Dots for Spots Pimple Patches – 1 Pack of 24, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Hydrocolloid Acne Stickers
WHO ARE DOTS FOR SPOTS?
Born from experience, and in response to a lack of availability in traditional retail, Dots for Spots is a brand on a mission to normalise acne. We create fun, innovative, and inclusive products for universal problems, using only the highest quality vegan and cruelty-free ingredients.
WHAT ARE DOTS FOR SPOTS?
Dots for Spots are miniature, sticker-like dots that harness hydrocolloid technology to absorb impurities (pus and fluid) from your spots. Sounds too good to be true? They also provide a no-touch healing environment, protecting from breakout causing bacteria.
HOW DOES HYDROCOLLOID TECHNOLOGY WORK?
It’s very simple. Hydrocolloid is an adhesive, absorbent, waterproof material, scientifically backed by countless clinical trials, that creates a moist environment and optimum conditions for your spot to heal. It can also help prevent a scab forming, which can reduce the possibility of scarring.
HOW DO I USE DOTS FOR SPOTS?
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
TEARRemove a sheet of dots from their protective pouch. Using the perforated line, carefully tear the sheet. | PEELPeel a dot off the sheet. Dots for Spots work best on spots that have come to a head. Results may vary for other spots. | STICKPress down gently for a couple of seconds to secure it in place. We recommend applying your dot to clean, dry skin. | WAITFor best results, wear for 6+ hours, or simply leave overnight. You can tell it’s ready to be removed when the translucent centre has turned opaque white. |
WHAT SKIN TYPES ARE THEY SUITABLE FOR?
Dots for Spots is an inclusive brand for a universal problem and are suitable for all skin types, ages and genders. They’re fragrance-, alcohol- and paraben-free, so no need to worry about any hidden ingredients.
DO THEY WORK ON ALL SPOTS?
Dots for Spots work best on spots that have come to a head, although they are a great way to stop the touching, picking and squeezing of any type of spot.
DO YOU TEST ON ANIMALS?
No, we don’t and never will! As well as being proud to say that Dots for Spots are cruelty-free, we’re also vegan friendly.
ARE YOU SUSTAINABLE?
Dots for Spots are committed to carbon offsetting and contribute a percentage of sales to the incredible reforestation projects of our partner, Treeapp.

I wasn’t sure how well these would work but they did! They stick on great and look sheer when worn out during the day. I usually sleep with them on and they stay on all night and come off easily in the morning. I have noticed that they worked for me. I’ll be buying more soon!
Does exactly what it says, sticks well and helps bring the gunk out of spots. Is slightly on the pricer side for the amount you get but can honestly say it’s definitely top 2 in brands for these types of spot patches.
I’ve been using these for a couple of years now and swear by them. I wear them overnight, they are especially good for those deep set spots that have a white head but loads under the surface.
I also put them over to stop me picking existing spots. They aren’t an overnight fix but definitely reduce the spots down.
hese are okay, and help me stop picking at my spots, they stick on well and stay on overnight although im not sure if they have helped my spots much
They do what they say. They’re particularly good if you squeeze a spot and want to keep the area clean and stop a scab from forming. I’m not sure I’d buy them again because of the price though
Absolutely love these spot stickers, not only because they are almost invisible and very slim but also because of the little details such as the easy peel mechanism. Although I would say that these stickers do not necessarily actively heal my spot it definitely helps with faster clearing because it stops bacteria and dirt from getting to the spot whilst or sleep or during the day in general.
Sometimes the spot plasters just get gummed up with skin oils and don’t really suck anything out of my spots, but at least they prevent me from picking them. They’re pretty easy to apply, and the perforated plastic sheet they’re on make it easy to pick them up without folding the edges. They’re definitely visible though, people will be able to see that you’re wearing them– they’re not glaringly obvious, but they’re definitely there.
These work like magic! I simply stick it on a spot I have , usually over night and it draws all the nastiness from the spot I have leaving it less inflamed and not as red
I wore dots overnight on spots . Brilliant drawing out horrible gunk . Because you can wear out in the day . Where my spots were have healed leaving no scars.
