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.

Dots for Spots are committed to carbon offsetting and contribute a percentage of sales to the incredible reforestation projects of our partner, Treeapp.

Bought these to try, not holding out much expectation, as there were mixed reviews. They are good quality, come sealed, have instructions and are easy to apply. They did not cause any skin irritation, they reduced the size of spots (when used overnight) and were easy to remove. Definitely worth the money, will buy again!
Workes!
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
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.
An excellent produc
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.
theyre okay
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
The good but..
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
These ‘dots’ are transparent and hardly visible to the eye when applied to the skin. It’s impossible to see the blemish through the ‘dot’. They are slightly fiddly to apply until you get used to handling them; you need finger nails or the tip of scissors to pick up the ‘dot’ from the packaging. If not picked up carefully, the side of the ‘dot’ puckers and will not flatten due to the adhesive properties. My blemishes were completely healed overnight. Excellent product and excellent value for money.
Great for stopping irritation and is almost invisible
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.
Doesn't always successfully dry out spots, but prevents picking
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.
Definitely helped
Found the dots do help but don’t feel it works best when I have numerous spots at once need something stronger but work for little spots that appear here or there! Great that they are see through as well
My 15 year old son has the odd spot on his forehead and cheek. He has one persistent one on his cheek for nearly a year – which comes back on a continual basis. I was worried it was going to scar as it kept getting quite big – that I reluctantly put him on anti biotics. These didn’t help at all.
I bought the dot for spots and after using 3 dots – over a period of a week (just at night time and over one weekend), the main culprit has gone! I can not believe how amazing these little dots are! He is still using a dot for another week (to make sure), but the whole area hasn’t looked as good as it does now in nearly a year.
I can’t recommend these enough. Def give them a try. At a respectable price
too – which these days is not often the case – they are a no brainer.
One very happy mum as I have a very happy teenager and that’s all us mum’s want!
Magic dots
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
bought these as an emergency as i had a spot brewing on my face, not even at popping point but at the stage where you know its going to be a mountain soon. Whacked it on two days before and had it on for two nights and it was gone. i am OBSESSED with these and will definitely be buying again.
Highly recommend for spots for oily skin .
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 .
Effective on spots
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
Too early to tell, but used it on one so far, 2 pads over 48 hours; the white gunk isn’t actually gunk, it’s just some reaction the pads have, sceptical if it’s a fad or not, however the spot was dry and flatter afterwards. This is fine I guess, but could be an issue for lasting redness long after the spot has gone. Moisturiser after kind of defeats the purpose, especially for people like me who get more acne when I feed it with moisturiser.
Nice
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.
Dots for Spots Acne Patches are a type of hydrocolloid patch that is used to treat acne breakouts. They are designed to create a moist environment that helps to heal spots faster and prevent picking.
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.
Best produc
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!
Good
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
Hit and Miss
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
I have never used these before, but I do get pimples so I thought I would give it a try after reading some good things. They are tiny little clear circles, pretty easy to use, self adhesive, so just peel off and stick them on a spot, if its one of those super deep ones with no head that’s just swollen skin, they aren’t really going to work for those, but if its got a head or coming to a head, or a very surface one, I found them pretty effective. They don’t get rid of them totally, but for me made a difference in size and swelling so it very much reduces their appearance. I found myself buying more when I ran out, also good to prevent a picking habit.
These work really well. Best tp male sure the spot is leaking first. I find it helps to stop me scratching in my sleep and subsequently getting an infection. It makes a big difference – If I catch a spot early enough this stops ot ever swelling and going red. Shame I didn’t know about them earlier in life! I removed a star, as pricey. I tried soem of the other branded versions, and have not found one that compares. Its kind of gross to see what hs come out but at least you can see it working away!
