What the gurus are saying

Salicylic acid in a patch format draws mixed reactions. One dermatologist cautions that keeping an active ingredient like salicylic acid sealed against skin for hours can irritate and dry it out, so it may not suit everyone. Another expert sees merit in the format itself, noting that as long as the patch adheres and stays in place, a salicylic acid version works fine. Those with sensitive or easily irritated skin may want to patch-test first or use sparingly.

"These are by Starface and they have salicylic acid. Putting salicylic acid in close contact and closed contact with a patch for a very long period of time can be irritating to your skin and can be drying, so it's not necessarily my favorite."

"I've even heard that starface has salicylic acid ones which I haven't tried. As long as it's a salicylic acid pimple patch and it stays on your face, then you're good to go."

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.
