great for hiding pimples in public
More sticker than pimple patch in my opinion, but I like it for when I need to go out and I have a pimple that I just can't hide with makeup. It's really nice that pimple patches have become more normalized and it's become a socially acceptable way to hide your pimples. I like these more than the standard ones if I'm going to be around people because they don't absorb all the gunk and become opaque the way the clear ones do. However, these ones aren't as effective for clearing up pimples. Like they really don't absorb much of anything. If anything, I feel like these are mostly for me to cover the pimples, whereas with the clear ones, I feel like they are actively helping the pimples heal. I think both have their time and place though so if you want a cute pimple patch to hide your pimples, these are for you. If you're looking for something that will actually pull all the gunk from your pimple and flatten it, go for a normal clear pimple patch that you can just leave on overnight. Read more
