NexcareAcne Cover, Skin Cover Absorbs Pus and Oil From Clogged Pores, Suitable Skincare for Most Skin Types - 36 Acne Covers

These things are awesome!I now have gotten to my second pack of these, as I don't have too many breakout issues anymore (but I share them with the bf), and I wanted to put in my two cents about this amazing product. Here is the good and the bad, as I see it:GOOD!1. This is a no-chemical acne solution. Unless you are allergic to the (probably proprietary) plasticky substance these are made out of, there should be ZERO irritation! That's right - none! I have semi-sensitive, aging (I am 36yo), oily, acne-prone skin. I had to stop using traditional acne products because they began to really bother my skin.2. They work amazingly fast. Pop these on your spot(s) and overnight you should wake up to flat, or extremely flattened/reduced (if the pimple is larger or not yet near the surface) zits. For mean pimples you may need to use them for more than one night, but this is still a huge reduction in healing time, as a pimple that isn't nuked by these is probably pretty severe. For example, I got a hormonal/"fighting off actually getting sick" pimple cause two people in my household have nasty flu/pneumonia. I used this three nights on this bump before it went away, but it kept it down, from getting worse/super-ugly looking.3. They work on MANY pimple types. Honestly aside from my tiny hormone pimples, I mostly only get an teeny irritation whitehead (rashy kind of small pimple) or blackheads. This even works on blackheads -- to which point I would love it if they made Biore Nose strip like versions of these. I would snap them up in a heartbeat!! They also work on my boyfriend's super-grody bacne pimples of large and manly proportion, which is much better than having to look at them when he does nothing about them, but gripes when I poke them. Slap on a Nexcare, slap on a Star Wars bandaid = both of us are happy campers.The Bad?1. These don't stick too well. Tips: Put on very clean/dry skin. NO lotion or other stuff on your skin! Have very dry/clean hands. Be careful to touch as little of the "sticky" side of the pad as possible. Try to only use this on flat spots. If in a spot you think it will rub off of - apply a bandaid over the top of it. Now, I use these at night and I've rarely had one pop off my face when I do the above (no bandaids on my face are needed. that's for the bf bacne, though your needs may vary!)2. These are not for use outside the home. They are very obvious discs that simply are not thin enough to not look like you have little bandaids on your skin, or perhaps alien growths... Anyway. Wear them at home, at night or on your day off, and wear outside at your own discretion if you just dgaf, but they aren't "invisible" or able to be covered by makeup of any normal non-spackle variety.Bottom line: Since I am perfectly happy to have these be an "at home" solution and I've worked out how to deal with them not being too sticky, I have to say I LOVE these things. I have them on subscribe and save now as I plan to never be without them. The no-chemical, super gentle, effective solution is the freakin' bomb. 5+ starsP.S. Part of me wants to post a picture, but it's not necessary. You will see the gross little white blob of goo stuck on the pad the first time you use it and will know it has worked. Kinda like Biore strips... it's an icky fascination to look and boggle, but probably doesn't need to be shared with the universe. Just your sister/mom/roommate/bestie or maybe your curious significant other, so they can go, "ewww!" along with you and then ask to try it for themselves.

These work really well for my adult acne. I get a variety of pimples-anything from small blackheads & tiny, bumpy whiteheads to deep cystic boils. It took me 1 week to use a whole pack (I covered every flaw I had on my face to test the product). For smaller bumps with or without a whitehead, the patches completely absorbed all oil/pus overnight and I woke up not being able to tell where the zit was. I didn't have any larger zits (boils) this week to experiment on so I can't review the effects of the patch on those but I did have a few medium to larger-sized acne pimples that I tried the product on and the result was pretty good. I had one zit in particular that kept refilling during the day while I was wearing makeup, then I would use a patch on it at night and voila....all drained by morning. Unfortunately the zit would continue to slowly refill during the day and so I had to keep repeating this cycle. I am now 7 days out and last night I finally popped it by squeezing, then covered with a patch and it appears that it is finally going away. I did notice that with these more medium-sized pimples, the patch was not as effective if the zit had not been previously popped/opened. I had a whitehead show up under my lip yesterday, I avoided popping it, put a patch on last night and woke up with all of the pus brought to the surface (so there was a large whitehead) but it had not been absorbed by the cover. I was still happy that it helped the pus to surface and popped it myself this morning. Sorry if this is TMI, but I have tried so many products over the years and reviews have always been very helpful for me in making purchasing decisions. My overall impression of this product is very positive. After a week of usage, I feel that my face is much clearer (though not perfect) and I don't pop/pick at my zits nearly as often. I personally would not wear these patches during the day-they do not blend with skin well-unless you are a habitual picker and need something to keep your fingernails away. I prefer to cover my flaws with makeup during the daytime hours and use these patches at night. It's always a good feeling to see how much goo the patches pull out. I've had anything and everything from clear oil and white pus to blood and yellow drainage on the covers. Again, sorry for the gruesome details, but I hope this review helps someone out there with their purchasing decision.Final impression: Amazing for small pimples with or without a whitehead, decent for medium and larger zits as long as the head has been punctured previous to the cover application, completely useless for blackheads (but that isn't a big concern for me). Will I reorder?? Yes! I already have and they will be arriving today (thank you prime!). I hope these patches work as well for you as they have been for me.One more small note-these patches are fairly sticky but make sure that the pimple is not oozing when you apply the cover or it will not stay on.
