These patches are really thin and adhere to the skin really well, even the bigger sizes are quite discreet and they can been worn underneath make-up without being too visible. If you suffer from cystic acne or multiple breakouts in one area these are great to use as they cover the area in one patch. They will also help with healing and reduce scaring after just 2 days of using them over a badly popped pimple it was barely noticeable and without would have taken much longer to heal and left a noticeable scar so I really recommend it for those suffering from larger more painful breakouts, I'll definitely be re-purchasing this patches in the future.
