Amazon Basic CareAdvanced Fast Healing Hydrocolloid Gel Bandages, Regular 20[Amazon-developed Certification] Compact by Design

These hydrocolloid bandages have been a lifesaver for me. I struggle with hidradenitis flare-ups, and instead of waiting in pain for them to pop on their own, these help speed up the process in a much more comfortable way. They draw everything out gently and give me so much relief. On top of that, they stay on well and are easy to use. Definitely a must-have if you deal with flare-ups or need something that actually works!

I had to cover a few spots on my face (that had been biopsied) so decided to give these a try. I would say their sticking power is fine if you put them on dry skin. What I liked about them was that I could still wear makeup (working around them) and they didn't stand out like the regular bandaids would yet covered the area I needed to cover without the area that had been biopsied being seen. Because they were treated, made this a win/win for me. (Maybe Dermatologists should use these instead). I would recco these all day!

These go on and DO not come off easily. Also, They work amazing!!!!*CAUTION* Not the band aid to put on your toddlers imaginary bobos. It has a few day recommendation, however, when I tried to remove one it was like I was tearing my flesh. I’m a super wimp, so I will leave the remaining ones on until they fall off I guess. Be patient. This is not a remove daily and redress situation if you are a weak ab like I am!!!!

i heard these work really well as an alternative to pimple patches for overnight & they are great for when there are multiple pimples in one place. it is sooo sticky that it’s almost hard to get off haha. they don’t work quite as well as a pimple patch, but great for covering larger surface areas

These are PHENOMENAL! I've struggled with adult acne for a year, and got these instead of the expensive brand of zit patches at Target. These worked so much better, and stayed in place all night! I woke up, and a very angry cystic acne pimple on my forehead is nearly entirely gone after just one night! I also applied these after my skincare, and they stuck on all night. I cut one of them in half, for a smaller area, and it also stuck through the night! I will definitely be buying these again!

As someone who has struggled with cystic adult acne for 25 years, and tried every treatment (antibiotics, Accutane, all topical, etc)...these are the absolute best acne treatments that exist. None even compare.While most treatments take days to clear small acne and feels to clear large cystic pimples, these will eliminate small ones over night and large cystic in two or three days. Even cystic pimples show massive improvement overnight. Even faster that the steroid shots dermatologists give.While I ussually wear overnight, I have been able to wear during the day and the bandages match my skin tone near perfect. Very low visibility.While this usually a no no, they work fastest after the cystic has been popped or is at least open. So using a small demotological lance first makes them draw out the gunk even faster.Keep in mind then first day or two using in a new area may cause a small break out of new pimples, as it draws out gunk thats not visible. But the next days use should clear that up as well.You can even flex them to stick them in the crevices on the edge of your nose that is normally inaccessible, clearing that area too. The sides of my nose are clear for the first time in twenty years. Overall use of these has cleared my skin better than even Accutane did, without the side effects.Miracle badges, I recommend for everyone who has acne issues.

I’m torn because these are the only bandages that helped heal eczema sores on my legs and they work GREAT for that, but they also trigger my latex sensitivity basically anywhere else.I burned my inside upper arm while making dinner, and put the larger size bandage on right away to avoid issues. After four days it was healing well, but I couldn’t stand it anymore and bought some Bandaid brand ones that are explicitly latex-free. The skin where the bandage was is still red, inflamed, hot, and itchy two days later.

I love hydrocolloid bandages. They keep wounds moist for faster healing, provide cushion for comfort, and minimize scaring. These are waterproof and amazing. I use them for blisters or any wounds where the skin is broken. The bandage forms a waterproof seal around the wound. Wound exudite is drawn out and absorbed by the bandage, evidenced by the white bubble that forms. This wet moist bandage keeps the wound clean but more importantly acts as a type of cellular "scaffolding" so that new tissue has somewhere to grow from/on.Using these bandages prevents scabs from forming. Scabs hurt, can limit range of motion, take a long time to heal, and leave scars.I'm not sure why hydrocolloid bandages are not more known or utilized in USA. I used one for a bunch biopsy wound site after getting a mole removed. The post surgical wound healing paperwork said to use aquafor or petroleum jelly to keep the wound moist and loosely cover with gauze. I found this to be messy and gross. The hydro colloid bandage achieved all the jelly would and was a much cleaner and dryer solution.To my surprise, when I mentioned it to my dermatologist (resident) she didn't seem to even know what it was? I'm really shocked that she didn't seem to know about it. I'm equally shocked that general public doesn't seem to know about hydrocolloid bandages either. Everyone thinks you have to "air it out" for wound care, however, if you want to heal faster and with less scaring, keep it moist and let your body heal itself.The bandage can last up to 7 days. However with a lot of wound exudite and weepiness in the beginning stages of healing, (moisture/liquid from the wound) the bandage needs to be changed more frequently. This will be obvious in the white portions and or if the seal of the bandage has been compromised and weeps out.
