Whether you're having a good skin week, dealing with breakouts or feel a pimple coming on, we've been there! We wish there was one magical product that would help banish acne for every skin type, but we have yet to find that. However, pimple patches serve as an affordable, easy fix for white heads or oncoming pimples.
If you haven't dipped your toes into the patch game, it's definitely worth a try. Acne patches are easy to use, discrete and they help prevent picking. Plus, they absorb pus and impurities while reducing the size of blemishes. And if you're wondering how a small hydrocolloid dot can practically get rid of a pimple overnight, sometimes less is more when it comes to skincare
For our favorite pimple patches that we've tested on all kinds of blemishes, scroll below!

We have a stash of Mighty Patches on hand at all times for a reason! With pure medical-grade hydrocolloid, these dots help extract pus out of whiteheads and speed up healing.
