These little dots have been a life saver!! Especially since I’m back at work with many many pimples on display. They stay on for hours (days too…when I forget to take it off…) plus they’re not noticeable either, so highly recommend! 🙂
I suffer with acne pretty bad but these remove all the bad stuff from any spots. Theres still the red mark where it used to be but just wash your face with soapy water or with acne treatment and they’ll heal up super fast. I slept with these on and they didnt budge an inch! Would recommend 100%. Works like magic!
I suffer from monthly outbreaks of acne, I have a bad habit of spot squeezing which let’s be honest, just makes it worse. I decided to try these to see if it could get rid of my spots and stop me squeezing them, they honestly work so well, takes 2-3 days using the spot dots at night, but definitely pulls out the spot and they clear up pretty fast.

These work amazingly! Not just on whiteheads either, but also on those annoying painful bumps that haven’t even turned red yet. Although I must add a disclaimer, they do not work as well for my sister so it depends a bit on your skin type etc.
I got a 24 pack of these before, but I must be a very spotty person as I got through them in no time!! I ordered this one and I’m now getting fewer spots than before I started using these which is a good sign!
We started off with these but between myself and four daughters go through quite a few of them. I ordered a cheaper brand to try which had much more for the money but was really a mistake. The cheaper ones caused breakouts so we’ve swapped back to these. These ones are really with the bit extra as they not only clear out the gunk but also heal the spot at the same time. They really work and you just forget you have them on as they disguise the spot and stick really well to the skin.
I use these almost every night and am on my third box already. I love these, they work better than any other spot sticker I’ve used. they can be worn under makeup and alone and i find it really helps to heal my spots as well as draw all that disgusting gunk out of them in a clean, hygienic manner. i have cystic acne and find these work on cysts too. worth the money!
Our teen primarily uses these for hormonal breakouts and such. Easy to apply and not to harsh for her sensitive skin. She loves them and swears they work well.
I genuinely thought this was a load of rubbish. Another brand who claimed they could do something I considered impossible.. yeah I was wrong. I was expecting them to fail.. but they’ve surpassed my expectations! I leave them on overnight, and those big painful spots are gone in hours. Also, these little legends stop you from picking and squeezing. AND it’s so nasty and satisfying when you take them off and there’s gunk.
If you are unsure whether to invest in these.. do it. I’m about to place my third order.
I liked these a lot and were definitely better than other brands I’ve tried. I used them last minute when a spot would appear and for the most part it would end up helping. I’d wear them out in public because they weren’t that visible but i wouldnt recommend under heavy makeup. They’re expensive but i would say they do work
This is one of my favourite products for my pimples. I highly recommend this if you have a few pimples a month. If you have severe acn, I’m not sure this is the product for you.
If you are like me and has the tendency to pick and pop your spots this is really good too prevent further damage and redness aswell as ensuring your spots heal faster , also helps over night on most occasions.
I love these tiny magic dots. If I get a pimple it starts life as an underground bump and these are amazing at drawing it out and healing it super quickly. What normally would take weeks to resolve takes a matter of days. Works better than any topical treatment I’ve ever used (and I’ve tried it all, been on roaccutane etc). I even wear them during the day out and about as they are very discreet. I make sure to put them on clean skin (before moisturiser etc) and they stay on very well. Haven’t tried any other brands but given these work so well for me probably won’t bother!
If you’re a ‘picker’ like me, then this is the solution. Really clever little things, that apply transparent. I must have these at all times for that time in the month where my skin misbehaves.
These spot patches work miracles for me. They calm my spot down significantly just by wearing it overnight. They lie flush on the skin. When placed correctly they blend in so well that several times i have forgotten i have them on and have gone out with them on and no one has noticed. Will always use these until they fail me. I have tried a few other brands but these really are the best for me in every way. Good value for the jib they do. Would highly recommend
I never thought something like this would work. When using them I find that putting them over white heads does not work so I have to pop them a little then put these patches on. They sook out all of the rubbish and help dry it out and heal. Great product as I have terrible issues with spots and pimples taking long to heal and scar terribly. They heal very fast and leave little to no scarring with these little patches!
These work so well, I was sceptical at first but they really do a great job and I make sure I always have some now! They don’t work on cystic acne, only on pimples that have come to a head, or on those that have popped but for that purpose they are amazing!
They are quite adhesive so long as you apply them to clean and dry skin, they won’t stick if your skin is even a little oily so be mindful of that! They’re also surprisingly invisible. I’ve worn them to work and pointed them out to my colleagues who said they didn’t even see them until I told them!
I think they’re not too badly priced but I don’t want to waste them either so I sometimes leave mine on longer than the package says.
I love these so much, just wish they were cheaper! Paying almost 20 (postage inc) for pimple patches that you can get for 2 on other websites is kinda ridiculous to me lol, but i always buy when I’m in need (from a breakout) so I want them to arrive ASAP. Amazon offers next day delivery unlike other places, so it’s my only option. They literally go so fast too if you have quite a lot of pimples. The product itself tho works really well and my pimples always heal and become non visible quickly after!
These are just WONDERFUL!!!!! We’re not saying they will miraculously make your skin look perfect but they are an absolute saviour for when your face is suffering and you feel like you can’t be seen in public! Pop them on overnight and by the morning everything is way less angry and much easier to cover with a little make up. I love these…..
These are great, my daughter uses them and said they work really well on any spots she has. I have also tried them and have to agree. They stick on really well and you can’t see them plus they work.
I always listen to Amazon reviews so was worried when I saw some negative ones. These patches are truly magical. They’ve changed my skin massively. I had a spot outbreak that was really getting me down but since using these it’s cleared up a lot. The spot scarring is still slightly visible but the spot itself has cleared totally. I use them every night and sleep with them on then just peel off every morning. These really are fantastic and I’ve been using them for a few weeks now. I just wish they were cheaper!
I’ve tried other products but nothing draws out the gunk like these!
