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 buy these on a regular basis every couple of months, these work wonders for my skin! When I need a blemish or spot to heal quickly I put one of the dots on overnight and it goes down in the morning.
It makes a protective barrier over the area so that 1) it creates a moist enviroment for your spot to heal and 2) it stops bacteria from entering, particularly if you’re like me and tend to pick at the spot
Granted, it won’t work for every type of spot. Whiteheads are the best to put a dot on overnight as it gives it the time it needs to make use of the dot properly. If a spot is smaller I tear one in half so that I can use one dot for two spots! Sometimes I put one on a blemish too and it helps with inflamation.
So as long as you cleanse, tone and moisturise you skin beforehand these dots will aid your skin to heal!
Works well enough
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.
Good when you need them...
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.
Amazing
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.
Great really helped my kids ski
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
Absolute Game Change
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.
Amazing
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.
Really do the job!
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!
The best ones we tried
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.
Super little spot dots!
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.

Works miracles on blind pimples
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.
These are the best!!
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
Can't go without them now!
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.
What can I say? It works!

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 🙂
A must have!
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!

Little miracle dots
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!!

MY NEW BEST FRIEND
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!
A must.
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 😉

It actually works
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).
Surprised!
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.
Oh wow they actually work!!
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.

Nifty little do
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

Exceeded expectations
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!

Well, i was amazed !
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.

Wow it really works
I’ve had deep rooted spots from wearing mask and they just would not heat for weeks. I only put these on for a couple of hours and it brought up what needed to come out. These will be on my list to keep buying as have a teenage daughter. I’m 52 and am not happy with getting mask acne. Try them, you will be amazed. You will see that there working when looking in the mirror, but don’t want to gross you out!
Buy these. They work and they’re discree
I get a lot of spots and I welcome anything which discreetly helps to get rid of them whilst also disguising them. I loathe having to wear make-up to cover up spots – these provide coverage to the redness and suit my light Caucasian skin very well. I’m not saying go on a hot date wearing them. I am saying, colleagues over zoom will never know. Wear them overnight for that lumpy spot to me flat in the morning!

Perfectio
Before use, I was skeptical as to whether these would actually work. I can safely say, these are one of the best products I have used on my spots. They are most effective for overnight use, but are extremely discreet and so can be worn outside with ease (which I have already done a handful of times). Once applied, you can hardly tell they are there at all, and I have often found myself forgetting I am even wearing them. I am a rather tough reviewer, but these have certainly earned the 5 stars I ahve given them. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fast way to remove pesky pimples!
Love this product, but it has its limitations
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.

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.
Work extremely well on spots with a head.
Both my daughter and I love these. So simple to use, and although they are visible close up the transparency means they can be worn all day. I’m 51 so don’t need to use them very often, but even though I now have wrinkles to contend with I still get the occasional spot so these are good for taking care of those. My daughter is 19 and finds them superb. She used to be quite bad for squeezing spots, but now she uses these instead and they’ve definitely helped to improve her self confidence. I only wish they’d been available in the 80s!!

Love these, just quite pricey
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.
It works
It really works! Stays on overnight. I use them on spots that hurt and/or are under the skin without a real head. Reduces them overnight and stops the pain. And stops me picking at them! I wouldn’t wear them around during the day because they do turn white as they work so it brings more attention to the pimple. As a pimple reducer, I couldn’t think of a better product though so I am going to buy the big bulk pack!
Brilliant for hormonal spot relief
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.
The best hydrocolloid spot patches I've tried
I’ve been using hydrocolloid spot stickers for a few years, long before I heard of brands like Dots for Spots. I assumed that the fact they were more expensive was a result of better marketing rather than superior product, but I was wrong. It’s definitely worth trying these even if you currently buy a different brand normally. I’ve been sold.
These patches are much less visible when wearing them, I often keep them on longer because of that which often means it heals faster (previously I would take the patches off while at work etc).
Secondly, they stick better, and are easier to peel off. Some other brands stick to themselves at the edge as you peel them off which means they are more likely to catch when they’re on your face. These are easy to remove and stick.
While I don’t know if the patch itself works better or more effectively, because they stick better and because they can be worn for longer because they’re less obvious, they do improve results.
The price is higher than other brands, you can definitely get more stickers for your money elsewhere, but you will go through them faster, and they won’t look as subtle. From now on I’m sticking with Dots for Spots.

