Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi all, I hope my post is within guidelines. Over the past years I've been battling hormonal acne and Sahara level dry skin so I tried a few different acne pimple patches and wanted to share my experience, hopefully it might help somebody.Type of acne: Hormonal + some from sensitive skinSkin type / concerns: sensitive and very dryI'm going to rate them by adhesion, absorption, staying power, amount of patches and overall feel.Patch sizes: 7mm & under - tiny, 10mm and under - medium, above 10mm - big.[COSRX] - Acne Pimple Master Patch 5.75/10Adhesion 7/10: adheres nicely but could be better with dry skin, some corners might come off, average thickness.Absorption 7/10: takes a while to get everything out.Staying Power 5/10: these tend to fall off me by the morning.Amount of Patches 4/10: 10 tiny + 5 medium + 9 big (24) - the tiny ones are useless to me to be honest, I wouldn't use patches on the kind of tiny pimples these would cover and they don't stay on well.Overall these patches are alright, but for their price I only get to use 14/24 patches so not worth it. Average price ~$3.50 (I bough mine from 3 different sources over time, all were the same, be careful though because it seems there are fake versions on Amazon.) These patches are overhyped, there are better out there.[Etude House] - AC Clean Up Spot Patch 6/10 (small package version)Adhesion 7/10: not bad adhesion, these were thinner than other patches, less visible.Absorption 6/10: average absorption, nothing out of the ordinary, meaning there was still some left under the skin.Staying Power 7/10: stayed well overnight but pulled easily in the morning.Amount of Patches 4/10: 8 medium + 8 big (16) I got the small version so it had the least amount of patches of them all, it's a bit confusing because they keep updating the packaging and the different patches inside.Overall not bad but nothing that made me want to repurchase, none of that added "medication" did anything for me. Average price ~$3 for 16 patches compared to others is not good.[Mizon] - Bye Bye Pimple Patch 9.75/10Adhesion 10/10: great adhesion, these are the type that have a thick center and thinner edges, best design.Absorption 9/10: great absorption, filled up and got fat overnight.Staying Power 10/10: stayed on very well, sometimes it was a bit painful to peel it off, that's how you know it's good lol.Amount of Patches 10/10: 24 medium, in my experience with cystic hormonal acne this is the best size of patches that you're going to use most of the time if not all the time so that was a winner.Overall these were great and I'm getting more, there are pricier than others with an average price of $4, they seem to be getting more expensive nowadays though.[A'pieu] - Cica Clear Spot Patch 9.25/10Adhesion 9/10: great adhesion but with an even thickness. While still somewhat thick they seem to become invisible on my skin.Absorption 10/10: great absorption, they get real fat.Staying Power 9/10: stayed on very well, they're thick but very flexible.Amount of Patches 9/10: 10 medium + 10 big (20), good assortment of patches but wish there were more.Overall these are great patches, my current go to is between these Mizon when it's in stock. They work great but are a bit expensive with an average price of $4.[SOME BY MI] - 30 Day Miracle Clear Spot Patch 9/10Adhesion 10/10: same as Mizon, thick center with thin edges design, best designAbsorption 10/10: best absorption of all the patches I tried, they get pretty fat.Staying Power 10/10: stayed on very well due to the design, same as Mizon.Amount of Patches 6/10: 9 medium + 9 big (18), however because the thin edge is bigger than the Mizon ones you would rather count these as 9 small + 9 medium and I wish there were more in the packaging.Overall these were great but the average price being ~$5 is super expensive, most expensive of all and they have less than the average amount of patches. Are they worth it? well that's debatable, I would take Mizon over these if they were in stock any day. For less or a similar price (depending where you buy it) you get 6 more patches of the same great design and quality.And lastly I want to add a western brand I tried from Amazon as a warning, "Le Goushe" Acne Pimple Master Patch 72 dots" for $12, these were just plain bad, no absorption, no adhesion, and to top it all off, when I left a 3 star review on Amazon I got harassed by the vendor to the point of deleting my Amazon account. No thanks, next.