Great value, small but mighty, see through so great blending into skin .
These are great. They draw out the gunk or white / clear stuff and reduce the size and redness of spots. I had some small old blind spots for months which I could not shift. These after 24 hours pulled out the gunk and spots now gone, cheaper than the star stickers boots sell and are very effective
Have used these for the first time and kinda liked it. Very transparent do not easily visible. The stickiness doesn’t go off easily which is suitable to use in water.
I tried Dots for Spots Acne Patches for a few weeks, and I found that they helped slightly to reduce the size and redness of my spots, but they did not work as efficiently as intended. I also found that they did not actually help to get through the acne. However, I did find that they helped to prevent scratching and picking, which is important for preventing scarring.
Overall, I would not recommend Dots for Spots Acne Patches to anyone who is looking for an effective way to treat acne breakouts. However, they may be a good option for people who are looking for a way to prevent scratching and picking at their spots.
If you are looking for an effective acne treatment, I recommend speaking to a dermatologist. They can help you to develop a treatment plan that is right for your skin type and severity of acne.
I love this product. I normally get 2/3 spots a month and this product makes them disappear in just one night. I use my skin care and before going to bed I put it on the spot, next morning is gone! Fantastic!
Best ones I’ve come across that stick well and aren’t noticeable. Does hurt a bit to peel off however. The sizing of them is perfect too, and I think definitely worth what you pay fo
These are quite hit and miss.. half the time they work very well and I can see the result on the sticker.. other times they have done absolutely nothing to help. Will probably look for an alternative produc
Overall, I highly recommend trying acne patches for anyone looking to combat breakouts quickly and effectively.
These really work! And I’ve tried a few! Best ones so far and cheap!
I get on with these personally. I don’t find they blend that well and you can’t wear foundation and have this on as it will ring round it. It just doesn’t work. But they help reduce inflammation and redness
If you need a spot sorted for the next day these are it. Will flatten it. I leave mine on for days, just replacing when it’s gone white n
I always have these I’m my drawer. Other brands not good.
As someone who fights with acne, I am constantly trying new products. This is very good for white-inflamed pimples. I stick it in the evening and take it off when I wake up in the morning.It really works. I’ve tried other brands, but this one works best.!
Great product that works well to reduce spots. Can be worn under make up.
Wasn’t sure if these would actually work but really pleased with the outcome after using them will definitely be adding these to my skincare routine going forward
These are a game changer. They really work to hasten spots away and they are very hard to see. They can be worn nearly invisibly over a red spot and will make it look skin coloured while healing it in the process.
They are also great for tiny cuts – make the heal up much quicker.
They actually work! They are not very noticeable either, i wore them out for the day and you could hardly tell
If my spot is an angry red blemish I will use a dot for spots in the daytime and it takes the redness away. As soon as a head appears I use the dot for spot during the night and the spot has gone.
Using these definitely improves the severity of a spot, stopping it from increasing in size and redness.
a little pricy but not as bad as other brands. works as well as expected
Not a miracle product by any means, but they do work quite well. You’ll need to use them several times on one spot for the best effect, but even just once they have a noticable impac
The patches are one-sized and too thick, which makes it a bit visible on skin. But it absorbs pus effectively.
great stuff. I used to buy hydrocolloid patches and cut them to shape I needed but obviously that would impact on ability of patch to connect well to the skin in long term. this is a perfect solutio
A colleague recommended these to me. I bought them then gave my brother half of my pack. I now buy them regularly. They’re so good because they extract really well and also hide them at work
Works a treat! Not as fiddly as the smaller ones.
I wish I’d come across these a lot sooner! I don’t really get spots but when I do it tends to be a fairly decent size one, rather than squeeze and make my face sore I just pop one of these on over night and in the morning its near enough healed
Really work. Left my large red spot in the morning light pink and had gone down loads. Well impressed
My partner didn’t notice I even had them on. I’ve worn them in the day and overnight.