The price is higher than other brands, you can definitely get more stickers for your money elsewhere, but you will go through them faster, and they won’t look as subtle. From now on I’m sticking with Dots for Spots.
Miracle dots! ✨
These are amazing for destroying those ugly spots that ruin your plans.
I had a spot on the bridge of my nose, right between my eyebrows that was too painful to touch. I bought these to attempt to reduce inflammation and to fix my face! They worked perfectly, I left the small round patch on my face overnight and removed it in the morning. The spot was gone and my skin was very healthy looking underneath too
I have also wore these out in public, and they are barely noticeable
I would highly recommend these to anyone and they have become a staple in my skincare routine.
Protected me from myself
I am so happy!
I’m a picker, I’m a squeezer, I’m an attacker my facer. (You have to read that like The Joker)
I’ve only had these for one day but, popped it on as soon as I got home from work, wore all night and just removed the stickers half hour ago. Well.. I still have the spots but, they are less inflamed because I haven’t been aggravating them and all the pus was at the surface so, I very gently (for a change) gave a little squeeze and the world came out.. cleaned it up and stuck another patch on.
For me it’s more about stopping myself from touching, i get obsessed but, this prevented me from myself!
I wish I found these 10 years ago.
Good, but a bit disappointing.
I am not sure what I was expecting to be honest. I thought this small patch would make my pimples disappear overnight and I would have perfect skin – this was not the case obviously. Nothing you buy will clear spots overnight and so I do think that these patches are good and 100% worth the small price I payed for them.
The main reason I use these is to stop bacteria from my fingers entering the spots as I have a habit of touching spots on my face. I would not say that spots disappear faster after using these but I would say my skin definitely looks better after I use one of these patches instead of popping the spots.
Overall, I would definitely buy again as I like the concept and I do believe they work some what.
Stubborn blind 5 month spot gone!
INCREDIBLE product. I suffer in mid life with hormonal cystic acne – most of the time many spots come and go – but sometimes I get one that appears quickly and lasts months – in fact the most stubborn cyst I’ve had since January (now May) – I’ve had two rounds of antibiotics from the GP, tried many topical products – nothing was working – it was reduced but I was left with an I slightly bump on the cheek as well as pigmentation from it lasting so long. I was blown away by what ‘came out’ with the patch the first time but the ‘bump’ was going! I’ve now done 3 patches overnight and the bump has literally gone. Even the pigmentation is reducing. I hadn’t held out much hope for the product as they don’t guarantee results on blind spots but this is literally the only thing that’s shifted it in 4 months. At the grand old age of 44 and spots for the last ten years I’ve tried LOTS of things but this will be something I always have in my bathroom store cupboard from now on. Actually a brilliant product. Love. Love. Love.

Ridiculously Good
I don’t write reviews but credit where it is due these are an absolute game changer . I have started suffering with hormonal spots that never come to a head and are sore and very obvious , they seem to last weeks without clearing . I tried these last night and woke up this morning to clear skin I am not joking . I have tried every product known and am shocked at how good these are . I have already ordered the 60 pack . I have a few spots on my neck which can never be covered up because it’s too obvious but these cover them up better than any concealer and I’d definitely go out with them on you cannot see them . I paid for this product and haven’t been asked to leave a review but felt something this good needed a review and it has certainly made me feel a lot better about myself than his morning .

Pretty good
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.
Amazing! Actually work :-)
I’m not a big reviewer, and TBH thought for a fiver these probably wouldn’t work…
However they’re amazing! I get the occasional hormonal break out (as if that’d disappear in my 30s!) & they really are almost invisible.
Put one on overnight & in the morning a painful bump under my skin had faded to a red patch that looked like it’d been healing for about a week. They’re a little gruesome when the gunk has been sucked out but weirdly fascinating
Definitely recommended.
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

Okay - could be bigger.
These are okay! I find they work best on spots that have already popped, and they just clean everything out. They definitely didn’t work on acne that was under the skin (which they do state in the listing, I just was hoping for a different outcome…)
I wish they were a bit bigger or at least came in different sizes – I have some big spots!
Fun fact, though. Compeed blister patches do the same job. So where I have a cluster of spots, I put a heel blister patch on overnight instead. Expensive, but it works.
Odd acne scarring.
I’ve heard so much about these, so was expecting quite a lot from them. I can see how they are so popular because they suck out what’s inside the zit (or did for me) but then after using 3 on different spots, I’m left with these awful scars that wouldn’t have been there if I hadn’t used the dots and just popped them by hand. I’m quite apprehensive about using these now and quite nervous about further scarring as I’ve never had scars before. Not really sure what to do from here and it’s a shame because I was expecting much more from this item.

