It’s no secret that I have far from perfect skin. I’ve been struggling more than usual lately with acne flare ups, which has been making me feel less confident and not like myself (I talked a lot about it in my latest youtube video). Whether it’s hormonal, diet-related or from stress, the struggle has been real. Other than trying to relax a bit and eat cleaner, I’ve been focused on keeping my skin clean and hydrated. My skin has gotten a lot better this week, so I thought I’d share a product that has helped me heal my painful breakouts quickly! Keep on reading to learn about the $6 acne product I swear by.
MEET THE PIMPLE PATCH
Definitely not the most glam skincare product I could talk about, but it’s definitely one I wanted to share with you guys! I recently jumped on the pimple patch train to see what all the hype was about and I’m impressed. There are a few on the market, but probably the most popular ones are the Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patches,(you can get on Amazon for under $5!) and the Peace Out Acne Healing Dots. Pimple patches are basically little hydrocolloid (fluid absorbing) bandages that stick to your skin and draw out the fluid from your pimples so you don’t have to pop or pick at anything. They are great for wearing overnight so you know your pimple is protected from your pillow or your wandering fingers!
DO THEY WORK?
The short answer is yes, they do! And you know they’re working because you can see it happening. After wearing the patch for a few hours or overnight and you take the patch off, you can see the clear patch has turned opaque white (which is all the gunk that was in your pimple!) Probably the best part about these patches is that it keeps you from touching your pimples. Believe me, I know how hard it is to not touch your pimples. But when you do, it increases your chances of your pimple getting inflamed/infected and slows down the healing process. I like using these because they physically stop me from touching my pimples and keeps germs and air pollutants away! If you’re a chronic pimple toucher and are looking for a little extra help with your breakouts, I would definitely recommend giving these pimple patches a try!

Thank you for all your love Mary!
1-Click Buy on amazon just happened. I can’t wait to get my hands on these. With the holidays right around the corner, this is exactly what i needed to clear my skin!! Thanks sona <3
Amazing! Let me know what you think of these! xo
Hello! I have been using those Cosrx patches and I love them! They definitely work on certain pimples, but hormonal breakouts don’t seem phased by the patches. Have you found anything that helps specifically with cystic hormonal acne? I tried that iS clinicals serum that you suggested previously but didn’t notice much difference unfortunately.
I get hormonal pimples too! Have you tried the Origins brand Out of Trouble mask? It has worked wonders for me!
Thanks so much for this post! I never had skin issues as a teenager but now as an adult I find my skin becoming a lot more acne proned ? I’m sure it’s mostly hormonal, but now I’m constantly looking for ways to get rid of my pimples.
Hope these help love!
I will tell my daughter about these. I don’t really get them. I used to the bigger cysts. Sometimes now maybe one. But mine, sadly, is hormones ? this is a great tip, and will help those that suffer a great deal ! Thanks
These are great for teens!
Definitely keeping these in mind for when my daughters get older and possibly get acne. Luckily I haven’t had to deal with any pimples for quite some time!

Lucky you! I think these will be great for teens!
These sound great! I also like using the Origins, Out of Trouble 10 min mark. Whenever I get a weird flair up I put this on and a heavy moisturizer, next morning my skin looks so much better! But for the price your recommendation is a way better option!! I will keep this post for when I need it! Thanks for sharing!
I love Origins mask, especially the clay ones!
I need to try this, thanks for the tips :)
Let me know what you think love!
I would love to try these! I read a few reviews and am wondering if you have to mess with the pimple before you put these on?
Some people say that it only works if the pimple is popped, and I’m hoping that is not the case!
Would love to hear how well it works!!!

I’ve used loads of acne products but none worked as dermalmd acne serum does for me. It helps reduce the acne as well as old acne scars.
I would love to try these recommendations from you!