My pre teen son already uses these on his spots and they clear with in two days with no red marks.
Regular purchase due to a teenager in the house with spots and a hormonal mum who gets spots.
Helps to bring spots down but are expensive.
Comfortable to wear at night.
I have hormonal/cystic acne due to medical conditions, and these dots are the only things that work on them! They just suck all the gunk right out! I can’t speak for everyone, but it does work on my painful under the skin spots, as well as spots that present with a whitehead.
A regular purchase of mine, it’s a staple of my skincare routine
When first put on they can really hide a spot. After a while they start to show up as white and almost looks like a massive pussy spot! However I would recommend these as something to get rid of spots. By covering it stops any dirt/bacteria from entering and also draws out any moisture meaning if left on for a day it can kick start the healing process.
I absolutely love these. I throw them on any time I get a spot and I wear them over night and if it’s a super angry spot that won’t be covered by concealer (you know the ones I mean) I just stick one of these on and wear it all day as they also act as a cover up. I will continue to re purchase.
They’re invisible and allow the spot to heal without picking it and no one really notices the patch. Skin not damaged by squeezing either so heals quicker.
I really love these patches. They do a great job of hiding spots initially, and they also stop you from feeling the need to pick at them. They seem to heal a lot quicker with these too.
Love this product! I always have a supply ready for a break out. It works really well. The only thing I’d say is that the sheerness changes over the hours and so it isn’t clear the whole time you’re wearing it- i.e. meaning you can’t really wear it out and about. It works best overnight.
So I usually only come on here to review things I’ve hated or feel like I’ve been ripped off on but honestly like these enough that I thought I should write a review.
I get horrible cystic acne, like those deep painful things that sit like a mountain under your skin for weeks just causing pain. I also get whiteheads etc. These patches do not help at all with the cystic things, unless I’ve managed to encourage it to a head in which case they’re so good at sucking the gunk out. It’s pretty grim but basically you just stick a patch on your spot until it looks white and filled with gunk and you swap it for another one. I do go through a few one the larger ones (gross I know) but I do genuinely think it helps and reduces the number of times I’d have to squeeze a spot (I know it’s bad I shouldn’t blah blah but the spots are so deep they’re already scarred and it’s the only way to alleviate the pressure). Once it’s been popped I can use these and it just. heals. There’s no repeat poppings needed no new heads no new pressure build up, these little patches just suck it all up and help my skin to heal and do its job. Honestly they’re so bloody great. I do sometimes wish they did larger ones because these can err on the small size for me. Some other brands do do larger ones but I’ve found they don’t have half as much sticking power.
These ones are the best by far. I’ve tried a LOT of these now and these are my faves!
I have been pleasantly surprised at how effective these little dots are. I even wear them to work sometimes and 99% of people don’t notice, however makeup does highlight then slightly. I usually use peroxide products from a dermatologist on my spots but I have really been able to cut back on the amount used significantly. I find that when using a dot, the spot will be less severe and heal quicker.
These are amazing! If i ever have tough spots, these get rid of them overnight, i forget that ive got them on, im always surprised at how much they extract from my face!
I don’t get spots too bad but I do suffer with pimples on my chin on the occasion, and these patches are awesome! I just pop one on before bed, peel it off in the morning and 8 times out of 10 there’s a lot of gunk on the patch! Recommend to anyone
They don’t always get rid of the spot first time but they definitely have an impact on it and reduce it somewhat. I either wear these over night or I wear them if I’m working as I wear a face mask however, I wouldn’t personally wear them under makeup as they are noticeable but worth it if your blemishes are in need of something to discourage them asap 🙂
Does what it says – extracts impurities from your spots – it even got rid of some really old ones I didn’t know about. TDLR; would buy it again regardless of cons. Squashed an annoying spot within 3 treatments.
Pros:
Hard to spot (pardon the pun) and blended nicely withh my skin colour
Extracts impurities from spots without any hassle – keep it for 6 hours or more as the pack says
Clears spots you didn’t even know you had which may be around the main spot you wanted to cleanse
At least for my skin there were no adverse reactions
After 3 dots and just over 24h my spot had totally reduced in size.
Cons:
Hard to peel off the pack, even harder not to accidentally fold it in at which point good luck unsticking it
As these are not like a plaster (individually packed) you can’t peel off the backing without also leaving some finger prints
Comes in two sealed packs so you basically expose half of the box to air to just be able to use one making it rather inconvenient for storage before next use. Too soon to tell but will update this if they are completely unusable the next time I need them.
Not really a pro or a con just funny:
When removing it will look like an octopus suction cup has just been removed from your face and left a perfect circle – takes a few minutes before it disappears but if you placed many of these on your face just be ready to look like you have been part of some octopus fight club

I am not your normal user of spot removal products because I’m in my sixties. But after many (many !) years of a stubborn spot or tiny cyst or millia on my chin, that NEVER went away, but never came to a head either i decided to do something about it. I went to a skin clinic to burn the top layer of skin away, a bit uncomfortable for a few seconds and a horrible smell of burning flesh. They said to let it settle and rebook another appointment. But, when i got home and looked in a magnifying mirror, i couod see 5 tiny little deep set whiteheads, they must have been there for many years and the skin had grown over them. For the first time ever, i actually saw what the problem was and was keen to fix it myself. I googled it and found it was called a “blind” spot, that would never go away on its own. One treatment suggested was these stickers, i wanted them quickly as i didnt want them to heal over again. Well, i put one sticker on overnight, and in the morning it had all the contents drawn out and nothing left in my skin. All these years of wishing this spot would go away, and it was fixed in one night. I was so pleased, and no one even noticed i had it on, 99% invisible.. Fabulous product, but i would suggest that the problem area is revealed as much as possible for the sticker to do its work.

