The 5 Most Discreet + Effective Acne Patches We’ve Actually Tried

Pimples have a way of popping up at the most inconvenient times, but a new trend in beauty is offering a solution for when we need to wipe out a breakout stat. We’ve personally tested each of these clean acne patches and are obsessed with how effective and how discreet they are!

Did you have a sweaty workout class and forgot to wash your face after? Or are you about to start your period and your hormones have gone haywire? Maybe you’re just stressed out and your skin is showing it? Whatever triggered your breakout, acne patches are a clever new way to quickly reduce redness, calm inflammation, and infuse your skin with active ingredients to help heal and, of course, conceal the bump in the process.

A bonus benefit of these patches is that they prevent scarring by thwarting the temptation to pick at your skin — an urge many of us have when we’ve got an unwelcomed spot on our face. Simply cover that sucker up, let the patches work their magic and walk around with the confidence your pimple has no right to interfere with…
 
rael Acne PatchesRael Microneedling Patch | These powerful little dots are perfect for everyday use. They are also the most invisible of the bunch. One of our editors even wore one on a date because they are so surprisingly discreet! They’re made with high-grade, absorbent hydrocolloid which extracts impurities and provides a protective barrier that guards skin from bacteria. Leave these patches on for a few hours and your blemish will become dramatically less red and inflamed. Use them for a few days in a row and that spot will disappear like it was never there to begin with. CHECK OUT
