These are a very good affordable option for teens and those with a smaller budget. You can these patches on sale for a very reasonable price and you get 44 patches. I find these are good at absorbing and shrinking whiteheads, but like all pimple patches, they won’t work on any breakouts that are under the skin. They are a bit thicker and more visible on the skin, but for the price, I’m not really complaining and I mostly use them overnight and in the house anyways, so it’s not an issue for me.
