What the gurus are saying

The retinoid ingredient sets these patches apart from standard hydrocolloid options, making them effective for whitehead and blackhead breakouts without over-drying thanks to the aloe vera. Gurus praise the simple formula with minimal unnecessary ingredients and note they offer good value at their price point, though those on a tighter budget may want to compare cost per patch with other hydrocolloid options available.

"I tried all the acne patches and Peace Out just works the best. These patches are so effective my pimple will be gone in a few days. It's an expensive brand, but they go 50% off during Sephora's beauty deals, so I stock up then."

"This is one of my absolute favorite indie brands, and those acne dots are very, very good. They are expensive, twenty dollars will be nine fifty in the sale, and that's the time to buy them."

"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."
Yay
"These are fantastic and I feel like these really do set themselves apart from everyone else. They specifically say on the back that they have a hydrocolloid polymer technology and the difference between these is that yes it has the hydrocolloid, yes it has a salicylic acid, this also has a retinoid in it. The retinol in here is fantastic, it's technically retinal acetate so it's not like definitely not a prescription, it's not what you're getting from the doctor, but to have a pimple patch that has a retinoid in it that actually works, this is great. I love these for adult acne if you get the whiteheads, if you get the blackheads that turn into the whiteheads, if you have breakout, these really do piece them out. The aloe vera in here is also hydrating so these don't dry out the skin. I just love these. They are a little bit more expensive so please take that with a grain of salt and keep that in mind. These don't have micro needling technology, but if you are looking for a flat invisible pimple patch that actually works and you've got the money for them, I would say that these are the best ones."

"Right here, these are the Peace Out Acne dots. These are the best if someone's really struggling with blemishes. I've loved these. I actually gave them a Teen Vogue acne award because of how great these were, it was like five or six years ago. This is such an amazing brand and it's LGBT owned and friendly. If you are looking to support an LGBTQIA plus brand, absolutely wonderful. They do have salicylic acid, retinol, and aloe vera, so if someone really has acne and is sensitive, these pimple patches are it."

"I love the Peace Out Acne dots if you actually have acne. Pimple patches are amazing if you have acne, but this makes me wonder: is she getting rosacea breakouts and then she's putting these on thinking that it's acne? Lucy, speak to your dermatologist and find out if that's actually acne breakouts or not."

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.
