Sand Sky Oil Control Dual Action Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches with Salicylic Acid Centella - Blemish Spot Formula 75

These are hands down the best acne dots around! The two different types really helps treat acne from the start! When I use these I feel like my occasional breakouts heal much much much faster than without. I’ve learned to always keep these on hand because they are a life saver! Before applying I take a little witch hazel toner over my skin and once that dries I apply the dot and it stays perfectly with no lifting or shifting. Highly recommend! Read more

Although I am not a huge fan of the two step process considering some other products only need 1 patch applied, these are still pretty decent. The separation of salicylic acid for one patch and hydrocolloid for another may provide for better results but personally I did not see a major difference. That being said, the product works and hits all the positive points I look for in a blemish patch. They are small and rather descrete. Not enough to actively wear out in public, but you can't see them well from a short distance depending on where you put them. They also stick well. I had no issue wearing them overnight and I toss and turn and often sleep face down. They come in sleeve sets which are sealed but one thing I don't like is once you break the seal the whole set is open to the elements. Most other similar products are the same but I wish they discovered a better way to package. Overall not bad. Worth trying to see if the two step process works better for your skin than single step patches. You may be surprised in a good way by the results. Read more

These patches arrive in a nice little box. Inside, you will find individually, sealed packets with these patches. There are two options in this pack: select the patch that best suits the state of the blemish. That's pretty cool! I have never seen another patch that does this. (And, I have used so many!) And, I always love the different sized patches (though, to be honest, I always use the biggest ones first since I like the idea of really covering a blemish ... and beyond!) These are genuinely effective, stay put until removed, and so gentle on skin! I love Sand & Sky products and these easily live up to my high expectations! Easy to use, so much cleaner than blemish serums/lotions/creams, and really effective! I'm such a fan! Read more

I get pimples occasionally and these patches work miracles for me! I apply them to clean, dry skin with clean dry hands, but sterilized tweezers would be the most hygienic means to do so. The only thing is, they really stick! So, to remove, I either take a shower with them on and use a warm, wet washcloth after to gently wipe it off, or I steam it with a facial steamer to loosen it before peeling it away. Otherwise, they can leave a red mark and it hurts! Read more

Sand & Sky Dual Action Blemish Patches I'm not a stranger to blemish patches, but this two step process was new to me. The directions say to start with the help me patch until the blemish turns white, and then apply the bye bye patch. If using with the two step, there are not enough patches to do that. There are 45 of the step 1 (salicylic acid), and 30 of the step 2 (hydrocolloid). It appears one should treat the blemish, and the other will continue to pull out the gunk. There are also 2 sizes for the patches - they are fairly similar though. When using on my blemishes, I didn't really see a difference in using the dual step. I have used both salicylic acid patches and hydrocolloid - they both seem to work on my skin in similar ways. The product does work, but I'd probably reach for one of my other brands due to the number included. Read more

I've been using hydrocolloid patches for years. I brought some back from a trip to Korea even before they were available in the US. They are great for drawing out and drying blemishes that have already been popped and are leaking. They aren't much help for developing blemishes that haven't "come to a head" yet until these patches. One set is the normal hydrocolloid and the other set has salicylic acid which you can use on red bumps that have not developed fully yet and that the normal hydrocolloid patches don't work well on. Salicylic acid helps with skin exfoliation. No one likes to get blemishes, but I'm happy to have these in my arsenal. Read more

The box that these come in is not sealed but the dots themselves are. I don't see an expiration date on the box. I would recommend the manufacturer add the ingredient list to the Amazon listing. At the time of my review, the ingredients are not included. There are good clear instructions on the box. And I like the ingredients that are in these. They stick well but are easy to remove and they seem to work pretty well. Read more
