What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise these patches for their blended treatment approach, noting the addition of active ingredients beyond standard hydrocolloid delivers visible results. The patches are noted for being particularly discreet on skin. The main appeal is seeing extracted material when removed, especially after overnight wear, making them effective for addressing both breakouts and the redness that follows.

"This works, I'm telling you now. I like these a lot because there are three other ingredients in here that treat the area at the same time, which I honestly haven't used a hydrocolloid patch that contains these additional ingredients, and I just feel like it's more beneficial. This has 0.4% salicylic acid, so this ingredient helps to exfoliate the pore, it gets rid of all of that dirt and gunk that could lead to breakouts, but also it can help to reduce pore size. There is 0.4% azelaic acid, so this is going to reduce oil but it's also going to help reduce redness, which of course can come from breakouts. And there's also 0.2% ectoin, which will actually help to lock in hydration in that area. You are getting 22 patches in total and there are two sizes. You can use them during the day, you can also use them overnight. The Inkey List actually recommends to leave it on for at least 4 hours, but if you want to leave it on longer than that, go for it, it's completely safe to do so. If I can leave it on longer than 4 hours, I will. Typically, I like to use them at night, go to bed, and then when I wake up in the morning, I like to peel them off and you get to see all of that gunk that's been extracted from that pimple. It's really satisfying."

"These patches are really unique to me because they are more invisible on the skin than any other patches that I have tried. They have invisible technology that helps the patch instantly blur the appearance of the pimple underneath. They are ultra thin and ultra matte and that allows it to blend in all skin tones so that they are undetectable. This patch is made of hydrocolloid which is a hyper absorptive material that draws the gunk out of the pimple. It also has salicylic acid which penetrates into the acne pore to unplug it so the gunk can come out. Sumic acid is also in this patch that can improve redness and ectoin will soothe blemish prone skin. You should apply this to clean dry skin directly after cleansing and leave the pimple patch on for at least 4 hours or overnight to help clear up your acne fast."