I absolutely swear by these these are great for the spots that just wont come up these will bring up very stubborn spots within 2 days this brings them to a head. My spots have a habbit of staying completely under the skin and hurting loads, this is the only thing that stops me picking at them i have been using these for months and they are the only thing that works. I have extremely sensitive skin and i struggle using even plasters but these do not react with my skin whatsoever. They are a must buy if you get big angry spots
These are great for those really stubborn zits that need an extra push. Sadly I get those big painful hormonal spots on my jawline which are AWFUL to deal with. You can either leave them to come to a head, which is painful and can take weeks. Or go straight in try to burst them, but risking making it worse. That’s where these patches are a godsend. Once I’ve put it on, for starters it stops me picking at the spot, which is a miracle in itself. Then usually 1 of 3 things will happen. Either the nasty spot puss will get absorbed by the patch, or the patch will help bring it to a head so you can rid of it easier. Either that, or the spot just gradually shrinks away. I only use these patches for the big dire spots. For me the only downside is that you can kind of see the outline of the patch on your face, and it’s hard to cover up with make up. However personally, I don’t really care. I’ve happily gone to my local store with a couple of these over my zits, and nobody noticed. Definitely helpful for anyone with stubborn spots.
Despite them not having any actual active ingredients in them (or as far as i’m aware anyway) I was skeptical, but they are so discreet I wear them all day on zoom and they do work. Sore spots loose their pain, redness and lumps are reduced and they prevent scabbing/scarring… plus protect from my hands touching my face or dirt from pollution.. definitely seen a difference and would recommend.
Been using these for ages and they’re amazing, best on acne that has come to head otherwise it’s pretty useless. I have a habit of picking at my skin but if I do, I rub my skin with rubbing alcohol to help the dots stick and apply one. This allows to bacteria to go into the sticker instead of building up on your skin again.
It really does work only thing for me is the price why does it have to be sooo expensive. When I get the 30 I go through it so quickly. It’s a great product but is it worth the money nah I’m not that rich
I tried these first on a really big, shallow pimple I had, which was looking like it would burst. That’s the exact type it should it be best at dealing with! After keeping it for the entire night, I removed the patch to see it hadn’t done anything.
So I just squeezed the pimple like the inpatient animal I am, got all possible stuff out. And since I had these stickers, I just stamped another one over it.
And surprise surprise! This second patch became really full and it stopped the pimple from getting inflamated more!
So I know I’m not supposed to squeeze, but I can’t help myself. But now, after I squeeze, I put the patch on and it easily absorbs all build-up just as it appears. In this way I can get rid of pimples for 2-3 days, when it would have normally taken more than a week. I also notice that since I started doing this, it’s a lot less common to get a new pimple after messing with an old one.
I’m definitely going to keep bying this. But I feel it’s important to note, it absolutely doesn’t get the hard chunks out of the pimple. So I’m not sure if it can resolve anything by itself unless the pimple’s been squeezed already.

I buy these like once every few weeks or so. So helpful, so discrete and they really do help me not pick at my face as much. They also make me feel more confident. They honestly suck out all the gunk too it’s crazy haha
My daughter loves these. They really help her spots. She cleans her face and puts them on before bed and spots are less angry and less noticeable in the morning. Little expensive but I think worth it.
Absolutely incredible. I tend to break out a lot on my neck and bust area. This thing is absolutely unbelievable!!! I’m in love. I just put them overnight and the next day it’s gone. If it’s a deep stop I’d recommend you to do it twice. It protects the inflamed area and I don’t need to pick them anymore because it leaves a scar most of the time.

These are the best spot plasters I’ve tried hands down but I’m always so gutted by how expensive they are. They help draw out any nastiest and heal your spot overnight so well, they have pretty good sticking power (as long as you apply before moisturiser/oils/anything that doesn’t dry in) and they’re quite transparent so good for day as well as night use. Have helped me stop picking. I’ve tried cheaper and they don’t match up to these ones. Also I like the packaging and the fact that you rip the sheet to help release them without accidentally folding them up. I recommend but before cost per unit is quite high.
Really work!!! Hormonal spots are now a monthly occurrence for me….. I’ve come off the pill in past six month and recently onto a non hormonal coil. I always had spots throughout my teens and twenties. But these recent hormonal spots put all others to shame! Huge bumps on my chin, jaw and neck and so painful. I bought these dots to see if they would help – they really have been so helpful. I’m working from home so don’t mind that they’re not very invisible. I bought 60 and think they’re completely worth the money. Cheaper than buying hundreds of products like I’ve been doing post 6 months haha.
These are great for helping heal spots and draw out whiteheads. You need to be careful how you remove the dots from the plastic sheet, beCause if you dig the edge of the dot it won’t lay flat on your skin making them more noticeable. They are a very good product, but could be cheape
These are brilliant. Work really well overnight to encourage a spot to come out. Reduces inflammation and redness. Very hard to see when on your face so you might get away with wearing daytime too.
This is the third different brand of these I’ve purchased. The pros of this one is the dots stay firmly in place on the packaging until you choose to use one, they are slightly more sheer than others, and they seem to do something to the skin (based on remnants) overnight.
However, these are all one size, which wasn’t ideal sometimes. Also compared to other brands 20-30% of the time had to have on a couple nights in a row rather than just one. (Not scientific I know, but just my experience.) They still ended up working, which is the ultimate goal, so would still generally recommend.
Dots for spot did help clear up my spots and is very transparent that it not easily noticeable. Helps keep the area clean to aid healing. Is worth the purchase
Okay, so this is TMI so be warned.
I bought the patches in order to tackle the random pimples and spots I get on my face. I have fairly smooth skin and only get pimples on occasions but when they come, there either huge or small with the white puss in there. And they almost ALWAYS are between my eyebrows so essentially a third eye.
The other leading pimple patches were a little expensive and I wasn’t too sure of the reviews so when I saw Dots for Spots’ reviews, I thought I should give it ago.
