Large Acne Pimple Patches for Face, 6 Sizes 142 Counts Big Hydrocolloid Bandages for Body, Forehead, Chin, Nose, Neck & Chest(Round, Oval, Moon, Square)

This pimple patch set turned out to be surprisingly useful for everyday breakouts. The hydrocolloid patches stick well, stay on through the night, and peel off gently without irritating the skin, which makes them easy to use regularly. After a few hours, especially overnight, whiteheads usually look flatter and less red, and it also helps stop the habit of touching or picking at spots. The mix of different sizes feels practical rather than gimmicky, and the large 300-count pack makes it feel like good value if breakouts are a recurring issues.

First of all, I didn't really think about it when I bought it, but this is more for people with one or few pimples at a time. If you have a skin issue or an active breakout, you'll need to be plastering half your face, and of course, it will look ridiculous for daytime use in public. Further, the patch will not necessarily hold for 8hrs, or even for a few hours, it may partially pull away relatively quickly upon application as it draws the infection out - in spite of you picking a larger size to broadly contain the pimple - halfway flopping in the wind. It's challenging especially with acne and pimples that haven't come to a head. There's simply too much infection underneath for it to work and stay on. To explain, as the patch gets soaked, it soon separates from the skin. (I was asked in email if I cleaned my face beforehand as a possible culprit for not sticking. Of course, I applied it to clean face. I had no problem to stick it to my face, but as it starts doing its job, as soon as it's a little soaked it starts peeling off.) Then, I have barely ever put this patch on and had it resolve a breakout in 8 hours. It just does NOT happen. Even for pimples, not acne, it happened constantly that the patch can't draw the pimple out, and I have to reapply over and over and over, finally turning that whole area into a dry, scaly patch due to salicylic acid irritation - and the pimple is still there. For the record, I don't have the pimple popper type Godzilla size acne, just acne & pimples that refuse to readily come to a head. I'm 40 and still having to deal with this stuff, while people who eat garbage all day long have clear faces. Oh well. I'll deal with it. I still haven't fully fixed my face, but I have made some progress. More in the next paragraph. If your breakouts are like mine (all around the jaw) this is typically hormonally induced and any product effects are possible, but may be limited, so it helps to be moderate in expectations and build up with a multiprong approach: - If you can afford it, the best thing to do is to have a comprehensive hormone test and consult a dermatologist and an endocrinologist. If your skin is oily and/or you have acne, typically your androgens will be high or out of balance with your estrogen, or there will be some other hormonal imbalance. If you just try to fix this with surface methods, it might not work out; - For more naturopathic minded people, or for PCOS folks who didn't do well on the prescriptions or the Pill and went off. There is some anecdotal evidence around that spearmint may potentially be effective in relieving PCOS symptoms because it reduces androgen levels. Spearmint seems to be reducing testosterone itself. It didn't really have much effect for me, but a lot of women swear by it. Saw palmetto seems to target DHT directly, it's very popular and helps men and women with PCOS, just be cautious with the dose and saw palmetto in general if you're a woman, because it might actually elevate your androgens and make things worse. Some of these supplements and herbs are highly dose dependent and tables can completely get flipped with improper dosing, or maybe they don't suit your particular situation at all. PCOS symptoms and manifestations can vary wildly. Another option women use is myoinositol with chiroinositol, to help them balance estrogen with testosterone; -You already know that you should have a clean diet, but do you know why? High carbs/sugar and oral caffeine consumption (unlike topical) both elevates DHT, which promotes sebum production and therefore breakouts; -Leaky gut can also cause or worsen acne, in that case you need to identify and eliminate your food sensitivities or allergies, an elimination diet, maybe do low FODMAP diet, some good supplements to help you heal are collagen and zinc carnosine for faster gut lining repair, and any anti inflammatory food also helps. I'm not just preaching, had to do this myself; -I achieved some improvement using an LED mask (red and blue light). You don't need an expensive one, the difference is mainly comfort, number and placement of lights, but all of them have regular LED diodes and work just the same. This is what helped me the most, I ordered one online for about $10. Infrared light might also help by reducing inflammation, but I don't own a panel yet; -It doesn't have to mean that you have elevated androgens in your bloodstream if you're getting acne. So much of the hormone conversion happens in your gut or other places like the liver, or fat tissue. Handling this problem holistically is so important! DHT conversion happens in your skin (women); -Out of topicals/serums, retinol did next to nothing for me, but I had some success with azelaic acid (which is a DHT inhibitor). And 20% azelaic acid performs better in my experience than 10%; - For some people, dairy makes a big difference. To give it an accurate trial, you need to stay off all dairy for 3 months. Some people don't tolerate cow milk but do fine with goat milk. I saw a slight difference with dairy but not major enough to give it up forever; -I use nutritional support to further reduce inflammation and block 5 alpha reductase that facilitates the DHT conversion which causes acne (there are many nutrients and foods that can inhibit it, such as zinc, lion's mane, reishi, green tea extract, astaxanthin... do your research...); -Further, pamper your liver and support it with herbs because it processes all your hormones and clears any excess; -Mind you that some adaptogenic herbs elevate androgens; -Consider "inflammation reducing" foods, herbs and spices, think turmeric, ginger and so on, that's good addition in most cases; -So, a couple more things about herbs. Some are safe to use long term. Some are not. Usually they'll be "generally safe" if they have been traditionally used as food or spice. But this is not necessarily the case. Licorice is also used as food, per example, but it's never to be taken long term! So always do your homework about what you're taking. And of course, if you take any meds or have a condition or suspect there's anything wrong, forget anything anyone recommends - you have to vet anything with your health care person first. Therefore. Some herbs and supplements need to be properly cycled, either because they permanently downregulate something, or cause dependency, or deplete your body from some nutrient. It's somewhat safer to stick to universal Ayurvedic and TCM tonics/herbs/foods that have been tried and true and that are traditionally recommended for all constitutions. After you get it vetted. It's best to introduce things one by one, so you can track the results and know the culprit if something doesn't agree with you. I think this should be common knowledge, but I have to write for both yours and mine safety, if you're pregnant, that's never a good time to mess with herbal medicine; -If you are losing weight currently, hormones that had been mopped up by fat cells are getting released while you're burning fat, which can wreck serious havoc on your skin. Your body is also probably rebalancing hormones too to match your new weight. I've had some improvement after I lost 50 pounds and dropped to a good BMI, but it was a NIGHTMARE over the course of a year while I was losing that weight, during which time I tried this product, so don't judge the product too harshly. Everything was coming out through my face; -Fat itself acts as an endocrine gland, converting precursors into extra estrogen, it might throw your hormones off if you have a lot of fatty tissue. This is one way to get estrogen dominance; -Plastic also mimics estrogen in the body. I only use stainless and silicone straws now and glass or steel cups/bottles; -For a lot of people, Lactobacillus Reuteri also anecdotally helps clear skin, I'm taking it but the jury's still out. -Anyhow. Don't be throwing everything and the kitchen sink at once at it. Be cautious and responsible if taking supplements on your own. I sincerely hope this helps anyone who reads and I'm rooting for you. I'll update this section as I improve. Now back to the product again. The seller offered refund, which was fair of them, but I don't want compensation. To be fair to them, I upped the review one star, only one - because I also want my review to keep its integrity and reflect my experience with the product. Therefore, I was not compensated for this review nor accepted refund. I recommend you try the product still - I don't regret I did - because you never know what will work for you, everyone's skin is different.

