COSRX
4.5
(51)
"Overnight: Cosrx Original red label for deep/cystic"
"Cosrx AC collection pimple patches. They have to be the “AC collection” type. They are oval shaped with thin edges so they disappear into the skin more than the regular round ones, and they suck up soooo much gunk"
"Definitely CosRX"
"The COSRX microdart patches are great for pimples that are close to coming to a head, but not quite there."
"COSRX clear fit master patch works really well for me"
"CosRX patches have worked wonders for me"
"Cosrx pimple patches"
"Using the axis y dark spot serum as a spot treatment then immediately using a cosrx patch on top. If I leave it overnight, I wake up with a significantly reduced acne that goes away in a couple days."
"I’ve tried a lot but CosRx is the only one that worked for me"
"Cosrx has ones that come with salicylic acid and tea tree oil."

"I love the hero patches! The invisible ones stick the best!"

"The invisible hero patches (blue package) I have found are the best - don’t turn white over time and stay ~invisible~ and also don’t move the whole day"
"My favorite are Hero Cosmetics! They stay on all night or day and always work well."
"For really deep cysts, i like using the micro-point patches from hero cosmetics or peach slices!"
