I had big red spots, but they’re barely noticeable now thanks to 26p ‘magic’ patches – my skin looks amazing

NOTHING compares to the frustration of waking up with a massive spot, especially when there's an important event pencilled in your diary.

Luckily, beauty lovers are raving about affordable pimple patches that not only will conceal the spot but also treat it, so that your skin is blemish-free in a matter of hours.

The best part? Not only will all the spots be gone, but the zit patches amount to a mere 26p each, making it an budget-friendly skincare buy.

The Dots for Spots Acne Patches, which sell on Amazon for £6.99, come in a pack of 24, and work their magic by absorbing the gunk and the impurities from the blemishes.

The gentle yet effective formula includes ingredients like salicylic acid, green tea and hyaluronic acid in the hydrocolloid covering.

As the zit patches are translucent and ultra-thin, they blend in with your skin seamlessly, so you can go about your make-up routine as normal - there will be no irritating the pimple.

Meanwhile, the covering also acts as a barrier, which is good news for those who cannot help but pick the spot or even worse - attempt to pop it.

According to the description online, where a whopping 39k people have given the product 4.4 stars, beauty lovers should wear the patches for over six hours - or overnight if possible.

Once the see-through dot turns cloudy opaque white, it is then time to remove the blemish patch.

With delighted customers raving about the product, it's safe to say that this zit buster is not one to sleep on, as people are saying these are ''hands down the best spot patches EVER''.

One happy Amazon shopper wrote: "I’ve used them on a few spots now and they work exactly as they say. I’m not sure of the science so I’ve put it down as magic but they work very well.

''Also, an added bonus is that they seem to stick through showers in my experience. I assumed there would fall of like any old plaster but it stayed on there and seemingly didn't even move!"

Another, who described them as ''magic'', chimed in: "Such a great product if you are blemish prone, it gives me so much confidence to know I can apply one of these patches at night and by the next morning my blemish has massively reduced and I don’t have to walk around feeling conscious.''

A third penned: "These are the best little dots I’ve ever had the great fortune to find. Anyone who suffers from the hormonal flare ups.

''These are brilliant within 24 hours redness gone 48 hours the little blighter has vanished. Thanks D4S [Dots for Spots] brilliant creation. Perfect for teenagers at that awkward time too."

However, not everyone was raving about the blemish patches, as they allegedly kept falling off - and in some cases, even leaving a red mark on their face.

One customer claimed: ''When placing them on I do find that they can slightly hide the appearance of the redness but not sure they work too well with reducing the spots themselves.

''I will continue to try in different places to see whether they work."

How do pimple patches work?

As explained by the American Chemical Society, spot treatments act as a bandage that prevents people from touching the blemishes, whilst also absorbing the fluid from the sits.

The formula creates a moist environment for faster and improved healing process, the professionals noted.

Whilst the patch won't necessarily stop the next pimple from appearing, the spot can be fixed quicker and more effectively.
