"The Mario Badescu Drying Patches have salicylic acid which I know my skin reacts well to. They also have hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C. I really really liked these. I got these for three pounds from Beauty Works. I think if you leave them on all day, they really do do something. Of the three, the Mario Badescu ones were the best."

"These are the Drying Patches from Mario Badescu. I want to say these are not my favorite pimple patches, but Mario Badescu did a good job with these. They have niacinamide, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and salicylic acid, and these are basically these little hydrocolloid patches that you put on. I have been really impressed by these. They are not my favorite—I love Zitstica. There are some new ones that I'm also trying out. But if you are looking for something budget and inexpensive and you don't want to spend the money on the Zit Sticker patches, you could try these because they are on sale for Prime Day."
