I think we can all agree when I say that acne is the worst. You could be having a perfect day, but the minute you spot a pimple beginning to erupt on your skin, it can immediately sour the vibe. What makes it even worse is you could be doing so good with your skincare routine, diligently applying all the steps of your regimen, but your face would still go and betray you like, "Hi, here's a new problem for ya!" *cries*

Well, one of my fave quick fixes for random breakouts is pimple patches. Just slap it on and you're good to go, right? Well, yes. But traditionally, they usually come in medicinal-looking translucent circles that make healing breakouts look so clinical and just... blah. (TBH, they also ruin a perfectly good makeup look, no matter how ~*seamless*~ they market their patches to be). Personally, dealing with pimples is already hard enough, so I want something that can not only protect my acne from external irritants but also make them look cute at the same time.

Good news: More and more brands are coming out with cute, non-boring pimple patches. All the good, zit-busting ingredients in the traditional stickers but with the most adorable designs that will actually make dealing with acne more fun! Here are the ones we spotted online that you can shop RN:
The Cutest, Non-Boring Pimple Patches You Can Shop Now
1. Starface
One of the most popular brands on the list, Starface has managed to gain a cult following in a short period of time, thanks to its *super cute* star stickers housed in bright yellow cubes. Its star ingredient is hydrocolloid, which is a moisture-retentive dressing that can absorb pus and help reduce inflammation overnight. They've since gone on to release it in other colors and shapes and even team up with famous brands like Sanrio's Hello Kitty for limited releases.
Although their website doesn't ship to the Philippines, you can still snag some Starface pimple patches via reputable online sellers.

2. Dododots
This award-winning Malaysian skincare brand finally ships to the Philippines (or you can also order from their trusted online resellers if you're not the greatest at waiting, LOL). Their hydrocolloid pus patches come in the cutest designs you can think of, from butterflies, hearts, bears, cats, and even fruits. Each pack comes with 20 pieces or "dots."

Here's one that's proudly local: Spot On Skin. Made with hydrocolloid, salicylic acid, and camellia sinensis leaf extract, these acne stickers can camouflage your zits while ensuring they heal properly. Ofc, they also come in the cutest designs: hearts, flowers, stars, bears, cats, and even fish! Depending on the design, a pack costs P159 to P199 and contains 24 pieces inside.

5. Let's Glow Beaute
The usual pimple patches we've come to know are usually thick, but Let's Glow Beaute's hydrocolloid stickers come in 0.2 mm ultra-thin sheets that make you feel like you're not wearing patches ~at all~. For the designs, there are definitely a ton to choose from. Hearts, stars, butterflies, and even emojis, anyone?
