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

I want to begin by saying I purchased these on my own with no discount compensation or incentive. These have been life changing for me. As opposed to other brands, this has been the only one that works in protecting and getting rid of pimples, and is absolutely the only one that is thin and transparent enough to wear in public or under makeup. Cosrx also makes a hyrdocolloid patch similar to this, which is only meant to absorb anything inside your breakout (aka they only are meant to really work on whiteheads) however when I’ve used their version, it sticks out like a sore thumb and makes no difference in the size or appearance of my breakout after the recommended wear time. Since the avarelle patches also contain soothing ingredients, they work to calm inflammation in breakouts that are under my skin as well; I no longer use ANY spot treatments, and aside from masks this is the only product I use to treat my occasional breakouts. After sleeping with the avarelle patches, my breakouts are usually either totally flat, or gone. However, I continue to use them after to treat any leftover redness or after extractions to help the skin heal. Please give these a try, they’ve been life changing for me; since I’ve been using thes I no longer pick at my pimples, and my skin has improved DRASTICALLY. I’ve attached photos comparing the Avarelle patches to the other brand for reference. As you can see the avarelle patches are paper thin and colorless, but somehow still absorb a million times more than the cosrx.I’d like to add that I’ve never spent this much time on a review before, although I rely heavily on them when I purchase on amazon. After buying these for the fourth time, the company was thoughtful enough to send me a handwritten thank you note. Any company puts that much effort into caring for their customers and delivers a product this amazing is one that deserves commendation.

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!

If you are looking for relief from ocassional (2-3 a month) painful, unwelcome cystic acne, then run, don’t walk and buy this product! I’ve tried other drying products such as sulfur, benzoyl peroxide, toothpaste (??!!)... but I didn’t have any luck and only had dry patches the next morning.I put these patches on as soon as I feel the “here we go again” tenderness on my chin. Within 2-3 days, they’re gone. I am 31 years old and am experiencing cystic acne for the first time. 😑Go buy this product and experience the magic yourself.

I never write reviews but as someone who knows the battle of cystic acne I found nothing works! It literally ruined my self esteem having those big bulging boils all over my face, even at home alone I would have to cover them with makeup or literally take my mirrors of the walls and would still end up picking, fiddling and making it worse. These patches are amazing!!! They actually bring the cystic acne to the surface and get rid of the boils, yes it may take quite a few patches, ive been wearing them religiously non stop for 4 days now and got through an entire pack but honestly my skin is actually clearing out for the first time in 18 months!! Nothing has helped with my acne I've tried everything, doctors prescription creams, light therapy, diet change etc but these patches have the best outcome! And also they hide the big red bulgy spots and stop you touching them and wanting to squeeze them (which we will know is the worst thing you can do with cystic acne!) and honestly they've helped me feel less like a troll covered in spots throughout the day 🙌❤️ LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I URGE PEOPLE TO BUY IT ❤️ I will upload before and after pics in a few days! #cysticacnesucks

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.

Sheer, thin but over priced. Purchased as thought they have soothing extracts embedded. The extracts made no difference to the spot. i do feel they are over priced as the extracts had not effect, but they did not irritate my skin or leave any circular marks the next day. The quality of the patches is good, much better than other ones I have purchased and the larger size was good.../ but I'm still in two minds as if I would buy these again because of the cost of them, they are over priced for what they achieve overall.

Holy %*#" I was really skeptical, read an article on a student website, really not expecting anything, tried them on, and in just a few hours, all the puss came out of a couple of new spots and the redness across my whole face had really calmed down. I'm impressed

Decided to try this after it kept being heralded as a miracle product by Buzzfeed. I absolutely adore this product. Matte enough to wear about without feeling self-conscious, and super effective to boot. I stuck these all over my nose one morning, since i usually get a build up of sebum and general grime in my pores there, and these sucked everything right out. Purchasing again along with the bigger patches to use for my nose and chin.
