Any Pimple patch suggestions?

[CHLAEMMA]

I get a lot of hormonal acne what would you say is the best pimple patch? (My skin is also still young so preferably something without retinal?)

@CHLAEMMA these are my favorite. I sometimes get lucky and find them at Marshalls but you can order them online. I like them because they don't have salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or mineral oil.

@CHLAEMMA  I wouldn’t say any are “the best” in general because that depends so much on personal preference. Pimple patches can be clear, semi-clear, or brightly colored (there are some really cute colorful patches on the market nowadays). Some brands offer different sizes and shapes. But all pimple patches are made mostly of the same ingredient: hydrocolloid. So, they’ll all help prevent you from picking at acne bumps and reduce the urge to pop a pimple. For ruptured pimples, all patches will draw gunk out and help flatten the bump, and protect that skin from environmental cooties. 

I’ve tried several pimple patches and some stick better to my skin than others. The Hero Mighty Patches are good. So are COSRX’s patches: their Acne Pimple Master Patch is what you’ll probably find at Ulta (if you’re in the US) and they work well, but my personal fave is their AC Collection Acne Patches that contain centella asiatica (a soothing ingredient my skin loves). Peace Out Salicylic Acid Acne Healing Dots are also good, as long as you’re not allergic to aspirin. (Salicylic acid is related to aspirin.) 

You can also ask your parent/legal guardian to take you to a dermatologist or primary care doctor for more acne treatment suggestions, if you haven’t already.
