I don’t remember pimple patches like these existing when I was a teenager (or in my 20s), and we definitely didn’t have the super visible, colorful ones that Gen Z likes to use. (Is that still a thing?)

I wouldn’t call these COSRX pimple patches a miracle, but almost. When I see a pimple pop up that looks like it’ll turn into a gross one, I slap one of these clear hydrocolloid bandages on (waterproof, though I haven’t tested the claim) and let it do its work. (You can definitely see them up close, but I’d be fine going on errands sporting one of these.) When the patch turns white(ish), which for me was a few hours or so, you remove it.

With the last pimple I had, which was on my upper lip (aren’t those just great?), using just one patch drastically reduced the time it took to go away, and it never got bigger or became a gross whitehead. Two days later, I hardly noticed anything was there. I wholeheartedly recommend these patches (as you can probably tell, ha).

Y’know, I should probably try more COSRX products soon. Readers, do you have any faves?

COSRX’s acne patches, which come in various sizes of packs, are available at Amazon ($8.99 for 48, plus other quantity options) and Ulta (online only; $6 for 24; $19 for 90).