I’ve bought these a few times now. I put them on the target area just before bed, wake up the following day and find a very painful spot to be greatly reduced. I have bought other brands but none compare to these.
If you’re considering buying, just buy them and try for yourself .
Got menopausal acne around the chin and after trying the compeed dots for cold sores and being impressed, thought I’d try these for acne. Omg! So impressed. After a single application overnight, the spots have gone from angry red bumps to almost flat blemishes! Cannot believe how well they’ve worked. I never leave reviews normally unless I’m really impressed, these are a great product.
This is absolutely amazing!!! Every time I have a spot appearing I put the sticker on and it literally goes down !!!
Very easy to use , covers easy with make up if you don’t want patches on show , reduced a big blind spot within three nights to almost nothing . Will definitely buy agai
I’ve tried a few different brands of spot patches but these top them all. Unlike others these patches actually help to heal the skin and improve its appearance. Also extremely sheer and discreet. Highly recommend!!
Easy to use, but mainly used them over night or when in house
They clear up my spots in less than a week
Stays on and camouflages well. Was recommended this by a friend and would definitely buy more for my next break out. Recommend these to a friend. Love them
I am new to these types of products, which is surprising as I’ve been an acne sufferer for years now. Great addition to skin care treatment. I find the added pressure of wearing the product helps with redness too. And you can hardly notice them with make up either!
I used to use toothpaste on the spot before going to bed and then washing it In the morning. That also worked. But this is more convenient.
My favourite patches. On the pricey side, though, and often out of stock in Ireland, so I save them for “special occasions” and leave other brands for everyday use.
These patches are thin and adhere really well. As someone who can’t stop picking, these really did work to stop my bad habit. Definitely works best on whiteheads. I would be tempted to wear them out of the house as they are so thin and sheer.
Thought I would give these ago at 50 and going through the menopause I am getting spots!! I find these help I put them on before bed and they help reduce swelling and my spots clear a lot clearer, I don’t get many spots but the ones I have I don’t need to worry about now vey good in my opinion.
They do what they are meant to do, good brand
Great product. This is the 2nd purchase I’ve made of this product. Apply onto your spot, wear overnight and the result is no spot or significant reduction in your spot.
Best I’ve tried for hormonal acne. Super comfortable stay on well, thin, sheer, and manages to disguise redness, definitely clears breakouts quicker, stops the often inevitable picking and scarring as it’s covered. Generally use overnight but can be used under makeup if you so wish.
These are lifesavers, really help any kind of spots heal faster, it protects them from dirt and you touching it. Great product!
I love them so much. They suck all the gunk out overnight and leave my face without long lasting marks. But they’ve been out of stock so long now! Pls bring them back
Easy to use, as long as the spot has a head on it, plenty of the pus is drawn out so spurs are smaller, less inflamed and less painful overnight! Highly recommend.
I have acne and these are life saver! I have tried other brands but nothing works as well as these. Especially as my acne can become quite painful I couldn’t be without.
While they may not be permanent solution for acne they REALLY do work to get rid of spot overnight. Use them with your usual acne treatment and u wont regret. They’re particularly useful around my periods for any hormonal acne which usually tends to be more cystic.
These are amazing and usually work overnight. Only a couple of times I have had to use more than one but usually on bigger acne/spots. They are really lightweight so you do not even notice they are there. I move around a lot in my sleep and they have never fallen off. If you have a nightbout after work they are easily covered with some make up and it takes it all out before your evening. Would totally recommend, great value for money also.
Hardly visible and stick well, literally until you take them off, even through a shower.
For a male so no idea about covering them in make up.
Tried cheaper brands but they are a thicker, less flexible plastic so more noticeable & fall off.
With really bad pustules they help bring it to the skin for safe extraction in 2-3 days. Huge fan.
i go to sleep with them on, seems to be the only way they actually make a difference but they’re grea
I attended an awards event with one of those on my face and it felt healthier and more discreet than trying to cover my spot up with concealer. Recommend 🙂
Super easy to apply and to remove and they sort my spots out every time. They go everywhere with me just in case!
