Pimple patches

[Anonymous]

Are pimple patches actually any better than creams? Tween daughter claims she needs patches. I had to have her point out the pimples because I didn’t see any - there are some very small flesh colored bumps. Seems like patches would get very expensive after a while and not necessary for these kind of pimples. Am I missing something?

They might be sebaceous hyperplasia or milia. I’d have a derm look at it before treating.

They don't work.

Yea, I buy a lot of patches for two teens.

They work for me but not for all pimples. They only work if there is a white head.

IDK how well they work, but I worked at a community college and I suspect they were a life saver (from embarrassment) for some of my students

The Hero brand ones with the salicylic acid points have helped my DD’s milia and closed bumps a lot.

For whiteheads we use the regular pimple patches.

The ones that are colors/shapes are considered socially acceptable at my DD’s all-girls’ school and I wish I’d had that when I was her age.

I find pimple patches far more effective on “underground” pimples and whiteheads now that I’m in my perimenopause breakout era. I’m with your DD- they are worth it.

If there isn’t a white head, the ones with the micro points work really well.

They work great. Most importantly, they keep your fingers and nails off the pimple.

The patches really help get all the gunk out of the pimple. Then you can use the creams.

These work really well once you pop them to suck out allll the gunk, but not really before.

Thanks. These bumps have no gunk. I’ll pick up some Differin for her. I had terrible skin in high school so I’m happy to bring her to a dermatologist if needed or buy the patches, but this isn’t at all what she needs at this point.

I put them on before they are popped and then work well.

They work and also take the pain away from cystic acne, which is a huge bonus.
