REVIEW: Nexcare Acne Dressing

~AG~

Bought this Nexcare Acne Dressing for THB 95 (S$3.70) at Boots Pharmacy in Bangkok. While in Bangkok, I was experiencing a cystic acne on my chin. The acne was so red and painful, even after applying my DRX Clinic Acne Spot Solution for two days. Acne Spot Lotion usually works well on emerging pimple, but it did not help in this case. On the last day in Bangkok, I was browsing through Boots Pharmacy and decided to buy this Nexcare Acne Dressing. This box comes with two 16-patches strips. The patches come in two sizes: 0.8 (small) and 1.2 (medium). There are 12 small patches and 6 medium patches in each strip.

How one strip looks like. It comes with 6 medium and 12 small patches.
Nexcare Acne Patch works like a sponge to absorb pus and oil from acne blemishes. The cover turns white when all the oil has been absorbed, giving you a visible sign that it is working. It is drug-free, non-drying way to absorb oil from clogged pores. They act as protective cover, reducing the urge to squeeze or pick at a blemish. They are breathable and comfortable to wear. 
What can I say about Nexcare Acne Dressing?
- Even though it is translucent, the patch has a yellow tinge and is rather thick; and therefore quite visible. If you are self-conscious, you definitely would not wear it in the daytime. 
- I tried using it to bed, and it stayed on well throughout the night. The adhesiveness is good! I do not use any other acne treatment when wearing Nexcare Acne Dressing. 
- The patch becomes cloudy in the morning as it absorbs the oil and pus from the acne, as evidenced below. 
 The morning after, you can see a yellow residue from the whitehead of the pimple

- Nexcare Acne Dressing does not provide immediate results. It does not noticeably reduce the size of acne or dries up whitehead pimples. 
- It does not dry out the skin, unlike harsh acne treatment such as Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. 
- For less than S$4, I think Nexcare Acne Dressing is handy to have. It is especially good if you are travelling to countries with polluted conditions. The patch works as a protective cover from environmental factors. I would repurchase this product because it works, and is easy on the pockets.