Effective but not perfect. The Daolyo Large Pimple Patches are great for covering and protecting pimples, especially the larger ones. The hydrocolloid material absorbs pus and helps reduce inflammation overnight, which really speeds up healing. The variety of 8 sizes is convenient for different types of blemishes, and they stick well without sliding off. My only issue is that they’re a bit noticeable on the skin during the day, especially the larger patches, and some patches don’t fully flatten on uneven areas. Overall, they work well and are a solid addition to any acne care routine.

I wanted to like these pimple patches, but they didn’t work well for my oily skin. The adhesive isn’t very strong, so the patches tend to lift or fall off after a short time. They also provide minimal absorption compared to other brands I’ve tried. Overall, they might work for drier skin types, but they weren’t very effective for me.

I had high hopes for these patches after reading reviews and for the price point, as someone who had only purchased the Hero patches before. Sadly my hopes were crushed. These do nothing. They don’t stick to the skin nearly as well as the hero ones. At first I thought it must have been an error on my end, perhaps I needed to freshly wash and dry my face before applying but even that wouldn’t make them stick all the way around. And after I pull them off when they become white, there’s still a white head beneath it. It doesn’t do anything to my spots. If they’re white, popped, or red, nothing happens. It’s a waste of money. Spend a bit more for a product that actually does what it’s meant to do.
