Work with sensitive skin I've always struggled with constantly having two or three blemishes, even in my 30s, which I think is due to my pores too easily sucking in germs and dirt than anything else (yeah, gross). I don't have acne like you see on commercials, I won't pretend to know that struggle, but it still gets me down, especially since I end up impulsively picking and scarring, leading to needing makeup to feel confident. Nothing has worked (I've tried SO many things and have been vigilant) like these do. When I start to notice a spot, I pop one of these on so I can't touch it, and somehow the spot fades (I want to say it's like magic but that's real cliche). Not entirely and not so much I don't have to wear makeup, but it doesn't get worse and it definitely is smaller the next day. I also have pretty sensitive skin, so anything can burn me, but these don't. I wear them in private, as you can tell you're wearing them (even though they're "day" patches), but even if you use one from 10pm to the next morning it helps. This isn't medical advice, but I wear one every night (or as soon as possible when I notice a blemish forming) until the spot doesn't react to touch (meaning the swelling/infection has gone down so that it isn't that sore feeling like when it first crops up) and then it's pretty clear I'm out of the woods; if I catch it early enough I only have to use one.
Ok I had previously tried the other pack of patches by COSRX in the red package and they did ok. I believe they come in different sizes, these however, do not. I had a very sore pimple on my shoulder so I used one of these and noticed it went down the next morning.. BUT the pimple felt harder and more sore than it was. I tried on some smaller pimples and you can see where something comes out, it helps if the pimple has a head, as others have stated.

These are my go to for reducing my blemishes! I use them over night or even just a few hours to help draw out pimples. I like how they can be used with exposure to sunlight and aren't super noticeable when applied, unlike some acne patches. Plus they're pretty affordable!

I've used Cosrx pimple patches in the red box and I love them, so I decided to give this one try. I feel like they are effective but I only went with these because it said you can wear them under makeup and I assumed that meant it would be not so noticeable. Except they aren't thin enough for it to be under makeup because you would see the patch. That was the only down fall I would say.

I love COSRX pimple patches! I'd buy these constantly they are my ride or die. They have the red package and the black package the red package I love so much they're a little bit thicker they're great for overnight they suck up more of the pimple pus but I feel like you get too many small small sizes that go to waste unless you have like little tiny blackheads are pimples near your lab or in crease of nose. So although I do by the red package from time to time I've been more leaning towards the black package they're thinner you could wear them out and put make up over them are they noticeable well of course they are if somebody staring at your face long enough they're gonna see it but with the mask they're not LOl but these are ready for bed and they truly make a big difference your pimple is definitely decreased by the next day the more you wear them the more pus comes out. Sometimes you need to do it one night sometimes you need to do it two or three nights if I have a pimple that is Chyna extracted but still kind of feeling I will wear it to work just so I don't have any extra irritation from my mask as I do work in the health field and I'm wearing one all day long. I love these patches I hope they never go away they are one of my favorites besides the zip stickers with micro darts. You will not be Disappointed with this product at all! Another thing I like better about the black packaged ones are they are a bigger size so you get a little bit less but you get the bigger size ones that I feel like you'll actually use them all and won't let any go to waste.
had high hopes.. they were crushed. 1
