Pimple Patches

So I love using pimple patches. Really any brand is good, hydrocolloid patches or micro needle seem to work best. But I was wondering is there a possibility of over using them? I basically put one on as soon as I see a significant pimple, day or night time. Then if it doesn’t go away I’ll keep doing that daily. It usually only takes 2 days but with hormonal acne it’s a week. Does acne need to breath is essentially my question Thanks!

I do adore pimple patches as well. If the pimple is at the surface it also only takes bout a day or 2 and it'll be gone. For blind pimples on the other hand, I don't like using pimple patches. It feels like it's swelling some more whenever i have a pimple patch on. I prefer some leave on acne treatments. Regarding your question, does acne need to breathe? - Well breathe, basically means not clogging the pores or non comedogenic. With the puss already plug in there, I don't think putting on pimple patches will make much of a difference, pimple patches even help "un clog " the pores ( for pimples that's about to pop ). - But for blind pimples, i do prefer letting it take it's course since pimple patches will do nothing for it.

Thanks! Maybe the patches don’t we work for my hormonal acne until it comes to a head. it seems I’ve been doing it backwards bc I didn’t understand my acne

so do you use pimple patches full time till it’s gone? pimple patches are really effective because they prevent you to pick or touch a pimple. but they only work when pimple has a head and ready to pop. Then it allows them to extract all the gunk out of them and heal. if you don’t have a picking problem, I would suggest you tu use pimple in later stages. but the micro needle one can be used from start but I don’t think pimple patches can harm your skin

I usually put it on one if it’s huge or if it’s come to a head then keep using it until it reduces. I haven’t had micro needle ones in awhile but I usually use those in the beginning and it really helps it come to a head

Pimple patches for me are incredibly useful for not picking at my acne and creating a scar that will last months! yeck. I probably use 2-4 per pimple. Maybe more depending on how big the pimple is. I will try to remove at night so it can oxygenate but I haven’t seen a difference whether I keep it on or remove. That’s just personal experience though!
