It's suggested that you wait until your breakout has come to a head before popping one of these on. These pimple patches use hydrocolloid (a fancy word for an opaque dressing for a wound) to flatten the blemish and make sure your breakout isn't exposed to any more bacteria. After 6+ hours, you'll see the stars turn opaque, which means they're ready to remove!
Nothing is worse than trying to heal a pimple and drying it out too much so that you're left with flaky skin. Not so with this treatment! Much like the Starface option, they're made from hydrocolloid that'll protect and heal your blemishes. Plus, they're waterproof and come in multiple sizes!
That's right, these cute little circle patches aren't just for pimples. Peace Out (one of the O.G. pimple patch brands) created micro-needling stickers for dark spots too. If you've ever had a breakout and been left with an annoying dark spot, these dots can help. They're formulated with ingredients such as licorice extract and niacinamide to help lighten hyperpigmentation.
Of all the patches listed here, these babies may be one of the easiest to wear out in public (sorry, Starface!). In addition to helping quell breakouts, they also reduce inflammation and redness. We also love that Rael's products are all made sustainably.
These "facelift" patches help to minimize the look of wrinkles and lines by helping to trap moisture in your complexion, leaving it feeling bouncy and dewy. Plus, they're reusable.
