Ended up buying this to cover my pimples to keep me from picking or touching at breakouts. Great to wait to protect and heal blemishes, not meant for deep cystic acne (won't do much for it). Lays very flat to skin surface and kind of hard to tell it's there really. Only start to notice once it pulls the gunk from the wound (look up hydrocollide, which is what they would use to dress wounds in the military).
