I use these to hide spots under makeup and they’re fab. Definitely make spots go down faster! 

These patches are brilliant, they stop new threatening angry spots in their tracks and also help to rapidly heal and remove redness and swelling from established pimples.  I wouldn’t recommend using on any small whiteheads that have come to a head with thin fragile skin in the middle as removing these patches can tear the top of the spot open, or for any pimples that have been squeezed as they don’t absorb any sebum/fluid and it’ll just build up and lift off. (In both these cases, hydrocolloid patches that aren’t sticky in the middle and absorb fluid are the best bet!) But for any new red spots, deeper inflammation/cystic acne or older healing spots (especially if dry or flaky), the healing progress overnight is incredible. Spots appear flat and smooth in the morning or at the end of the day (whenever the patch is removed after 8 hours or so). Avoid using with wet or oily skincare products as they won’t stick well, even if you apply patches to clean skin first before applying the rest - I learnt to apply all the usual products first to my whole face then removed everything just on/around the spot with toner or micellar water and waited to dry before applying patches. *You could wait 30 mins first to let any actives start to absorb before cleaning the areas to apply the patches if there’s useful ingredients in your skincare that you also need to treat any spots.  Also brilliant for using under covid masks to nip new spots in the bud, or after washing your face at the end of the day to protect from absent minded touching/picking. They are pretty easy to cover with makeup too and are virtually undetectable unless makeup shifts and settles around the edges. Powder should help. :) Cruelty free too, which is a must for me! Big thumbs up!!
