Rael Hydrocolloid Pimple Healing Patch Reviews Summary

Visibility & Comfort

Pros:

• "So thin you can apply under your make-up and unless you look very very closely they are nearly invisible!"
• "These are also really thin so I would wear them to work."
• "Once you’re wearing them you can’t feel it on your face and you can barely even see it."
• "They're not super noticeable and if you're staying home or wearing a mask no reason not to use one."
• "I really like that these Patches are invisible, so you can barely tell that they are there."
• "They are seriously virtually undetectable!"
• "They blend well with the skin since they're clearish."

Cons:

• "the patch is really invisible and hard to detect, but it does not do a good job at getting all the gunk out of pimples."
• "The patches are visible on skin, but not something I was looking for anyway."
• "So it isn't 'invisible' on my face."
• "It isn't 'invisible.' The way you have to peel it off the page messes up the ends of it, so it's very noticeable on your face."
• "They’re not so “invisible “, so definitely recommend putting them at night and removing in the morning."
• "These wouldn't be so bad if they were more concealed. They are highly obvious."
• "Sometimes they can be more on the invisible side, but they tend to come up with high humidity!"

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "These work, don’t pop your pimples, that’ll just make it worse, just spend a couple bucks get some patches and be patient enough to wear them for a few hours, preferably overnight."
• "They stick well and miraculously pull out the moisture out of the blemish."
• "Works like a charm to flatten pimples!"
• "They stick on all day and best of all they get the gunk out and leave my problem area flat."
• "This patch soaks up all the nasty that would come out from a whitehead, once you’ve noticed your patch is changing color you can remove and just replace."
• "They cleared up spots in less than a day, erased period acne, and even helped with closed pimples."
• "These little stickers actually really work, even on un-popped painful cystic acne."

Cons:

• "There was another brand that I used and it worked better than this one."
• "However it left a hole or a crater looking thing on my face."
• "The patches also don't appear to draw out as much as others I have tried."
• "It so hard to justify with so many cheaper options."
• "They don’t create the results I get from other brands."
• "I saw absolutely no difference after using them overnight."
• "They are flimsy and fall off much more often, they do not work as effectively."

Sensitivity & Skin Reaction

Pros:

• "And I have sensitive skin these work awesome!"
• "I have very sensitive skin and these don't cause any irritation."
• "They also do not bother my sensitive skin at all and neither does the adhesive."
• "I have super sensitive skin, and these are basically a God send for me."
• "Great for sensitive skin. I break out over normal bandaids and these have given me no issues."
• "They are the only ones that adhere to my face even on top of facial products."
• "They stick to my face very well yet are easy to remove."

Cons:

• "The adhesive is SO strong on these, that they frequently pull off the top layer of skin."
• "I did not like this product at all. It left a ring of raised skin after I removed it yesterday afternoon and it is still raised today."
• "TAKE CAUTION if you use retinol. Sometimes the strength of the sticky can pull that outermost layer of skin prematurely."
• "Okay so first off didn’t actually make anything better. Created more inflammation and left my skin scarred."
• "Any hair and the rest of my skin. I have a red flaky mess around any pimple I try this on, including my back and neck."
• "After it healed, it left dark spots so now I have to use dark spot treatment."
• "For that same reason I would not trust it wouldn’t irritate sensitive skin It’s whole purpose is to dry out."

Adhesion & Material Quality

Pros:

• "They adhere to your skin well and don’t hurt when you pull them off."
• "The adhesion is great -- like others have said, I've showered with these on and worn them overnight with no issue."
• "Each patch is super easy to remove from the packaging, and adheres to the skin flawlessly."
• "These actually become very sticky when applied to dry, clean skin & do not come off."
• "They don’t come off on my pillow or slide around."
• "They always stay on until I peel them off."
• "They are invisible on your skin having just the right amount of adhesive so they don’t come off or slip."

Cons:

• "These patches are not sticky. After just a few minutes, they start to peel and fall off of my face."
• "I chose this because I had some I bought awhile back... This batch though with the new darker package contain thicker and poor material. It falls off easily. Won’t reorder in the future."
• "Both of my teenage boys have problems getting them to stick to their faces."
• "When it came time to remove the patches, they were so sticky it was actually a bit uncomfortable to remove."
• "These patches are INCREDIBLY sticky... to the point that they hurt to pull off."
• "These are hard to peel off the sheet so when you put them on the pimple they’re already peeling off and do not look flush."
• "My only complaint is that they are hard to peel off in one single piece without bending where you grabbed it."
