Even though my skin got better when I started watching my diet (keeping sugar to a minimum, drinking enough water and at least one cup of peppermint tea a day etc.), I still do get breakouts which vary from small whiteheads to those painful ones under the skin which you can almost never pop... The problem was - even when popping them properly, they would take a few days to heal completely (swelling, redness etc.). With the COSRX patches I found my solution. Upon arriving I tried it on two sorts of pimples on my face - one popped smaller whitehead and one that was already healing for days but the swelling just wouldn't go down completely. I washed my face and put them on during the day and then washed my face and changed them before going to sleep - I even put on my moisturizer AFTER applying the patches (just a bit more carefully around the patches). I'm amazed to say the least... You can actually see the spot on the patch, where it sucked out the rest of the bad stuff. It doesn't sting and the whole process is extremely skin friendly (I have sensitive skin, so it reacts to almost everything). I think they will last two to three months in my case. But I will repurchase them definitely!
