COSRX Acne Pimple Patch (96 counts) Absorbing Hydrocolloid Spot Treatment Fast Healing, Blemish Cover, 3 Sizes

Tip 1: these won’t work on one of those big, painful, invisible pimples UNLESS you use a (sterilized) pin to allow the stuff to drain. Once you prick it, these will make the pimples literally disappear overnight & help heal them without any scabbing.Tip 2: wear these overnight. Don’t try to wear this during the day with makeup covering it, that just looks awful.Tip 3: use scissors to cut the biggest “stickers” into 1/3rds or 1/4ths so you have more smaller ones to work with. You can triple your stash this way.One complaint is that there’s a LOT of plastic waste in the packaging, I would by hundreds of these if they were at least packages in a recycled/ recyclable material.

I am SO HAPPY to have these! They really do ACTUALLY work! But here's the deal with these glorious wee things. Notice a pimple popping up somewhere, but it's just the red angry bump? Put one of these on it either during the day for at least 6 hours or better yet just do your whole skincare routine at night(at the very least please wash and moisturize your face guys)but avoid putting ANY products on the newly forming pimple after you've washed it. Make sure it's totally dry(PLEASE DO NOT RUB YOUR FACE WITH A TOWEL! IF YOU MUST DRY YOUR FACE((I HIGHLY suggest just using your dryish hands to gently wipe any excess water off your face and allowing your skin to air dry or do what I do and get a small battery operated handheld fan and just fan your face for a minute or two, ALSO you want to apply ANY of your other skincare products to a DAMP face unless otherwise instructed by the product itself))JUST GENTLY DAB IT WITH A TOWEL OR YOU ARE HELPING CREATE WRINKLES, IRRITATION, REDNESS, ETC.)once your skin is all dry pop that little round pimple sticker on your face and gently press around the edges to make sure it's stuck on you. They're kind of clearish but a bit foggy if that makes any sense. They also get stuck to themselves very easily so using tweezers to take one off the sheet may be the best route to take with these. Finish up your skincare if you didn't already and go to bed. You CAN also use a toner on the area prior to applying the sticker just let the toner dry completely first. In the AM when you go to do your morning skincare routine (just splashing your face with cool water 4-5 times should be sufficient if you cleansed properly the PM before)proceed as you usually would AFTER you GENTLY remove the little sticker which by now should be more white in color especially the center of it directly on top of the pimple. You may be upset to find that there is NOW an actual whitehead on the pimple. While that's not an attractive look it still does mean that the sticker is working! It's drawing out all the gunk clogged up in that particular pore and brought it to a head. FOR GODS SAKE LEAVE IT ALONE AND DON'T PICK AT IT OR IT WILL SCAR OR LEAD TO HYPERPIGMENTATION. You can do a couple of things here, finish your morning routine like normal and leave the ugly pimple alone for the rest of the day, if you wear makeup feel free to try to cover it with makeup if that makes YOU feel better about it. You can also make sure, again, not to put any skincare products on that area and go ahead and put another pimple sticker on it to leave there for the day. It will help disguise the pimple at least a little bit, although people will likely wonder why you have a small circular sticker on your face but that's if they even give a $#1+ in the first place. Here is an important truth: EVERYONE GETS ZITS SOMETIMES and most normal human beings are not going to judge YOU for having one. If you opted to put another sticker on(you may have to go with one of the larger sizes of stickers at this point, fair warning, but HEY! It's a variety pack of sizes yay!)and it lasted on your skin all day(don't put makeup on top of the sticker, it will not only look dumb as hell but will compromise the sticky bits causing it to fall off probably)you can go ahead with your PM routine starting off by yet again VERY GENTLY removing the sticker. What I have found in these cases is that it does first of all hurt quite a bit more to remove these from an actual whiteheaded pimple, but that is because it adheres to the white stuff and will actually (if you are slow and gentle!)slowly pull all of the blockage inside that zit all the way out of your skin. It. Is. Gross. But mostly just really freaking cool! Proceed with your skincare taking extra care to be gentle around and on that particular spot, avoiding putting any products on it that may cause damage or pain(AHA, BHA, PHA chemical exfoliants that are often found in toners, anything with Vitamin C, which you really don't need to be using at night anyhow, Retinols in all their forms, etc.) primarily you ONLY want to use your products that are HYDRATING on it. The colloid stickers have a very drying effect and after you use them you then need to get as much hydration back into that area as possible(hyaluronic acid is a great one to put on after toner but before moisturizer). You will likely find that the pimple sticker left a small slightly raised red bump, that is largely just because the skin in that area is irritated and the redness and bump will go away on their own with proper care. And pretty darn quickly too. Plus, again, if you wear makeup, a little green color corrector for redness and a wee dab of concealer on top of your foundation, tinted moisturizer whatever you use, should cover it fairly easily. If you want to treat it a bit faster apply a niacinamide serum on it to reduce the discoloration, and if you feel it's healed over enough a dab of vitamin C serum on top of the niacinamide serum followed up with the hyaluronic acid serum then moisturizer. But truthfully, the red bumps disappear within a day or two. And you won't be left with any permanent damage to your skin.So, these absolutely do work. You just might have to take a few extra steps to care for those spots afterwards to ensure that you have no long lasting damage done to your skin. I do suggest getting yourself a good gentle toner as well as either an AHA, BHA, PHA toner(to be used in the AM only)pick up a hyaluronic serum to aid with hydration in general, a vitamin C, niacinamide serum combo is great too just not all the time, and a really good moisturizer that can double for both the AM and the PM unless, you're like me, and you want a thicker more cream based moisturizer for the PM. Also double cleansing at the end of the day does wonders for your skin, an oil cleanser or a cleansing balm as your first cleanse and a regular, gentle, water based cleanser as the second cleanse.

