Pimple spot treatments have never been the most glamorous of beauty products, UNTIL NOW! The pink heart-shaped Blemish Treatment Acne Heart Patchess by Truly seem deceptively simple and way too cute to actually work but their ability to summon bacteria and debris from deep within the skin is no freaking joke. It's simple; you just slap one on your zit and wake up with a gunk-filled patch, a flattened pimple, and no dryness! It'll make getting your next pimple a teensy bit more exciting. Key Ingredients: ... Well there's only one! Hydrocolloid: These acne patches are made with the highest quality hydrocolloid, which is a fluid absorbing agent that draws out pus and other impurities from your pimple. Hydrocolloid technology extracts impurities while creating a protective barrier that guards against external irritants. By protecting your blemishes from bacteria, inflammation, and picking, these dots also reduce the potential for acne scarring. Whether you're struggling with hormonal acne, whiteheads, or inflamed pimples, your blemish is less red, less painful, and significantly less irritating in as little as six hours.

Bought these in the store today and already healing a cyst!

I am SO stunned. I've had a deep cyst or what I thought might be a blocked lymph node or something under the skin on my cheek. It's been there for months, but doesn't hurt at all. It's just a strange new addition. I put a patch on the large area (abt 1cm diam) at around 17:40 and it's 1:30 now and the cyst is already about half the size it used to be. I can actually see and feel the difference! I just bought these cuz they were adorable and I really didn't expect them to work. I put them on two other spots which were quite inflamed. It worked well to dehydrate them and "bring them to a head" and I can barely believe how it reduced the inflammation. I have ornery skin that turns red easily and this eliminated that in the shape of a heart which I think is pretty great. If this company made sheet masks of this, I would buy them for life. I am so sold on this product. Please never stop selling these!

Buy a different brand instead

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE PATCHES!! These didn't work at all for me, and I've tried many times, with acne that has come to a head and acne that is below the surface as well. The only thing it does is cover up the blemish and keep you from picking at it. I have really sensitive skin and these didn't harm/dry out my skin, but they also didn't do anything they were supposed to do. The idea is that all of the puss is extracted from a pimple, but only when I used them on a blemish that had a head was there any extraction and that was only from the adhesive, not the actual chemical process like other patches. There is still puss in the blemish when that happens and the inflammation is not reduced at all.

Cute and Effective!

Michic from Portland, Or

These patches are very easy to use, just peel and stick. I even used some on my boyfriend. Each time, we've left the sticker on overnight or equivalent hours. They help protect the blemish (against mindless picking or rubbing against things) and they seem to speed up the healing process. Only downside was on a rather large pimple, it stuck to the "head" and so when I pulled the heart off, it opened the pimple like a small wound.

Horrible

Alyssa from Plymouth

Not sure if it's just my skin, but these patches did absolutely nothing for me. I think they're just for aesthetic purposes because it felt like I was just putting cute stickers on my face.

Very cute, stays on all day/night & under makeup

Jessie from New Mexico

I wanted a patch that would stay on, look cute, keep me from picking, and provide some minor acne/medicated benefits. This does all of the above and they really do stay on. I apply this after skincare but before any oils or *heavy* moisturizers and it stays on great all night and when I've worn them visibly during the day under my makeup but over spf. They're awesome. If you break out a lot like me this is not a necessity— get some salicylic acid in a big bottle, and some cheap acne stickers to add value— but if you're looking for something nice and "extra" to make you perk up during a bad breakout, this is for you. 💛

kiwi from NYC

I've tried other highly rated acne patches in the past and found them to be really gimmicky and useless, but these were so cute that I had to try - and wouldn't you know, they actually worked overnight! will def repurchase

These things are Magic!

KC from Florida

Got these for my 16yr old daughter for her occasional breakout. She loves them!! Puts one on the pimple & by morning the pimple is flat and no longer red! They hide the pimple and are super cute ! I will definitely be purchasing more of these for her!

