We street test three overnight pimple patches. Viewer Letter Hi Street Cents. My name is Chantal Lagimodiere. I'm 12 years old and I'm from Brooks, Alberta. They are circular, flat, plastic-like patches to stick on pimples.
Advertisements say the patches make skin blemishes disappear overnight.
But, if we read the packages more closely, we'll see that we should keep applying these patches until our blemishes dry up. That could be a week or more of pimple-patching. These pimple patches give the impression they'll clear up stray pimples overnight. But they don't. Street Cents tested three popular brands of pimple patches.
