Great post! Do you have any idea what the ingredient “Tetrakis Methane” in Cosrx Acne Patches is supposed to do and if it is safe? I have not managed to find much about it and the brand did not respond to my inquiry. Thanks!

In reply to Vanessa. wow almost a year later but i found applying the hydrocolloidal bandage to an already popped pimple made it go down in like 2 days compared to what usually would be 2 weeks for me. I tried it on a non popped pimple and it didn't do much.

That’s pretty nice. But does this seriously work? Does this help to get rid of acne? Then I would like to try it.

[…] A luxury version of the spot treatment sticker is the ultra sanitary but excessively packaged Sarah Chapman Skinesis Spot Sticker with salicylic acid. I love that they’re so thin and invisible and can be worn out, and the cute handy pouch I will use until the end of time, but they’re ridiculously expensive (25 euros for 16 stickers), and after extensive testing I must say Nexcare’s hydrocolloid stickers are by far the most effective (see icky yet impressive picture of what they absorb as proof). Note: best used on raised or open pimples. A well-written explanation on how these puppies work can be found on the LabMuffin Blog. […]

Hi there can I apply a hydrocolloid bandage to a pimple I’ve already popped? Like if blood is visible?

I’ve tried googling this but all I get is results for hydrocolloid dressings for wound care. I guess technically a popped pimple is an open wound, but I still feel like putting anything over a popped pimple that is trying to form a scab is a bad idea.
