Mighty Patch - Micropoint

Was excited to try these out, as they're a little less expensive than the Acropass microneedle patches, and these are *good* but I think I'll pay the extra $5 for Acropass from now on. I just don't think they're quite as effective.

When I removed the patch, I found the serum/solution underneath had separated from the outside patch piece into a sort of gel like circle, vs dissolving entirely, which made me question how much of the patch's active ingredients were really being absorbed. That being said, I think it *helped* with my cystic pimple, just not as effectively as my other patches (I also like that Acropass comes with a cleansing wipe in addition to the patch, to make sure the skin was completely clear of product for the patch to stick).

Man, these little guys work hard! I was hesitant to pay more than $2 per patch, but I knew that the patches with micropoints were better than patches without, so I thought I'd give them a try. Boy, am I glad I did! Whenever I feel a cycstic pimple starting to bloom, I slap one of these guys on there, and it kills it within a day. I've had two pimples go from red, irritated, and painful, to deflated and painless literally overnight. Plus, when you apply the patches, you can feel the micropoints penetrating those first couple layers of skin -- I know that probably won't excite everyone, but I love it!

I only have two gripes with this product. First, I've found that they're really only effective if your pimple is a cystic pimple that hasn't reached the whitehead stage. If it's anything other than red, irritated, and under the skin (e.g. a blackhead, just a little bump, etc.), the patch can't really do anything for it. Additionally, if it's a cystic pimple that's already reached the whitehead stage (like where it looks like it wants to pop), you're probably better off just popping rather than wasting a patch. I've had one pimple that already reached the whitehead stage, and I tried a patch on it, and it didn't really do much. Since these guys are so expensive, you probably don't want to waste them.

My other complaint is that you have to be really mindful about the order in which you do your routine, and how much product you put around or near your patch. If there are any…