THIS WORKS ~ Best Acne Dots for Acne & Hygienic
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.

Absolutely incredible - I wish they'd had these when I was young!
My 15 year old had heart about this product and wanted to try them out. They are absolutely incredible. She put them on some spots, one was up and had a head on it. The next day it was gone, the product has sucked out the gunk and the redness around the spot had greatly reduced. She then tried one on a spot that hadn’t quite come up and six hours later – per instructions it had also sucked out the gunk and left very little redness. We’ll be buying more for sure. Gosh I wish that they’d been around when I was the same age!
A New Skincare Staple!
These absolutely do work! I was super sceptical but these really do suck out all the gunk and leave the spot in a much better condition. I’m awful for touching spots so having these as an extra barrier is a godsend for my skin! Once they’re on the skin you can see them but they wouldn’t be noticeable from a distance and thanks to their clear colour, these would be perfect for any skin tone! These do have a disclaimer that they work best on spots that have come to a head and results on other spots may vary and I’ve found that to be very accurate but again, at least it stops me from touching the spots and irritating the skin more!
Great value for money
These are really great value for money, the are good but I have used better, but the ones that are better also cost triple the price. so for me I will continue to use these as they are such good value for money and do the trick even if I have to use 2, one after tithe other. The only drawback is that these are a bit more noticeable than my preferred brand, but the bonus is that we are wearing masks so people can’t see. I wouldn’t be able to wear these on a zoom call as the light reflects off then and then shows them.

Amazing Produc
As a 50 year old who still suffers from spots (yeah go figure!)
I am so chuffed I discovered these.
I normally get just the one massive spot every couple of months, so big it had its own postcode and is affectionately called Gerald the Growth.
Pop a dot on when you notice he could be making an appearance, normally do at night, in the morning the dot has changed as it has drawn out all the rubbish from the spot. Use for a couple more nights and Gerald is no more.
Where were these dots in my teens????
My 16 daughter is now using them too, miracle workers.
2 very happy customers
Great value for money and it works!
Sooo I had a massive whitehead spot right under my nose and after applying this throughout the day and then at night.. the next morning I woke up the spot had considerably gone down and it was no longer a whitehead! I have never used a spot sticker before and ones I looked at were all above 20 so this was a great first experience and price. Also tried another brand on Amazon which was cheaper and I came back to this as the other one didn’t do anything but this one takes all the gunk out with every use!!
Pop on a dot to get rid of that spot!
Pop on b4 bed and low and behold no inflammation of pus by the morning.
I found the fact it was covering the spot great as I am touchy feely.
This can only be bacteria bad for my skin. I am struggling with mask acne during these pandemic days. So after a clammy sweaty day at work its easy to just clean off my make up and pop on a dot. I would recommend. I waited until the spot had gone yellow when i would have normally been unable to resist picking and put on a dot instead.

Spot the difference! may take more than one application.
Brilliant. I had a giant spot (thanks masks) and I put this one and left it for the afternoon and overnight. When I took it off in the morning was massively reduced but also a bit bloody, so I cleaned it and put another one on, and left it until bedtime and the spot is almost gone. Unbelievable, years of spots and never had this. Teens are so lucky to have such a simple way to deal with hormonal spots.
They arent totally invisible, definitely noticeable, but less so than the spot, so in my view that’s a win. It’s also satisfyingly gross taking it off and seeing the amount of gunk on the plaster.
I have sensitive skin and these didn’t irritate me. So should be good for most people.

