COSRXAcne Pimple Master Patch 480 Counts (24 patches * 20 Packs) | A.D.F. Hydrocolloid Dressing | Quick & Easy Treatment

As an adult acne sufferer for the last 6 years, I wish I had found them sooner! I have tried MANY other brands and these seem to be the best, with the best price. They stick very well unless you have lotion or oil on your skin (important to start with clean skin!). I can stick them on at night and even in places like my lip line or edge of my nose, they stay put. I like that the pack has 3 different sized patches and have found that if you need to cover a bigger area, you can overlap edges and it doesn’t compromise the effectiveness of either patch.I’ve used these to treat all different stages of my acne: deep cystic acne, whiteheads, and broken skin from when one reaches the surface or I happen to go after it myself. For over a month I was struggling with getting a few cystic ones that had broken to the surface to heal because they were on my chin near my lip and anytime I opened my mouth to eat, the skin would separate a little and reopen the wound. After just the first night of wearing these, those areas that had been broken skin for weeks were significantly improved and after 2 nights, more than 50% healed. They absorbed the fluid (all fluid, even the gross gunk) and when removed the next morning I could see the skin was a little soft but nothing like if I had used neosporin and a bandaid which made it soft and tear like wet tissue. They don’t do a lot to treat deep cystic acne spots however if the skin on the outside is irritated or chapped, it will help heal that skin which overall reduced redness and inflammation.I’ve tried several other brands and Cosrx by far are the best ones. This brand specifically seems to have a cult following on many skincare forums. I’m in the US and I’ve even heard of people in countries paying up to 5x the price to get Cosrx brand acne patches sent to them.For the curious, here’s how they work (courtesy of Wikipedia):A hydrocolloid dressing is an opaque or transparent dressing for wounds. A hydrocolloid dressing is biodegradeable, non-breathable, and adheres to the skin, so no separate taping is needed.The active surface of the dressing is coated with a cross-linked adhesive mass containing a dispersion of gelatin, pectin and carboxymethyl cellulose together with other polymers and adhesives forming a flexible wafer. In contact with wound exudate, the polysaccharides and other polymers absorb water and swell, forming a gel. The gel may be designed to drain, or to remain within the structure of the adhesive matrix.The moist conditions produced under the dressing are intended to promote fibrinolysis, angiogenesis and wound healing, without causing softening and breaking down of tissue. The gel which is formed as a result of the absorption of wound exudate is held in place within the structure of the adhesive matrix.Happy healing!

I’ve been ordering this product in bulk for a very very long time now! It’s such a great deal especially if you have lots of unwanted pimples. I’ve only started noticing lately within the last few months that the patches themselves have changed. They’re not as sheer, thick or packaged the same as they did the first times I’ve ordered the product. I’ve also noticed in terms of packaging, there is no longer a thing plastic film to separate the stickers from the sealed inner packaging!! So all the stickers peel off when you first open them and it really sucks because you’re losing a lot of product!! I’m not sure if I want to continue to buy this just for that alone. Really disappointed in how the stickers went from amazing to less than mediocre. ):

They work! If you have any acne, instead of popping it, place one of these pads over it prior to bed. In the morning, you will see an area where it absorbed the puss. If you absolutely MUST pop it, then poke a tiny hole and then set this over it. Do not squeeze it and cause scars. These will work!This will not work on cystic acne. Cystic acne sits under the skin and are due to other causes like hormones, food allergies, etc... That type of acne responds better to green light therapy and diet change.

I'm so glad I found a bigger pack of these (I was buying the 10 at a time before) but I go through them pretty quickly so 20 sheets is awesome. The only thing I'd say is that they're a bit expensive, but they work so well I don't care. I've tried other brands and Cosrx is still my favorite. My skin is actually mostly clear, it's amazing and has helped my self confidence. All the medicated stuff makes my skin too dry and red. These are a lifesaver.

sometimes good sometimes bad! I loved these when i first got these because i never used anything else ! it does sometimes work on my pimples (more often than not) but i use hydrocolloid bandaids now which work better and are cheaper!

I am prone to breakouts and also have OCD that manifests in picking at my skin. Not only are these life-savers in helping to heal blemishes, the covering prevents me from making them worse. This pack of 20 sheets is the best value if you use them on a near-daily basis.

I’m pretty sure these are fake. Google real vs fake for this product and see for yourself

There are sometimes the patch reduces the inflammation of the zits, but sometimes I don't see any result.
