Does what it says it does

I like it. Only takes one day to do the job. Great product. This is why I always come back to Kiehl's.

Wish it was what it said it was

It’s sticky. Doesn’t create a patch at all. Never sits well and attracts stuff to the area you want to keep clean.

Hello, we're sorry for the disappointment faced when trying our Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Pimple Patch! This product uses a unique "liquid-to-patch" technology meaning instead of a physical sticker, it is a liquid designed to dry down into an invisible, protective film. If it is staying sticky or attracting dust, it is likely due to application thickness. To get a perfect, smooth dry-down, we recommend using just one drop. Applying too much creates a thick, tacky layer that won't set. Dab to lightly spread it on top of the blemish rather than rubbing it into the skin. Lastly, give it 2 to 5 minutes to fully set before touching the area or applying other products. If you still don't love it, please reach out to our Customer Support Team so we can assist you further!

I can’t believe how well this works

My chin is prone to whiteheads. They get very red and impossible to cover with makeup. I avoid leaving my house sometimes because it’s so embarrassing. Stick-on pimple patches do nothing except draw the whitehead out snd make it look worse. Then I bought this “pimple patch” and I cannot believe how magic it is. I put it on my whitehead several times a day and the whitehead never enlarged, the area wasn’t overly red. In 3 days the pimple was gone with a trace of a spot in its place. I’m floored! Nothing has ever worked like this for me before. I’m so happy to have found this product.

Dries down totally invisible under makeup

I was skeptical of a liquid patch, but this gel dries down so flat and invisible. The 2% salicylic acid shrunk my blind pimple overnight without peeling.

Finally, a patch that doesn't slide off

The clear liquid formula dries down quickly without that gummy feel. It zapped my stubborn hormonal spot overnight without the usual peeling or redness. A total game changer.

Love this product but..

Love everything about this product, the oorujnla, the consistency, the no fragrance, love everything EXCEPT the packaging, every time I finish it I feel there is always some at the bottom that the dropper can not reach.
