These Avarelle acne patch review photos are even better than popping pimples.
"I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now). I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Everyone should have these on-hand for a stubborn zit when you really need them." —Caitlyn
"These patches are amazing. I recently had a bad breakout on my chin and was desperate to make it go away. Most were under the skin that I didn't want to force to pop. I used the patches for a few hours, which then brought my under-skin pimples to a whitehead. Then I replaced them and went to sleep, and when I woke up they were so much better. They didn't hurt anymore and they were pretty much flat. There was still some redness, but the blemishes were gone. I'm recommending these to everyone and I'll never be without a pack now!" —Stephanie T.
"I had heard SO many great things about these stickers that I figured I would give it a go! I have pretty sensitive skin and need to manage it properly, but when I get nasty pimple they can last two to three weeks when they are under the dermal layer. I put these stickers on right when I got home from work and took them off right before getting into the office (14 hours period). They removed a lot of the oil deposits and settled two pimples in a week that normally would have taken longer. " —Amazon Customer
"I LOVE these things. I’ve never used another brand, but I don’t see why I ever would now. My pimples seem to be flattened overnight, and I had a deep cyst that would usually take about two weeks to clear. Within four days of using these overnight, my cyst was completely gone. I don’t know how they work so well, but they do. They pull out all the gunk and with consistent use, clear your face so much, and even help heal scabs or popped pimples. Seriously, I love these sooo much and I’ll keep buying for as long as I have pesky acne!" —Clare
"This is an AWESOME product! Just see my before-and-after pictures (above). I’ve had acne sine I was in middle school and they always told me I’d grow out of it! Well, now I’m 30, and you guessed it! I still have acne. These pimple patches are a sigh of much anticipated relief. I’ve tried every product under the sun and nothing ever worked. These patches even work on big cystic pimples! I consistently used the pimple patches every day for four weeks and my skin has done a 180! I need a five-year supply of these patches. Seriously. I buy a pack a week! These are a MUST-try!!! Especially if you have tried and given up on almost every other acne medicine under the sun!" —Denise Scharadin
"These even work on big, cystic pimples! My skin has done a 180!"
"I never, NEVER, take the time to review products. I've been ordering these for a few months now. These patches work wonders for me. I don't suffer from a large number of acne cysts but when I do get them, I really get them :(. Before using these patches, my cysts would sometimes take weeks to stop growing and oozing. Now, I can use these for a few days and my cysts are not 100% gone, but so much better than before. Not to mention, the dots provide a little bit of camouflage to the red and angry cysts so you don't have to try to cover them with makeup that ends up making them worse. Definitely a great product and company!" —Amazon Customer
"What a great product. I have had acne for the better part of 10 years. It has been a painful process to try to find products that will clear my skin. I finally gave up and just tried to find products that would help with the pain and maintain the broken-out skin that I had. I recently stumbled across this product while looking for makeup. To say that I am surprised would be an understatement. I have posted pictures (above) of a cyst breakout and how these patches cleared it up in just a few days. Now I'm not going to lie. I did wear the patches every day for five days straight. But anyone who has acne would realize how great that is for a cyst pimple. The patch did not over-dry the skin. Nor was there any irritation to my acne-prone skin. I can't believe that this worked!" —Angelique
"I love these! I had previously bought the small patches for individual pimples, but wanted bigger ones for the larger pores on my nose. I sleep in them and wore them for 10-12 hours, and find then whenever I remove it I am able to extract my pores sooooo easily. Plus, seeing all that gunk on the patch is sooooo satisfying. They definitely have my nose looking cleaner than ever....I use it about once a week!" —Kaiti
They're sold separately — you can a pack of eight from Amazon for $8.49.
"My skin has not been this soft since I was a kid...once a week I use the whole pack of XL patches and essentially cover my entire face. My skin is extremely oily and I have teeny tiny blackheads and clogged pores all over my face. In the morning they are all practically poking out...then the rest of the day my skin is unbelievably soft. I do that routine once a week and it keeps the blackheads from getting bigger or turning into breakouts. It’s a temporary solution, but makes a huge difference each week!" —Kyla
