I was given 4 free patches to review. I have very acne prone skin and lots of good areas with hyperpigmentation and erythema to test a supposedly “brightening” blemish patch. I tested it on the very centre of the area in the photo—the patches are quite large and triangular shaped so they covered a decent area. I wore each patch for over 12 hours and after 4 patches I see no results. The lighting conditions aren’t exactly the same but I don’t see a considerable difference at all. All the redness is still there. I know that the product says results will appear after 7 uses, but I feel like that is a very expensive way to brighten old acne spots. People like me whose entire face looks like this would go through an entire box a day. I’d rather spend my money on a serum that will last me several weeks and has the exact same ingredients that they infused these patches with. I gave this product 2 stars because it has the same feel as the regular Panoxyl patches which are my favourite out of the many brands I’ve tried—they are the thinnest and most invisible. However, if you’re just looking for a regular pimple patch I’d go for the Panoxyl PM Overnight Clear Spot Patches and skip out on these brightening ones.
