Hydrocolloid Wound Dressing

The rise in popularity of pimple patches has enabled the beauty industry to charge staggering prices for these tiny dots of blemish relief magic. Most pimple patches are 100% hydrocolloid so when I realized that I could purchase these wound dressing patches and achieve the same effects for a fraction of the cost, I didn’t hesitate to add these to my cart. I received a single box of 15, 2x2 squares. I am prone to breakouts on my chin, so sometimes I apply the entire 2x2 square to treat my entire chin at once, and other times, I cut the 2x2 square into 6 sections to apply to random blemishes on my face. I leave the patches on for 6 to 8 hours overnight and remove in the morning. The adhesive is top tier, and will not budge while you sleep. If you have very thin or fragile skin, keep this in mind, because removing the product in the morning may feel too aggressive for your skin. If you have normal to average skin, this will be a non issue for you. Pros: I can treat large sections at once which is helpful if I have a cluster of breakouts. I can opt to cut the 2x2 squares into 6 sections, giving me a total of 90 pimple patches for a fraction of what the beauty brands charge. Effective at quickly clearing up and treating breakouts. If you get excited to wake up to reveal that moist and meaty residue ring that you see after an overnight treatment, these patches will not disappoint! Strong adhesive that won’t budge overnight Cons: If you cut your patches into smaller sections, they are a pain to peel off the protective backing. Be patient, grab tweezers, and put on your glasses. The large patches don’t lay as nicely on the nose or chin as the expensive contoured patches that the beauty industry sells to specifically target your entire chin or entire nose. Removing these patches in the morning may be too aggressive for weak or fragile skin due to the strong adhesive. Enjoy beauty queens!

Review: These dressings are easy to use and stay in place without peeling up. They’re gentle when removed and don’t cause irritation. We’ve been using them to cover and protect my brother’s sores, and they’ve helped the spots stay clean and heal while keeping the area comfortable. Great quality and value.

Helpful for healing, better than usual bandage, seals wound, stays on several days.

This maybe perfect for those looking for very thin.. It's working fine for out purpose..I can cut in 2...and get 2 uses of 1..but actually need a bit thicker..but they do protect the skin . That's the main thing

These bandages have great adhesive and are easy to apply. They stay put and do not roll up. Very pleased with this product. Did not hurt once time to remove. Also, I would say they are waterproof, or at least water resistant. Very good price for the number you receive. They aren't huge though, but the size worked for me.

UPDATE: cs was very friendly and offered a refund. Definitely recommend the seller! --------------- I will start this off to say its a hydrocolloid bandage that does it's job my most recent patch I've kept on for a full 24 hours (i usually swap hydrocolloid bandages after 8 hours) and it HURT! The bandage almost refused to leave my skin. it also would not come off in one piece. see all the white/yellow stuff that looks like my skin is peeling? THAT'S THE BANDAGE! It left sticky residue, irritated my wound to pull off, and it's made my most tender skin feel itchy. not using this brand for open wounds, but it would be good to cut up and use for acne patches or other not-irritatable injuries.

Bought 2 sizes of this item. Totally defective. The bandage is not occlusive and gaps and won’t seal. The main reason to use a bandage such as this is to seal over the wound. Won’t accept a return

I just had a large (2cm) skin cancer removed from my forehead. I ordered the 2"x2" hydrocolloid patches. It arrived without any clear instructions or illustrations as to how to apply the patch. There are arrows on the patch but no indication if the arrows are on the side that is to cover the wound. There should be a video showing the procedure of applying the patch. Am I dumb or what?
