These work well, but have a few drawbacks
Pros:- These are effective and work well as hydrocolloid bandages. They do a good job of absorbing liquid. I find them most helpful for use after I've picked a spot or popped a pimple, not so much to draw out fluid from whiteheads.- They encourage faster and more effective healing when applied to spots that have been picked. I noticed that hyperpigmentation from picked spots seems to vanish much more quickly if I use these for a few days after picking or popping.- These are much cheaper than many other options on the market.Cons:- These are too thick to be able to wear out of the house without it being obvious. They're best suited to overnight use.- These can be difficult to stick onto the skin. I always apply hydrocolloid bandages on clean, dry skin (no moisturizer) as any water or lotion can prevent them from sticking properly. However I still find that sometimes I have to press these into my skin rather forcefully to get them to stay, especially if it's in an area of the face with curves or contours, like around the base or side of my nose, or around my mouth.- These can leave red circles where the bandage has been applied if they're left on too long or used for too many consecutive days. This means that the adhesive is causing irritation, which isn't a huge deal for me, but the reaction could be more or less severe depending on the person and their skin's sensitivity.- While you get more bang for your buck given the amount of bandages and overall cost, these have continued to rise in price over the past 3 weeks. I ordered on 2/11 and they cost $7.99, ordered again on 2/26 and they were $8.54, and today I re-ordered and the price has jumped up to $10.73. Still a better deal than most options given the volume and price, but if the cost continues to rise that won't be the case for much longer.

Sticky residue and NOT absorbent!
I purchased a box of 72 first to see if I liked the product and was very happy. So, I ordered this larger quantity package (108) and got a very different result. Instead of a paper sheet guarding the plastic spot sheet, there was a plastic sheet exactly the same size and very difficult to separate as it wanted to stick together. Then when I peeled the spot, I noticed it was stickier than the previous ones. It was surprising right away that I wasn’t seeing any of the usual white area developing under the patch. When I took them off it looked to me that there was adhesive resisting the moisture and keeping it from absorbing. Either that, or this is new, useless material. However it happened, it’s a major waste of time, money, and effort! The package came as 3 individual boxes of 36, plastic wrapped together. The green box didn’t look any different, but the product sure was!

Don't Stick Well, and Don't Absorb Well!
My daughter bought these and was not happy at all. The lower price in comparison to similar products made by other brands was appealing, but the quality of these patches is far inferior.These patches did not stick well at all! They also did not seem to absorb as much as other similar products. I couldn't wait to use finish the package so that I could go back to a different brand. I will not buy these again.

Not the same product
I've tried these before and they were absolutely incredible. I finished them and put in the new order and the new ones don't work at all and don't stick. I don't understand what's changed but it's almost like they're defective. I thought it might have been just one box so I opened another, nope, same problem. I'm so disappointed because the first batch I ordered were AMAZING. I won't be repurchasing.

Magical
I cannot recommend these highly enough. I recommend them to everyone I know with acne, and everyone who uses them is amazed. I'm 22, and I've struggled with acne since middle school. I'm prone to cystic acne, but even on my non-cystic acne, the normal topical products didn't do much. I'll put these on before bed, and when I wake up in the morning I peel them off (along with a grossly satisfying amount of gunk) and even my largest, reddest, sorest pimples are all but disappeared. Within even 45 minutes, they reduce pain in sore acne. These are also great for sensitive skin, or people using products like Differin, because they're super gentle.

Too thick, don't stick well.
These are very thick so they are pretty obvious, and they don't stick very well. The small ones are almost useless because when you try to press them down they stick to your finger instead of your face. The big ones are better and I was able to use them overnight. I much prefer the Rael ones though because of the beveled edge. Two stars because they work if you can get them to stick, and the price is very good but I won't repurchase.

Results vary
My boyfriend used these one time and it worked great for him. I’ve tried them three separate times and it didn’t progress or remove my forehead pimple 🙄😂. I’d say it’s worth the couple bucks in case it does end up working for you. And if it doesn’t work for you at least you’re not losing too much money. 🤷🏽♀️

THESE ARE THE BEST ONES OUT THERE
Buy this, it’s the best one !!! Then buy it for your friends and family, they will LOVE YOU. (My friend who has also tried different brands came back and said she loved me). Many pimple patches work but THESE ONES work the best and do the most for results the next day.

They changed for the worst :(
I used to really like these and i've ordered a lot because patches like these really help my acne and skin picking tendencies. I thought these were really good value for money but my last order was so disappointing. the patches got significantly THINNER and like they feel cheaper and dont work as good :( maybe i just got a bad batch but i dont understand how they can change their patches like that without warning. also this has been said but the packaging is ridiculous : way too many boxes for just one little sheet per box.

No cura el grano
No tienen el efecto sobre el grano en concreto. Es una pegatina q se nota. Por el mismo precio encuentras unos apósitos transparentes q visualmente casi no se notan y lo más importante tiene un efecto antinflamatorio y curador del grano en 10 h

:(
Sono davvero delusa, avevo comprato una scatola singola qualche mese fa ed ero rimasta più che soddisfatta, così ho deciso di riacquistarli, ma questa volta è come se fossero solo dei semplici cerottini adesivi, non fanno lo stesso effetto, come se fossero scaduti..

These didn't work at all for me
I tried the Nexcare ones and they worked amazing, but these were a little cheaper so I thought I would give them a try... Unfortunately they didn't work at all for me, popped or not, nothing came out. So disappointed. : (

photos are misleading, these are not very big at all
I ordered these because the photo shows them as being larger than other acne patches however the photos are misleading as they are not very big at all. I will not purchase these again.
