NOTE: This review is on my wife's account (we just use hers). Not to be "braggadocious", but I speak from a LOT of experience ...
as a dad whose family (mom, dad, sister, and I) went through "dermatological hell", I've become more experienced with skin and acne (+ eczema, and more serious skin malady) products than anyone should have to! ...
I often joke, that if "someone looks at us the wrong way, our skin reacts badly, and breaks out"
Lately, I've been trying many brands of acne patches with my special needs (young adult) daughter ... She gets mostly surface acne, some hormonal acne, and a few cystic "beauties" (ugh) ... She's such a sweet, pretty "kid", who DESERVES to have equally pretty skin ... but our family skin history is a fight, and it's hard to keep her from touching her face. She can't do self care for her skin ... so I do it ...
Some of brands of these patches work very well at drawing out impurities, ie all the "junk", but some don't. Unfortunately, the brands with quantities of 120, 180, etc often seem less effective, especially the small 8mm size. They're useless, while the larger sizes are sometimes OK, but inconsistently draw out the "junk" ... Generally though, the "bargain" ones, have not proven to be an actual bargain.
"Hero" patches have been very good, but $12 (approx) for 36 patches is a bit high, in my humble opinion.
After reading some reviews, and watching a video or two, I'm now using THIS brand, "Dots for Spots" ($14 for 60 medium size). I've been pleases to see that they're consistently drawing out all the "yuck" out of the blemish, so the skin can then heal ... Yes, a big one, like a cystic one is RED afterward, but at least it's OUT, and FLAT, and ready to heal.
THESE patches (Dots for Spots) are a bit difficult to peel off (a CLEAN tweezer helps), and they should be firmly "sealed" against the surrounding skin, but if applied correctly, THEY WORK!
I wish these products did something even more important, PREVENTED the acne ... THAT is more the territory of Retin-A type products (prescription, or OTC). These are often CHALLENGING to use, as they can cause a LOT of redness and photosensitivity, REQUIRING sunblock (that wont clog pores) EVERY time we go outside! ...
If you have a similar goal (prevention of acne), with a similar safety concern, read about BAKUCHIOL (yes, it sounds like it'd be a Pokemon character, haha). It looks to be a Retin-A alternative that's MUCH safer ...
Good luck to all ... Peace :-)

Dots for Spots-how to use it DEMO So clear can not tell!
✅ Only the Best
This product is amazing! I've had the chance to use it about 5 times now and each time it gave me great results! It's not magic or anything like that, but like other reviews say, it works best at the end of the life of the pimple, when you see the white emerging. After putting it over the pimple overnight, it may or may not pull the white stuff out (see my pic when it did!), but the pimple always heals up much quicker than before, and with less "trauma" to the area, e.g. from squeezing or getting more inflamed. I was pleasantly surprised by this product's effectiveness and am now hooked onto it! Hopefully I won't have to use it often but if I do get a pimple, this product is definitely going on it!