Results are not immediate
I broke out from assumedly stress, and the first day I used them I saw no difference, the second day when used I saw the stickers had slightly changed colour I’m assuming that’s the sticker working on my skin. I left it on over night, definitely takes trial and error. Good value if you’re unable to find it cheaper.
These are not stickers that look like they’ve disappeared once stuck on on visible parts of skin (middle of brow or nose)
These absolutely DO work - witchcraf
Saw these on social media had to buy n try. They absolutely DO WORK ! Bloomin amazing. Pop on at night…spots gone in the morning. Crazy. I don’t get many but when I do it’s horrible and these are literally witchcraft. My only gripe is they are expensive! Seriously you don’t get that many for the price and they are only tiny. Also peeling them off you always get on side of the plaster that’s rum-led and then won’t lay nicely on the skin so they suddenly are ‘not’ invisible. If you can peel one off perfectly ( doenst happen often ) they literally do blend in with the skin so I recommend wearing them at night. Very very good product. Love em. Just please be a bit more generous with them.

Amazing
Covid face masks have been so terrible for my skin, I have to wear them every day and has a really bad and painful outbreak. I did a bit of research and ordered these! They are amazing, made me fel a lot more comfortable, and it’s so satisfying seeing the gunk coming out. My outbreak was so bad I went through a packet of these initially in 24 hours! I then ordered 2 more packets, one for myself and one for my daughter. I’ve only used a couple as the original outbreak has healed. They’re comfortable to wear, invisible and stop me picking. I’ve mainly worn overnight but feel comfortable wearing them out as they’re difficult to see anyway. Combined with these and I got a silk mask to use as a liner under the medical masks I’m happy to say the Maskne outbreak is under control finally.
Just as good as any I've tried and excellent value skin rescue
So easy to use and half the price of mighty patch. Come sealed in two pockets of 12 so one for home and one in your bag just in case. Dots are a little bigger than the whole in a hole punch and cover and stick well. Sheer enough to wear out if you feel comfortable and do a good job of blurring and calming angry spots. Works best on spots that have come to a head or if you want to avoid picking so its a deterrent. Handy to wear in bed and wake up with a less angry spot. They really work just as well as any I’ve tried costing way more and I’m converted from mighty patch and cosrx

I’ve never really suffered with acne, mainly dry skin. That all changed the last couple of months. As I’ve get older (38) my skin has become oily and every month I’m suffering with large, painful blind spots/cysts. Usually at the side of my nose on my cheek.
I could feel one erupting on Thursday so ordered these dots. I receive them Friday and immediately cleaned my face and put on a dot. It instantly looked much better with the dot on. It hide the redness well. By the time I’d received the dots one side of my face was pretty swollen and no head on the spot.
I left the dot on all day, took it off, washed and used a toner and replaced with a new dot. By morning I could see a small head on the spot, but it was still under the skin. I washed my face and replaced dot.
By midday the head was more at the surface so I did squeeze it. So much gunk came out! The spot was still very painful and full so I added another dot.
By the next day the pain had gone and the spot was less than half the size.
My skin is very pale and spot scars hang around for months usually. Well it’s now 4 days since the spot started and it’s completely gone! I can’t recommend these enough. I’m a picker/toucher so these really help protect the spot.
The only downside is there is no way you can put make up over these. The make up doesn’t sit on them and it makes them stick out like a sore thumb. If you do need to wear make up, I suggest wearing a cc or bb cream over the rest of your face and then add a dot after. I found that way it was much less noticeable.

Fab product - highly recommended
These are amazing on a number of different levels
Firstly when they are on your face they stop you touching your face and any acne continuously (which I’m very guilty of)
Secondly, they make a significance difference to yeh appearance and feel of the acne after use
I’ve been suffering badly the last year from hormonal acne on my jaw line – when one goes another one appears
I think I have finally found something to stop me touching my acne and making it worse and also something to help me it in general
A fab product that I can’t recommend highly enough

