure I get as much sebum out as i can but most of the time there'll be gunk on the patch within a couple hours. I still definitely prefer to pop and pick bc thats my addiction lmao but like I said I use these for certain pimples and they're awesome!! 5 stars and everyone should try them. They really DO work.
