I thought that these would be good for pimples that were not popped and were just red, but they only work for pimples that have been popped. I didn't see any benefit to using these over something like a pimple cream or benzoyl peroxide cream. They didn't want to stay on my face and I had to keep pressing them back down for about an hour and then they stayed on for a while after that. I found that using these made me more aware that I had blemishes on my face, so I tended to pick at them more. Not going to repurchase these.
