What the gurus are saying

Gurus split on efficacy. While some praise the patches for their cute aesthetic and protective barrier function, others find them underwhelming at actual acne treatment and note adhesion issues. The consensus view: they work best as a physical barrier to prevent picking rather than an active treatment, and better options exist for addressing acne holistically. Style and mood-boosting appeal are genuine strengths.

"She uses some pimple patches. We like pimple patches. I've always been a big fan, ever since I've been introduced to them to hydrocolloid pimple patches. Those ones are from Starface. They're a little bit of decoration on your face. They're great."

"I think that these are so cute I love to wear them I feel like they just look so cute on but I don't think that they do anything to help my skin and help my pimples. These just didn't personally do anything for my skin. I think they're cute and I'm glad that they exist but I don't think that they should be a treatment for your pimples. I am a fan of pimple patches as a way for people to avoid touching their pimples, it keeps the pimple protected and in a way it can provide an environment for that pimple to heal because of that moisture and occlusion, but I do find other types of hydrocolloid patches to be a little bit better. So I wouldn't run and get this one. If you want something cute and you happen to be like a pimple picker then maybe you can do this one, but if you're dealing with acne I would start with some good topical products. You want to treat your whole face not just like individual pimples. Of course if you have like a big annoying pimple there's a time and a place for patches like these and spot treatment but you really want to treat your whole face with topical treatments whether it's a retinol salicylic acid product adapalene and prevent the pimples from coming out in the first place. But there's probably better options."

"Starface is an amazing brand with some amazing products. They have pimple patches in the shapes of stars that not only help to cover your pimples but make you feel good about having acne as you get rid of it. It's okay to love ourselves and love the process even if we are a work in progress."