They worked exactly as instructed and detailed on their packaging and within like 6 hours or so, the patch went white, the pus was gone and the pimple had reduced.
Out of the 24 patches I’ve used about 14 or so and each time, the results have been quick and effective.
So I decided to try it on my ….. TMI….. pubic boils I get ever so often. My boils(cysts??) can be quite painful and they always come to a head so I thought I should try it on one that was causing quite a lot of discomfort and was super unsightly.
I didn’t expect anything because they said it really only works on pimples that have come to a head but I did it anyways and WHEN I TELL YOU THE WHOLE PATCH WENT WHITE IN 8 HOURS, IT WENT WHIIITE!!! So i peeled it off and YOOOOOO oh my goodness, that white pus started gushing out. It shocked the hell out of me that this tiny patch did this but guys, my boils have been causing me issues for years and it’s always a struggle to get rid of them quickly so the patches results gave me a beacon of hope.
I put another patch straight after as the boil was still a little raised and I wanted to reduce this. Left the patch overnight, and whoooo results again – the boil was pretty much non-existent.
I know this was TMI, I know it was guys but these patches will be forever purchased by me unless they stop working. Lifesaver!
Pro:
– Super sticky and stays on the skin
– Didn’t irritate my skin in any way
Con:
– The patches aren’t as invisible as you might think, they reflect the light a lot more than I expected but I didn’t mind wearing them outside because they worked magic man!
– not really a con just something to be mindful of ….Patch is not as adhesive to pubic skin so at times it wouldn’t stay in place but wearing knickers helped
These are an absolute life saver. As someone who’s had acne for over 5 years and has tried every product under the sun, I’m so impressed with how well these work. Great for removing whiteheads and stopping the dreadful habit of picking and squeezing. They are hardly noticeable, even though they’re covered by a mask most of the time!
I will rebuying these over and over. They are perfect for pimples overnight or I even wear them sometimes during the day to avoid picking. They are really thin, I even have problems to locate them in the morning.
If you have large areas to cover I wouldn’t recommend these though as you will use them all up. I buy the hydrocolloid dressings from Savers and I cut the “glue” around and use them on large areas, they work the same but cheaper!
I’m obsessed! Like a lot of you I questioned the value for money as they can seem quite pricey but they are SO worth it one you’ve tried them. Before these I’d tried pimple patches from Peter Thomas Roth and Nip and Fab and they are not even 10% as good as these.
Besides using them on ready to pop pimples, I like to apply them on any new or developing pimples when I know I have to wear a protective mask all day. Keeps them clean and the swelling at bay!
I had no faith in these, but bought them because I have to wear a mask for long periods of time in the hospital I work and so I am struggling with mask acne.
They work really well, they definitely reduce the spot, I would say in 1-2 days its gone.
They stop me from picking at them too!
I love these stickers – I suffer from hormonal chin acne and with mask wearing, I started to break out around my cheeks too. These dots are great. They can last for days if you apply them correctly and they are hygienic.
They have stopped me from further post hyper pigmentation as I don’t need to overly add pressure to squeeze my spots now.
Note: They work best for spots that have come to a head . They don’t work for nodules deep under the skin.
How to Use
1- Apply after washing face, and moisturizing. Your skin needs to be dry to apply…
– (If you apply the sticker too soon after moisturizing the stickers won’t hold or last).
2 – There is a fold on each sticker, fold it slightly and grab a clean pair of tweezers to gently lift the sticker and apply it to the spot, then press it down for a few seconds to make sure it’s held down nicely.
~~~Using tweezers prevents the dot from wrinkling
~~~Your moisturizer with the sticker is enough to draw the head of the spot out quicker – Don’t apply anything drying over the sticker as the whole point is to bring the head to a surface.
~~~Optional – The next day or when the spot has formed you can apply BHA or Tea tree oil over the sticker to prevent bacteria spreading.
Normally within a few days I see the sticker has turned white (drawing out the moisture/gunk).
Leave the sticker on as long as possible to prevent squeezing your spot.
~~~Also, when the spot is small with a tiny head, I cut the sticker in half, which means I can use 1 sticker for 2 spots…
Pros: Everything
Cons: You have to use tweezers to lift the sticker dots so it won’t crease/crinkle.
Okay. I was a little sceptical when I first bought these. I suffer from horrific cystic acne when it’s the time of the month or I’m run down, it’s so sore and painful, and I can’t help but pick!
I had some huge beasts on my chin and jawline so I thought I’d give these a try. They had come to a head and I’d picked them so they had scabbed over. Popped a patch on them after I cleaned my face before bed, waited until morning and they had totally shrunk, like they were flat dots….
So many plus sides to these little beauties. You can barely tell when you have one on, they cover well with make up, and they WORK!
Brings all the yucky part of the spot out and into the patch and helps clear quickly
Great little patch does the job
A bit expensive for what it is
The patches are not as “invisible” as other brands I have tried and not as adhesive. If you where them while sleeping, they are ok.
Great price and easy to apply and happy with the results
These little dots have been a life saver!! Especially since I’m back at work with many many pimples on display. They stay on for hours (days too…when I forget to take it off…) plus they’re not noticeable either, so highly recommend! 🙂
I suffer with acne pretty bad but these remove all the bad stuff from any spots. Theres still the red mark where it used to be but just wash your face with soapy water or with acne treatment and they’ll heal up super fast. I slept with these on and they didnt budge an inch! Would recommend 100%. Works like magic!
Works so well bought dots for spots like so many times.
I suffer from monthly outbreaks of acne, I have a bad habit of spot squeezing which let’s be honest, just makes it worse. I decided to try these to see if it could get rid of my spots and stop me squeezing them, they honestly work so well, takes 2-3 days using the spot dots at night, but definitely pulls out the spot and they clear up pretty fast.
These work amazingly! Not just on whiteheads either, but also on those annoying painful bumps that haven’t even turned red yet. Although I must add a disclaimer, they do not work as well for my sister so it depends a bit on your skin type etc.
