MED PRIDE Hydrocolloid Bandages 4in by 4in Adhesive Pads, Absorbent Hydrocolloid Dressings for Wounds, Burns, Ulcers, Acne, Multi-Day Use (4'' x 4'' 5 Thin)

Excellent product, far far superior to the normal “band aid “. The wound actually heals! Once you use this product you’ll never go back to the previous product again. You can even shower with it,and it doesn’t peal off in the shower!

Not only do these feel like they work better and stay on my skin longer, they're an INSANE amount of product for the price. Compared to normal pimple patches (i have clear stars in the photo) 1 sheet alone is the same amount of product as a pack of patches. NEVER GOING BACK!

Some years ago, when hydrocolloid bandages came into the commercial market, I bought some for a cut I had. When I saw how it absorbed fluid, it occurred to me, this stuff could be useful for zits. So, I cut up a bandage into squares and tried it. Sure enough, after one night, the patch had swelled up and the zit had gone down significantly. I used the bandages that way for a few years and then the “acne patches” came out. I’ve now tried numerous brands of acne patches but the companies who produce them are stuck on this idea of making them “ultra thin” and claiming they can be worn in public because they’re “invisible”. Well, that may be so, from a distance but, up close, they are definitely visible. So it seems dumb to me that these acne patch companies sacrifice absorbency for “thinness”. The thicker stuff sucks out SO much more goo. It’s a shame because the precut circles are much easier to use (especially with the perforated backing) but they just don’t make them thick enough. The bandage companies also have gotten on the “thin” wagon, but these are labeled “X-Thin” and they’re more than twice as thick as the thickest acne patches I could find. These absorb very nicely and are ok as far as adhesion goes, tho, I wish they were a bit stickier. Just be sure to get your face sneaky clean and dry before applying and cut your squares large enough to have a good border around the edges of your blemish and get a proper seal. Trust me y’all, this DIY pimple patch is WAY better AND less expensive than the ones made for acne. They do not look pretty but they WORK.

I liked these but didn’t love them. I ordered these for the large size after I burned myself cooking. I liked that the bandage blended onto my skin making it not as noticeable and protected my raw skin/ blisters. The edges did roll a bit and it wasn’t quite as “cushy” as the other brand. (that other brand didn’t come nearly as large as this brand.) I would reorder if I needed this size again.

I added these to my medical bag and have used them on several occasions. They work very well. I'm a retired firefighter medic on a large fire department and we use them to treat patients on the street. Very happy with my purchase and will be reordering more since I have used them quite often

1st time using the X-Thin. It curls up b4 applying to skin. Be very careful- although hard when on your side/back area. Feels good once on. But when there's only 5 in a pack and 2 mess up, you're in a pinch for coverage.
