Read on for my full Neutrogena patches and exfoliant review.

The exfoliant removed excess oil from my T-zone without it feeling dry and scratchy.
Although I cleansed beforehand, it lifted leftover dirt, leaving my skin soft and without any redness.

Full disclaimer thatpimple patchesare not anovernight solution, as SELF has previously reported.
Though if you’re a pimple popper (who isnt tempted?
Before going to work I applied two small, circular patches to two bumps near my shoulder.
If you have melanated skin, the patches will be more noticeable.
After four hours the center of the patch became slightly raised as the impurities were pulled from my bump.
It was a teensy bit painful pulling off the patch, but my pimples reduced in size by half.
Overall I really liked that it was mess-free.
Theres no scrubbing, rubbing, or rinsing neededjust stick on and go about your day.