Great value for money and prompt delivery. Would definitely recommend and order again.
Blends well with darker skin tones (visible, I wouldn’t leave the house with it on, but fine for around the house), does well to extract spots that are on the surface. Would recommend.
Great value for the price & the only ones I would use. They work great & brilliant under your makeup, but even better can wear them with know makeup & know one would realise, never buy other brands , these are the best.
Heard everyone rave about these, done some research and read the reviews and it dose exactly what it says on the box
Best thing ever!! I rarely write reviews unless they are a warning to fellow shoppers, but I had to write about these. Brilliant item! My angry spots disappeared overnight. It does exactly what it says on the tin. 100% recommended
I have bought these 3 times and have been great. I have also tried different pimple patches and these are way better. They stick good, work well and are cheap.
I have no problems with this except 1 time it hadn’t been delivered.
Overall great product.
These work fine, I would say that they work best for spots that have heads on them already, and it’s best to leave them on for as long as possible – I saw the best results when having them on for around 24 hours. They don’t tend to do much for spots that don’t have a head or bigger spots that are a little deeper under the skin.
They are easy to apply and do a good job of sucking all of the nastiness out of a spot but there are a few drawbacks…they aren’t sheer to the point of not noticeable and if you apply moisturiser to your face before applying they won’t stick.
These are brilliant. I have suffered with spots for years and struggle to find anything that actually helps. These are brilliant for spots that are just coming to a head but not quite there yet, it pulls all the yucky stuff out and reduces the pain and swelling. Its very satisfying pulling them off to see whats come out. They stick very well too and are barely noticeable.
Teenager doesn’t do much skin care so got these and we have seen an improvement. He says they get gunk out and flatten his spots but takes time. Also keeps dirt out of things he’s popped. Doesn’t work on deep spots tho just white heads
These are absolutely amazing IF you use them in the right way. If you pick and squeeze your spots, these will make the biggest difference. Sometimes you can’t help but squeeze to release the pressure, and you then find that in the morning you have a huge weepy volcano on your face which is impossible to cover up with a cover up stick or anything else. If you pop one of these on after you have squeezed, no matter how much damage you have done, when you wake up in the morning and take the dot off, you’ll find the area is completely flat and completely dry, which then allows you to cover it up with makeup and leave it alone until it heals, leaving no scar. Put one on before you go to bed, and leave it in place until the morning to withdraw all the moisture from the spot you have squeezed. I would never be without them now.
These have become a regular purchase in our house, mainly for my teenage son but I have used them on occasion. Like any skin care product, what works for some might not work for others. For my son & I they work amazingly. Literally put 1 on before bed & the next morning my spot was GONE! It’s a bit different for my son (teenage spots) some are gone in the morning others are still there but a lot less angry looking a few days later they are gone. I think they are definitely worth a try because like us, they might work a treat. Wish they were a bit cheaper but as they work, I will continue to purchase.
I have been getting a really spotty nose lately due to mask wearing, too much chocolate eating and general hormone issues. I popped a couple of patches on overnight. A bit of care is needed peeling them off the backing as they can get stuck to themselves if not careful. They adhere really well, stay put all night and are not majorly noticeable. I have noticed a definite difference in 1 day so I hope others may also have great results too!
These certainly reduced the swelling of my hormone-related spots overnight. The next morning they appeared less red and angry, flatter and not as painful. I had to remove then re-apply a few at various intervals to reduce each individual spot but, tbh it would have been a miracle if I had woken up and my blemishes had just disappeared the next morning. There are no quick fixes for a break out, but I would definitely purchase these again as I noticed a difference sooner than other products.
Recommend!
