ZitSticka Extra Strength Killa Acne Microdart Patches for Face - OTC Acne Treatment with 2% Salicylic Acid - Fast Acting Microdarts for Deep, Early-Stage Zits & Blemish - 20 Count

As someone who has tried quite a few different brands of pimple patches (ZitSticka, Mighty Patch, COSRX, Daolyo, BIORICA, Avarelle, GRAMRIGHT, etc.), I can say with complete confidence that their body patches 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 Hydrocolloid Patches for Body Zits (~$18 for 9 square patches) #1.2: ZitSticka Goo Getter Pimple Patches (~$16 for 36 patches) (UPDATE 1/2026): I believe they've changed the formula for their pimple patches. The last time I purchased them, the packaging was hot pink instead of the original white and pastel pink. I did NOT like the hot pink ones. Bummer. I recommend you purchase their BODY PATCHES. This brand also sells large, square patches for your body. Those still come in the original white and pastel pink packaging, and I actually think they work even better than the smaller round ones, so I just cut those into smaller squares and use them on my face. I've stopped using the ones in the hot pink packaging altogether. They contain Tea Tree Oil and Salicylic Acid like most other pimple patches, but they ALSO contain Vitamin C and Niacinamide, which are great for hyperpigmentation. (OLD REVIEW): 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. UPDATE (1/2026): New #2: ROSELYNBOUTIQUE Pimple Patches Effective Blemish Control (~$13 for 300 patches) I was quite impressed by these, to be honest. I didn't expect them to work, but they actually hold their own in comparison to more expensive brands. They work a tiny bit slower (which I expected), but they've helped flatten quite a few of my pimples. I use ZitSticka for the really problematic pimples, and these for the pimples that aren't AS bad but still need to be drained. They're thin and discreet, but they do have a herbal-y scent, so just keep that in mind. Unfortunately, this brand's patches sometimes sell out, so make sure to have a backup brand. They contain Tea Tree Oil, Salicylic Acid, and Cica. Did I mention there's 300 of them though? UPDATE (1/2026): #3: Daolyo Pimple Patches (~$10 (~$7 on sale) for 300 patches) These are basically the same as the ROSELYNBOUTIQUE ones—just a tiny bit cheaper and a tiny bit worse. I prefer ROSELYNBOUTIQUE, but those are sometimes sold out, and these are oftentimes on sale, so I buy these just so I'll have a huge stash. These are also on the thinner side, so they're discreet, but they DO sometimes fall off in my sleep (especially the ones I put on my chin) and also have a faint herbal-y scent. They contain Tea Tree Oil, Salicylic Acid and Calendula Oil. #4: BIORICA (~$10 for 216 patches) UPDATE (1/2026): I tried these patches for a couple months, but they weren't really doing it for me, so I've since found some cheaper alternatives (see above). These are worth a try if you have sensitive skin, as they don't contain any Salicylic Acid or Calendula Oil. Unfortunately, IMO, they're not as effective as other brands. They loosen up and fall off once they absorb a lot of moisture (granted, I do cut them into smaller pieces, so that might be on me), and they turn into a sticky mess if I leave them on too long. Still, everyone's skin is different, so they're definitely worth a try. They come with a pimple popper tool, and their packaging is by far THE CUTEST, so I'll miss that the most. They also only contain Tea Tree Oil, as far as I could tell. #5: Avarelle (~$15 for 80 patches; ~$8 for 40 patches) These are probably the thinnest ones I've ever used. If you want a practically-invisible patch, you should try these. The adhesive is pretty average, so they're not the best but they're also not the worst. They come in a variety of 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. They're not worth the $15 IMO though, so I've now found some cheaper alternatives. They contain Tea Tree Oil, Calendula Oil and Cica. #6: Mighty Patch (~$13 for 36 patches) These work very well and have a decent hold, but they're also kind of expensive for the amount of patches that they give you, so for just a few more dollars, I'd rather buy the ZitSticka ones since they work A LOT better for me, and for a better price, I'd rather get the ROSELYNBOUTIQUE/Daolyo ones, since they come with 300 instead of 36. Case in point, I don't really use these anymore, but they're a good option. Also, the only ingredient I could find was Hydrocolloid. #7: GRAMRIGHT (I don't even remember) #8: 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 the last batch I purchased left awful, red burn-like marks. I don't know if they've since fixed their formula, but it took me a very long time to heal my literal WOUNDS, so I would never use these again. 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 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. I hope this has been helpful :)

Loved these! Saw result after first use, they helped dry out my breakouts overnight and reduced redness. Simple, effective, and def worth it!

I was a little skeptical at first because I’ve tried so many pimple patches that just sat on my skin and didn’t do much. But these actually work — and fast. The microdarts are the real game changer. You can feel a slight tingle when you first put it on, which I personally take as a good sign that it's doing something. I use them on those painful, under-the-skin zits that you can feel brewing before they even surface. I pop one of these on at night and by morning the bump is either completely gone or significantly reduced. It doesn’t dry out my skin either, probably thanks to the hyaluronic acid. They stay on really well through the night and don’t peel off like other patches I’ve tried. The price is a little high for only 20 patches, but honestly, I don't need to use them constantly. I save them for those annoying emergencies — the big, angry pimples that show up at the worst times — and they’ve never let me down. If you deal with those deep, hormonal breakouts or stubborn early-stage pimples, these are worth trying.

