excellent acne patch

I'm almost 40 and still suffer from acne. Sometimes the red bumps can be unsightly. I tried these patches and they worked great. I had an angry red pimple on my check. I put one of the patches on it before going to bed and you could hardly tell that it was there. When I woke up in the morning it hadn't fallen off. The pimple was noticeably less red and less raised. Overall I was pleased with the results!

Must Have

I recently tried the Nexcare™ Thin and Transparent Acne Patches, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! These patches are incredibly thin and transparent, making them virtually invisible on my skin. It's so nice to have a product that I can wear during the day without feeling self-conscious.
The hydrocolloid material is fantastic; it really absorbs oil and pus effectively. I love how the patches change color from clear to white, which gives me reassurance that they're doing their job. Plus, they act as a protective barrier, so I’m less tempted to pick at my blemishes, which is a huge plus for me.
Application is super easy thanks to the handy ready-to-grab tab, and they stay put for up to 8 hours, which is perfect for both day and night wear. I definitely recommend keeping a pack of these in your skincare arsenal for when those pesky pimples decide to make an appearance.

Life savers!

I’m loving these Nexcare Brand patches! They are so thin and transparent that I hardly know I am are wearing one. These patches are a lifesaver when a pimple or blemish appears on my face or body. I simply cover the affected spot with a pimple patch and let them work. These patches will stay on for up to 8 hours without falling off so the adhesion is great. I preferred to use them just before bed, I would place one on, go to sleep and let the healing process begin! The hydrocolloid material works like a sponge to absorb oil and pus from the affected area. I think it is so cool that you know it’s working by the patch changing colour from clear to white.

These patches are also great for acting as a protective cover to prevent you from picking or squeezing the blemishes. I really liked that these pimple patches have a ready-to-grab tab which makes it so easy to apply onto the skin without you touching the sticky adhesive side and getting bacteria on it possibly. These were a huge win for my acne prone combination skin as at the first sight of a blemish, these patches stopped them dead in their tracks!

Not bad

I got these through Butterly and tried them everyday for a couple weeks over some bad pimples.
They were super easy to apply, especially with that little extra tab. Normally when I peel off a patch from the sheet, I crinkle up an edge or fold it over completely, then contaminate the underside because my finger has touched it. But this little tab is genius, makes it so easy to apply.

It's a pretty affective patch, I find that there's so much gunk pulled from my pimple by the morning and has really helped speed up the healing process.

The only downside is if your pimple is on a spot where there's lots of movement (i.e. around the mouth) or if you're naturally oily, the patch doesn't adhere as well over time and can lift off. And it's practically impossible to readhere, you'd need to apply a new one.

Otherwise, this was really nice! I love that there's two different sizes too.

Love this product

The Nexcare Brand Thin and Transparent Acne Patch** is a surprisingly effective solution for treating active breakouts discreetly. One of the standout features is its transparency and ultra-thin design, which allows it to blend seamlessly with my skin. I’ve found it easy to wear throughout the day, even under makeup, without it being noticeable.

In terms of performance, the patch does a great job of absorbing excess oil and drawing out impurities. After a few hours, you can see the patch turning white, indicating that it's working to extract the gunk from the blemish. I also appreciate that it provides a protective barrier against bacteria and external irritants, which helps prevent me from picking at the pimple.

The patch isn’t magic—it works best on whiteheads and newly formed pimples, but it doesn't do much for deep, cystic acne. However, for surface-level spots, it reduces redness and swelling quite effectively, often overnight.

My only minor critique is that because it's so thin, it's a little tricky to apply without folding or creasing it, but with a bit of patience, it's manageable. Overall, it's a reliable, affordable option for quick acne treatment, especially if you want something subtle for daytime use.

works very well!

These patches work so well! I love that they are so discreet I can even wear them out in public. They do not irritate the skin and clear your skin up very quickly.

Love these patches!

I really love these acne patches! They are very thin and transparent. I hardly noticed that I had put one on my face! They are also very easy to remove from the backing sheet by using the red tabs. They contain hydrocolloid to absorb oil and pus and I know they are working when the patches turn from clear to white. They are definitely handy to have around whenever I have a breakout.

Easy to use

Love the ready to grab tab as it prevents your fingers from touching the patch. Keeps it sticky all night long! For other brands I have to use tweezers to avoid my fingers from touching the patch.

Works like a charm!

Nexcare Thin & Transparent Acne Patches significantly reduced my partner and I’s acne inflammation AND most importantly prevented us from picking at our pimples (bad habit, I know).
