An A+ solution for all skin types, these classic patches pack a lot of punch when it comes to battling breakouts. They're the perfect pre-bedtime pimple antidote, skillfully extracting pores of impurities and expediting healing time to help prevent future breakouts and scarring.

This early-stage treatment is intended to be used at the first sign of breakout, to nip the blemish in the bud. “It feels so comfortable and invisible that I forget I have it on,” says RealSelf head of content Carolyn Hsu. 

If your pimple comes to a head and you really can’t stop the urge to pop it, follow the pro-approved guidelines on how to pop your own pimples safely and hygienically. (An even easier fix: Slap on one of our favorite acne patches before going to bed and wake up with a dramatically diminished zit.)

Ever wish you could just cover all your breakout hot spots with a giant extractor strip? That’s kinda what this is. The XL strip is meant for larger areas like your chest, back, or jawline.

The direct-to-consumer startup world is tight knit, so many of these partnerships are formed through mutual connections between vendors or CEO networking groups. Ami Wellness, for example recently ran a limited promotion in conjunction with other wellness brands Hero Cosmetics and Saalt, where Ami sold “period care” kits featuring all of their products. 

We think these are the most effective pimple patches on the market. These hydrocolloid patches suck out your pimple juices like no other and jumpstart the healing process for hyperpigmentation. This particular pack includes invisible day time patches and overnight patches, too. Great for stubborn cystic acne that you know better than to pop.