Overview: I get one giant cystic pimple every year/couple of years, and usually I would try to pop it for several weeks, but then realize it's destroying my skin, and eventually go to the dermatologist for a cortisone shot if I needed to go anywhere. A cortisone shot is around $40 where I live, but the hassle of making an appointment/going to the doctor's office was very off-putting for me. Sometimes I cannot get an appointment for several weeks, which renders the shot useless at that point. I decided to try this because the advertising seemed promising, and the technology seems unique. I had hopes that my pimple (already been developing for 2 weeks) would come to a head at the surface after 1-2 uses--which is what the advertising sort of suggests. Unfortunately, my pimple never came to a head, but the swelling reduced significantly after 3 uses. After the 4th use, it's become pretty flat and manageable, and I'm really glad I didn't pop the pimple. So overall, within a week, my giant nodule has become just a tiny blemish. However: That would all be fine except, this box costs almost the same price as a cortisone shot, which delivers immediate and much more effective results. My pimple, after using 5 sets of these stickers (cleanser+sticker) is still there and has not come to a head even though it is much smaller and ignorable. One box only contains 8 stickers, so basically this whole box, and a week of time was dedicated to fighting this one pimple. If given the choice between a cortisone shot and this sticker, I would 100% pick the cortisone shot. Final thoughts: Even though the stickers have their drawbacks, I believe these are the ONLY stickers on the market that actually work for the types of pimples I would put a sticker on for. If you're the type of person who struggles with constant cystic acne...this is probably not the best option for you, but for those who just once in a while gets a horrible cystic blind pimple and needs it to go away, this is the ONLY sticker that I've tried that actually works. None of the other surface stickers do anything to address these blind pimples. Additionally, the Company;'s advertising suggests that the most effective time to use these stickers is in the early stages of the pimple's development. I used this product kind of late in the timeline. I plan to buy another box to keep on hand and to slap on at the first moment of my next blind pimple. I believe then the sticker would achieve its full potential. Overall, happy with the product, would buy again, but definitely not as effective as a cortisone shot which costs around the same price.

I literally live by these and have been for years. I get deep cystic, acne, especially around my jawline. Nothing helps them go down more than this. Half of the time they don’t even end up coming to a head and they just go away on their own after a couple nights of using this. This is honestly a miracle product for me.

I thought you would get more in a pack honestly, it did work OK I guess but again for like $15 I don’t know if I’d only want four patches. I think I’d be going with a different brand that has you know more for your money.

Get cystic pimples and these are the only thing that work. The micro darts penetrate under my skin to help it heal faster. They also protect me from touching my skin which is good to too so I do not pop it and get a scar. The are expensive but worth it.

It's unfortunate that these patches are so expensive because they work so well. I purchased other microdart patches and they do not work at all. The combination of the wipes and the patches are amazing. It's easy to use, the patches stay on overnight and my zits are pretty much dead by the morning. I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and these patches do not irritate my skin.

Does wonders!

These are just the best. Massive spot patches you can cut to size and they're nice and sturdy so no problems with them filling up too quickly and/or peeling off during the day or disappearing into the bedsheets at night. Not ideal under makeup as they are very thick but if you use them often enough on at-home days or overnight, you'll have way fewer concerns like that. Other patches I've tried either only work overnight or are so thin and flimsy they fill up almost immediately. These ones you can wear for hours or overnight for really troublesome spots or cysts, but you can also just pop them over a spot and sometime get the desired result in half an hour. They have really great absorbing qualities, I've also used them for odd stuff like a low level infection near a fingernail or on a mosquito bite that won't calm down.

Was very hopeful for these as they claim to be able to ‘kill’ an emerging zit.. unfortunately the claims are not true. I used 2 patches—the recommended amount for ‘harder to kill zits.’ 1 overnight, and 1 for 5ish hours while working from home. The new blind pimple that I could feel starting to form beneath my skin is still emerging. I’m going to try using a third patch (so basically 3/4 of the box) but I don’t have high hopes anymore. Might just be good for regular zits, not blind ones. Definitely better ones out there though for a fraction of the price if that’s the case.

Enough said :(

I’ve been using the ZitSticka KILLA Extra Strength patches for a few weeks now and they’ve honestly made a real difference in how I manage breakouts. These patches are easy to apply and actually work. Right away I noticed how firm they feel. They stick really well and don’t slide around, even when I’ve slept or worn makeup over them. The medical grade adhesive stays put and I never worry about them peeling off during the day. When I get a spot that’s angry or painful, I put a patch on overnight and by morning it’s noticeably calmer and smaller. The extra strength formula seems to get right to the core of the blemish. I’ve had stubborn pimples shrink much faster than I expected and those painful red ones are way less inflamed. I like that they’re pretty discreet too. You can barely see them on the skin, which means I can wear them during the day without feeling self conscious. Overall these feel like a higher quality version of traditional pimple patches and they actually deliver results. They’re not cheap but for the relief and faster healing I’ve gotten, they’re worth it. I’d recommend them to anyone dealing with occasional breakouts or painful spots.
