11. Pus-absorbing, pimple-eliminating patches that I personally use and will confess, I get genuinely excited to take them off after hours of wear to see how much gunk they’ve pulled out of my clogged pores. Yes, it’s gross, but no, I will not apologize!
These have over 3,000 positive reviews and are my personal go-to brand of pimple patch (I have one on right now). I find that they work best once a zit is already open and especially if used overnight. Check out my full write-up on Nexcare pimple patches.
Promising review: “Okay, what is this sorcery?? I can’t believe I never knew these existed. I seriously felt like a teenager again last weekend. Literally days after talking about how great my skin has been, this giant, painful, bulging zit was starting to form right in the middle of my chin. A week before my cousin’s wedding, naturally. It was like it wouldn’t stop growing, and spot treatment solution was doing absolutely nothing. It hurt so bad, and I couldn’t help trying to pop it, but it refused. Then I heard about these. I placed one on my chin the second they arrived in the mail. After a few hours, I saw the white forming and I was curious and peeled it off. Then I put a fresh one on before bed, and come the next morning…HOLY COW, the entire dot of the patch was now a giant white blob. This zit was no joke. It’s amazing how much fluid/pus had to get sucked out. Like I said, this is some magic. The zit completely went away within a day.” —Heather R. Weather