I normally use a hot compress for blind pimples to help get the head out but it takes time and doesn’t always work. I had a huge blind pimple on my cheek which I very much poked to get the head out and it made it so much worse. So I did some research and found this with amazing reviews so thought to give it a try. And I must say as soon as I used to, after 6 hours when I removed it I could already see the head coming onto the surface. After a few more uses I managed to get all the nasty stuff out and it helped to heal the pimple too as it was very painful. So 100% recommend it. Nothing has ever worked on blind pimples as well as this. If you struggle with blind pimples, this is your sign to give this a go!! Huge thumbs up.

Overall experience:
I bought these for the first time, as I had been going through a rough time with my skin lately. Hormonal breakouts mean that I have those under-the-skin big bad boys (cysts). I have found that putting these on absorbs the nasty stuff and reduces inflammation. It’s now been over a week of using them and I have to say that they are a new staple in my must-haves! This not only brings some of my spots to a head, but it also helps prevent me from touching it throughout the day. I have seen a visible reduction in redness and size. I like to wear them overnight or under my mask during the day 🙂
I was very skeptical about this product (even though the reviews were great) as I’ve not really had any luck with similar products but I can honestly say that this is a must have! I opened this after work today, put a patch on a very mean and inflamed blackhead/spot at around 5:30pm and I’ve just taken it off at 10:40pm and I’m amazed – it’s ‘sucked’ out the bad stuff into the patch and the swelling and inflammation has dramatically reduced already! Even better, I couldn’t really feel the patch whilst it was on (apart from the odd time I touched my face and had forgotten it was there!) and it’s not really noticeable to look at until it becomes slightly milky when it’s ready to come off. Overall I’m super happy with this and will be recommending to all!
Only bought these a couple of days ago but have used on two ‘hormonal’ spots (I get them on my chin/jaw most months) and I’m impressed. They were almost at a head so popped a dot on each and left them to work their magic overnight. Woke up and the redness and swelling had gone down more than expected!! A day later they’re barely noticeable. You could def use them during the day as you really can’t see them. Don’t think you could cover with make up but great if you’re not going anywhere. Plus they stop the urge/ability to squeeze or touch spots which I struggle with!! So win win. Will def be keeping these as a staple in my bathroom from now on!!
Hello! After buying and trying this product for months I am ready to leave a review for my fellow amazoniers here. Yes, Buy it. Give it a try it does not disappoint. I have hormonal acne + oily /sensitive skin this little parches are almost imperceptible to a human eye even in day light so it covers the pimple and blemish but the best part is when you take it out after 6h and the pimple either is Gone or is ready to easily extract it I love the fact that when the patch is on the pimple Im not tempted to squish it or touch it. Honestly Im in love with this product and I hope it works for you too 😉
I suffer from acne, and for the spots that has come to head, it does work. You cover the spot, leave it overnight and peel it in the morning, and the sticker actually draws the gunk out.
I also have cysts and it’s not effective, so if you have cystic acne it is NOT a product for you (the product doesn’t claim to work for this, but I thought I’d write it here in case people are wondering).
I was actually hugely surprised and impressed by this product. I rarely get pimples, but when I do, lord have mercy. They are HUGE. I put this on over night, and the pimple had greatly reduced, less red and the “scab” had healed a lot. Did the same day 2, and I would say it had reduced by 50% from day 1. A great product that isn’t a miracle product that makes pimples disappear but it sure does help.
I had a horrible stress stop right on my forehead. New, red sore pimple. Popped one of these dots straight on and left for 6 hours. Took off gave my face a good wash and breather and applied another just before bed. The next morning this pimple was ready to be released, as I took the patch off everything came oozing out as well. I must say I have never had a spot come and go so quickly. Comfortable to wear, not very visible depending on the spot. They are now my go to.
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
Used on spots that had come to a head and the next morning the pus was on the patch when removed. Redness lessened and swelling gone. I will for sure buy these again. I will use on spots under the surface (no head) purely to stop me picking them and to let them heal faster. You can barely see these on the skin and so comfortable you can forget they’re on! I even had a couple on and used a sheet mask and they didn’t peel or come unstuck at all. No more scars from picking sore cystic spots and squeezing white heads!
