Alba Botanica Acnedote Pimple Patches for Face - Pimple, Spot Patches - Hydrocolloid Skincare Patches - 40 Count

As an adult with acne (so unfair), I’ve tried tons of pimple patches. These ones stick and work the best of any others I’ve tried. I can do my usual skincare, let it dry, and put on one of these patches. They don’t move and they blend in really well, so I can wear it during the day at work if needed.

Easy to use & sticks really well. Put it on before bed and take it off in the morning for a couple days, blemish goes down a lot. Get remaining stickiness off with alcohol. I have sensitive skin and never had any sort of reaction to these.

So I bought three different types at Christmas to split between me and my two daughters, and I will say that this one rivals the effects of the much more expensive brand I purchased with microneedles. I'm not afraid to use these on a smaller pimple, and ration them out, because you get quite a few for the price, and the effects so far have been the same.I will say that all three brands have left my face with dry skin patches that need to be babied, but as far as reducing the size of your pimple, they do that. They will not remove the head of course, you will need to either get that out (gently and carefully!), or wait for it to dissolve on it's own. I find that I do need to use them for a couple of days on some, but that's because I get deeper acne.They greatly reduce the size of cystic "grounders" (as my daughter calls them), overnight, and you can then cover them if you need to go out. I find that just having the inflamation reduced helps reduce the pain on any large ones and BONUS...again, not afraid to use them because they're at such a great price. I've never used acne patches before, but I can't say I see a huge difference between the three types except the ones with salicylic acid and tea tree work a bit better on deeper pimples, but again...baby that resulting dryness so you're not then tempted to pick at the dry skin and leave yourself with red marks that need to fade anyways.Overall, out of all the ones I researched, and the 3 highest rated of three price points...I like these the best.

These are the best pimple patches I’ve ever used. They work quickly and really get all of the junk out of my pores. They’re thin and comfortable to wear, too. They don’t feel stiff or thick.

I like that this packaging contains less plastic waste, and these are a good value for the money. I keep these in a drawer where they are less likely to get wet, so a paper box is fine for me. When I put them in my dop kit I seal them in a snack sized ziplock to keep them dry, though. The individual sheets are sealed. The sheets are small, which means you are unsealing fewer at a time. These patches are a tiny bit thinner than some brands and a little harder to apply smoothly, but if you succeed they are also slightly less conspicuous. They also become gummy if left on for a long time and can be more difficult to remove. I always swab the treatment area with a tiny bit of alcohol before and after applying them, though, which helps with adhesion before, and removes residue if there is any after. Just make sure it dries fully before applying the spots. I would prefer it if they were all the larger size, but the smaller size is still big enough. I can’t tell that the additional ingredients-tea tree oil or whatever- have any benefits, but these work fine.

I have tried so many of these pimple patches and always come back to this brand. I like them better than Hero and Mighty patches which I know are very popular. These are thinner, stay on better and pull out more gunk than any other brand I've tried. I can use these during the day and they aren't super noticeable, and it prevents me from touching or picking at my acne. I prefer to use them at night because they eventually fill up and become more noticable the more it pulls out, but that just means it's doing a dang good job. I've got these on a refill subscription Brevard they are so regularly used!

Best patches on the market! They have been a life saver for my skin on so many occasions. Highly recommend!

I tried this on a whim after my beloved Skyn Iceland blemish dots were discontinued. These are suuuuper sticky...like, there's almost a residue after you peel it off, and it gets all stretchy and gummy as you remove it. Every time I remove one of these I feel like I'm about to have to pull it off in half a dozen sticky little pieces, and then I'm always kinda surprised when it doesn't actually snap after all the stretching. I guess most importantly, these really don't work that well. Does the usual hydrocolloid thing where it turns white over your pimple, so you think it's actually working...until you take it off and realize you still have a pimple underneath. At best, if I put this on a zit overnight it might become easier to pop in the morning, and even that is only if it had already come to a head before the patch was placed. Otherwise, the only thing I can say reliably is that blemishes at least don't ever get bigger overnight when I have one of these on it. But if like me you had higher expectations than that, keep looking. I won't repurchase.