Iv tried so many pimple patches and I love these! They stick well and get the job done but are slightly overpriced
I got a 24 pack of these before, but I must be a very spotty person as I got through them in no time!! I ordered this one and I’m now getting fewer spots than before I started using these which is a good sign!
We started off with these but between myself and four daughters go through quite a few of them. I ordered a cheaper brand to try which had much more for the money but was really a mistake. The cheaper ones caused breakouts so we’ve swapped back to these. These ones are really with the bit extra as they not only clear out the gunk but also heal the spot at the same time. They really work and you just forget you have them on as they disguise the spot and stick really well to the skin.
The best dots for spits that I’ve found so far. Yes they are pricey but they do the job.
Bought for my two daughters. They use them regularly and are Impressed with the results. Have bought more since.
I use these almost every night and am on my third box already. I love these, they work better than any other spot sticker I’ve used. they can be worn under makeup and alone and i find it really helps to heal my spots as well as draw all that disgusting gunk out of them in a clean, hygienic manner. i have cystic acne and find these work on cysts too. worth the money!
my daughter has had these twice now. said they work grea
Our teen primarily uses these for hormonal breakouts and such. Easy to apply and not to harsh for her sensitive skin. She loves them and swears they work well.
I genuinely thought this was a load of rubbish. Another brand who claimed they could do something I considered impossible.. yeah I was wrong. I was expecting them to fail.. but they’ve surpassed my expectations! I leave them on overnight, and those big painful spots are gone in hours. Also, these little legends stop you from picking and squeezing. AND it’s so nasty and satisfying when you take them off and there’s gunk.
If you are unsure whether to invest in these.. do it. I’m about to place my third order.
I liked these a lot and were definitely better than other brands I’ve tried. I used them last minute when a spot would appear and for the most part it would end up helping. I’d wear them out in public because they weren’t that visible but i wouldnt recommend under heavy makeup. They’re expensive but i would say they do work
This is one of my favourite products for my pimples. I highly recommend this if you have a few pimples a month. If you have severe acn, I’m not sure this is the product for you.
If you are like me and has the tendency to pick and pop your spots this is really good too prevent further damage and redness aswell as ensuring your spots heal faster , also helps over night on most occasions.
i live using these they do the job amazingly i live how you cant even see them as well love them
They are great for clearing spots and you can see when they need replacing. One of the patches I would use during the day.
I love these tiny magic dots. If I get a pimple it starts life as an underground bump and these are amazing at drawing it out and healing it super quickly. What normally would take weeks to resolve takes a matter of days. Works better than any topical treatment I’ve ever used (and I’ve tried it all, been on roaccutane etc). I even wear them during the day out and about as they are very discreet. I make sure to put them on clean skin (before moisturiser etc) and they stay on very well. Haven’t tried any other brands but given these work so well for me probably won’t bother!
If you’re a ‘picker’ like me, then this is the solution. Really clever little things, that apply transparent. I must have these at all times for that time in the month where my skin misbehaves.
These spot patches work miracles for me. They calm my spot down significantly just by wearing it overnight. They lie flush on the skin. When placed correctly they blend in so well that several times i have forgotten i have them on and have gone out with them on and no one has noticed. Will always use these until they fail me. I have tried a few other brands but these really are the best for me in every way. Good value for the jib they do. Would highly recommend
I never thought something like this would work. When using them I find that putting them over white heads does not work so I have to pop them a little then put these patches on. They sook out all of the rubbish and help dry it out and heal. Great product as I have terrible issues with spots and pimples taking long to heal and scar terribly. They heal very fast and leave little to no scarring with these little patches!
These work so well, I was sceptical at first but they really do a great job and I make sure I always have some now! They don’t work on cystic acne, only on pimples that have come to a head, or on those that have popped but for that purpose they are amazing!
They are quite adhesive so long as you apply them to clean and dry skin, they won’t stick if your skin is even a little oily so be mindful of that! They’re also surprisingly invisible. I’ve worn them to work and pointed them out to my colleagues who said they didn’t even see them until I told them!
I think they’re not too badly priced but I don’t want to waste them either so I sometimes leave mine on longer than the package says.
I love these so much, just wish they were cheaper! Paying almost 20 (postage inc) for pimple patches that you can get for 2 on other websites is kinda ridiculous to me lol, but i always buy when I’m in need (from a breakout) so I want them to arrive ASAP. Amazon offers next day delivery unlike other places, so it’s my only option. They literally go so fast too if you have quite a lot of pimples. The product itself tho works really well and my pimples always heal and become non visible quickly after!
Definitely brings out all the gunk in my spots, sometimes spots do need a gentle squeeze to fully get all gunk out. Overall worth a buy
These are just WONDERFUL!!!!! We’re not saying they will miraculously make your skin look perfect but they are an absolute saviour for when your face is suffering and you feel like you can’t be seen in public! Pop them on overnight and by the morning everything is way less angry and much easier to cover with a little make up. I love these…..
These are great, my daughter uses them and said they work really well on any spots she has. I have also tried them and have to agree. They stick on really well and you can’t see them plus they work.
I always listen to Amazon reviews so was worried when I saw some negative ones. These patches are truly magical. They’ve changed my skin massively. I had a spot outbreak that was really getting me down but since using these it’s cleared up a lot. The spot scarring is still slightly visible but the spot itself has cleared totally. I use them every night and sleep with them on then just peel off every morning. These really are fantastic and I’ve been using them for a few weeks now. I just wish they were cheaper!
I’ve tried other products but nothing draws out the gunk like these!
My pre teen son already uses these on his spots and they clear with in two days with no red marks.
Regular purchase due to a teenager in the house with spots and a hormonal mum who gets spots.
Helps to bring spots down but are expensive.
Comfortable to wear at night.
