Gone are the days of spot treating pimples with toothpaste. There’s a whole new range of blemish-busting products on the market that will give raised, pussy and red spots the boot, all while being kind to the skin.
You’ve probably seen us rave about pimple patches on beautyheaven before. They’re the best thing since sliced bread in our opinion — or at least the best thing since its sister, the cold sore patch.
But you know what we love more than a beauty invention? A bargain buy. And how does nixing the next unwelcome skin guest for just $5 sound?
Yep, the price is right and the reviews are even better. We’re talking about the packet of COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patches that are only $4.80 on Amazon Australia. And you want to know how many you get? 24! If you’re only prone to the odd pimple, that’ll last you a long time.
The patches themselves are made of a discreet wound-healing material called hydrocolloid and come in three sizes to tackle any small or large skin emergency. According to the website, hydrocolloids “maintain the ideal level of moisture in the acne area and help the acne recovery process.”
“As acne flattens effectively overnight, you can also see the patch turning white the next morning.”
Sounds glorious if you ask us, but we’re yet to get our hands on the Korean Beauty, price-friendly phenomenon. So, being us, we hounded the reviews instead.
One happy customer wrote, “I have occasional small pimples before and during my periods. This product is great for overnight use to protect and heal the pimples. The patch would become white while the pimple has halved in size. I never need to use more than 2 patches for one single pimple. In most cases, one treatment is adequate.”
While another had this useful advice: “These patches are great! I did find that they won’t do anything if the pimple isn’t open or popped already. If it’s a deep, cystic pimple, don’t even bother with it cause it’ll be a waste. But if it’s there’s a spot for all the yucky stuff to come out, it will suck it all out and in the morning it’ll be on the patch and not in your skin!”
Sounds incredibly satisfying for a small price to pay if you ask us.

Have you ever tried a pimple patch? Do you think this $5 buy sounds too good to be true?
Luckily, I rarely get deep cystic acne. Clearasil works wonders on my zits, but I am curious about these. I don’t like Amazon, so I won’t be buying them.
Look qute intriguing
These sound very interesting! I won’t buy from Amazon, but hopefully they’re available elsewhere.
These work so well! My favourite patches
You can get them on iherb
Good idea but fortunately I don’t need them
Not something that I need but they sound so interesting.
I’ve used blemish patches before (not these ones though) and they worked SO well
I don’t need them but find it interesting on how they work.
Great price for the quantity
I my partner and I still suffer from pimples occasionally, I’d like to try these one day when they are available from more stockists.
Good to know they are available for everyone to acess.
I’ll be interested when I can get them elsewhere. Too bad about not working on cystic pimples, they are the worst ones and takes to longest amount of time to heal.
It’s fantastic that they are so affordable!
good idea for those that need it.
Fantastic sounding at a bargain price.
I don’t get many but when I do I need to leave them alone…….maybe this might help!
I have tried something like this before and they definitely work great overnight.
I’m a sucker and I’ve just ordered 🙂
I use the Mecca ones. They are fantastic!
I don’t shop on amazon. But for odd breakout I just exfoliate well (acid and physical based), at times, after, slather clay mask on (if breakout is a bit out there), apply retinol and acid overnight. Gone by morning.
Wish these’d been around when I was a teenager!
Sounds amazing I don’t use Amazon but would be interested if they are sold anywhere else.
This is something that I’m going to buy for sure now that I know about it.
Like the idea of a patch.
Don’t get pimples very often but a pimple patch sounds like a good idea. South Korean Beauty would think of these things. Great value for money as well.
I received a sample of some pimple patches a while ago can’t remember which brand they were but I do use them for the occasional hormonal pimple and they do seem to help.
I don’t buy from Amazon but these sound interesting. I’ve seen other brands in Chemist Warehouse but haven’t tried them.
Brilliant – thanks Nys. Going to buy my daughter a pack.
Sounds intriguing
Oo I wonder if they are good? I use Ultraceuticals spot cream! It works very well for me
These sound great as I do get a pimple once a month. Might be worth trying.
Same here!
I have never seen this product before!
Sounds interesting!

II don’t use pimple patches but I love COSRX – they make excellent skin care. Have used their BHA power liquid, Galactomyces essence, Aloe soothing sun cream to name a few. If you don’t mind waiting, Roseroseshop based in South Korea currently has free shipping on all COSRX products and their prices are generally better than buying from AU resellers including Amazon.

I really loves this products 🙂
These sound as good as Compeed!

Amazon is convenient but not the most ethical!
