What do pimple patches do exactly?

Pimple patches protect pimples from dirt and bacteria and can help draw out excess moisture from a pimple. This can reduce swelling and make you less likely to touch your skin.

Can you wear pimple patches during the day?

Yes, definitely. Especially colored pimple patches are meant to be worn visibly and can become part of your look.

When does a pimple patch work best?

A pimple patch works best on a pimple that is already more developed and contains moisture. The effect is usually smaller on under-the-skin pimples.

Are colored pimple patches just as effective as clear ones?

That depends on the ingredients and the material. Many colored patches work, just like transparent variants, with hydrocolloid and therefore have the same protective function.

Which colored pimple patches are popular?

Among others, Rhode, Biovene, Peggy Sage, and Merci Handy have pimple patches in striking shapes and colors, such as stars, flowers, and light pink variants.

Do you, like me, not wake up once in a blue moon, but daily with new pimples? Then you probably want to hide those things. You can use mountains of skincare, but they never really go away immediately. Especially when those things are red and about to burst, we understand if you prefer to go out like an undercover celeb with a cap and sunglasses. But what if I tell you that this hassle is over? Because there is a new solution: pimple patches. Not the transparent, but rather colored, cute patches with which you can decorate your face and cover acne. And before you start protesting, you should know that this trend has been approved by the biggest stars, like Hailey Bieber herself. Save this, because these are the cutest pimple patches to go out the door with.

First of all: why pimple patches are the absolute best solution

There are of course hundreds of remedies against pimples. You have the standard serums with niacinamide, ampoules with tea tree oil or salicylic acid, and toners with rice or all sorts of other ingredients. You could have your entire bathroom filled with those products, but if you sleep on a dirty pillow with those open wounds (because that’s actually acne), then it’s still a bad situation. This way, all sorts of bacteria can still sit directly in those pimples and then your €50 toner won’t help at all. You will have to protect those things, and that’s exactly what pimple patches were designed for.

They are also called pimple stickers or patches, because that’s what they do: protect your acne from the outside world. It prevents you from scratching, it draws out excess moisture and pus from a ‘ripe’ pimple, reducing swelling and caring for your skin. Such a patch is just a little extra that ensures your pimple leaves faster than an unserious man when you say “I love you.”.

Those colorful patches are super stylish

If Hailey Bieber says something is in, then it is. Although you’ve seen influencers wearing pimple patches in fun shapes before, it’s really booming now because of Hailey. Not only because she released them for Rhode, but because she shows that you can just go outside with colorful stickers on your face. It may seem childish at first, but Hailey shows that you can do this stylishly. Especially if you match the patches with your outfit.

We think these are the cutest pimple patches at the moment

1. Rhode Spotwear (€21 for 1 sheet with 12 patches)

Of course, we can’t start this list any other way than with the pimple patches from Rhode. These 100 percent hydrocolloid stickers should calm your acne and reduce swelling. The colored ones are designed by Justin himself. You have them in the shape of a flower, a bubble, a mushroom, a ‘curve’ or a jellybean.

2. Biovene star pimple patches (€4.95 for 32 patches & box with mirror)

These are actually the OG colored patches. Before Hailey got involved, every influencer was walking around with yellow stars on their face. These specific ones actually do the same as those from Rhode. They are hydrocolloid patches with salicylic acid, and with that mirror, you can easily take them on the go and apply them when needed. Do you prefer them in another color? Then you can also get them in pink, light blue, multicolors, pastel shades, brown tones, purple, or even black.
