Most Helpful Positive Review They really do help. I am currently going through some medical issues that cause me to suddenly fall asleep without warning when I am sitting at places like my desk and working. These patches really do the trick. I do still nod off occasionally, but not nearly at the rate that I do without the patch on.
I do have to agree though with a few other comments that I have seen here, the adhesive is horrible. As soon as I put it on the edges are already coming up, and if there is any sweating at all, the patch is off, no convincing it to stay on. When that happens, I kinda feel like it was a waste of $$ to even try to put it on, but I need to be awake. I live in South Tx, you can sweat here while standing in a freezer. One time I went through a whole box of patches in 45 minutes, just trying to get one to stay. I was using medical tape, duct tape, anything I could find trying to keep it on, finally sports wrap worked, but no one should have to go through all of that, to get a patch to stay in place, That really is the only issue with these patches and while it's kinda a big issue, the benefits of this patch outweigh the hassle and I will keep getting them. I LOVE these patches and tell just about anyone who will listen about them.
Most Helpful Critical Review Broke me out in a rash..and didn't even get an energy boost! Got this for free in a gift with purchase and have been meaning to try it for a while. I put it on before I went to the gym. First and foremost, this patch is not discreet. It's orangey in color and wouldn't match anyone's skin tone. I usually drink a pre-workout with caffeine in it but opted to just use the patch so I could see how well it worked by itself. I had it on for about 40 minutes before I started working out in order to give it enough time to start working, but didn't feel any sort of boost. I did about 20 minutes of cardio and was about to pull up my sleeves and use a weight machine when I saw what looked like either red dye or a severe iritation around the edge of the patch along with random spotches of red in the middle of the patch (see photos). I got extremely nervous about what this potentially was doing to my skin so I immediately took the patch off and then went to the bathroom to cleanse the area. I used soap and water to remove the red dye and saw that it did in fact break me out in a rash along the perimeter of the patch, but strangely not in the middle. It's about 4 hours after now and the rash is still there. I do NOT have sensitive skin and have never had a reaction like this before. Definitely skip this!!

Picked this up after a late night shift for a quick pick me up. Worked within 30 minutes. kept me awake for a few hours. No crash, easy to take off but I did leave me with some residue over the area.
It's a no 1
Danielle from Nebraska
Tried putting it on multiple places including wrist and top of foot. Itching was unbearable, gave me a headache and no energy boost
Didn't work 1
Marie from Charlotte NC
I brought it for an enery boost because I do not drink coffee. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I also bought the dream melatonin patch and the same result
Headache 2
Carter B from Michigan
I wish I could say I liked this. I got this as a free sample and wore it to work yesterday, it definitely gives you a boost but omg the headache that came with it!!! Its also not discreet at all, red stuff was leaking from it, just not for me.
I would probably buy this again 3
Dani from Alabaster, Alabama
The patch didn't adhere very well, nor did I feel any super drastic results. overall I would consider buying this product again.

I LOVE these 5

I need like a bulk pack of these. They're great
Did not work at all 1
Sleepy reviewer from ATL
I was hopeful for these cool patches because I'm very sensitive to caffeine but constantly tired and wanted a more natural approach. Unfortunately these did nothing for me and left weird bright red residue on my wrist. It came off easy with a little soap and water but I feel like that shouldn't be an issue in the first place. Had high hopes but they did absolutely nothing on two separate days. Seems like a hit or miss product in the comments.
Works Great! Not discrete. 3
Ckroeker from Lincoln, NE
This patch did its job making me feel more awake. I had no skin irritation. There was some pink residue on my wrist, but it's very easy to remove with soap and water. My only issue is that it's definitely not discrete. It's supposed to be a "skin" color but it's way darker than my skin and sticks out like a sore thumb. People asked me about it all day long. Wouldn't it be nice if it was a clear film so it matched ALL skin tones?
Tacky to look at, doesn't do anything 3
Lisann from Pittsburgh, PA
I wonder if they have you put it on your wrist so other people will notice and then ask you about it? Free advertising I suppose. There are plenty of other places on the body that have good absorption through the skin. That being said, I don't think it works at all.
After a few hours it fell off and I found my dog chewing it. So it'll be a waiting game tonight to see if he gets sick or not. Awesome!
AVOID if you have a sensitive stomach!!! 3

