Velvet Thunder –
As someone who has tried quite a few different brands of pimple patches (ZitSticka, Mighty Patch, Avarelle, COSRX, GRAMRIGHT, etc.), I can say with complete confidence that these work the best. I’ll rank all the brands I have tried from best to worst just in case anyone wants to try others.
So far, I would rank them like so:
#1: ZitSticka Goo Getter (~$16 for 36 patches)
These are by far the best, but unfortunately also the most expensive, so I would use them sparingly. And for the love of god, CUT THEM into smaller pieces. It’ll save you a lot of money. Do not place an entire patch on a pimple unless that pimple is huge. You only really need to cover your pore, and pores are tiny. These are pretty thick as well, and the adhesive is quite strong, so they’ll still stick no matter how small they are. Also, I’d only really use these on those angry, painful pimples you fear might leave a scar. These patches have prevented a lot of scars for me, so I wouldn’t waste them on whiteheads or smaller pimples. I’d recommend Avarelle for those.
#2: BIORICA (~$9 for 216 patches (yes, 216!))
If you want A TON of patches for a really cheap price, BIORICA’s got your back. These are on the thinner side, similar to Avarelle (see below), but these beat Avarelle in terms of quantity and pricing (still unsure about the quality since they seem to work equally well), soo I’m gonna stick with these for now. They don’t work as well as ZitSticka, but they’re worth a try. They also absorb moisture pretty quickly so I have to change them out more often, and they sometimes fall off when I’m asleep (a problem I never have with ZitSticka), but there ARE 216 of them, so I can’t complain. Oh and the packaging is really cute too!
#3: Avarelle (~$13 for 80 patches; ~$8 for 40 patches)
These patches are by far the thinnest ones I’ve ever used. If you want a practically-invisible patch, you should try these. I use ZitSticka for the really problematic pimples, and these (or BIORICA) for the pimples that aren’t AS bad but are still infected/still need to be drained. These work a lot slower than ZitSticka, so I would leave them on all night if I were you. The patches also come in different sizes, and some of them are HUGE, so if you cut them into smaller pieces, you’ll get a ton more uses out of them.
#4: Mighty Patch (~$13 for 36 patches)
These also work very well (a bit better than the Avarelle and BIORICA ones, even), but they’re also kind of expensive… For just $3 more, I’d rather buy the ZitSticka ones, since they work A LOT better for me. And for the same price, I’d rather get the Avarelle (or BIORICA) ones, since they come with 80 instead of 36 (or 216!). Case in point, I don’t really use these anymore, but they’re a good option.
#5: GRAMRIGHT (I don’t even remember)
#6: COSRX (~$14 for 96 patches)
COSRX patches used to work really well, and the brand itself is GREAT, but I’m putting them dead last because their recent formula must’ve changed or something. Now they leave red, burn-like marks on your skin. They’re awful and it takes twice as long for the literal WOUND to heal.
That’s it for that!
Additionally, I want to mention that the white stuff you see on the patches is not necessarily “gunk” from your pimple. It’s really just the hydrocolloid reacting to moisture and forming a gel-like substance. Hydrocolloid patches are meant to absorb liquid. Any liquid. That’s why they’re used for blisters as well. This means that you can literally put them under running water and they will all turn white. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the water has “gunk.” Still, they work well, but I think it’s just a common misconception for people to think of the white stuff as pus lol it’s not.
Lastly, I’m not sure if this was just random or if ZitSticka’s sizing has changed, but I ordered this same package months ago and the stickers I received back then (sheet on the left) were bigger than the ones I just received now (sheet on the right). I’m sure you can tell the difference. That’s kind of a bummer… but I’m still giving them 5 stars just because of how great they worked for me.
I hope this has been helpful 🙂

I’ve tried several pimple patches and these are my ultimate favorite. They’re very sheer and are near invisible and I’ve worn them in public many times. It absorbs the gunk pretty well compared to others.

Paid for a box of 36. Received a box of 18 that has a stock label on the back saying it’s a pack of 36. Wouldn’t buy again.
Anon –
Better than cosrx.
They act faster.
I’ll definitely buy more

These are great to put over a problem spot during the day, but I would not suggest makeup on top of it. I like that they are invisible and seem to do the trick with problem spots, but I do not agree that you can wear makeup with this product.

Been using zitsticka since seeing Elizabeth Gillies recommend it a few years ago. Never gone back absolutely brilliant products. But these, the mini dots and the full one masks, by far the best and my forever go tos. To see the gunk coming out from especially my chin is always so satisfying

Love the product, but both times I have ordered this 36ct item, I have received one 18ct boxes …and yet I paid for the 36ct.

Kathryn Lee –
These tiny blemish patches are amazing. 1st I got a tester pkg. A must have. These will always be in my skin care kit.
Velvet Thunder –
Sometimes the pouches have stickers missing or its dried out. But when they are sealed they work
So bleeping well. I’ve just been burned too many times get faulty products. I love em though!

I have rosacea which most of the time is fairly under control with the use of my soolantra prescription cream but a couple of tomes a month and more so in hot weather I get breakouts on my nose. These zit stickers mean that if I feel that familiar tightness where I know I am going to have a breakout, I can put one of these on before I go to bed and when I get up in the morning the breakout is far less aggressive than it would have been without the zit sticker. It doesn’t completely stop the breakout but it means I am still able to cover it with makeup the next day whereas without these stickers there was no chance of hiding it.
