AVARELLE Acne Patches XL, FSA HSA Acne Cover Patch Large | Pimple Patches for Face Cheek & Nose (8 Count) | Large Hydrocolloid Acne Treatment with Tea Tree, Calendula, & Cica

They fit really well, and they do the job they are supposed to do. They are big enough that you can cut them in half to fit where you need them to fit.

I love the fact that you can cut this to whatever size you want (so you only use what you need) and in that sense I feel like I get "more" compared to the pre-cut circles with other packages/brands.There's a TON of different brands on the market now but I've used this for a few years and haven't had any issues so I haven't even bothered trying the other ones. I do not have sensitive skin and I would say runs more on the oily side throughout the year. I've never had issues with it not sticking well unless I'm sweating. I only use these on areas of my face where I'm trying to get the gunk out of a pimple. For me though, it can't be a newly forming pimple because it won't work.Leave it on the spot overnight (or even during the day for about 2 hours) and you'll see it do it's magic! I would keep using a new patch on the same spot until it comes off clear. It's so satisfying taking the patch off and seeing the white spot (the "gunk")! Highly recommended!

I bought this patches to use as a layer of protection between my face and the mask I have to wear at work for +12 hrs. I was getting too many breakouts due to mask wearing and this patches have helped decrease the amount of maskne I get. I cut the square shape of each patch into two rectangles and apply each to my cheeks on the area where I'm more prone to getting cystic acne. The breakouts have not been prevented a 100% but have definitely been reduced. I've only got small pimples and no cystic breakouts because I'm still using Differin. I've recently started cutting each square patch into 4 long pieces and applying one along my chin to prevent chin maskne and it has helped as well. Before these patches I had tried tegaderm and duoderm but they both actually made me break out and were so hard to remove that my skin was very irritated after removal. The biggest downside is that at $8 is pretty much a dollar per patch and that money adds up. That's why I only use them for work. Wish the store had a package deal. They're still the most affordable ones I've found so far tho. The other problem is that the patch molds a little with facial expressions and wrinkles a little which makes your face have some marks after removal as if you slept on your face. Makes me think with prolonged use, as in years of use, I'll get wrinkles. But if I keep the patch not to close to my mouth the wrinkling is less. I'm aware the patches are made for occasional use but I'm reviewing how they work for what I'm actually using them.

Update: as you can see in the photo the bigger patch is Avarelle and maybe I’m just terrible at applying it or maybe it’s the area I applied it but it did get wrinkly. It looks like it didn’t do much but it’s cause the whole patch sucked out the oils and some dead skin so you can’t see a huge difference. But overall the area where I had the patch on feels a lot smoother and cleaner.TLDR: Bigger and thinner than mighty patch, just as effective. For half the price!!! Great at drawing out sebum and oil. Recommend if mighty patch is out of your budget!For context, I’m currently a 20 year old college student and my acne has been through many ups and downs and unfortunately this time was a down. For the past couple of weeks I have actually been eyeing this product as well as the mighty patch. So I decided to order them both to try and see how they compare as one is twice as expensive as the other. The mighty patch consists of 10 patches for 17.99, while the Avarelle patch has 8 patches for half the price(8.50). In terms of size, I was pleasantly surprised with how big it was, the Avarelle patch covers a larger surface area and is in the shape of a square. The mighty patch is more rectangular and I would say half the size of the Avarelle patches. In terms of flexibility and thickness the Avarelle is slightly thinner and has the slightest bit more stretch than the mighty patch. Both stick on through out the night very well and didn’t budge even through my toss and turns. I would say that when putting on the Avarelle patch you might have to be slightly careful with where you apply it because I applied it between my jaw and neck area and it did wrinkle a bit and when I removed it, it did leave a slight mark from the patch. (THEN AGAIN, it might have just been the way I applied it and unfortunately I forgot to take pictures. But I will be posting an update when I use it again!) Now the real question is, were they effective? If you look at other reviews and pictures you will see that the patches extracted lots of sebum and oil. And that is true for both! (AGAIN WILL BE POSTING PICTURES WHEN THE NEXT TIME I USE!) Both acted the same, and I wouldn’t necessarily say they were uncomfortable but you can definitely feel the patch there. (So maybe for those with sensitive skin, be careful when taking off the patch) All in all, I would say they are both equally as effective, BUT Avarelle patches are bigger and cover more surface area than the mighty patch. It’s also slightly thinner and flexible than the other. AND IT WORKS JUST AS WELL FOR HALF THE PRICE! If you need a quick patch that works in removing oils and have an area with pimples that’s ready to pop, this is the product for you!

After applying them over large spot bumps it was gone and you could see yucky inside to catch yucky when popping so it doesn't contaminate everything in the room just totally disgust me to see people popping out and it's spooling all over the place so this actually can change the yucky bacteria that is oozing out or spraying out whichever case is I will definitely keep because I am notorious for getting bumps on my bottom that can turn in to boils or infection so when one comes up I don't have to go through the pain popping it out and then having to disinfect everything in the bathroom no I just put a patch on wait until morning and he's a little to make sure everything's out and then pull off no pain and no more bump or boil or that or whatever you want to call the white pussy stuff coming out I will definitely continue to buy and if you don't need this large of a size they do cut just have to have a very sharp knife and pay attention to what you're doing.
