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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

One of the most dcum things i've read this month....

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

They don't work.
