Johnson & Johnson Tough Pads, 4-Count 2.8" x 2.4" Pads

I bought these specifically for acne, and they work MIRACLES. I've tried Nexcare acne patches, which failed to suck anything out of the pimples. Then I tried the Cosrx ones, which I highly recommend, as they actually work and get all the junk out. I decided to look towards a more cost effective version and read about using hydrocolloid bandages instead on PocketDerm, as it's all the same material. These work even better than the Coxrx patches! The only downside is that they're extremely obvious on the face (duh), whereas the Cosrx ones are thing and tapered on the edges, so you could actually get away with wearing them on the forehead if you've got some bangs, etc.I cut up the pads into tiny pieces, depending on the size of the pimple I'm targeting. For whiteheads, it helps to pop the pimple first (lance it with a sterilized needle if possible), then apply these overnight. The pimple is completely flattened or disappeared entirely the next morning, and you'll see an indented whitish area on the pad where it sucked all the pus out. I've also found these useful for decreasing the amount of inflammation from cystic acne, and if I apply these for 3 nights in a row on cystic pimples, 90% of them have gone down in size and disappeared entirely.These have saved my skin, and I can't recommend them enough!

The media could not be loaded.  I'm 42, shouldn't be doing this, but too tempting not to try out the pool before the re-plaster. The plaster was very rough, popped, etc. In the cut at the end of the video, you can see deep grooves dug in to my elbow. I used a total of 3 of these advanced healing patches. After I cleaned it, I put one on for 2 days, then took it off, poured peroxide over it, and put another patch on for another 4 days. Then changed it again and left it on for another 3 days. The last photo in the video is the same elbow 10 days later. The first photo was taken in to the mirror, the 2nd, was straight at the arm. Same cuts though. You have to LEAVE these patches on! They will bubble up, look gross, might even leak a bit if the cut is bad, but its all normal, and if you cleaned it well, before you put in on... leave it alone.. They work wonders!!

I get scrapes a lot and even though my scrape was healing OK, I decided to give this a try a week after I got the injury. The injury was healing fine until I put this on. Something in the gel gave me an allergic reaction. Bumps were forming under the pad on my wound but I couldn't see the reaction until it got worse two days later. My whole leg broke out in bumps and a rash. Then, when I was taking off the pad, the gel leaked down my leg and an angry red rash formed. That rash later blistered, my skin died and peeled off. It was really scary. Please be careful! This prompted me to do a search on allergic reaction to hydrocolloid adhesive pads and I found an article saying that Duoderm was adding a resin that causes allergic reactions in a lot of people and that they should put a warning label and ingredients. Please be careful.

Great product. Promised delivery date was not met. Ordered on May 25 and did not receive until June 15

The pads are tough as advertised. I had to try several adhesives to get them to stay on during vigorous exercise.

We first bought these at Wal-mart locally when my son burned his hand pretty bad. He left the bandage on and his hand healed very nicely. We wanted to have some of these bandages around but of course, Wal-mart no longer carries them. So very happy to find them on Amazon and I got a great price and enough bandages to keep us from now on. My husband burned his chest this summer and he put on one of these bandages and healed right up. They really worked for the farmers in my life. I almost forgot, recently a friend of ours burned his hand and we took him a box and he too just healed right up.

These are by far, my most important product in my personal care collection. Most people see them and assume that they are only good for blisters.What I have found and have been doing for probably 6 years, is that if I ever get any kind of breakout, I IMMEDIATELY put one of these on the blemish after I've washed my face at night. I promise that by the time I have woken up in the morning, my blemish is either 90% or 100% healed and gone after using this.I ABSOLUTELY SWEAR BY THESE!!!I used to get horrible cystic acne, and that was a nightmare that lasted a week or longer. When I discovered these, and started putting them on at the first sign, I'm tellin ya, they changed my life.I cut them into the size I need and press firmly on clean skin. If its a weekend, I leave them on the whole time because I usually don't run around much.I used to be able to find them faithfully at walmart. Now this is the only place, and THANK GOD, because I don't know what I'd do if they ever stopped making them. I just wish I had found them as a teenager. I'm sure my face would be in much better shape as far as any scarring goes.I did NOT receive this product at a discount nor did I get it for free. I paid full price.

These hydrocolloid bandages work great. I use them to help reduce the size of breakouts. You can easily cut them to size. I personally prefer just using the ones that come already pre-cut because it saves time, but these are nice if you end up with more than one breakout right next to each other, since you can slap it over both. These are also nice and thick, and they stay in place well!
