I have tried every acne patch as i have cystic acne and need these if A. I sleep and it is open B. need to not look like a monster with chicken pox on their face and the common issue was that for big areas like my cheek or chin I would have to use whole sheets on the little circles so I was excited to find this and its already iffy if they are the good ones or the crappy ones that dont stick or absorb. But was pleasently surprised to find out it did however my complaint is there is such a small amount. Just a tip guys add more the people wanting the bigger ones probobally (like me) have more acne/more severre case so even though it is bigger that means more oil dirt etc so often I had to change it MORE frequently. So great product but think about those of us who need these just to sleep on our cheek comfortably not just cuz i dont like a pimple #fcysts #pcossucksThese are the type of thing you keep stocked in your vanity for special occasions and not so much for frequent use.Seriously, have a pack of these on hand if you're prone to bad breakouts and you'll thank yourself the next time you have a picture day or an outing or just an overall important day where you want to be your confident self.They take some time to work their magic so I recommend using these overnight.They work super well and are one of the only products I can find that cover a large area as opposed to the spot treatment kind. Glad to have found a product like this!This product is a little pricey for 8 patches but it truely heals cystic acne. The best way we found to apply the patch is to soak area with just water to soften the skin then apply the patches and leave on as long as possible. We left on from 3 pm, was afternoon school, then right before shower 7pm, we took them off. Could not believe the amount of pus and oils that were absorbed from the cystic skin! Everyplace that was covered by the patch were deep cyst existed, was completely flattened, dried and gone. There is still a little redness but I’m hoping with another application it will dissipate,gone, completely. I believe this is Accutanes best friend. Highly recommended for anyone with cystic acne! However, if you have experienced cystic acne then you would know keeping your skin clean is important, your dermatologist would recommend a regiment. ours recommends Cetiphil extra gental wash, with daily lotion with spf30+ with Vaseline for your lips if you experience dryness on Accutane .These are absolutely a god-sent lifesaver, the best patches I have ever used it will literally bring things up that you didn't even know existed in your face it's quite remarkable I mean you could wear them on your upper cheeks and watch it as it secretes the extra oil and reduces puffiness if you don't have acne that is a great second use for these. I wish they were a little cheaper but I mean can we really put a price on a product that can literally change whether you go outside today or try and hide in your home because of a pimple I used it for cystic acne and my daughter 16 used it for her less severe acne and it was truly a game changer not all patches are created equal and in my opinion these are the Holy Grail of them all!Just got this product today, and I love it! The patches go on easily, and stay on. I did use them for the intended cheek area on my face, but I also used them on my chin and jawline. They surprisingly blend very well to match your skin tone (I did not use with makeup). The patches lasted all throughout the day, and at night, when I was sleeping. I used them after showering, so I could fully open my pores, making it easier for the hydrocolloid to penetrate the acne, and absorb any remaining fluid from under my skin. Also a great way to keep yourself from touching any open, inflamed, or healing acne, especially cystic.I ordered this once before and was really happy with the 8 large cheek patches. But when I ordered again, I got the same box (says "8 cheek patches" on the outside with the large measurements), but inside it has 24 tiny weird ones shaped like hearts and stars?So I requested a refund. Guess what? THEY MAKE YOU RETURN THE PRODUCT.MEANING THE SUPPOSEDLY "STERILE" PATCHES YOU HAVE ON YOUR FACE MIGHT BE SOMEONE'S REJECTED OR USED PRODUCT. ?This is like someone asking you to return a box of bandages or underwear... wth are you going to do with them when you get them back? Restock it???? lol...Obviously, I'm still returning them because I want my money back. So if you order this product after I send mine back, YOU MIGHT BE THE NEXT ONE TO GET THE BOX I ALREADY HAD. I bet you hope my hands and my house are clean!!!! ?Hydrocolloid is a miracle acne treatment and can also be used for sterile wound protection. It's wonderful stuff — Just not from this company. NEVER AGAIN from this company...Who knows where they're making these. Out of the back of someone's van or in their mom's dingy basement, for all we know.It’s very thick. I used this to make my cheeks and nose not so puffy with acne and oils, got this bc this is the largest size I could find. On spots it doesn’t works as well as spot patches used on normal acne that would work in a few hours, however when left on overnight (idk if it’s a good idea but I do it) it sucked all the gross stuff out of my skin and made it look not so puffy. Will buy again.If you get blackheads on your nose/chin, I suggest using these to clear the area (I would use them more than that, but they are pricey). I sleep with 2 on my nose and 1 on my chin every other week and it really helps. They are really sticky and leave a little residue behind so you need to wash your face really well after with a washcloth or something with a but of scrub, but it's worth it. It feels very refreshing to take these off trouble-spots in the morning.I would have thought it a mistake until I read others feedback, on the picture it shows 8 patches and also 8 on the box in the picture. I received a box of 4 that stated 4 on it. I got thes for my grandson to try but I will be returning themThe reason why I give this 3 stars is because I was expecting to receive 8 patches when I’ve only received 4 which I’m very disappointed in. And therefore do not believe that it is good value for what you getReally good size for cheek area. I was a bit dubious on how well they work as all patches seem to have different results but over night with one of these and any papules or pustules are gone!8 little patches for £10, really!? I used 4 in one go. No way will I ever repurchase these until they make them double the side or half the price.I used this for a small cyst I had it didn’t work for it but think they will work for spots
