Acne (Aghh!) is one of the most common skin care concerns people deal with, and since no one likes to have pimples, let’s feel some gratitude for the cosmetics industry’s continuous search for easy and fuss-free solutions to get rid of acne and treat spots and blemishes. And that’s where the genius pimple patches come, a must-have for all beautystas out there!
These magical patches make acne pimples disappear overnight! Yes, you heard right! As a Korean miracle product, pimple patches are usually infused with anti-acne and healing ingredients that help dissolve sebum and impurities in pores (and guess what, you can wear them while you sleep!). Pimple patches come in a variety of super-absorbing formulas and sizes targeting pimples with a premeasured dose of acne-fighting ingredients.
Just note that hydrocolloid can only treat the symptom and these patches will not target deep acne problems, i.e. the main cause of acne. This is because cystic or hormonal acne spots that are often painful tend to be located under the skin. It will be necessary to seek another specific treatment or to consult a specialist.
Now keep scrolling for the best acne patches we selected for you to treat mild breakouts and help improving overall skin health.
