When you get a zit, it’s always tempting to pick it at it – which is a big no-no and can leave scarring. A spot appears from nowhere just before that big date, a wedding, or a special event. That’s where hydrocolloid stickers come in as they will banish that pesky spot overnight – or even during a day.

Pimple patches aren’t a new concept, but are the best way to treat those little breakouts without damaging the appearance of your skin.

The tiny skincare heroes don’t leave skin dry or flakey! The hydrocolloid bandages absorb fluid from the spot, and some are even designed with teeny tiny microneedles that push the treatment deeper into the skin to clear up the spots that haven’t quite surfaced yet but are red and painful!

Here's a list of the handy pimple patches to buy now:

Neogen Dermatology A-Clear Soothing Clear Spot Patch

Neogen Dermatology’s A-Clear Soothing Clear Spot Patch is part of the well-known Korean brand’s A-Clear offering. These fragrance-free, waterproof patches not only banish your pimples but aid the healing process by absorbing excess sebum. The patch shields the trouble area from further inflammation, and creates a moist environment that prevents scars from forming.

Peach Slices Deep Blemish Microdarts

This popular K-beauty retailer launched an affordable collection called Peach Slices. The original Acne Spot Dots became a hit right away, since they were on the thinner side as far as hydrocolloid stickers go, so you can easily wear them all day and no one could tell! These are perfect for the early stage and below-the-surface pimples as they contain over one hundred and seventy-six tiny, painless spikes infuse a clarifying blend of salicylic acid, tea tree, and willow bark into the targeted area to kick-start the acne-healing process — while hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and cica offer hydrating and soothing benefits.

Leave it on for at least two hours (or overnight) to bring down blemish swelling, redness, and size.
