These patches are amazing for healing and protecting pimples that have popped or have come to a head. They work so much better than the Nexcare ones. The Cosrx adhesive is stronger yet doesn't irritate my skin like the Nexcare patches did. They are thinner and more flexible than the Nexcare patches, too. These really suck everything out. It's amazing. The patches help keep me from picking at my face and doing more damage. While they are thin, I still think they are too visible to wear out during the day unless you want people asking you what you have on your face. You can put makeup over them, but they are still thick enough to notice. Overall, these are a must-have for anyone who gets pimples.