Cute but not cuttin

Isela09 from Ontario,Ca

I love these sticker patches for acne, use them overnight and works wonders.

Barely works

2

Anilorac from Texas

I received a sample of these with my order a few months ago and just finished them. It came with 24 patches, and out of those 24, literally only 3 of them actually worked. I would put these on at night and in the morning there would be zero improvement on the pimple. The few that worked actually managed to pull out some of the gunk in the pimple, but the rest only had oil on them when I peeled them off in the morning (I have combo/oily skin). Plus, I always cleaned my skin before applying these too. Not worth purchasing in my opinion.

Good for oily

4

Meg from PA

Over all I like these patches I have found that they work best for oily pimples that have already been popped. I feel like they are successful at pulling out the extra oil under the surface and make the blemish flat overnight. They are also okay at bringing a pimple to a head but it takes a couple days and I tend to be a picker so I don't love them for that. Over all I think I will continue to use.

100% recommend!!!!

Melissa S. from San Diego, CA

Just used these at night over a few angry pimples I had that were just not healing. I woke up and they were no longer swollen and were way less red. It is gross seeing what had risen to the surface in a night but it just goes to show how much they work.

THE BEST IVE USED

MB from Utah

I've tried a lot of these and these are by far the best!!! I wake up and the zit is almost completely gone all the gunk just sticks to the patch!!! So good

don't work :(

d from michigan

i've seen the same type of product by other brands work great for people where they pull out the whitehead completely but unfortunately these don't work at all. i tried them 5-6 different times now on all different types of pimples but haven't seen any difference, i was really excited for these but i should've bought a different brand

They work!

Imani from Orlando, FL

I put this patch on my white heads at night and when I wake up the white head is at the surface just to wipe away! Like magic

Did nothing to heal acne

Khue from Huntington Beach, CA

I wanted to try this as a cute alternative to the almighty CosRX patches. Please just buy the CosRX ones. These did not suck up the acne pus and heal my acne in one day like the CosRX did. They only provided a cute barrier as to prevent bacteria from entering. But when I took them off, the pus was still oozing out.

Helps Decrease Pimple Size

4

Jay from Detroit MI

I used this on an "under the skin" pimple on my chin, I noticed a decrease in size and redness after keeping it on the first night and I kept re applying one every night for a couple days until it was flat. Never dried my skin out which is nice because I have sensitive skin and most spot treatments dry my skin like crazy. I've used this on smaller white heads as well and they help in the same way, they literally pull the puss out of your pimple and increase healing time.

Really Recommend

It's super easy to put on your blemishes and to take off as well. My blemishes do appear smaller and flattened !

They don't do much.

I was hoping to purchase another brand, but these were in stock in store. I wish they stuck better, were circles instead of hearts, and worked better. I will continue to use them since they're not hurting anything, but I have low expectations.

Doesn't Work

2

Paco from Temecula

I'm giving these 2 stars only because they are extremely cute in design, but honestly they did not work on my acne - even the ones that have come to head. They did adhere to my skin for the full night, but I think the patch is too thin in width to do what it was intended for. Yeah you do get a lot of product per purchase, but at the same time save your money.

Not the best available

2

Cincy Skin Care from Cincinnati

I purchased these because I've had great success with hydrocolloid patches in the past, and these seemed to be the only ones Ulta offered. Unfortunately, these simply do not stick down well enough to produce the same results as other brands. If you have a large pimple (like the kind these are worth using on), the patch will not cover it. I would only recommend these if you absolutely cannot find an alternative.

just didn't work

elsie from San Diego

I'd leave them overnight and sometimes during the day I never saw a difference no matter how long I left them on my face. I wouldnt buy again

Not bad but not impressed

Kim from Pennsylvania

I was very excited to try this product because I have recently had a HUGE acne breakout that I have not been able to quell. These were great in the way that they covered the blemishes and kept me from picking and making things worse. Unfortunately, I did not see any change or improvement in the actual healing or progression of the acne.

don't even bother buying
