This way, you don't end up with just small ones at the end. The sizes are 10mm for small and 12mm for large, which is similar to Olive Young's Care Plus patches in both size and shape. I found the small patches perfect for minor blemishes without discharge, while the larger ones worked well for inflamed acne or spots with blood or pus. The center of each patch is thicker than the edges, which seemed to improve absorption of fluids. These patches strike a nice balance - they're not so thin that they only provide cover without absorbing, but they're also not overly noticeable when applied. Although marketed as matte, they did seem less shiny than other brands. While still visible in bright light on the forehead, they were quite discreet on the chin area and had excellent adhesion. As the patch absorbs, the center turns white, making it more noticeable over time. However, on spots without discharge, they remained fairly inconspicuous. I also appreciated the individual packaging with expiration dates on each, eliminating the need to keep them in the original box.
ConsDespite containing ingredients beneficial for blemishes like Houttuynia Cordata, tea tree, Centella Asiatica, and salicylic acid, I'm not sure if they actually speed up healing. They do seem to protect the area and absorb fluids, potentially reducing scarring. One downside: due to their strong adhesion, removing them from areas with fine hairs like the forehead or eyebrows can be a bit painful as it may pull out some hairs.
