Review (5/5): Best Blemish Patches
Have tried multiple different brands of these hydrocolloid blemish patches and find these to be, hands down, the best. These patches are a little thinner overall and feature an even thinner edge so they both stay in place better with no lifting and sit almost entirely flush with the skin. They prevent picking and are themselves difficult to pick at. They also draw exudate exceptionally well and at least 90% of my blemishes are gone within 8 to 12 hours with zero scabbing and no redness or scarring. I find that they are easiest applied with tweezers and removed after applying a warm, moist washcloth to them. They are on the smaller side but I've yet to have a blemish they haven't handled admirably. And, since my skin is overly sensitive to salicylic acid, I greatly appreciate that these are untreated patches; the straight-up hydrocolloid works just fine.