I’m a third time buyer of these spot patches. I’m in my late teens so I still experience breakouts frequently. I was looking to find a product that not only would help heal any spots and blemishes, but also something that would not draw attention to any spots. They are small and clear and so will provide discreet coverage. They stick well as long as you press them firmly when applying but may have to stick back down every now and then if wearing them on an area with a lot of movement such as around the mouth. I wear my overnight and I find that any pimples will disappear within two days. After the first night, it seems like the patches made my spots worse because the whiteheads look more visible. However this is just the patches bringing all the gunk up to the surface of the skin. After the second night of wearing them, when peeling them off, removes all the gunk from the spots and the spots look a lot smaller. Overall, I think they are a decent price considering how many you get and they work well for me so I will continue to keep buying and I recommend.
Spot patches are a game-changer for anyone dealing with pesky spots! I recently tried these dots and was blown away by the results. The patches are made with hydrocolloid, which helps to absorb excess oil and pus from the pimple while protecting the skin from further irritation. I love that the patches are clear and virtually invisible, making them perfect for daytime use. They are also very easy to apply and stay in place for hours without falling off. After using the patches overnight, I found that my pimples were significantly reduced in size and redness. The patches also helped to prevent me from picking at my pimples, which can lead to scarring and further breakouts. Although, they didn’t prevent the spot from forming back again and was unable to get rid the whole spot, but still great product!
Overall, I highly recommend trying acne patches for anyone looking to combat breakouts quickly and effectively.
The best spot patches
These really work! And I’ve tried a few! Best ones so far and cheap!
Good produc
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
My go to
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.
Amazing product, great value for money. Has worked wonders for my skin, very effective. I have used other brands but found these work best for my skin and have repeatedly brought them. They are quite discreet so can be worn out in public with being noticeable. However I prefer to wear overnight as it gives a better resul
Although they’re not as cute as the stars they work just as well. They’re clear and flat to the skin so you can’t really tell they’re even on your skin! Could definitely put make up over the dots too so it’s a win win !
perfec
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 produc
Great product that works well to reduce spots. Can be worn under make up.
Dots for spots - works wonders
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
Perfect for getting rid of white heads but one thing to know, at least in my experience, is when you pull it off and it pulls away the gunk, it does kind of leave you with an open ‘wound’ that you need to ensure is kept clean and dry until it scabs over over night. By open wound I don’t mean that in a scary way, but it seems that how it works is it truly drains it and pulls the white head out almost like a blackhead so you are left with the open ‘pore’ as a result. It does work though. I leave mine on overnight for best results but they go on so sheet you’d easily get away with wearing them out and about during the day.
Brilliant, nearly invisible and highly effective
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.
I’m so glad I discovered these! I had a nasty, deep whitehead just under my nostril which was growing by the day and getting more and more painful. I think it may have been a pustule actually – very different to other whiteheads I’ve had in the past so I was reluctant to pop it. Saw these online and was so happy when they arrived a day early – put one on overnight and the results were dramatic! Peeled it off in the morning and it had taken care of most of it. I put another one on to help the healing process, it provides a nice protective barrier and I’m hoping it will heal a lot quicker having taken care of it this way. Fantastic!
Useful
They actually work! They are not very noticeable either, i wore them out for the day and you could hardly tell
Does the job
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.
Won't get rid of spots but definitely improves them.
Using these definitely improves the severity of a spot, stopping it from increasing in size and redness.
I get a lot of spots (white heads) around my monthly, and these are a god send! They blend with your skin (half the time I forget I’ve got them on). Trick is to wait till you’d want to ‘pop’ the spot but don’t and stick one of these over it over night and it does it for you while also not having a red lump left. Perfect. I’ve just ordered another pack! Even my boyfriend loves them now too!
very nice
a little pricy but not as bad as other brands. works as well as expected
Good
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
They work !!
I can’t believe they work but they do! Amazing pop on before going to bed and no redness the next day. After 2 days all signs of spot had gone…they are Amazing ….have recommended to all my friends! They are clear little patch’s but not totally non existent.
can barely see them on ski
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
Patches are visible but are working well.
The patches are one-sized and too thick, which makes it a bit visible on skin. But it absorbs pus effectively.
Does a great job!
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
Great produc
Works a treat! Not as fiddly as the smaller ones.
