Product Overview and Packaging
I purchased the Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots from CVS for around $4. The packaging claims these patches are fast-acting, drug-free, non-drying, and absorb secretions for faster healing. They are transparent and come in three sizes: small, medium, and large.
Each box contains 30 patches, offering a cost-effective solution for spot treatment. The hydrocolloid patches promise to protect wounded skin and diminish the appearance of blemishes.
The patches themselves are clear stickers, similar in appearance to hydrocolloid bandages often used for blemishes. Application is simple: just apply to clean skin and leave on for eight hours or overnight.
Application and Initial Impressions
The reviewer applies the patches to various blemishes on her forehead and cheek. She notes that she has a mix of pimples, some about to pop and others under the surface, as well as a scab on her cheek.
Application is straightforward; peel the patch from the backing and carefully place it onto the blemish, ensuring firm adherence. The reviewer points out there's no cooling or heating sensation during application – it simply feels like a sticker.
The reviewer mentions that she usually applies moisturizer after using the patches, but that night she kept it simple, focusing on hydration with argan oil and eye cream, to avoid interference with the patches.
Overnight Results and Final Thoughts
After a 10-hour sleep, the reviewer removes the patches and shows the results. Each patch contains a noticeable amount of fluid, suggesting absorption of oils and impurities from the blemishes.
The reviewer notes that the pimples that were ready to pop are now flatter and less visible. The under-the-surface pimples showed less improvement, but their size was noticeably reduced. The patch applied to the scab surprisingly removed the scab itself.
Overall, the reviewer is very satisfied with the results. She considers the Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots a great quick fix, especially for pimples about to pop. The product's ability to draw out impurities effectively and its ease of use make it a worthwhile purchase in her opinion.
