EasyDerm Quick Calming Magnesium Patches WIDE and Quick Calming Magnesium Patches

Just try to used it , very effective

I saved these until I had an outbreak that was sizable enough to warrant applying them, because I hadn't realized how large they would be. The patches are at least an inch and a half wide, which is really quite a lot of surface area on a person's face. But it's also worth knowing that they have a kidney bean like shape and seem to be specifically made for your chin. So if you try to apply them other places, especially highly contoured places like the side of your nose, it's probably just not going to stick well. They do have micro darts and they are fairly pronounced to compare compared to others I have tried, but it's not painful. There's also a gel/cream that comes with the patches in a little tube and it is apparently very easy to use too much of that, because once lubricated, the patches don't stick well at all. In fact, once I used it in what I thought was a very light amount, I couldn't get it to stay on my face, and had to use a piece of medical tape over top of it to get it to stay. So because these are so mission specific, limited to only one zone of the face, and because they're kind of expensive and large, they aren't as versatile as they could be. It seems like if you always have chin breakouts, these are for you. But if you get pimples in unpredictable places, or in places where you need a lot of flexibility or have facial contours, like between your eyes or on the side of your nose, you might need more conventional patches that bend and stick wherever you put them.

A real lifesaver for my cystic acne!! I’ve used microdart patches in the past but it would take several days before any difference started showing. With these, the results were quite literally overnight. I’m repurchasing whenever I need to zap a cyst quickly, literally the best thing I’ve ever purchased for my skin!! Promise you the price is so worth the results

These extra-large patches are a fantastic way to target a cluster of breakouts. I’ve been using them on my chin, which is currently my main problem area. A quick tip: I suggest applying them after brushing and flossing, as excessive mouth movement can cause them to shift (just like any other patch in that area). These work best for me on spots that have already "popped" and are in the healing phase. In my experience, these are actually more effective than sulfur treatments for closing up a wound and preventing scabs. By the next morning, my redness has dramatically decreased. Just keep in mind that these are for healing, not for drawing out impurities—if you still have "gunk" to remove, stick with a hydrocolloid patch first, then switch to these to finish the job!

These are basically the EasyDerm Quick Calming patches I’ve used in the past but in a new XL size. Instead of a small circle for one blemish, these measure about 1.3” x 2.3”, big enough to cover a larger area like the chin or a small section of cheek. Same idea as the originals: hydrocolloid base with tiny magnesium micro-spicules to help treat deep, stubborn breakouts. Plus, each box contains a soothing Cica ampoule you can add to the center for extra calming. I’ve used their smaller patches for about a year, and I only pull them out for the blemishes that I know will be a pain to heal, like the ones that linger or feel sore deep under the skin. Now, these new XL ones work the same way, just with a bigger coverage area, so I’d reserve them for a cluster of breakouts or a stubborn zone that needs focused attention. The downside? The price. Each box has just 2 patches, so with 2 boxes you’re getting 4 total for $30. That’s $7.50 per patch. If you’re breaking out often, you could go through these in just a couple days, which isn’t cost-effective at all. I know these work and I like having them as a line of defense for when I’m struggling, but the price is hard to justify. If I do repurchase these, I’d most likely stick to the single patches because I don’t struggle often with clusters of bumps. So, the singles make most sense for my skin’s needs. Now, if price isn’t a concern and you need heavy-duty spot care for a larger area, these are fantastic. However, if you’re looking for an everyday pimple patch, you’ll blow through these far too quickly.

Honestly, I was ready for these to not work. Much to my surprise, they made my blemishes flat and less noticeable. Each set comes with the patches and a serum to put on the patches before sticking them to your face. The serum comes out way too fast, so just hover it over the patch and let the slightest amount get on. You don't want the serum to touch the adhesive part because it will not stick to your face. The patches have what looks like metal mesh on them. The larger patches are more uncomfortable, and it was too large to put on my chin (maybe I have a small chin?). The circle patches are much less noticeable when you wear them overnight. Some of the patches did come off by morning, with the chin one coming off first. Although effective, I don't think I'd get these again because the metal mesh feels hard and weird on my face.

This patch most definitely did flatten my pimple overnight. It is exactly what I have been looking for. It comes with a serum that you add to the patch, just a drop. The back of the patch has tiny metal pins that press into the skin, allowing for the delivery of the serum overnight . It might also help to drain the pimple, but I'm not sure about that. The pins are not painful or long. They are just enough to help with the penetration of the product into the skin. The next morning, poof! Pimple flattened. I would say this is a bit on the expensive side. But when I get a big zit, I will pay almost anything to get it to go away fast. It is a pack of ten small patches and two large patches that I haven't looked at yet. I actually don't break out to the extent of needing a big patch, so I am more interested in the little dots. I did have a bit of an issue with the application. It comes with tweezers which I tried to use. It made it more difficult and I will use my fingers next time. There are two little things you have to peel away from the sticker. I fumbled with this, which I think took away some of the stickiness. It slipped a little bit, but I was eventually able to get it to stay in place and do its magic. And magic it is. Despite the complaints I have, it works and that is what I care about the most. I hate getting pimples and this effectively zaps them away.

I’ve used the smaller pimple patches from this brand and liked them, but would not purchase these larger patches again. They feel and fit awkwardly on the face. They were too uncomfortable to wear while sleeping so you can really only wear them if you plan to be at home for a few hours without going anywhere. If you are sensory sensitive you will probably not like these, plus you only get two for the price.
