Dots for Spots | The Original Acne Patch, Winner 2021* | Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches | 1 Pack (60 Dots)

I bought these Dots for Spots pimple patches for my teenage son, and they’ve been a lifesaver. Going through puberty means dealing with breakouts, but these help reduce pimples quickly and make him feel more confident. They’re translucent, so you can barely tell he’s wearing them, and they stay in place well. Such a great value for how effective they are! Pros: fast-acting, translucent, easy to use, effective on pimples, boosts confidence, great value for the price

If I can buy stock on this, I would. It's that good. No one paid me to say this, but I'm halfway thru my 2nd large pack now after trying the 24 dots pack. I've used another brand overseas before too and they seem to work similarly, except they have small and large sizes... and this is mainly all large, which I prefer as it's good to cover more of the area. I've had clear skin my entire life till I hit my 40s, hormonal acne... imagine while I fight wrinkles at the same time, this happens! I just can't believe it. I'm hugely traumatized by this sudden twist of faith, considering how good my skin has been my whole life (Asian too). I went to see my dermatologist and he said It's not THAT severe, but it is to me in the mirror. People used to ask me what I do for such good skin! I've gone thru every product under the sun from J&J Clean & Clear, organic tea tree oil of every sort, even Mycin from a dermatologist (antibacterial gel)... except the last, most performed average. These sticker seems to be the cure for the later stage especially. IMO They work best on "ripe" pimples, where it's inflamed but told you shouldn't squeeze, while not squeezing and leave it hanging inside for months, ultimately scarred also (my experience anyway). Use the sticker at that white head stage. Put it on cleansed skin before bed, and watch the miracle peels off in the morning (hello photo, that was a good morning alright knowing that concealer WILL cover the flat spot). For non ripen ones, I found it less useful... but I guess as the other reviews said, it helps to keep clean. It took me months but I find Origins' Spot Remover to be the best in shortening that inflammation period, and the sticker goes on when it's ready to be "flattened" and pulled out. The most satisfying is when I see the big white spot when it peels off (min is 6 hours btw), which you may need to do several rounds of before it fully comes out. Do give your skin a few hours in between to breath also. I follow with the most expensive Aloe by PHB, that is the ONLY thing so far that actually lightens my acne scars if I do it religiously. There, you just cut out a whole route of pain... see if these work for you. I'm not paid by anyone, but I feel your pain and just want someone else to short cut the experimenting. Hope it helps you too. I don't wear them during the day as in the process of pulling them off the plastic, I always nik the edge a little somehow, therefore it won't lie flat and looks like I have a scab of skin peeling off. Not exactly the look I'm after. These spot stickers are certainly not cheap. If you're the manufacturer/seller, I hope you can come down on price considering how massively popular they are now and you're in the top 10 on Amazon for Beauty! Many young people I'd imagine can't afford to use the amount I'm using sometimes (like 13 on my face at once once during a bad breakout)? Consider it's a medical cure in essence. I'm commenting here on the "bigger" pack that's barely making any difference as it's 0.01p cheaper, which is kinda a joke - you can do better! Maybe cut down on packaging? Don't mind the foil bag with all 5 sheets. Offer even BIGGER packs? I don't know, but please, make them accessible to more people. It's only the ethical thing to do. Bottom line, this works. Hands down. Apply it at the stage that it performs best and you'll see results. I hope you too will find some relief on your face as I have thanks to this little invention. Thank you to that chemist/scientist/product inventor. You've done a great thing for so many of us suffering from acne.

Love these! Very thin and practically invisible and stay on very well under makeup. You can see them starting to work within an hour but best results seen leaving them on all day or throughout the night.

Got these for my daughters and they absolutely loved them. The transparent stickers hide and cover acne spots effectively. Great for when they have to go to school and are not allowed make up.

NOTE: This review is on my wife's account (we just use hers). Not to be "braggadocious", but I speak from a LOT of experience ... as a dad whose family (mom, dad, sister, and I) went through "dermatological hell", I've become more experienced with skin and acne (+ eczema, and more serious skin malady) products than anyone should have to! ... I often joke, that if "someone looks at us the wrong way, our skin reacts badly, and breaks out" Lately, I've been trying many brands of acne patches with my special needs (young adult) daughter ... She gets mostly surface acne, some hormonal acne, and a few cystic "beauties" (ugh) ... She's such a sweet, pretty "kid", who DESERVES to have equally pretty skin ... but our family skin history is a fight, and it's hard to keep her from touching her face. She can't do self care for her skin ... so I do it ... Some of brands of these patches work very well at drawing out impurities, ie all the "junk", but some don't. Unfortunately, the brands with quantities of 120, 180, etc often seem less effective, especially the small 8mm size. They're useless, while the larger sizes are sometimes OK, but inconsistently draw out the "junk" ... Generally though, the "bargain" ones, have not proven to be an actual bargain. "Hero" patches have been very good, but $12 (approx) for 36 patches is a bit high, in my humble opinion. After reading some reviews, and watching a video or two, I'm now using THIS brand, "Dots for Spots" ($14 for 60 medium size). I've been pleases to see that they're consistently drawing out all the "yuck" out of the blemish, so the skin can then heal ... Yes, a big one, like a cystic one is RED afterward, but at least it's OUT, and FLAT, and ready to heal. THESE patches (Dots for Spots) are a bit difficult to peel off (a CLEAN tweezer helps), and they should be firmly "sealed" against the surrounding skin, but if applied correctly, THEY WORK! I wish these products did something even more important, PREVENTED the acne ... THAT is more the territory of Retin-A type products (prescription, or OTC). These are often CHALLENGING to use, as they can cause a LOT of redness and photosensitivity, REQUIRING sunblock (that wont clog pores) EVERY time we go outside! ... If you have a similar goal (prevention of acne), with a similar safety concern, read about BAKUCHIOL (yes, it sounds like it'd be a Pokemon character, haha). It looks to be a Retin-A alternative that's MUCH safer ... Good luck to all ... Peace :-)
