– Second Skin Protection Faster Healing XL Dressings (3 Patches), Hydrocolloid Dressings with Advanced and Flexible Protection and Faster Wound Healing, Ultra-Thin and Waterproof

Nice and flexible. Not discreet on Black people's skin once the patch starts drawing out liquids and turns white which happens quite quickly. But very good, stays in place, helps prevent infection. Guards your skin well if you need to still scratch an icth and is pretty discreet otherwise.

Really do work well ,helps with healing

Brilliant product, I cut my hand quite badly and had to use steristrips, put a bit of gauze over the strips then the 2nd skin plaster over the top. It really is like a 2nd skin, once applied it is totally waterproof and you can get on with things like normal rather than worrying about dressings all the time. My hand took about 10 days to heal and I only had to change this twice. Bought a load more for the 1st aid box.

I use these to cover my weekly HRT patches. The HRT patches are falling off after a couple of days. I cover with the second skin plaster and they last the whole week. Still really stuck on after the 7 days. They leave my dry skin after removal. So I always moisturise the area well afterwards.

Couldnt find these for love nor money after slicing a lump of skin off. Lot better than a plaster.

These really work

This is a review of the Elastoplast Second Skin Protection Dressings. From the description, it is easy to misunderstood this product. I am sure I will not be the only one to think that they are plasters that include a capsule of healing gel in the centre. In fact, they are plasters made of a special material that absorbs fluid from the wound, to form a bubble that supposedly promotes faster healing (see my photo of the pack leaflet). The plasters themselves are large enough to cover a child’s knee scrape, stick well and are waterproof. They are however very expensive, at over £1 per plaster. I will update this review when I can comment of their effectiveness in faster healing.

Plasterers do what they do over cuts

Best wound healing
