Avarelle Acne Pimple Patches (40 Count) Absorbing Hydrocolloid Spot Treatment with Tea Tree Oil, Calendula Oil and Cica, Certified Vegan, Cruelty Free

It works

These are my new favourite patches, they work amazing overnight or even throughout the day to absorb all the gunk out!

They stuck on all night, super durable. And I saw a change in the morning, my pimples had either disappeared or reduced overnight. Definitely worth it

I’ve been getting a lot of random spots here and there; mostly on my upper lip or just above there, also a few on the curves of my nose/bridge.

The patches are somewhat transparent but obvious in the light, which doesn’t bother me really I don’t care if people can see me with them on.

My issues lie in the fact that they don’t really stick all that well to your face, especially in the heat. That and they’re not really the best considering they are almost £12-£13.
Probably best in the future to try a different brand.

They definitely pull from spots, however I’m pretty sure that after using this a number of times, I have a hunch that they have increased the amount of time it takes for spots to heal. Maybe I’m placing the patches too early and it causes more to rise that otherwise wouldn’t? Unsure, but I do know that there’s a spot square on the center of my chest, and cheek that should’ve finished healing ages ago.

I have repurchased these, but I am going to be more mindful about where I stick them, probably back pimples only.

I recently bought this and they’re good but I wouldn’t say they’re better than others (such as Mighty Patch). I love the ‘large’ square patches which this pack comes with as my acne is currently out of control. You also get a number of small sizes to suit your spot size. The idea is that you simply place it on over night onto clean skin and in the morning the spot should have reduced in size and colour. Sometimes you can see the gunk absorbed into the patches which is so gross but also pretty satisfying! I don’t find the patches as sticky and find myself replacing them as they peel off and when I use the big patch and peel it off my skin, it looks rippled (it followed the layers on the patch). I do think this product works and it is worth a try to see if it works for you.

I have literally never written a review for anything in my entire life, but I feel compelled to share my experience with this product. I do not understand exactly what voodoo is behind these little patches, but I am not exaggerating when I say they are straight up miracle workers!! I’ve never been blessed with amazing skin, but until recently I took for granted the fact that the only real issue I had was a minor jawline breakout every few months around my cycle. As a 34 year old woman, I thought a pimple every few months was annoying, but was always able to cover it up with a little bit of concealer and move on with my day. I never had a real need for any medicated creams or special products. UNTIL a few months ago when I weaned my nine month old baby, and hell in the form of hormones entered my life. Along with my other less visible symptoms came the most horrid and painful case of cystic acne that there ever was. I woke up one morning with one lesion (not just a pimple), and by bedtime that same night I had two more. By the next morning it had spread over my entire face. I was actually terrified that I had some sort of staph infection. I visited my doctor, and was put on antibiotics to no avail. I was taking ibuprofen all day long for the pain. I went into panic mode and spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on new makeup and every skin care product and every prescription cream known to mankind. Nothing even touched this acne. I was beside myself. I am not being dramatic when I say that I could hardly look in the mirror. I canceled plans. I was embarrassed showing up to work, even contemplating calling in sick some days because it was so bad. I could never have understood the emotional drain that this kind of acne could be until it happened to me. At some point, because the chemical products weren’t working, I decided to try a more natural route. I cut dairy out of my diet. I tried essential oils. I practiced oil pulling every morning. I drank apple cider vinegar. I’m telling you, I was devoted. And, the acme barely budged. I considered going on Accutane, but it didn’t feel like a good fit for the fact that I’d like to have another baby at some point in the relatively near future. So I’m telling you, I was feeling totally hopeless. Then about a week ago, browsing Amazon in bed wondering if there was anything left in the world that I hadn’t tried, I came across these little patches. I wasn’t that excited about them, but they didn’t cost much and they were indeed something different, I figured it was worth a shot. They arrived Tuesday and I put them on overnight. Woke up Wednesday morning and was both impressed and disgusted by what I peeled off. My skin wasn’t irritated and the redness was reduced, but the acne was still very much present. I wore them to bed again on Wednesday night, and woke up the next morning to find that for the first time in months, my skin appeared to be healing. I was so excited that I actually almost cried. When I got home from work that afternoon I washed my face and was so encouraged that I put more patches on and wore them around the house for the rest of the day and evening. I am not kidding when I tell you that I took them off before bed to find that my acne, which had completely withstood the test of every dermatologist recommendation for months, was all but gone. GONE! I could not believe my eyes. I cannot tell you what an insane feeling of gratitude and relief I have for having found this product. If you are suffering with acne, do not hesitate for even one moment to buy these little suckers!
