TONYMOLY I'm Charcoal All Over Blemish Patch

Most Helpful Positive Review

Works like a charm!

So I have REALLY stubborn acne. Like painful, obvious, bumpy acne. It's awful. Well I tried these patches on a whim. Now full disclosure, I didn't read the instructions (that's my bad) and was using them during a spa night with my daughter so we were snacking as I was wearing them (only then did I r...ead the package to see how long they were meant to stay for, that's my bad). I noticed after I'd finished eating that the one on my chin was loose. I think this is my fault as I was moving it rather than putting it on before bed and going straight to sleep like the directions called for. I also messed up the placement on the nose so it was partially covering my nostrils and I couldn't stand the feeling all night so I did take it and the chin patch off early for these reasons. That being said, it was clear even though those patches were taken of 5-6 hours earlier than intended they were doing WORK. You could clearly see where my zits were on the patch from the guck left behind (for lack of better term). The forehead and cheek patches stayed on without issue the entire night. The cheek one is especially satisfying for me as I had an AWFUL zit right in my jaw so I made sure the patch covered it. This morning when I took off the patch not only was it nasty on the inside but my zit was flat and only a light pink mark left behind. Given how bad it was I consider this a win. I imagine a few nights of consistent use would clear it up entirely. I want to specifically note that the patches didn't look like all over bad - I could clearly see where the zits on my face were in relation to the patches so that gives me confidence it's actually working and not just made to look like it's working. With all that being said, I do have two cons. The first and foremost being size. the forehead, nose, and chin are all actually decent sizes at least compared to my face. But the cheek patches? I'd say most people's cheeks take up the most surface area on your face but the cheek patches were quite small in comparison. That's why I actually used the cheek patches where I did rather than where they were intended as there was no way for them to reach my jawline from where they were intended to be placed. I think theyre the perfect size for my 3.5 year old (who obviously has no use for them lmao) but this is to give you an idea of cheek size haha. Honestly they may even be small on her! Secondly they're difficult to apply, or at least some of them were. Lots of packaging and then it's hard to get off the film. You open up the package, peel off the backside, place on your skin, then theoretically peel back the top film leaving behind the mask. But instead I found myself picking at the edges so I could hold the mask down while I pulled away the film. Once it's on though it's on unless you're talking/eating/otherwise stretching it out etc. overall GREAT mask, loved the results even from the ones that didn't get as much time as it wanted (so imagine my results had I used the nose and chin one for as long as recommended!) and will use again absolutely! It's absolutely worth trying if you have rough acne like I do