Expensive but otherwise awesome
I love everything about them apart from the price. 6 for 24 tiny plasters is just unacceptable. I used them up in just four days. That being said, I love everything about them. The plastic sheet that they’re on is perforated in the middle, which allows you to rip the plastic in the middle of the dot which makes transferring them from the plastic onto your face a lot easier. I only got that that’s how you do it after trying to just peel it of with my fingers and that I ended up crumpling the dot a bit which meant it wasn’t lying as flat on my face. If you manage to get the dot on well, they’re super hard to see, I had to feel my way around to find them again! So if on zoom, or in person, these dots are super invisible and also cover up your spots quite well. They stay on easily for a whole day and night without the edges showing, just when you wash your face the edges start to show. They stick so strong that taking them off can be a little irritating for the skin, so I recommend soaking them in a bit of water first (shower or wash your face). I love that they have no other ingredients which could be irritating in them, just hydrocolloid. And they work well! They just soak out all of the gunk of any angry red spot so easily! And when you take the dot off, the spot has healed by a lot. The spots also hurt less when they’re covered by a dot, they don’t get irritated by scarfs or jumpers or masks… and I don’t touch or pick at them anymore either.
Fab once you get the hang of them!
They’re pretty amazing once you get the hang of them! I’m a serial spot squeezer and so initially I had little luck. However, pop one of these on right when it’s starting to hurt and you’re sorted. I didn’t have as much luck with white heads but more for those awful deep spots that never seem to go away. These dots really act like blister plasters, they protect the spot while clearly pulling moisture out too. I have quite bad acne around my period and these are a life saver. I’ve just bought more!
My photos show my second dot of the evening as I put one on on top of some witch hazel for an especially troublesome spot.
Fab once you get the hang of them!

If I can buy stock on this, I would. It’s that good. No one paid me to say this, but I’m halfway thru my 2nd large pack now after trying the 24 dots pack. I’ve used another brand overseas before too and they seem to work similarly, except they have small and large sizes… and this is mainly all large, which I prefer as it’s good to cover more of the area.
I’ve had clear skin my entire life till I hit my 40s, hormonal acne… imagine while I fight wrinkles at the same time, this happens! I just can’t believe it. I’m hugely traumatized by this sudden twist of faith, considering how good my skin has been my whole life (Asian too). I went to see my dermatologist and he said It’s not THAT severe, but it is to me in the mirror. People used to ask me what I do for such good skin!
I’ve gone thru every product under the sun from J&J Clean & Clear, organic tea tree oil of every sort, even Mycin from a dermatologist (antibacterial gel)… except the last, most performed average. These sticker seems to be the cure for the later stage especially. IMO They work best on “ripe” pimples, where it’s inflamed but told you shouldn’t squeeze, while not squeezing and leave it hanging inside for months, ultimately scarred also (my experience anyway). Use the sticker at that white head stage. Put it on cleansed skin before bed, and watch the miracle peels off in the morning (hello photo, that was a good morning alright knowing that concealer WILL cover the flat spot).
For non ripen ones, I found it less useful… but I guess as the other reviews said, it helps to keep clean. It took me months but I find Origins’ Spot Remover to be the best in shortening that inflammation period, and the sticker goes on when it’s ready to be “flattened” and pulled out.
The most satisfying is when I see the big white spot when it peels off (min is 6 hours btw), which you may need to do several rounds of before it fully comes out. Do give your skin a few hours in between to breath also. I follow with the most expensive Aloe by PHB, that is the ONLY thing so far that actually lightens my acne scars if I do it religiously.
There, you just cut out a whole route of pain… see if these work for you. I’m not paid by anyone, but I feel your pain and just want someone else to short cut the experimenting. Hope it helps you too.
I don’t wear them during the day as in the process of pulling them off the plastic, I always nik the edge a little somehow, therefore it won’t lie flat and looks like I have a scab of skin peeling off. Not exactly the look I’m after.
These spot stickers are certainly not cheap. If you’re the manufacturer/seller, I hope you can come down on price considering how massively popular they are now and you’re in the top 10 on Amazon for Beauty! Many young people I’d imagine can’t afford to use the amount I’m using sometimes (like 13 on my face at once once during a bad breakout)? Consider it’s a medical cure in essence. I’m commenting here on the “bigger” pack that’s barely making any difference as it’s 0.01p cheaper, which is kinda a joke – you can do better! Maybe cut down on packaging? Don’t mind the foil bag with all 5 sheets. Offer even BIGGER packs? I don’t know, but please, make them accessible to more people. It’s only the ethical thing to do.
Bottom line, this works. Hands down. Apply it at the stage that it performs best and you’ll see results. I hope you too will find some relief on your face as I have thanks to this little invention. Thank you to that chemist/scientist/product inventor. You’ve done a great thing for so many of us suffering from acne.
This stuff is amazing!
I’ve used many of these patch type things in the past, some of them were good at covering up spots for the day and some even worked well under make up, but most of them did nothing and fell off fairly quickly as they couldn’t withstand any oiliness. This stuff however actually blew me away. I received it yesterday late afternoon and immediately put one on. I’ve been struggling with this one beast of a spot that has been refusing to go for days no matter what I put on it, you know the kind that feels like a golf ball under your skin, read to burst off your forehead any minute yet when you try and squeeze it off it lets out a bit of blood and water and refuses to budge? Well I stuck this on as soon as it arrived, it went down a bit by bedtime, I then did my skincare as normal and put a new one on for the night and today woke up with the spot shrunk to a 10th of its size and almost gone. Sorcery! I’m really impressed with its staying power too, I expected to wake up to it gone rougue in the bed somewhere, but it hasn’t budged. It’s like a tiny blister plaster and barely noticeable when you stick it on, I imagine it would sit well under make up too

