I bet we all had that experience where a pesky pimple pops out in the most undesirable place at the most undesirable time. I did. As someone who has an acne prone skin, I keep on purchasing products that can zap a zit overnight.
So when there's a raved product available, you just have to try it and cross your finger that it will do magic on you. Then I found CosRx Acne Pimple Master Patch.
CosRx Acne Pimple Master Patch has a good rating everywhere and raved by K-Beauty users. I've tried several acne patches before but they all ended up rotting in my closet and eventually thrown them out. So I was hoping that this will work, at least, and my money won't go to waste.

CosRx is known for using few ingredients in their products. Based on the ingredients, I'm not quite sure which ingredient zaps the pimple. Someone, please enlighten me.
It's nice that they provided an English instruction on how to use the patches.
One pack contains 24 patches with different sizes—just choose which one fits that pesky zit. I place the patch overnight (at least 10-12 hours) and remove it the next morning.
It'll look like this after you remove it.
I actually tried this in a pimple that has a visible comedone and one that's only red, painful, but no comedone.
I'll start with red, painful, and no yet visible comedone pimple. Depends on the size and how it inflamed it is, the CosRx Acne pimple patch will help reduce the inflammation and redness overnight. The pimple is still there the next day, but it's already manageable and can be concealed. But for bigger zits, maybe you can use a spot treatment before going to bed and let it dry first then put this patch. That could dramatically reduce the inflammation overnight but still needs a little make-up magic the next day.
For pimples with pus or visible comedones, this patch will not absorb the pus. It'll only reduce the redness and size and will help in removing comedones less painful. Most likely, the comedone will pop during warm showers so make sure to apply a spot treatment medicine to combat further infections.
So is CosRx Acne Pimple Master Patch worth it? For me, yes. I find it really hard to conceal red and huge inflamed pimples so reducing the redness and size really matters to me. For someone who faces people for work, you don't want them to stare at your screaming zit. And you can actually wear this at work (or when you go out) if the place of your zit can be covered by hair, since the patch is actually translucent and slightly yellowish.
