I’ve been getting some stubborn cystic acne lately and I happened to find these and I’m sold. Attaching a picture after the first use and another picture after 2 days of use (about 3-4 patches later). I love these freaking things. I wash my face, pat dry, then wait a minute or so to air dry further before applying the patch - which the instructions say to press in place for 10 seconds - and I’ve not had any problems with it staying in place. I’ve worn them around the house and while sleeping and they don’t budge. The swelling and redness went down within a day and were very noticeably down within 2. Normally my cystic acne takes about a week and these little miracle patches made it so much easier and quicker. The company itself is also fantastic with customer service. I had a package of just regular patches get delivered but it was empty. I emailed the company and they responded by the next day with an apology and had a new one out for delivery right away and I received it within 3 days. Between the fantastic products and service- they’re doing everything right. 5 stars, 10/10, A++… whatever rating scale you want to use- they’re top. Read more
I like how it works and it is a very effective patch, but I wanted to use it on my neck and they don’t stay put. I had to hold it in place. The sticky part is not as wide as other patches. Read more
so I have folliculitis, which basically just means my body every once in a while decides it's covered in ingrowns, except it's not, so all my hair follicles get angry and red and itchy for no real reason at all and there's never really been much I could do about it (and you can't pop them or anything like that). It's particularly bad in the under-chin region (like, where your double chin is, for all of you who don't have one!), and it happens that these strips fit almost perfectly to cover that area! So when my hair follicles get angry, I slap one of these babies on at night and in the morning the swelling is gone, the redness is greatly reduced, and all the gunk that was in my follicles that I couldn't actually extract is plain to see. tl;dr great for acne, but also if you have issues with ingrown hairs or angry follicles or pores on your face (like, say, from shaving or tweezing), it might be worth a shot to try. My skin is super-sensitive on top of everything else and I was worried about reacting to the adhesive or something but it's never happened. SUCCESS Read more
Very effective and strongly medicated patch. You can definitely feel the darts really getting in the skin but if in a good way. Eventually the darts dissolve into a sort of film that will cover and tighten over pimple. Dries them out without irritating my skin too much. Redness goes away shortly after removing patch and if there’s some left over film, don’t peel the film off, wash it off instead. The pimple should be smaller after using this. I only use it for deeper and larger pimples before they become white heads. Read more
I love the Avarelle mini patches and was really happy to find these large ones. I work with the public and have to be masked for at least 8 hours a day. I have PCOS, sensitive skin, and cystic acne, so masks really haven’t been great for my skin, but these stickers help so much! I’ve started wearing them on my jaw under my mask to help heal what’s already there and prevent future outbreaks by protecting the skin where the mask causes the most irritation. And with the mask on, I can wear these all day without anyone noticing. Pro tip: I use scissors to cut these in half so I can hit the problem areas on both sides without wasting patches. Only complaint is I wish there were more in a pack (and a little cheaper). Read more
I know everyone's skin is different & this is just my experience, so take it as you will. I have used this brand for a few years now and swear by their acne cover patches, so I really wanted to like this product -Especially with the higher pricetag. I figured this would be even better due to the microneedles really getting in there and the patch being thicker, but I was wrong. Instead of clearing up and getting the gross stuff out, the bumps got WORSE. I used them overnight after my normal face washing routine but, before I put my serums & moisturizer. After 4 days of applying new ones at night, the only change was a dark red spot, but still under the skin & sore. I immediately placed another order for my usual Avarelle patches, and overnight it is about 95% cleared up. Read more
These are okay... they do the job when i gotta wear my mask for 1+hr but they hurt when I take it off. I wear these on my jawline to prevent more breakouts and it works. Read more
I like this one because it fits better on my forehead than the XL patches, because of the rounded shape. Read more