As the headline states, my significant other swears by these (after I discovered them and gave them to her as part of a gift bundle I made) and now she won't stop praising me. She goes on and on about how great I am and how I am too good for her and to never leave her. At first it was cool but honestly, it's getting kind of weird... she shows up everywhere I go and she tells me to never leave her... the other day I found a voodoo doll of me with, what I believe is my real hair. Should I be worried? In summation, they're a great product and your significant other will love you if you buy it for them.

I love this product ! I first bought this off of an Asian beauty website but I find that buying it on a amazon in this small bulk is cheaper.I’ve found that the best way to use this is to wait til the blemish/pimple is white. Once it is white, you pop the pimple and then put one of these patches on it. This patch will draw out any residual pus/gunk.I noticed that it’s ineffective if you just put it on top of a pimple.

I have struggled with really bad hormonal cystic acne for the past two years or so. My dermatologist and I have finally gotten most of it cleared up (with the help of Spironolactone), but I've tried my fair share of acne products over the years. Whenever I get a stray pimple now, I nip it in the bud by NOT popping it, and putting one of these patches on it right before bed. They adhere really well to the skin, and it you leave them on all night like I do, they come off really easily in the morning (if you try to take them off after only an hour or so, they're stickier but they'll still come off).I'll be honest, there's no magic cure that makes a big, angry, cystic zit disappear, but these patches are amazing for when they get to the point where you're super tempted to pop them-- dries them out, brings them back down, and prevents you from scarring your skin. And if it's a smaller zit, these patches can definitely make it go away overnight.The other thing I really like about them is that they act as a nice protective barrier. I don't typically wear them during the day (unless I'm just hanging around the house), but I think they'd be great for protecting zits from the sun.I've definitely reordered these-- highly recommend!

I ordered two single packs of these and LOVED them! Seriously they were like a miracle for my stubborn cystic acne and any type of inflammation or blemish. However, I recently ordered a 4 pack and noticed that the patches are a much different color now. They are a tannish/yellow color compared to what used to be more of a white. The consistency/thickness also seems more flimsy and thinner. These newer ones also have little to no effect on pimples. They are basically ineffective which is depressing, because I thought I had finally found a miracle solution for acne. I will no longer be recommending these unless they are changed back to the amazing original product.
