Pimple patches are everywhere—from TikTok routines to drugstore shelves. But like many of you, I wondered: Do pimple patches actually work? Or is it all hype?
After testing Ammpoure’s 72-patch kit, I got my answer—and it completely changed the way I treat breakouts.
The Problem With Traditional Acne Treatments
Creams sting. Spot gels dry out your skin. Popping pimples leaves scars.
If you're someone with cystic acne or deep, under-the-skin bumps, you know how frustrating it is to wait for inflammation to calm down. That's why hydrocolloid patches like these have gained popularity—they offer gentle, non-irritating relief while speeding up healing.
What Exactly Are Pimple Patches?
Pimple patches are small, round, often transparent stickers made from hydrocolloid—a moisture-absorbing material used in wound care. When placed over a pimple:
-
They draw out pus, oil, and fluid
-
Reduce redness and swelling
-
Create a barrier to block bacteria
-
Help avoid touching or picking the pimple
-
Speed up recovery without drying your skin

Do They Really Work?
Yes—and here's how I tested them:
Step 1: I waited for a deep pimple to form (thank you, hormones).
Step 2: I cleansed, dried, and applied one patch directly over the pimple.
Step 3: I left it on overnight (around 8 hours).
Step 4: In the morning, the patch had turned cloudy—a clear sign it pulled out fluid.
After peeling it off, the redness had reduced significantly, and by day 2, the bump had flattened without bursting.
FAQs People Are Googling (and Honest Answers)

❓ Can I wear it with makeup?
Yes! Ammpoure’s thin design lets you wear it under foundation without it being visible.
