LE GUSHE Korean Pimple Patches for Face (132 Dots) - Hydrocolloid Acne Patches with Tea Tree Oil - Invisible Zit Stickers - Dermatologist Tested - Korean Skin Care

I have chronic hormonal acne that has not gone away with years of both OTC treatments & prescription medication and was introduced to pimple patches a year ago as a method of dealing with the worst of it. I've been using different brands each time (and sharing them with my housemate) and bought this one because I thought the name was funny. But actually, out of the 6 brands I've tried, this is THE BEST. The packaging is great. The dots come on perforated paper (split down the middle of each row) so they are easy to remove from the plastic without creasing. The plastic sheets are not a bunch of tiny perforated squares but rather long strips that stay attached when you only take off one dot, so you are not dealing with throwing out a billion little slivers of plastic each time you use any. The bag comes with multiple sheets each in their own smaller packet that are easy to open, then the bag itself has a resealing zipper so the open packet stays fresh. The size of the dots is good, not too big and not too small. The dots are very good at staying put and I've even had them stay on just fine if I apply moisturizer or sunscreen on the surrounding skin and it accidentally gets on it. They've survived being out in the rain. I could get them to stay on places with beard/body hair even and they wouldn't yank it out when I removed them. The amount of gunk they soak up is great. If you have a particularly nasty refilling cyst/pimple, you do need to remember to remove it within a few hours or it has the chance of getting really mushy (and turning to goo when you try to peal it off), but this is expected behavior and better than 2 of the brands I tried that would only soak up to a certain point and then whatever formed past that would build up in/on the skin again. They are not completely invisible (no hydrocolloid patch is) but they are a lot less noticeable than most other brands. The only other one that did better was tinted tan to match the skin but only looked OK on certain skin tones (worked better on me than my tanner housemate), so I think untinted like these is the way to go. I don't know what CICA is but compared to patches that say they only contain tea tree oil, these handle inflamation way better. The skin is flatter and barely (if at all) red by the time I remove the patch. I tend to get really nasty deep pimples that refill repeatedly, but these patches have like a 90% success rate on preventing them from refilling because they deal with the inflamation that's causing it. Price wise, these are middle of the road (at least for the big 100+ packs), but it's better when they're on sale. Worth it regardless. TL;DR best pimple patches, highly recommend

Worked great and got the job done!!! It cleared up my blemishes overnight which really shocked me! Considering the luck I’ve had recently while trying so many different types of hydrocolloid patches. The one thing I would add to this line of products, if at all possible, would be to also make packages with either all “night time” or all “daytime patches. I tend to only use them at night so it would be more beneficial for me to buy a pack of just nighttime ones. UPDATE: I recently googled best hydrocolloid acne patches of 2021 and I was reading reviews on different websites about their picks for “Top 10” or “Top 15.” I was shocked to see this brand on some of the lists. I was even more shocked when I searched it on Amazon & learned I had previously purchased them & didn’t even remember! I’ve tried SO many different brands since then that I’ve lost track somewhere along the way. There are a few brands I really seem to LOVE, but they are SO pricey! Ive recently discovered a few companies that make & sell these patches on Amazon & not only have great results but are very cost-effective. I’ve got to where I don’t pay much attention to online reviews on these b/c SO many of them are fake or coerced. After seeing I had purchased these awhile back I wasn’t going to bother updating my review but after wearing them a few times I wanted to reiterate how effective they are. Some companies advertise how thin their patches are or they’ll say it contains salicylic acid or Teatree oil…. I’ve come to learn the basic patches, like these, with just hydrocolloid seem to work the best. The ones that contain “drying” ingredients for your acne also dry your skin out, which is a recipe for disaster when it comes to breakouts! Drying out your skin causes your body to produce even more oil & in return your skin will continue breaking out! When acne begins scabbing up it takes much longer to heal. Understandably the thicker patches can also absorb more fluid & in return stay moist which heals your skin so much faster than drying it up! I can’t say enough Great things about this brand!! There a little thicker than some other brands but that’s a GOOD thing when it comes to quickly clearing up your acne. *I already used a few of the patches in the picture but wanted to show how well these are made & how thick & durable they are!*

Acne patches really work

I wasn't expecting these to actually do anything to be honest, just bought them out of sheer hope/desperation... These facemasks had turned me into an acne ridden teenager! I used them on the spots I had already, over night and when I took them off in the morning, you could see the oils that had come out of my skin on the patch and the spots had cleared in 1/2 days! Then I used them on a couple of spots that were on their way (that bit where bits of your face are sore and swollen but everyone else thinks you're being a drama queen) and it brought them to a head over night, when I took the patches off in the morning, all the gunk came out with no squeezing (yummy right!). I put them on the next night and the following morning there was no trace of the little blighters left. Only few small downsides are that when you rip off the handy bit that lets you peel them off easier, you then have to use the rest of the strip (if you have a few spots, it's not an issue at all) and it hasn't really had any impact on the really deep spot that's taken up permanent residence on my left cheek and refuses to come to a head... Oh and I forgot I had them on a few times when I left the house, until my partner kindly announced to the world 'what are those round bits on your face?' no-one would have noticed until then (nice one!)
