Advanced Pimple Reversa Microneedle Patches x4 | Next Generation Spot Sticker Treatment for Blind Pimples & Cystic Acne | With Salicylic Acid, Totarol & Green Tea Extract

I wanted to wait until I'd given these patches a good chance and used the majority of them (7/8 patches used) before leaving a review. I suffer from various forms of acne and have previously been on roaccutane when it was severe and cystic. Now I still get the occasional nodular cyst type of acne but mainly small red spots that ocassionally come to a head but not always.When I used these patches I only used them at night as they're quite obvious and big, they could cover two spots close to each other. The red spots always came to a head in the morning, which shows they do draw out the impurities (even if it looked ugly af). But often they left a dry, flaky residue, this can be washed off though (it's not burnt skin as I've seen in another review, it's the salicylic acid and other ingredients). They're not painful at all but feel like velcro when you first put them on. But they can be tricky to manipulate when putting them on, it took me a little while to work out how best to approach them. They have "peel this side" written on the plastic sheet to help you but I touched the wrong side of my first one trying to peel it off so just be aware of that. When you take them off they can also leave a ring where the adhesive has been but this goes after a bit.Basically it takes two patches to get rid of a spot, one to bring it to a head and then one the following night to heal it up, although this only happened with one of mine, the other 2 spots I used 2 patches on took longer to heal still and I wasn't about to waste another patch on them. I'm not sure this is much faster than when I just left them alone? But I'm a picker and these also stopped me picking at them. I had one spot that was a cystic spot and it went away overnight with one of these patches but that's my only real success with them.I would buy these again if they were much cheaper as with the amount of spots I get it's not practical or economical. If you only get the occasional spot give these a go. But if you're a picker like me with quite a few spots just go for plain hydocolloid patches to prevent picking.A summary of patch use:Patch 1 - brought red spot to a head and when I removed the patch it left a residue. I washed this off but burst the spot in the processPatch 2 - used on burst spot 24hr after patch 1, healed up to a red spot and went down over the next 48hrsPatch 3 & 4 - both went on red spots on chin and forehead, brought both to a head. Did not burst either this time.Patch 5 & 6 - put on spots covered by patches 3&4, a repeat of patch 2 essentially. Took 48hrs to heal fully after these patchesPatch 7 - cystic spot, an under the skin not near a head at all type of spot, took this one right down and never came to a head at all. These are the most painful spots and I don't get many of them. The only real success with these patches.Tldr: good if you have the ocassionally singular spot and can afford to spend £4.50 and 48hrs getting rid of it. Or a cystic spot that's painful, they're good for that. However if you have multiple spots you will be bankrupt and maybe still not get results

I enjoyed using these patches there a bit pricy but I like them there okay definetly helped sooth some of the spots that popped up but honestly out side of being soothing and calming I didn't see a massive difference, with other pimple patches that I have used the spot usually goes down and goes away or (sorry for being gross) the puss inside the spot gets drawn out safely and after clean up and reaplication the spot goes away. It would be too harsh to say they didn't work because these patches DID sooth and even calm the spot but not much else, though that is just my experience.

I had high hopes...The patch is quite strong. It didn't get rid of my annoying spot but appeared to burn a circle into my skin! It dried up the surface but left the spot underneath. £20 not well spent me thinks!

It's worth paying more for the Zitsticka ones. The size of the sticker is way too big. Also the formulation is a bit off. I have tried the two brands ans these ones leave residue and irritate the skin leaving a red circle where you applied it.

Not my fave. I feel like they could've been smaller and more of them.

They're very effective at reducing time you have to deal with a blemish for. The only downsides are that they sting a little as you press them in place and the packaging makes it easy to touch the active surface of the sticker whilst you're trying to put it on

Tried this one in hope to find a microneedling patch that was cheaper then zitsticka. Didn’t work at all for me.

These little beauties really do work! They very quickly helped calm down an angry under the skin spot I had.
