Sand & SkyOil Control Dual Action Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches with Salicylic Acid & Centella - Blemish Spot Formula, 75 Count, For Whiteheads & Red Pimples

They work so well! I cannot complain and they are matt, so once attached to your skin they are not easy to see for other people. I would recommend them.Also helps me to not touch my skin and contaminate the spot so 100% worth it

This pack of blemish patches comes in a nicely presented branded cardboard box which contains x45 Step 1 ‘Help Me’ patches and x30 Step 2 ‘Bye Bye’ patches. Each set has two patch sizes available 10mm and 12mm to help ensure complete coverage of different sized blemishes and are sealed in a few different packets enabling you to keep them clean.The first step is the ‘Help Me’ patches, to be used when the blemish is red, which contains salicylic acid to penetrate the pore to clear the blemish of impurities, in combination with Australian tea tree oil which is antiseptic and anti-microbial properties. It also includes Canadian willow herb and grape seed extract which both soothes and provides antioxidants for the skin to reduce redness and irritation. The ’Help Me’ patches have a matte finish and are relatively thin with a transparent finish, meaning that they aren’t very visible when applied to the skin and I was able to go out with it on and not feel self-conscious. I like that it protects spots from being touched and blends with your skin wellThe secondary step is the ‘Bye Bye Patches’ to be used when the blemish is white which contains hydrocolloid to draw out the impurities and promote healing in conjunction with centella asiatica and aloe vera to soothe inflammation. The ‘Bye Bye’ patches also have a matte finish but are thicker and therefore are opaquer then the first step. I tend to try and wear these when at home and overnight due to the fact they are more visible.Both types of patches adhere to the skin really well and stay in place. Once removed they don’t leave any sticky residue and neither caused any adverse reactions. The patches don’t necessarily make the spot go away any quicker but they do protect against external pollutants and help remove the impurities without scarring skin. They also help reduce inflammation and there are no nasties that could irritate the skin further.Priced at £17 (with an additional 25% off voucher valid until the 31st January 2024) at the time of reviewing, these are expensive but they included a good amount of ingredients which gently helps the inflammation and I particularly like that they protect against external pollutants and prevent you from subconsciously touching the area. Therefore I would be very happy to recommend these blemish patches.

These are fantastic patches. I've used various brands and versions over the years, and some work better than others. These are the best ones I've tried so far, simply because they're a two-step process, and the ingredients really seem to calm my skin. Very easy to use, simple instructions, I'm very pleased.Sand and Sky are a great brand, and don't test on animals, which is very important to me. I've used their products for years and can never fault the quality.These are on the expensive side, but worth it in my opinion. I will order more when needed :)

Good spot patches. Both my teenage daughter and I have used them with good results. These are two step patches. The first step for putting in inflamed spots, before they come to a head and the second to put on a white head. I put them on, when needed in an evening and leave overnight.They are very discreet looking and stay put. Very satisfying in the morning when you remove a patch and see the oil on the patch.They also stop the temptation to pick.Would recommend!

I have been a long time fan of Sand & Sky products so I was so happy to receive these pimple patches to try. I’m currently breaking out like crazy so it has been the perfect time to put them to the test.They are super easy to use, simply peel and stick to the affected area. They stay in place well too. I’ve been wearing them to bed and keeping them on overnight. In the morning, they are exactly where I left them. Given that they stick so well, I was worried they’d be sore to take off but this hasn’t been the case.They definitely help to reduce the redness and inflammation of my spots. They don’t leave any residue behind either.The patches have great spot fighting ingredients and while they are certainly not miracle workers, they are definitely welcome additions to my skincare kit.Happy to recommend 😊

It's nice to see the innovative asian product of blemish patches making its way to western markets as I always struggled to find these in the UK before. Not many have actually matched the quality of the Asian ones though - I don't think this is bad though I was skeptical previously.This comes with quite a lot of patches for the price, which is really nice, and the packs are sealed so that you can open one pack at a time without getting the rest dirty - useful for traveling. There are 2 types of patches included in this - one for the pimples that haven't quite come to the surface yet, and one for draining the ones that have, which is really quite innovative as the hydrocolloid ones aren't going to work on the ones that are still below the skin level. Tea tree and salicylic acid works wonders on inflamed pimples, so they might actually go away on it's own before getting to the surface.Overall I think these work relatively well, especially the hydrocolloid ones, and I would recommend as you get quite a lot for the price.

These patches stick onto the skin well. The Step One patches are thin and very difficult to see once stuck on your skin, so you can wear them outside. The Step 2 patches are much thicker, and a bit more opaque, so it looks quite obvious that there's something stuck on your face. In all honesty I didn't really notice any difference using these, they didn't seem to make spots go away any faster. The one good thing is they definitely help to stop you from touching spots. Perhaps they work better on different skin types.

These little hydrocolloid patches have changed the game of acne treatment and I love having a tiny patch that I can stick right on my skin to partially conceal blemishes. These stick well, even through sleeping and showering!

This kit has a unique 2 step process with a mix of salicylic acid and hydrocolloid patches. The patches adhere well to my skin and cover the redness of my breakouts. They are a bit visible if I apply makeup over them, but I use them to avoid getting any extra gunk into my already inflamed pore.

I like wearing transparent patches that aren't as noticeable to the eye. These are great as they stick well onto my face and lasts me throughout the night and the next day too until I shower!

Not a great product and did not work. caused chemical burns to my face

Although I am not a huge fan of the two step process considering some other products only need 1 patch applied, these are still pretty decent. The separation of salicylic acid for one patch and hydrocolloid for another may provide for better results but personally I did not see a major difference.That being said, the product works and hits all the positive points I look for in a blemish patch. They are small and rather descrete. Not enough to actively wear out in public, but you can't see them well from a short distance depending on where you put them. They also stick well. I had no issue wearing them overnight and I toss and turn and often sleep face down.They come in sleeve sets which are sealed but one thing I don't like is once you break the seal the whole set is open to the elements. Most other similar products are the same but I wish they discovered a better way to package.Overall not bad. Worth trying to see if the two step process works better for your skin than single step patches. You may be surprised in a good way by the results.