Helps protect and heal a little faste
I suffer from rosacea and the cystic spots on my chin were sore and driving me crazy so i thought id give these a try. I am pleased i did. Although they are not miracle workers they make spots less sore and less noticeable to the eye. They do also seem to help the healing process. The dots are sheer and quite invisible to the eye, altho can be a little more noticeable on certain areas of the face. Having said that i dont feel they are any worse than having a large red spot showing. You can also hide them with a little makeup. I will be ourchasing again.

Almost gets rid of spots overnigh
This is a must have product in my collection at all times. Whenever i have a breakout or it’s just one of those times when my skin isn’t being my best friend, I usually just whip a few of these out and place them on top of the spot (especially if I may have ‘accidentally’ popped it) it’ll flatten, decrease the appearance and reduce any pain. You also get the added addition of seeing all of the gunk that comes out and makes you feel like it really worked. Many people say that they use it to cover spots, I’m not the biggest fan of using it for that, usually i just pop them on overnight and let them do their magic. They’re also wonderful for those under skin spots and helps to bring them out and then gets rid of them. A super helpful little nifty thing to have in stock all the time.

Works for stubborn black heads!
I thought I got a new mole on my chest. I picked at it many times trying to pick it out to no avail. Then I used this for two days replacing it each day. And when I squeezed it the biggest dirty big black head popped out. It wasn’t a mole, it was the most stubborn black head! Spots, zits and black heads are a disgusting affliction. I’m glad I’ve finally found an effective treatment.
The jury is still out for weather it’ll treat my back acne. But I’m hopeful.
I ordered with with a similar product. The dots in this are very few while the other product has many more dots. So I’ll give the other product a chance before ordering this again.

Protect from irritatio
I’ve been using these to protect the mascne I’ve been developin. The stop the spot from getting more irritated by continuously wearing masks over them. These work great. I can’t wear makeup from wearing masks but when I do take my mask off to eat at work I think it takes some of the redness away. Haven’t had mega results like when I use a salicylic acid gel on them, but it protects them from getting worse while I’m at work and I treat them with a gel at home.
Speeds up healing time for under skin spots
Really impressed with these after just one use. I’ve been waging war on a set of stubborn/angry under the skin spots around my mouth. They’ve been slowly trying to come to a head but I want them clear for Christmas so wanted to speed up the process. Wore these overnight and am really impressed by how much they have reduced the spots already. One is practically gone. The others are either visually smaller/less angry looking, or have come to a head. When you remove the dots you can actually see the residue from the acne that it’s drawn out (gross sorry, but true!). I’m thinking another night or two with these will clear my spots up and my skin will be clear in time for crimbo! Fab!

Buy these!
These are absolutely amazing! Disgustingly fascinating taking the dots off in the morning and seeing your spots have gone down and it’s all in the dot! I was sceptical these would work, but they are brilliant. I had a large cyst appear on my chin that wasn’t shifting, I put a couple of these dots over it and changed them everytime they were full and before bed and they have taken it down considerably within a day and a half! Very happy!
Good
I’ve developed maskne so though I’d give these a try
they’re thin and relatively invisible although I’ve yet to peel one off without creasing an edge which gives it away a little bit
they stick quite well and won’t fall off during the night but equally don’t peel off like a plaster so they don’t hurt when you do take them off
I haven’t noticed a lot off difference in spots that have yet to come to head, I suspect they’re better for drawing out pus in spots that have already started to appea