Nothing competes with these x ready to apply and value for money
I have hormonal/cystic acne due to medical conditions, and these dots are the only things that work on them! They just suck all the gunk right out! I can’t speak for everyone, but it does work on my painful under the skin spots, as well as spots that present with a whitehead.
A regular purchase of mine, it’s a staple of my skincare routine
Found after only using these twice after 6 hours you can see a massive difference in the redness and size of shots, must have!
When first put on they can really hide a spot. After a while they start to show up as white and almost looks like a massive pussy spot! However I would recommend these as something to get rid of spots. By covering it stops any dirt/bacteria from entering and also draws out any moisture meaning if left on for a day it can kick start the healing process.
Bought for 13 yo daughter. She loves them and they seems to work! Thx.
These dots really help clear up your spots. Wouldn’t be without them now.
I absolutely love these. I throw them on any time I get a spot and I wear them over night and if it’s a super angry spot that won’t be covered by concealer (you know the ones I mean) I just stick one of these on and wear it all day as they also act as a cover up. I will continue to re purchase.
They’re invisible and allow the spot to heal without picking it and no one really notices the patch. Skin not damaged by squeezing either so heals quicker.
I really love these patches. They do a great job of hiding spots initially, and they also stop you from feeling the need to pick at them. They seem to heal a lot quicker with these too.
Love this product! I always have a supply ready for a break out. It works really well. The only thing I’d say is that the sheerness changes over the hours and so it isn’t clear the whole time you’re wearing it- i.e. meaning you can’t really wear it out and about. It works best overnight.
I get horrible cystic acne, like those deep painful things that sit like a mountain under your skin for weeks just causing pain. I also get whiteheads etc. These patches do not help at all with the cystic things, unless I’ve managed to encourage it to a head in which case they’re so good at sucking the gunk out. It’s pretty grim but basically you just stick a patch on your spot until it looks white and filled with gunk and you swap it for another one. I do go through a few one the larger ones (gross I know) but I do genuinely think it helps and reduces the number of times I’d have to squeeze a spot (I know it’s bad I shouldn’t blah blah but the spots are so deep they’re already scarred and it’s the only way to alleviate the pressure). Once it’s been popped I can use these and it just. heals. There’s no repeat poppings needed no new heads no new pressure build up, these little patches just suck it all up and help my skin to heal and do its job. Honestly they’re so bloody great. I do sometimes wish they did larger ones because these can err on the small size for me. Some other brands do do larger ones but I’ve found they don’t have half as much sticking power.
These ones are the best by far. I’ve tried a LOT of these now and these are my faves!
These are the best acne patches I’ve tried so far! They fit very comfortably and have done an amazing job reducing inflammation so far!
I have been pleasantly surprised at how effective these little dots are. I even wear them to work sometimes and 99% of people don’t notice, however makeup does highlight then slightly. I usually use peroxide products from a dermatologist on my spots but I have really been able to cut back on the amount used significantly. I find that when using a dot, the spot will be less severe and heal quicker.
Amazing I love them ,it does work and it’s life saver . Definitely will buy it again and totally recommend it.
These are amazing! If i ever have tough spots, these get rid of them overnight, i forget that ive got them on, im always surprised at how much they extract from my face!
Usually I don’t write reviews but this dots really works to dry spots without leaving a scar, totally recommend them!
Fab product, I love it! Good value and works exactly as described! I’ll always buy these as they work really well!
I don’t get spots too bad but I do suffer with pimples on my chin on the occasion, and these patches are awesome! I just pop one on before bed, peel it off in the morning and 8 times out of 10 there’s a lot of gunk on the patch! Recommend to anyone
They don’t always get rid of the spot first time but they definitely have an impact on it and reduce it somewhat. I either wear these over night or I wear them if I’m working as I wear a face mask however, I wouldn’t personally wear them under makeup as they are noticeable but worth it if your blemishes are in need of something to discourage them asap 🙂
Love these little magic dots. Flatten spots and remove redness overnight without drying. Alternative brands just not the same!
Does what it says – extracts impurities from your spots – it even got rid of some really old ones I didn’t know about. TDLR; would buy it again regardless of cons. Squashed an annoying spot within 3 treatments.
Pros:
Hard to spot (pardon the pun) and blended nicely withh my skin colour
Extracts impurities from spots without any hassle – keep it for 6 hours or more as the pack says
Clears spots you didn’t even know you had which may be around the main spot you wanted to cleanse
At least for my skin there were no adverse reactions
After 3 dots and just over 24h my spot had totally reduced in size.
Cons:
Hard to peel off the pack, even harder not to accidentally fold it in at which point good luck unsticking it
As these are not like a plaster (individually packed) you can’t peel off the backing without also leaving some finger prints
Comes in two sealed packs so you basically expose half of the box to air to just be able to use one making it rather inconvenient for storage before next use. Too soon to tell but will update this if they are completely unusable the next time I need them.
Not really a pro or a con just funny:
When removing it will look like an octopus suction cup has just been removed from your face and left a perfect circle – takes a few minutes before it disappears but if you placed many of these on your face just be ready to look like you have been part of some octopus fight club

I think my daughter was happy with the results, but she’s a teenager so who knows
Get a spot, pop one on and several hours later either the spot is pretty much gone or at the very least looks and feels better.
I am not your normal user of spot removal products because I’m in my sixties. But after many (many !) years of a stubborn spot or tiny cyst or millia on my chin, that NEVER went away, but never came to a head either i decided to do something about it. I went to a skin clinic to burn the top layer of skin away, a bit uncomfortable for a few seconds and a horrible smell of burning flesh. They said to let it settle and rebook another appointment. But, when i got home and looked in a magnifying mirror, i couod see 5 tiny little deep set whiteheads, they must have been there for many years and the skin had grown over them. For the first time ever, i actually saw what the problem was and was keen to fix it myself. I googled it and found it was called a “blind” spot, that would never go away on its own. One treatment suggested was these stickers, i wanted them quickly as i didnt want them to heal over again. Well, i put one sticker on overnight, and in the morning it had all the contents drawn out and nothing left in my skin. All these years of wishing this spot would go away, and it was fixed in one night. I was so pleased, and no one even noticed i had it on, 99% invisible.. Fabulous product, but i would suggest that the problem area is revealed as much as possible for the sticker to do its work.

