What the gurus are saying

Beyond a plain hydrocolloid patch, these dots add salicylic acid, aloe and a vitamin A-type ingredient, and that mix is what gurus keep coming back to. Most of the takes are warm, praising how well the patches stick and how they suit adult acne, whiteheads and blackheads. The one thing to keep in mind: rosacea breakouts can be mistaken for acne, so anyone unsure may want to check with a dermatologist first.

"Peace Out is an incredible one also. They're the original I used to use when I lived in Florida, and they weren't available in the UK. I'll go to Sephora and stack up on those. The nose ones, the forehead ones, and the pimple ones."

"I always find myself recommending Peace Out whenever people are asking me for recommendations for a good pimple patch. Not only because it works well and sticks on the skin, which is something that you definitely don't get with every acne patch out there, but the dots are also infused with salicylic acid to help treat that breakout, aloe vera to help moisturize the area, as well as Vitamin A. So it's not just like a basic hydrocolloid patch, you are getting those treatment ingredients as well."

"These are fantastic and they really do set themselves apart from everyone else. They [...] have hydrocolloid polymer technology with salicylic acid, and this also has a retinoid in it. The [...] retinal acetate is a great addition to have in a pimple patch that [...] actually works. [...] I love these for adult acne if you get whiteheads, [...] blackheads that turn into whiteheads, or breakouts. The aloe vera in here is also hydrating so these don't dry out the skin."

"Peace Out Acne Dots, 20 patches for 19 [...] dollars. These contain 0.5 percent salicylic acid, [...] and they also contain aloe and retinol palmitate. You get a little bit better bang for your buck here. The Peace Out ones are far more simple, they have very few unnecessary ingredients in there. [...] I really like the Peace Out brand face patches for this reason."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.
