They do what they Re supposed to do.

*Video shows removal of patch from skin that imprints easily/stretches* **TLDR Pros/Cons at the end of this review. Updates will be made if needed** As a 30 something with hormonal acne, an oily t zone, and a skin picking problem, hydrocolloid patches are some of my favorite products for self care. I've had decent luck with the form factor and adhesion of I Dew Care products for overnight use, but these chin/cheek patches aren't my favorite. If you have bigger breakouts on curved areas of skin, the size and shape of these is fantastic. You could also cut them down if needed, which helps provide a bit more value to a smaller set like this. I have finger dexterity issues and get easily frustrated by brands that package their patches directly onto the liner backing, as it is very difficult to peel the dots off without causing damage/lifted edges. Typically, I really like how I Dew Care includes slits in the backing sheets for their dot varieties, so I was curious to see how they'd handle the chin/cheek shape. Each patch is individually wrapped and has a seam down the middle of the backing. You can slightly fold the patch, making it easier to remove one half of the liner and then apply/remove the other half. These are a bit feistier to deal with if you have tremors/hand mobility issues than the dot patches, but still seem to waste less hydrocolloid material than other brands. Even if removed perfectly, however, my application attempts yield wrinkles in the patch. Adhering to curves on the face, it makes sense that they don't sit perfectly flush, but it makes them more noticeable when wearing. Compared to I Dew Care's circle patches, these definitely provide more of a, "do I have tape on my face?" sensation when trying to sleep. I was surprised, however, with the amount of moisture absorbed the next day. My skin takes impressions easily, and can get irritated by certain materials. While the patch's wrinkles grew overnight and left indents on my chin, my skin doesn't feel irritated. Overall, these are effective, but I feel the bang for your buck is better with the other sets from I Dew Care. Pros: -absorbs more than expected -helpful shape for large areas -can cut patches down if needed Cons: -wrinkles/tough to apply smoothly -a bit pricy for the amount of patches compared to other I Dew Care sets -slit liner backing helps, but can be a bit tough with finger dexterity issues

These work great! I love the "I Dew Care" brand and their products are consistently good at doing what they claim to do. They also tend to be pretty fun to use. I've tried many of their Hydrocolloid Acne Pimple Patches and they are all great (except for the one's that look like paw prints - those don't work and I don't understand why . . . maybe I just got a bad pack). These are excellent for larger areas that are breaking out. They really do pull all the nasty gunk out of your pores and leave your skin soothed and in a state where it is ready to heal. I recommend leaving these on for as long as you (as in overnight or all day) and following these up with a gentle non-drying but oil absorbing mask or cleanser to aid in the healing process. The green line of products from I Dew Care are an excellent option as they are super gentle and soothing, but still great at absorbing oil.

Although these are a little more difficult than others I’ve tried to remove I still give it 5 stars. They do a superb job at soaking up fluid from breakouts. I often get breakouts on my chin so this larger size is nice to cover the whole area. I will say at times I will have to use two to cover my entire chin, but having the option to use one or two depending on size of the breakout is nice. Once you put one on, it is going to stay on all night, I mean not budge a millimeter! The adhesive is very good and you do have to tug somewhat to get it off. This, to me, is a small price to pay to get a clearer chin overnight.

I have used similar products in the past and these hold up to those for sure. I'm not about the science behind these patches but I'm glad they work. I tend to eat greasy foods (like pizza, burgers, Chinese etc.) so with the oils that come out of my skin by the next morning in addition to having genetically oily skin (thanks dad Haha) I tend to end up with random acne bumps on my cheeks, chin, forehead.... just one or two here and there. I peel these little patches off, stick it on at bedtime and in the morning, the size has decreased, redness has decreased and if it's a whitehead, that is usually on the patch and "soaked" in so it all just peels away. Magic. I love these patches. Will continue to use until my face acts right.

I tried these on myself first and then my son. Maybe over time they do more but I haven't really seen a change. I put it over one of my sons white heads and it didn't make it go away. It made it easier to pop so I'm not sure of that's what it's supposed to do. I have sensitive skin and it didn't not cause either of us to have a bad reaction
