COSRX Acne Pimple Patch Absorbing Hydrocolloid Original 3 Size Patches for Blemishes and Zits Cover, Spot Stickers for Face and Body, Not Tested on Animals (72)

As a lucky sort who has chronic acne in her thirties, I have spent the last 20 years or so figuring out the best ways to control and heal blemishes. There's no one size fits all approach-- what works for my skin won't necessarily work for someone else, and vice cersa, so everything is a test and see sort of situation. I get all sorts of acne, and have had the chance to try these patches on a variety of blemishes (lucky me!). I've also had a chance to try both these and two other types of hydrocolloid bandages, so I have a thorough comparison of what's best, what's cheapest, and what's worth the money. You're welcome. I've exclusively worn all types in my home, generally overnight. This type of product works best on blemishes that are "open," although I had some middling success applying them to still-closed blemishes. They helped to pull some remaining stuff out of extracted blackheads on occasion, and have done a great job helping open spots not only empty, but heal, without getting dry and flaky. My first venture was another brand of acne patches from NexCare. They were effective in terms of pulling out and absorbing the contents of a spot, but they didn't stick reliably, even to very clean skin. They wouldn't come off overnight, but if I moved my face too much between applying the patch and going to sleep, they'd come unstuck around the edges. They're also fairly thick. Per patch, they cost about 18 cents. Next, I bought the Corsx brand. They stick infinitely better (I've only ever had one that came up around the edges, and only then when I forgot to remove moisturizer from the spot before I applied). They're much thinner and, while I wouldn't wear them out and about, they're far less visible than the Nexcare ones. They at least or more effective than the Nexcare patches, but it's a tough thing to measure. They cost roughtly 25 cents apiece when you buy just one pack, so they're definitely more expensive. Finally, I bought a pack of blister bandages (target brand) and cut of squares and strips from them to use. Making some assumptions about how many patches one could get out of a bandage, this is by FAR the most economical option at less than 5 cents per patch. Whether or not cutting up the bandages yourself into custom sizes is a negative or a positive will depend on the user (custom sizes are cool, but having to cut one off each time you need a patch, keeping track of falloff for future use, making sure you have scissors handy at all time are all drawbacks, however minimal they may seem). These were not as demonstrably effective as the ones designed for acne: while the other two patches had visibly absorbed the contents of a blemish, these sorta kinda had? You could tell where the blemish had been open under the patch but... did it absorb much of anything, or did it just keep stuff from coming out? Dunno. On top of that, the adhesive on these is much more substantial, so while any and all patches I applied stuck, they stuck a little too well, and peeling them off in some instances was painful. In the end, I'm all about doing what is best for my face, even if it hurts my wallet a little more than a less effective alternative. Moreover, I like finding a better deal on what's best for my face when I can. Which is where this multipack deal comes in! For 10 packs of patches the price per patch drops to about ten cents a pop (heh), which for what is in my opinion a better product than the 18 cents apiece Nexcare and a MUCH better product than the 5 cents apiece generics. My advice, in the end: Try the Corsx brand and the generic hydrocolloid bandages. If the generics work for you, you'll save quite a bit of money, and you can pick them up at any drugstore. If you prefer the Corsx, buy this multipack and save a bunch and always have them on hand (they don't expire, unlike a lot of skincare items, so stocking up is a no-brainer for people with chronic recurring blemishes).

Works great for stubborn pimples on the face and body. Non irritating. Best used overnight after showering. You might have to use a couple of times for larger pimples, but they do the trick. Pads sometimes come off, but I just put a band-aid overnight to keep them in place. Make sure your skin is completely dry before applying. Amazing and a good value for the amount of pads you receive. I love Cosrx products. Love their snail mucin products.

Started using these as recommended by my daughter. THESE WORK! I keep them in my makeup kit for unexpected blemishes. Put them on before bed or when I get home and sleep in them. I’m impressed at how effective they are. They come in various sizes and they stay put once you apply it onto your skin. I find my blemishes go away overnight, depending on how severe they are. I think the price is fair for what these little stickers do. Easy to apply and easy to remove.. They do come off in the shower so I recommend pulling them off before you get in the shower. A repeat purchase for sure!

This used to be a 5 star item, but is still pretty great. I find myself wishing there were unassorted sizes, since more tiny ones would do me more good than large ones, but agree that I'm probably an outlier in this regard. Inside this cellophane packet is 10 sealed envelopes with ziplock type seals, not unlike packets of say, beef jerky. Inside each sealed envelope is another "envelope," where the product is sealed further by being sandwiched between two more sheets of plastic that have been glued together at the seams. You unstick these seams and the product comes pre-stuck onto another sheet of plastic that you slide out (the backing sheet). They used to include a smaller version of this backing sheet on top of the product inside. This secondary backing sheet helped protect the product against humidity, and I live in a humid area. So, sadly, the product can have a limited shelf life once the seal is broken, and the product will start to blister, rendering it more difficult to stick, and therefore less useful. Otherwise, works great. Sometimes hard to get off with a fingernail without flipping the edge into itself. Might consider using a knife or similar.

Es un excelente producto, para esas pequeñas imperfecciones es mágico, para las imperfecciones que son un sufrimiento por problemas hormonales son una gran ayuda. Debo admitir que sí se ven, pero yo no uso maquillaje.

25euro le pack de 10 soit 2.50euro l’unité, c’est le meilleur rapport qualité prix que j’ai trouvé. J’ai découvert ce produit lors de mon voyage en Corée du Sud. C’est une excellente marque et pour avoir essayé de nombreux patch de plusieurs marques et origines, c’est mes favoris. Avantages: - rapport qualité prix - s’utilise vite donc on en a en avance - les patchs sont épais ce qui aide beaucoup pour les gens comme moi qui touchent leurs boutons toute la journée - fonctionne mieux que la majorité - plusieurs tailles pour adapter - tiens bien si la peau est sèche et propre - fait mûrir ou disparaître les boutons plus rapidement Inconvénient: - ils ne peuvent pas être portés dehors comme certains patch qui sont plus fin et donc discrets - si vous l’enlevez trop tôt, ça éclate parfois le bouton. Il faut bien nettoyer, désinfecter, laisser sécher un peu puis remettre un patch Attention à bien le changer toutes les 24h! Personnellement, je ne m’en passe plus et ça me sauve car ça empêche parfois certains kystes de sortir!

Pas convaincue, il me semble que les compeed marchent mieux

貼って翌朝起きると腫れがなくなってる！ リピートしてます。

I love this product! When I have a spot coming or undergrad spot, I pop one of these on overnight to help bring the blemish out. The patch will turn white when it has done so, bringing the yuck to the surface. You can then gently squeeze and the stuff will come out of the spot. Leaving you with no scarring instead of squeezing the life out of spots. I don’t wear in the day as I wear makeup. These are a beauty must have! I reorder whenever I run out. The product range and quality of this brand are very good.
