I received a sample of 4 patches from Butterly in exchange for my honest review. And while I’m fine with receiving samples to try, I was a little bit disappointed in this case, as I was hoping to actually try them for the recommended 10 days to see a difference in one major dark spot I have. However, since it was 4 provided instead of 10+ (or the 16 of what a full package is), I decided to use them on a new pimple instead, hoping to ward off any damage or dark spots ahead of time. So for 4 nights in a row, before bed, I cleaned the affected area, dried it and placed a patch over a fairly large (for me) whitehead. The first morning I noticed a fair amount of change, the whitehead was mostly removed with the patch and the redness was less than the night before. Nights two and three I didn’t notice a significant change but by night 4, the blemish was quite a bit less red and swollen than it would’ve been had I not used anything on it. Most of all, during this time, I wasn’t tempted to pick at it, as I normally would have been, so I’m sure it prevented what could have been a nasty post-acne mark. It was also comfortable to wear overnight, even with the blemish being above my lip so I was able to fall asleep without being annoyed by something on my face. A huge point for me also is that it is latex-free, as I have sensitivities to latex. Overall, this “mini” trial makes me more likely than not to purchase it for myself to try a full 10 days with it to see how that goes.