I absolutely swear by these these are great for the spots that just wont come up these will bring up very stubborn spots within 2 days this brings them to a head. My spots have a habbit of staying completely under the skin and hurting loads, this is the only thing that stops me picking at them i have been using these for months and they are the only thing that works. I have extremely sensitive skin and i struggle using even plasters but these do not react with my skin whatsoever. They are a must buy if you get big angry spots
They’re expensive for what they are but they do help if you’ve got a spot with a white head
These are great for those really stubborn zits that need an extra push. Sadly I get those big painful hormonal spots on my jawline which are AWFUL to deal with. You can either leave them to come to a head, which is painful and can take weeks. Or go straight in try to burst them, but risking making it worse. That’s where these patches are a godsend. Once I’ve put it on, for starters it stops me picking at the spot, which is a miracle in itself. Then usually 1 of 3 things will happen. Either the nasty spot puss will get absorbed by the patch, or the patch will help bring it to a head so you can rid of it easier. Either that, or the spot just gradually shrinks away. I only use these patches for the big dire spots. For me the only downside is that you can kind of see the outline of the patch on your face, and it’s hard to cover up with make up. However personally, I don’t really care. I’ve happily gone to my local store with a couple of these over my zits, and nobody noticed. Definitely helpful for anyone with stubborn spots.
Despite them not having any actual active ingredients in them (or as far as i’m aware anyway) I was skeptical, but they are so discreet I wear them all day on zoom and they do work. Sore spots loose their pain, redness and lumps are reduced and they prevent scabbing/scarring… plus protect from my hands touching my face or dirt from pollution.. definitely seen a difference and would recommend.
Been using these for ages and they’re amazing, best on acne that has come to head otherwise it’s pretty useless. I have a habit of picking at my skin but if I do, I rub my skin with rubbing alcohol to help the dots stick and apply one. This allows to bacteria to go into the sticker instead of building up on your skin again.
It really does work only thing for me is the price why does it have to be sooo expensive. When I get the 30 I go through it so quickly. It’s a great product but is it worth the money nah I’m not that rich
Works wonders on them annoying lumps that you can’t pop. I put one on before I go to bed and shrinks massively by the morning.
I tried these first on a really big, shallow pimple I had, which was looking like it would burst. That’s the exact type it should it be best at dealing with! After keeping it for the entire night, I removed the patch to see it hadn’t done anything.
So I just squeezed the pimple like the inpatient animal I am, got all possible stuff out. And since I had these stickers, I just stamped another one over it.
And surprise surprise! This second patch became really full and it stopped the pimple from getting inflamated more!
So I know I’m not supposed to squeeze, but I can’t help myself. But now, after I squeeze, I put the patch on and it easily absorbs all build-up just as it appears. In this way I can get rid of pimples for 2-3 days, when it would have normally taken more than a week. I also notice that since I started doing this, it’s a lot less common to get a new pimple after messing with an old one.
I’m definitely going to keep bying this. But I feel it’s important to note, it absolutely doesn’t get the hard chunks out of the pimple. So I’m not sure if it can resolve anything by itself unless the pimple’s been squeezed already.

Used following RF removal of some moles and have minimised scarring.
Perfect size and stayed stuck all day.
This is the third packet I’ve bought for my don. He swears by them. I bought the larger pack this time as it works out less expensive.
I buy these like once every few weeks or so. So helpful, so discrete and they really do help me not pick at my face as much. They also make me feel more confident. They honestly suck out all the gunk too it’s crazy haha
These work well but are quite expensive and are hard to peel off the backing without destroying them. Nevertheless a good product.
My daughter loves these. They really help her spots. She cleans her face and puts them on before bed and spots are less angry and less noticeable in the morning. Little expensive but I think worth it.
Have tried cheaper options and they barely worked, these ones are brilliant & I keep getting them.
These are the best spot plasters I’ve tried hands down but I’m always so gutted by how expensive they are. They help draw out any nastiest and heal your spot overnight so well, they have pretty good sticking power (as long as you apply before moisturiser/oils/anything that doesn’t dry in) and they’re quite transparent so good for day as well as night use. Have helped me stop picking. I’ve tried cheaper and they don’t match up to these ones. Also I like the packaging and the fact that you rip the sheet to help release them without accidentally folding them up. I recommend but before cost per unit is quite high.
Reduces fluid in pimples, even scabs that are forming. The dots could be made easier to peel off of the plastic sheet.
Really sticks down securely so hardly visible. Cleared up spots and also stops you from touching your face. Love them
Really work!!! Hormonal spots are now a monthly occurrence for me….. I’ve come off the pill in past six month and recently onto a non hormonal coil. I always had spots throughout my teens and twenties. But these recent hormonal spots put all others to shame! Huge bumps on my chin, jaw and neck and so painful. I bought these dots to see if they would help – they really have been so helpful. I’m working from home so don’t mind that they’re not very invisible. I bought 60 and think they’re completely worth the money. Cheaper than buying hundreds of products like I’ve been doing post 6 months haha.
These are great for helping heal spots and draw out whiteheads. You need to be careful how you remove the dots from the plastic sheet, beCause if you dig the edge of the dot it won’t lay flat on your skin making them more noticeable. They are a very good product, but could be cheape
These are brilliant. Work really well overnight to encourage a spot to come out. Reduces inflammation and redness. Very hard to see when on your face so you might get away with wearing daytime too.
Very good product. It helps a lot only thing is that if you are dealing with many spots it finishes quickly and can become a costly repeat purchase
Fantastic
This is a life changer. Really helps with spots. Especially if you like picking on spots. This will certainly help you.
