Question 1

How long leave it on?

Accepted Answer

When I was living overseas, I had 20 or more freckles and moles lasered off of my face and upper neck area, and after the procedure, my doctor instructed me to cover all of the open wounds with medical grade hydrocolloid dressing [which was a lot thicker and less durable than the Biorica's Acne Patches], my doctor recommended that I remove the hydrocolloid dressing every 12 or 24 hours (basically after cleansing my face once in the morning and once at night to ensure that my open wounds would not get wet) BUT after removing the dressing, I was instructed to reapply it ASAP. I wanted to share this tidbit because based on my personal experience and the recommendation of a licensed medical professional, I was basically informed that it would be all right to keep hydrocolloid dressing on our skin for an extended period of time. My doctor actually said that if it wasn't for the poor air quality and humidity in Taipei, Taiwan, we could leave the dressing on for up to five days on certain parts of our body (not the face because the skin on our face is normally thinner and regenerates at a different pace compared to the skin on our body). With that being said, my wound took a little over two weeks to completely heal so I had the hydrocolloid dressing placed over each open wound for probably 12- 14 days straight. The only time that the hydrocolloid dressing was not covering my wounds was for the 5- 10 mins after my morning shower and 5- 10 mins after I washed my face at night. Before going through this process, I was always under the impression that we need to allow our skin to breathe and I thought that using the hydrocolloid dressing for almost two weeks might be an issue but it was not, it was not.

Now to actually answer, How long leave it on?
I will leave the Biorica Ance Patches on my face for at least 6 hours (I typically want to see the yellowish/ white gel foam form on the patch because seeing the foam makes me feel like the patches are working. Plus, I just find it way more satisfying to remove a patch that has foamed up. 
The longest I will keep the acne patch on doesn't exceed 24 hrs.

Side note- sometimes the patches will completely foam up (it depends on the severity of your pimple) and when that happens, it's best to go with the appearance of how much foam has formed on the patch. If the patch that is on your pimple is more yellowish-white foam than it is nude, it's time to remove the patch, properly wash and dry your face before applying on a new patch.

Question 2

Is there any alcohol in this product?

Accepted Answer

I don’t think so, I didn’t fully read all the ingredients but, after using the product my skin was never dried out or irritated by this acne patches.

Question 3

How long do this pimple patches stay on for?

Accepted Answer

I put them on overnight. Sometimes use it throughout the day.

Question 4

Are these pretty thick and absorbent? I really want a thicker spot cover. Is this the one?

Accepted Answer

They are thicker than some I have tried  but not as thick as others.  For me, the thicker they tend to be, they don’t seem to stay on as well. However, the thinner they are, the less absorbent. You’ve got to find your happy medium & what works best for you. My favorite are the Rael patches. They are on the thinner side but work extremely well...  At least they do for me. These are the next best thing. They are thicker than the Rael patches but still work well.  .