Made me extremely sick! hot flashes, dizzy, vomiting, and extreme urge to use the restroom. BE CAREFUL
Removing hurts 2
Indy701 from Texas
I didn't really notice anything from the patch but it didn't bother me so I left it on all day. Taking it off was painful. I had to use a lot of soap to get the adhesive to separate from my skin. Not worth it.
Great pick me up 4
LoLo2379 from SD
I received this product as a gift. I put it on at 7:30 am and felt very energized for the rest of the morning. By 10am the edges did start to lift a little and the patch started turning pink but I didn't have any of the other issues people have mentioned. Is definitely a great alternate to a caffeinated drink in the morning. Looking at the price it seems a bit high for 4 patches but it is something I may purchase again.
It did nothing 1
Chris from Fl
This thing did absolutely nothing for me. I really had big hopes for it but very disappointed.
Works, but irritated my skin 2
Lopez from Henderson, nv
It was easy to put on, got immediate energy that lasted throughout the day. Put the patch on around 7:30 am, by 12 pm it started lifting and started irritating my skin. I took off the patch around 2 pm because it was bothering me.
Awake 4
Connie H. from undsiclosed
I have used three of the patches. I was hoping for a more noticeable energy level. I don't like the fact that there is a red liquid under and around the edges of the patch.
I will continue to use and hope for better results.
AMAZING 5
Rose from Lancaster
My FAVORITE wellness item. Works better than coffee and I'm also able to focus so much better. Highly recommend for studying and work days!
Shocked me! 5
Angelfalls85 from Lubbock
I recieved this today as a free gift. I applied it to my left wrist and after awhile I noticed that there was a red outline around the patch itself which was very ugly to look at as well as sticky. BUT... I actually felt very energetic for several hours which does make sense because I am caffeine sensitive and this patch contains 15mg it says you can wear for up to 12 but I had mine on for about 5. I will try this patch again tomorrow to see if I get the same effect. P.s. The red outline was easily washed off with soap and water and I experienced no rash/side effects.
Terrible 3
Ashleigh from AR
This was so uncomfortable to wear. I had weird pins and needles / tingles in my fingers on my left hand after putting it on my wrist. It did nothing to make me feel less tired and I took it off because my skin started going a weird red color underneath it. These are also weird to remove and left stuff behind on my skin. I wouldn't use this again even as a free sample.
Loved!! And no jitters or sickness 5
Tara S. from undsiclosed
I was given a free sample in an ulta free gift a few days ago. I apply it today & wow. It helped me move through so smoothly & feel like myself. No ups and downs. Wow! This is an amazing patch. And totally safe!! Where have you been all my life?!?
Turns my arm red 2
Lauren from undsiclosed
I’m not noticing a difference. My main concern is that this turns my arm red. It’s like a red dye is oozing out from the underside.
Great 5

Works well, but over priced 3
MamaK from Ormond Beach, FL
I received this as a sample. Today was a good day to try it out. It's a Monday. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night and I don't drink caffeine (ever). I was struggling this morning to stay focused so I placed the patch on my wrist. I noticed a difference maybe an hour after. I had stopped yawning and felt more alert. So I headed to ulta.com because how can I live without these in my life!? Sadly, once I pulled them up, they were pretty expensive. I'll be searching the internet for something comparable that isn't so pricey.
Gave Me a Rash 1
Gab from Denver, CO
About 2 hours into wearing it I noticed I could see red splotches showing through so I pulled the patch off and I had a rash that looked like red broken veins. The area feels sensitive almost like a sunburn. I also didn't feel any more energetic or awake and still had to go buy a second cup of coffee to get through my day. Not worth it at all!
Better then a cup of 5
Megan D. from undsiclosed
Better then a cup of coffee to get me going. A nice extra boost for work days.