Amazing
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
Brillia
Really work. Left my large red spot in the morning light pink and had gone down loads. Well impressed
Work Really Well!
My partner didn’t notice I even had them on. I’ve worn them in the day and overnight.
Amazing item
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 .
Fab produc
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.
Amazing
This is absolutely amazing!!! Every time I have a spot appearing I put the sticker on and it literally goes down !!!
These are the best purchase I have ever made!!
These are amazing! I had a massive inflamed spot with scabs on it due to picking it so much (I have anxiety and pick at scabs without realising). For 2 weeks I have tried various things to calm the spot down with no luck. I put these patches on and changed them after 6-8 hours and after 2 days the massive spot has completely vanished!! I literally can’t believe it! Definitely recommend, I’ll be buying again!
Wasn’t sure about this produc
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 was extremely skeptical about this products claims but also very desperate when I decided to give these dots for spots for a try. I had the largest pimple on my face which was bordering on the size of a boil. 5 days in and it was not reducing in size. It was impossible to cover with makeup as it kept scabbing, bleeding and refilling and was so raised and red. I was embarrassed to leave the house. I put a dot on which was so easy to apply. It just about covered the spot due to its size. I left it overnight (10 hours). The next morning I removed the dot and my spot was less than half the size and was completely flat with no head or scabs. It could easily be covered with a bit of concealer at this point. It honestly felt like a miracle! I would 100% recommend these to anyone and everyone.
Genuinely works
I’m a picker. These have stopped that almost completely. I do find they work a LOT better when the spot has been opened (pin works the best to open without picking at it), but the amount of gunk they get out is amazing. Added bonus, they blur the spots while they’re on. I’ve worn these throughout the day, working in the office as well as video conferences. Much better than heavy makeup to cover and make the spot worse.
Best spot patches around
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!!
One of the better spot patches I've used
Easy to apply, stay on for long periods of time and aren’t too noticeable so I was able to wear them out and about and even to the gym. Definitely saw a reduction in my spots, especially if wearing them overnight. I woke up and they were no longer swollen or as red and painful. I’ve tried more expensive brands that didn’t work so well, so I definitely recommend these.
I’m mixed race so a medium to deeper skin tone. If you studied my face like a weirdo you’d notice but it’s pretty unnoticeable, this all depends on where light hits. However, I’ve worn them out the house a bunch of times and not got any looks (people don’t tend to care as much as we think anyway) and it defo does help a whitehead. Not intended for under the surface spots or ones that are brewing. Defo better on a piercing white head, gets all the gunk out and Hides what’s really going on underneath. It also stops me from picking and gets rid of the redness I do love I do I do.
They worked
Easy to use, but mainly used them over night or when in house
They really do work
They clear up my spots in less than a week
Blends in well
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
Great produc
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 works
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.
Impressive patches.
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.
Helps speed spot recovery
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.
Easy to use nice and transpare
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.
Best ones so fa
They do what they are meant to do, good brand
Spot on!
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.
Hormonal acne
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.
I use them daily
These are lifesavers, really help any kind of spots heal faster, it protects them from dirt and you touching it. Great product!
Love them
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
Brilliant!
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.
Best ones you can buy!
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.
Yes it does work!
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.
Works overnigh
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.
Great produc
They are a good product especially if you get white heads but they dont always work so sometimes they will bring the gunk (the stuff in the spot) forward and sometimes it will get rid of the spot all together. Definitely recommend wearing them at night.
Great for those who just won’t stop picking & ends up damaging the skin when rooting to extract spots.
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.
leave them o
i go to sleep with them on, seems to be the only way they actually make a difference but they’re grea
Very discree
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 🙂
Perfec
Super easy to apply and to remove and they sort my spots out every time. They go everywhere with me just in case!
Really effective - does what it says on the box!
Great value for money and prompt delivery. Would definitely recommend and order again.
Does what it says on the ti
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.
Dots for spots patches
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.
Brillia
Heard everyone rave about these, done some research and read the reviews and it dose exactly what it says on the box
Wow
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
Should buy!!
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.
