This pimple patch is excellent for inflamed cystic acne when they have a white head. When I put it on overnight, it draws out the pus and impurities. When I wake up in the morning, the white head is gone and the inflamation shrinks. It also prevents me from popping the acne and causing more damage. Only downside was that I was accidentally sent one patch instead of 10, but jolse refunded me $22 for the remaining balance.
