I’m not too sure who needs to hear this, but please stop picking at your pimples and blemishes. We’re in 2021, and there’s a better alternative to clearing your acne than popping it (which, as we all know, is a big no-no.) Instead, try applying an acne patch or, as I like to call them, a pimple sticker. These bad boys are thin yet mighty and powerful.
If you are concerned that these patches will dry your skin, don’t be. Their primary focus is to prevent you from picking at your pimples and causing any infections or spreading. All you need to do is simply apply the patch directly on your pimple, make sure your skin is clean, and the acne patch will do the rest. You’ll slowly see the acne treatment working by noticing the area getting flatter and removing all signs of redness. You simply peel it off after a couple of hours or when you wake up, and you will see instant results – I can’t lie, the process is pretty fascinating.
We rounded up the 5 greatest acne patches below.
