COSRX Acne Pimple Patch (240 Count) Absorbing Hydrocolloid Spot Treatment Fast Healing, Blemish Cover, 3 Sizes

There is no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" solution. What works for my skin might not work for someone else's, and vice versa, so it's all a trial and error situation. I suffer from a variety of acne and have had the opportunity to test these patches on a number of different blemishes (lucky me!). I've also had the opportunity to try both of these and two other types of hydrocolloid bandages, so I can make an informed decision about which is the best, cheapest, and most worthwhile. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude. br>br>In my home, I've only worn all types, usually overnight. This type of product works best on "open" blemishes, though I did have some success using it on still-open blemishes. blemishes that have been covered up On occasion, they assisted in the removal of any remaining material from extracted blackheads, and they've done an excellent job of assisting open spots in not only emptying, but also healing without becoming dry and flaky. br>br>My first business venture was a NexCare brand of acne patches. They were effective at removing and absorbing the contents of a spot, but they didn't stick to even the cleanest skin with consistency. They didn't come off over night, but if I moved my face too much between applying the patch and going to bed, they'd come loose around the edges. They're also quite substantial in size. They're around 18 cents per patch. br>br>Next, I purchased the Corsx brand, which adheres to the skin far better (I've only ever had one come up around the edges, and that was when I forgot to remove moisturizer from the area before applying). They're a lot thinner than the Nexcare ones, and while I wouldn't wear them out and about, they're a lot less noticeable. They're probably as good as or better than Nexcare patches, but it's difficult to say. Finally, I bought a pack of blister bandages (target brand) and cut squares and strips from them to use. br>br>Finally, I bought a pack of blister bandages (target brand) and cut squares and strips from them to use. With an estimate of how many patches a bandage can hold, this is by far the most cost-effective option, at less than 5 cents per patch. Whether cutting up the bandages yourself into custom sizes is a positive or negative experience depends on the user (custom sizes are cool, but having to cut one off every time you need a patch, keeping track of falloff for future use, and making sure you have scissors on hand at all times are all drawbacks, no matter how minor they may appear). These didn't seem to work as well as the acne treatments: While the other two patches had clearly absorbed the contents of a blemish, these seemed to have? However, you could see where the blemish had been exposed beneath the patch. Is it capable of absorbing a lot of information, or is it only capable of preventing information from being released? Furthermore, the adhesive on these is much thicker, so while any and all patches I applied stuck, they stuck a little too well, and peeling them off was painful in some cases. br>br>At the end of the day, I'm all about doing what's best for my face, even if it means spending a little more money than a less effective alternative; additionally, I enjoy finding a better deal on what's best for my face when I can. That's where the multipack deal comes in handy! For ten packs of patches, the price per patch drops to about ten cents (heh), which is a better deal than the 18 cents Nexcare and a LOT better deal than the 5 cents generics, in my opinion. br>br>At the end of the day, my advice is: The Corsx brand and generic hydrocolloid bandages are both worth a shot. You'll save a lot of money if the generics work for you, and you can get them at any pharmacy. If you prefer the Corsx, get this multipack and stock up (they don't expire, unlike a lot of skincare products, so stocking up is a no-brainer for people with chronic recurring blemishes).

I've had full-coverage acne since I was about eight or nine years old (I know. Starting at such a young age is unheard of). Every product known to man has been used by me. Face masks of all kinds, the 20 step korean skin care routine, charcoal acne medication, medication from dermatologists (went up in dosage about 6 times before I just quit), proactive, nutrogena, clearasil, clean and clear, medication from dermatologists (went up in dosage about 6 times before I just quit), The list goes on and on, and I'm sure most of us have had similar experiences. THESE, ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE SUCCESSIVE. HOLY SHT, THESE WORKS ARE AMAZING. Everything is sucked out in ONE GOSH DARN NIGHT. I buy a large quantity at a time and go through about 5 packets per month, and I've never been happier or had such clear skin. Before going to bed, simply wash your face and apply the dots. I apply them wherever I see red beginning to appear, where I feel that "oh, it's a big one" pain under my skin, or where white heads have already appeared. TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS br>br> tricksbr>tricksbr>tricksbr>tricksbr>tricksbr> Before you put them on, make sure you wash your face. They function best in this mannerbr>- Put them on before you go to bed to get the most out of them. br>- If the skin on your face becomes red after peeling it off, wash it with cold water or apply an ice cube to it. br>- Do not apply a patch to the same location for more than two days in a row - irritates the skin and results in a red circlebr>- To make more, cut the large circles into smaller ones.

I've had this item for a year and this is the first time I've received some poor quality patches; the differences are stark; the normal patch would look like the left one in the photo, whereas the poor ones are yellowish, thinner, and stickier, and most importantly, they can't absorb anything! It can only leave a strong sticky residue on your skin and does nothing to help with acne. Only 2 of 2010 are of good quality, which means 80% of this order is wrong! It hurts me a lot:.

I wish these patches could be used to make an entire mask. They work like a MAGIC. br> br>I have no idea how they function. I leave one on overnight, and the next morning, the patch has turned whitish, and the pimple has flattened and is no longer painful. What is the mechanism behind this? Amazing. br>My skin is a nightmare. I've tried just about every type of spot treatment available. I'm on a couple of dermatologist's prescriptions, and I clean, tone, treat, and moisturize my skin meticulously. Despite being a model patient, I currently have two GIANT pimples on my chin. br>However, hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Because I now have Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patches, I am confident that I will win. I am the PIMPLE MASTER OF ACNE! br>God, I've been looking for these my whole life.

The ones that arrived, however, were all defective, with tiny white specks and small air bubbles trapped beneath some patches. I tried a few on some white heads that were clearly visible, and they didn't work at all. I was extremely dissatisfied with myself for being duped into thinking I'd save money, only to waste a significant amount of time going through the return and refund process. Don't waste your money on this worthless ten-pack!.

I purchased from "BeautyParts" and believe I received fake Cosrx patches. The counterfeit ones were thicker, less smooth, and tended to lift up around the edges, which I didn't realize until I went out and bought some from Walmart. Inside the packages, some of the patches had melted parts or lines cut through them, indicating that they had been damaged. It was only after I opened the package that I realized what was going on. I didn't notice the numerous minor differences in typeface and wording because the package was so well-made. They still functioned, but not quite as well as the originals. The genuine Cosrx patches were thin, smooth, and adhered well to clean skin until they were peeled off. After a few hours, the fake ones would naturally fall off.
