Care ScienceFast Healing Hydrocolloid Gel Bandages for Heels, 1.3 in x 2.1 in, 16 Count

Had a sore on the top of my toe that keep getting opened up because it was rubbed on all the time. Wore these bandages for 2 weeks and it was healed.

Had a blister on my finger and it kept rubbing against my other fingers. Wow this product is awesome, it healing padded cushioned product did the trick. Will be buying more for my first aid box.

Tried many different brands due to trying to save a few bucks, but still come back to these.They adhere the best, last the longest before having to replace and don't cause me any skin irritations.They are not huge, but not small either, they are a great in the middle size.They also blend in very well with my light skin tone. So they don't tend to be too noticeable.

I am used to Hydrocolloid bandages as I have been using them exclusively for a few years now. I feel this type of bandage provides better wound healing for someone with diabetes which naturally comes with slower wound healing.I purchased these Care Science Hydrocolloid bandages for the finger shaped ones (curved) as the name brand no longer makes that shape for some reason. These do seem to work generally fine but the quality control is lacking and the removal of the backing is not ideal.Every one of these that I have used has the Hydrocolloid Gel sticking to the sterile plastic packaging; this leaves an unfinished edge that is sticky. As such it's more likely to stick to your clothes or detach/roll from that edge causing you to need to replace the bandage on your skin. Also to remove the backer paper you really need to give it a quick pull. With the other brand the backer removes with much less force but that also gives you more control to only expose what you need. With those I can expose just the very center of the bandage and therefore position it over the center of my wound, apply that section, press it down to stick well, and then take care of the rest. With the Care Science ones, because you need to pull with a lot of force you are likely to expose more then you initially need and not get as good adhesion.

I get cracked heels on a regular basis and it is painful! I heard about this on Instagram and decided to try it out. I used my first one the other day and my heel feels better already. I will definitely be buying more of this in the future.

We struggle with cracked feet especially in the summer. These have been very helpful in helping those areas to heal and not split worse. One of the best things we have found!

Game changer. I’ve used various versions of this from drugstores that tend to be pricey. Unfortunately this is a must for me as I get easily irritated on my toes from narrow shoes or even the sewing of socks. This has easily lessened the irritation and last for a few days at a time. It’s also not very noticeable when I wear certain sandals I can leave the bandaid on. Will continue to use.

My first experience with hydrocolloid bandages was the Walgreens brand ones, which are really expensive at around a dollar a bandage. I ordered these ones from Amazon when I ran out because they're cheaper. I thought they were the same bandages repackaged in a different box because the plastic cover on them is identical to the Walgreens ones and the size and shape are the same. However, these bandages have a slightly different opacity and texture, and, unfortunately, they're not nearly as waterproof.I could put the Walgreens one on and wear it for three days straight, including washing hands and doing dishes, and it wouldn't start to peel off on its own at all. With these ones, they sometimes peel up at the edges from normal activity, and water gets in them very quickly if you're washing a dish or taking a shower. I end up having to change it a few times a day, which negates the cost savings.This isn't a Walgreens ad, I think those bandages are still super overpriced. It's just that if you need a guaranteed waterproof barrier, such as for a small incision wound like carpal tunnel surgery, then I'd try a different brand than these ones.