This is the third different brand of these I’ve purchased. The pros of this one is the dots stay firmly in place on the packaging until you choose to use one, they are slightly more sheer than others, and they seem to do something to the skin (based on remnants) overnight.
However, these are all one size, which wasn’t ideal sometimes. Also compared to other brands 20-30% of the time had to have on a couple nights in a row rather than just one. (Not scientific I know, but just my experience.) They still ended up working, which is the ultimate goal, so would still generally recommend.
Really helps them! I have bad cystic acne at the moment and they really help, especially with the urge to pop and pick.
Went for cheaper alternatives and nothing compares. Still very pricey though!
Dots for spot did help clear up my spots and is very transparent that it not easily noticeable. Helps keep the area clean to aid healing. Is worth the purchase
I bought the patches in order to tackle the random pimples and spots I get on my face. I have fairly smooth skin and only get pimples on occasions but when they come, there either huge or small with the white puss in there. And they almost ALWAYS are between my eyebrows so essentially a third eye.
The other leading pimple patches were a little expensive and I wasn’t too sure of the reviews so when I saw Dots for Spots’ reviews, I thought I should give it ago.
They worked exactly as instructed and detailed on their packaging and within like 6 hours or so, the patch went white, the pus was gone and the pimple had reduced.
Out of the 24 patches I’ve used about 14 or so and each time, the results have been quick and effective.
So I decided to try it on my ….. TMI….. pubic boils I get ever so often. My boils(cysts??) can be quite painful and they always come to a head so I thought I should try it on one that was causing quite a lot of discomfort and was super unsightly.
I didn’t expect anything because they said it really only works on pimples that have come to a head but I did it anyways and WHEN I TELL YOU THE WHOLE PATCH WENT WHITE IN 8 HOURS, IT WENT WHIIITE!!! So i peeled it off and YOOOOOO oh my goodness, that white pus started gushing out. It shocked the hell out of me that this tiny patch did this but guys, my boils have been causing me issues for years and it’s always a struggle to get rid of them quickly so the patches results gave me a beacon of hope.
I put another patch straight after as the boil was still a little raised and I wanted to reduce this. Left the patch overnight, and whoooo results again – the boil was pretty much non-existent.
I know this was TMI, I know it was guys but these patches will be forever purchased by me unless they stop working. Lifesaver!
Pro:
– Super sticky and stays on the skin
– Didn’t irritate my skin in any way
Con:
– The patches aren’t as invisible as you might think, they reflect the light a lot more than I expected but I didn’t mind wearing them outside because they worked magic man!
– not really a con just something to be mindful of ….Patch is not as adhesive to pubic skin so at times it wouldn’t stay in place but wearing knickers helped
I love these and use them all the time. They are super effective!
These are an absolute life saver. As someone who’s had acne for over 5 years and has tried every product under the sun, I’m so impressed with how well these work. Great for removing whiteheads and stopping the dreadful habit of picking and squeezing. They are hardly noticeable, even though they’re covered by a mask most of the time!
Have used these for a while now and they always amaze me. They stop me from poking and squeezing whilest also doing good for my ski
I will rebuying these over and over. They are perfect for pimples overnight or I even wear them sometimes during the day to avoid picking. They are really thin, I even have problems to locate them in the morning.
If you have large areas to cover I wouldn’t recommend these though as you will use them all up. I buy the hydrocolloid dressings from Savers and I cut the “glue” around and use them on large areas, they work the same but cheaper!
I’m obsessed! Like a lot of you I questioned the value for money as they can seem quite pricey but they are SO worth it one you’ve tried them. Before these I’d tried pimple patches from Peter Thomas Roth and Nip and Fab and they are not even 10% as good as these.
Besides using them on ready to pop pimples, I like to apply them on any new or developing pimples when I know I have to wear a protective mask all day. Keeps them clean and the swelling at bay!
I had no faith in these, but bought them because I have to wear a mask for long periods of time in the hospital I work and so I am struggling with mask acne.
They work really well, they definitely reduce the spot, I would say in 1-2 days its gone.
They stop me from picking at them too!
I would 100% recommend them!
They have stopped me from further post hyper pigmentation as I don’t need to overly add pressure to squeeze my spots now.
Note: They work best for spots that have come to a head . They don’t work for nodules deep under the skin.
How to Use
1- Apply after washing face, and moisturizing. Your skin needs to be dry to apply…
– (If you apply the sticker too soon after moisturizing the stickers won’t hold or last).
2 – There is a fold on each sticker, fold it slightly and grab a clean pair of tweezers to gently lift the sticker and apply it to the spot, then press it down for a few seconds to make sure it’s held down nicely.
~~~Using tweezers prevents the dot from wrinkling
~~~Your moisturizer with the sticker is enough to draw the head of the spot out quicker – Don’t apply anything drying over the sticker as the whole point is to bring the head to a surface.
~~~Optional – The next day or when the spot has formed you can apply BHA or Tea tree oil over the sticker to prevent bacteria spreading.
Normally within a few days I see the sticker has turned white (drawing out the moisture/gunk).
Leave the sticker on as long as possible to prevent squeezing your spot.
~~~Also, when the spot is small with a tiny head, I cut the sticker in half, which means I can use 1 sticker for 2 spots…
Pros: Everything
Cons: You have to use tweezers to lift the sticker dots so it won’t crease/crinkle.
Okay. I was a little sceptical when I first bought these. I suffer from horrific cystic acne when it’s the time of the month or I’m run down, it’s so sore and painful, and I can’t help but pick!
I had some huge beasts on my chin and jawline so I thought I’d give these a try. They had come to a head and I’d picked them so they had scabbed over. Popped a patch on them after I cleaned my face before bed, waited until morning and they had totally shrunk, like they were flat dots….
So many plus sides to these little beauties. You can barely tell when you have one on, they cover well with make up, and they WORK!
