Rael Pimple Patches, Miracle XL Spot Control Cover - Hydrocolloid Acne Pimple Patch for Face, Zits & Blemish, Back and Body, Korean Skin Care (8 Count)

These patches work really well for helping mitigate the cystic acne situation I have on my chin. I wish there were more than 9 of them in a pack because I went through them too fast, but they did help with the pain and discomfort so I consider them worth the cost.

They work wonders

Im gonna be honest, i first bought these, really just HOPING that they would work since i use this brand a lot. I was definitely put off a bit by the reviews, but i just wanted to give it a shot myself. Afterall, i had a scarring situation going on with a spot on the left side of my face. So it was prime time to try these patches out. I mean the blemish stood out so much- that some people would come up to me in public and ask if i had piercings that i had taken out, where the mark was. So it was very, very, noticeable. I started using these after i got home from work, washing my face, using a toner, a brightening serum("good molecules" branded), and then putting it on. I had actually been trying to help manage the spot with my brightening serum already for a while at that point, so im sure that the serum did SOMETHING to help, but the mark really started to go away when i actually started to use the patches. At first, I ended up using 3 patches out of the pack of 6; as this is before i knew how to really use it without any issues. And i would definitely say- right off the bat, that when you read the instructions, and it says to, "leave on for 6+ hours"; you should not assume that you are meant to take it off after just 6-7 hours. I did that with the 1st patch, and it left a lot of the residue from the darts on my face, never soaking in. 2nd time, i left it on longer; it left less residue. And the 3rd time, i believe i left it on for maybe around 10-12 hours? All of it soaked in, and that's when i really noticed changes in the visibility of that blemish. I've since used the rest of the pack on it, and the blemish is finally gone. I no longer get asked questions by strangers in public anymore, so that's definitely a plus... I'd probably say that this is just a smidge off of 5 stars because i wouldn't reccomend that you use this just by itself though. I don't think that slapping this on your face for 10 hours is gonna fix anything, because it's not how i recieved results. What you are already using on a day-to-day basis is gonna influence how beneficial these can really be to you, and that no one is gonna get the exact same results with these. If this is the first time you're purchasing these, you're most likely gonna waste the first 2-3 patches like i did, figuring out how they react to your skin and your routine. So dont waste the whole pack and expect results if you dont experiment with these. Using every patch the same way, every time, for 6 hours- and then taking it off; isn't going to give you any meaningful results, so dont be afraid to test some things out with these. I'm not sure if i'll have a need to buy this again any time soon, my skin has been somewhat behaving recently. But if i get any bad blemishes, I'll know to grab this for next time :]]

I had to see it myself to believe it, but these are truly magic. I started out with the 9-pack because I was skeptical, but I will definitely be ordering more. I am a woman in my 50s, and I don't often get pimples, but when I do, they are the deep, hard, painful, cystic type that never come to a head. They can lurk below the surface for weeks or months, sometimes flaring up and getting really red and painful, and other times just being a lump I can see/feel below the surface. Using most over-the-counter acne lotions didn't affect the cyst, and left the surface dry, crusty, and scabby. When the cyst finally went away, it would often leave a scar. Most recently, I've had one of these cysts on my cheek for over six weeks. At times, it was so painful that the throbbing would wake me up/keep me up at night. I'd have to hold an icepack on it to try to reduce the swelling and pain. I was finally about ready to make an appointment with a dermatologist, although the creams and lotions they have prescribed in the past have been expensive and haven't been very helpful. When I was searching the internet for home remedies for cystic acne, I stumbled upon these patches. As a last resort, I thought I'd try them a try. I received my order yesterday and tried one patch right away, but admittedly, I screwed it up. After removing the large circle from the square backing, I thought that the smaller circle was another covering that needed to be peeled off. I figured out that this smaller circle was the "microneedle" part, so I tried to piece it back together. The first patch worked somewhat, but I clearly didn't do it right. Then I tried a second patch, this time doing it correctly. Pressing the microneedle for five seconds as directed felt sort of like pressing velcro into my skin, not painful. I felt very minor tingling while wearing the patch; again, not painful, but sort of like a little tickle or itch. After two hours, the patch was bulging with liquid extracted from the cyst. I used a third patch with the same result. After three patches and about 8 hours later, my cyst is almost entirely gone, without any redness or flakiness. Now I'm kicking myself that I've been living with this stupid enormous zit in the middle of my face for weeks when it could have been dissolved in a day had I acted on this sooner. Simply amazing!

I've tried the competitor Mighty Patches and a couple other pimple patches. These are my favorite because they stay on the best and do the best job of healing/absorbing. The Microcrystal Spot Cover actually hurts a little when you put it on from the little spikes... but I love that because I feel like it's actually doing something! I wish they were a little more affordable.

While the product shows some promise in improving the appearance of fresh acne scars, I found it overpriced for what you receive—only nine patches per package. My primary reason for purchasing was to target post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, specifically a persistent brown spot that has been present for several months. Unfortunately, the patch caused significant irritation in that area, including redness, inflammation, a burning sensation, and subsequent peeling. Despite this reaction, there was no noticeable improvement in the pigmentation—the spot remains unchanged in both size and color. That said, the product appears to work well on newer, active scars, where I observed some positive effects without irritation or adverse reactions. However, due to its limited effectiveness on older pigmentation and the high cost, I wouldn't repurchase. It may be worth trying for recent acne marks, but I wouldn't recommend it for more established hyperpigmentation.

Have used the major brand and didnt work. Got these for my tween amd it worked overnight!

Okay I absolutely love these. I would even cut some up and use them in different places. I do wish I would have gotten just the regular ones but I had to try these out. And I definitely don't regret it because of the price! It was cheap and that was what was important for me for what I needed. As far as comfort is concerned, I felt like it's something you should definitely wear to bed but it also is a personal choice of course. Taking it off was pretty easy. It was crazy to see how effective these are in general. I noticed the ones that are not slightly opaque? Are not as effective. I didn't notice it on my chin in terms of comfort. It was pretty comfortable to wear. It was also very easy to put on. I know sometimes with these there is that annoying little edge that can get bent and then you have to just scrap it and restart with a new one so it's perfectly flat I guess if you're a perfectionist but also if you just want it to be totally flat in general. I have yet to find a brand that doesn't fold in that little corner like that when you're peeling them off. Some patience works wonders though! I'm working on it okay? Haha. Enjoy seeing the gunk!
