Unlike normal hydrocolloid patches, these patches have tea tree oil and salicylic acid in them which actually fight acne. People don’t realize that all normal hydrocolloid patches do is turn any fluid seeping out of a wound into gel. (Put a drop of water onto a plain hydrocolloid patch, it’ll turn into that white gel.) So those don’t work unless you have an open wound (sorry, it does not suck gunk out of an existing growing pimple that has no break in the skin), and hydrocolloid itself doesn’t actually fight acne. They do help if you pick at pimples, so covering them might stop you from picking, which is good though. So if you want a patch that actually works on fighting acne, get ones like these with acne fighting ingredients in them! They stop my pimples from becoming huge and it only takes about two days for them to disappear. Plus I wear them under makeup, which keeps the pimple from getting worse that way. And these stay put where I place them. I never worry about them pealing off in the middle of the day/night. To me, these specific patches are worth it.
