Care Science Fast Healing All-Purpose Hydrocolloid Gel Bandages, 20 ct | 100% Waterproof Seal, Reduces Scarring, for Wound Care or Blisters

These are the only bandaids I've tried that are *actually* waterproof. Most other bandaids last maybe 2 handwashes. These will last a full 24 hours--and I wash my hands a lot. And after a day, it's usually a good idea to replace bandaids anyway. They adhere super well to the skin and stay stuck even on weird surfaces like hands and fingers, as they are thin and stretchy.It's hard to tell for sure without doing a side-by-side trial whether these actually heal wounds faster than normal. But they certainly feel nice on open wounds and keep them protected from the outside while they are healing. If I had cuts on my hands, these are the only bandaids I would trust enough to juice limes or cut habaneros or wash dishes with!They're also very discreet and you can barely even tell that you're wearing one (at least with white skin; on darker skin, the gel pad will stick out slightly, but the rest is clear).Note that you can also see the wound through the bandaid, which is pretty neat! Lets you keep an eye on it.My only complaint is that the stickiness actually leaves a residue which is a little annoying to get off. But it's worth it imo. I've found that it's easier to get off if you use a little vegetable oil on it, then use dish soap to get the oil off (this trick works for stuff like tree sap as well!).

Love these !! I keep ordering them! They stick very well just make sure you clean the area well prior to using! I leave them on till they come off or sometime I have to force them off because they work so well ! When I take the bandage off the skin looks brand new !! Works fantastically!!

Best thing ever

First, please know that All Health and Care Science are the same company (distributed by ASO) so they are basically the same product in different shapes. This means that in my opinion that perform the same, and any differences between them are on based on the shape.These bandages performed very similarly to the Band Aid brand hydrocolloidal bandages as well. So for the money ($8 for 20), these are a good deal. I can’t seem to find the Band Aid brand bandages in the store anymore and buying these online is a better price than buying the Band Aid brand online.Now to review performance: I have been using these bandages on my fingers and hands because of cracking due to dry skin. The bandages work well but I find that they do not stay on for a long time at all. When I put them on overnight, the corners of the bandages stick to so much lint (from blankets) and hair (from my cats). By morning, the edges of the bandages are not sealed anymore. There are probably ways around this if I wrote gloves all night but I personally haven’t tried that. When I put these on during the day, hand washing means these stay on for about an hour until the seal is just gone. So in my current use, these don’t stay on for more than a few hours due to actually using my hands. If used on a place on the body covered by clothing, I’m sure these would last longer (I can’t confirm the “up to 7 days” claim).Two quick notes:-For fingers, I think that the shaped/contoured design is better at staying on than the oval.-I have cut these bandages to use smaller pieces as appropriate - thus using one bandage for two places on my hand. It is just tricky to get the wrapper backing off of the second piece. But since the entire bandage is hydrocolloidal, this is an option.All said, this brand performs like the other brands of hydrocolloidal bandages that I’ve tried. I find the technology very effective for healing, I just use a lot of them because of the above mentioned issues which all of these bandages have.

originally bought this product to try instead of the thicker hydrocolloid bandages for acne. i would not recommend it for that as the adhesive for the Bandage is irritating. but i went to nyc for a weekend wearing doc martens (chelseas so for some reason I thought I was safe) and got a raw spot that was probably a popped blister on the back of my ankle. i put the Bandage on it Monday morning.i had forgotten i had put it there and was amazed that my spot felt great. Friday night during a situation where someone else is uh looking at my entire body iykyk they askrd about the bandage. i was embarrassed and did NOT tell them it had been on there since MONDAY MORNING, struggled to get the bandage off even after FIVE DAYS and pretended like it never happened like the baddie i am.i shower at least once every day, and I'd say thoroughly. like between my toes, belly button thoroughly (im not a cis straight man after all). i walk to work every day, there and back and i walk home for my lunch break. i even went on two bike rides that week.when i took the bandage off the adhesive sides still had lots of life in them. like i said, it was a little bit of a struggle. the actual hydrocolloid patch was beginning to crumble a bit but considering the circumstances I'll let it slide. great product.

You just pick the sticky adhesion cover from the middle & then I use my thumb & pointer finger to grip the other covers remaining on the sides. This ends up securing the bandage perfectly & w/o coming into contact w/ my fingers! They last all day/night and the stickiness is secure, love these for dermatillomania/skin excoriation symptoms…
