I love these things - pimple patches in general are a godsend for me. Not particularly for actually getting rid of the pimple - I have a lot of deep acne that doesn't lend itself really well to being suctioned out -but because I'm a picker and these things stop me from making everything 10 times worse! Of all of the pimple patches I've tried, these are decent enough as far as actually getting the gunk out, but I love them because they are just so large and cover such a large area. I will say, these work best over LONG periods of time, more than just a night. You're supposed to take them off once the edges kind of start to loosen on their own, which takes a decent chunk of time. I usually wear these on my weekends for a night and the next day, and sometimes even another night when I have no plans outside of the house - these are nowhere near as discreet as the smaller ones because they are just so big so I always feel a little self-conscious wearing them out for anything more involved than walking in and picking up a mobile order somewhere.

Be patient and follow the instructions. Always cleanse your face first because that’s when it works the best. I had a painful pimple near a birthmark come up on Saturday morning, and I had just watched Khloe Kardashian speak about how she thought she had a pimple but it was actually melanoma so I was spiraling about this. So I decided to just make sure it wasn’t a pimple and put a patch over it since my dermatology office is closed on the weekend anyway. I washed my face with my shiseido cleanser, air dried my face and then applied a patch to my cheek. I left it on from around 7 PM Saturday evening until about 10 AM on Sunday morning and it extracted so much gunk. Now, it’s Monday and the surface is flat and it doesn’t hurt. It’s completely purged and the redness is starting to subside. CosRx products just work everytime I use them. You just have to be patient and remember that there are no 5 minute cures. Skin takes time to purge, the heal and to show off the benefits. I highly recommend these. I always keep them on hand. Especially with my PCOS causing random pimples. Read more

Long but here’s my truth! Since discovering hydrocolloid acne patches, I’ve been obsessively buying multiple brands and testing them to see which works best. As you can see from my photos and line of work, I’m prone to deep and superficial acne and “maskne” as well as hyperpigmentation. I’ve tried hanhoo and alba patches (available at Walmart) as well as a few others and this one by far worked the best. I applied these patches before going to work and took them off once I got home (12hrs). After applying, I couldn’t even see where the borders were, but within a few hours, the pus and oil these drew out was shocking, and by the time I made it home I couldn’t believe it. I had already previously treated several of these spots already with the patches from the other brands- they were already flat and non-sensitive. In my mind, “healed” minus some residual discoloration. Especially because no new drainage was collecting on the other patches. Then I use this one and Boom! I was SHOCKED to see the amount these patches drew from my “healed” areas. Even areas where I “didn’t have acne” because my skin looked perfect on the outside. These patches are huge so they’re great if you have focal/concentrated acne areas. As well as hitting areas you didn’t even know about that would soon be a problem. The other brands patches are just small, different sized circles- to get the same results you would have to apply like you’re a pixelated character. Trust and believe- I have😅😂 The middle patch was on my chin, the others on both cheeks. Forgot to snap what all three looked like before removal because I was too excited to see the results. I even put moisturizer on my face around the patches after applying because I’m prone to dry skin- this didn’t affect them at all. Didn’t budge through me sweating during my 12 hour shift caring for patients. No lifting at the edges at all. I even removed and reapplied the chin patch 3 times before leaving its placement- I need to be able to talk and really wanted to experiment with how it did after losing “initial adhesive” and being in a very mobile area of my face, so I pity placed it on my chin as a test. I didn’t even think any would come on that patch at all because of how “treated, flat, and un-inflamed” it was.. You can see the results in my photo. Stayed out all night. 10/10. Will be buying more and highly recommend! Read more

I had a bad reaction to my cpap mask combined with a new sunscreen that caused two areas on my chin below my mouth to get dozens of pimples. Using these for three or four days cleared them up. I definitely recommend them. They stick well, are comfortable, remove easily, and they work. Read more

While this product did arrive in good condition, the disappointment is from the product itself. Do not be fooled by these pore patches as they do not actually extract blackheads and sebaceous filaments, all they do is absorb oil. They did not really do anything to help with the look of congested pores. Read more
