Where do you usually get those pesky breakouts? I usually get them on my chin area nowadays (especially during that time of the month), making it so hard for my pimple patches to make it through the day. Those pimples usually take months to heal because it takes time for them to come to the surface and pop. Ugh, I hate them a lot.

Luckily, I received this product for free from @go.picky @pickyrewards and @skin1004official in exchange for my honest review on these new pimple patches.

These patches were tested for 2-3 weeks before coming up with my honest opinions. Conveniently, I got to use these pimple patches when approaching my period, when my skin usually wreaks havoc in the form of the most stubborn hormonal acne along my chin and jawline. These pimple patches basically got the true test of judgment.

Trying the Tea-Trica Treatment

Tea-Trica Spot Cover Patch currently retails at $2.50 USD on Stylevana for a pack of 22 patches of various sizes. Each patch contains hydrocolloid to soak up fluids from within the pimple so that it can dry out and properly heal. To go along with the themed skincare line, these pimple patches use tea tree to help soothe skin and dry out pimples so that it can speedily heal and minimize blemishes.

If you’re interested in trying this product out for yourself, you can save 10% on your purchase at Stylevana if you use my discount code INF10OHMY at the checkout. You can even get 15% off your purchase if you spend at least $59 USD with my discount code on Stylevana. I do receive a small percentage of commission if you use the code.

Why are these patches supposed to work well? There are some unique details to the pimple patch design to help your skin become its healthiest version:

• Medical-Grade Hydrocolloid: The sheet is supposed to have a strong adhesive that can stick to your skin without irritation and trap moisture for a smooth healing process. Creating this strong seal also helps prevent more bacteria from infecting the pimple and prolonging the healing process.
• Beveling Technique: The pimple patch is slimmer at the edges so that the patch is thinner and closer to your skin tone. Think of it as the skincare ninja that works in secret.
• Semi-Cut Film: The patches are all along a piece of semi-cut plastic that you can rip accordingly as you use the patches up.
• Centella Asiatica: Centella Asiatica is commonly used to treat inflammation and redness in skincare so that the recovery process for pimples can be faster and more hygienic.

A Patch Made in Heaven

Sealable Packaging

I appreciate the hygienic double packaging (one for opening the patches and the exterior for traveling or extended use). With this design, the pimple patches can also become travel-friendly. There are 22 patches of small, medium, and large sizes in the bag. This is because the patches are supposed to be when the pimple is ready to breakout or when it in the blemish stage.

Easy to Peel Without Breakage

The patches can be easily ripped out from the sheet without warping, which is a problem I’ve noticed in other patches in the past. I hate when the patches get caught onto the plastic sheets because it prevents my pimples from being properly protected. These Skin 1004 pimple patches don’t have that issue at all.

Unscented and Gentle for Sensitive Skin

There’s no scent to these if you are concerned with any tea tree scents. My skin did not break out from using these pimple patches during my testing period. Removing these pimple patches after every use was not a hassle and didn’t cling to my skin. Therefore, I think that the patches are a perfect solution for sensitive skin types.

Hidden in Plain Sight

Upon opening the patches, I was super impressed with how thin and transparent these patches are! When I put them on my pimple, they seamlessly blended into my tan skin. I would forget I was wearing these pimples sometimes when I touch my skin because they were very thin. The only time I would notice their presence, of course, was when the hydrocolloid absorbed the pus and cause a white dot to appear.

The patches are very comfortable and thin, so you can put makeup on top or wear them while working out (which I did for about 2 weeks). One thing I find annoying when trying pimple patches is when you can see the patch with makeup and it is marketed as a “makeup-friendly patch.” Since the patch design is beveled, the patch does a better job at blending into my skin and hiding under my rather lightweight makeup.

Noticeable Results

I was lucky enough to go through my time of the month to show noticeable progress pictures. This patch is thin and sturdy for even the chin/mouth area and lasted the whole night. My whole experience using these patches was near my mouth and chin, which are usually the hardest places for pimple patches to stick. These pimples definitely passed the hormonal acne test and are reliable for my period acne.

You can clearly see the results and how well it did at sucking up oil from my pimple. By the end of my testing period, my pesky pimple became close to healed. Seeing the progress pictures definitely wowed me. I had to do a double-take.

Were There Any Cons?

No cons! I wish there were more pimple patches in the packaging, which is an excellent con to have lol. But the price point for these is pretty good!

Would I repurchase?

Most definitely! For those with blemishes that are hard to heal or usually break out along their chin area like myself, consider using these for your next breakout. The patches are grippy enough to last throughout the day (sleeping, working out, under the heat, you name it). If you want a patch that can be so comfy and invisible on your skin, Skin 1004’s pimples are your best bet.

I was very impressed with how thin and sturdy these patches were. They are very makeup-friendly if you wear makeup very frequently. As someone who usually wears more natural makeup, these ones hide pretty well.

I highly recommend them for early and late-stage breakouts. The pimple design is more meant for when your pimples hit a breaking point and have to pop. These are supposed to help with healing your skin, so I wouldn’t think they are very effective when you have early-stage breakouts.

The post The Perfect Pimple Patch Exists! Say Hello to the Skin 1004 Tea-Trica Spot Cover Patch appeared first on Style Oh My.

What do you like to do to calm down? I love listening to music (especially SZA’s SOS album or Lofi music, currently) and winding down with a nice book. When your skin needs to calm down, maybe it’s in need of a clarifying face wash! Clarifying face washes can help reveal a clean slate for your skin. I’m sure we can all use a clean slate after the work and stress we can experience throughout the week.

I received the following product for free from @go.picky @pickyrewards and @skin1004official in exchange for my honest review. This product was integrated into my nighttime routine for 2-3 weeks before I could come up with honest thoughts on how effective it is for my skin.

Try the Tea-Trica!

Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica BHA Foam retails at $14.00 USD on their website. This foaming facial cleanser is meant for acne-prone skin because it can clear your skin of excess oil and sebum that can clog your pores and cause breakouts.

If you want to try out the product for yourself, you can purchase this cleansing foam at a 10% discount by using my Stylevana discount code INF10OHMY at checkout. You can also receive 15% off your purchase at Stylevana if you buy at least $59 USD with my discount code. I do receive a small percentage of commission if you use it.

This clarifying formula is effective for your skin because of key ingredients like the following:

• Centella Asiatica: Centella Asiatica is a great ingredient for oily and acne-prone skin because it deals with inflammation and wound healing. If you deal with redness, this ingredient helps relieve your skin so that it looks soothed and relaxed.
• Tea Tree: Tea tree has anti-microbial properties that can clear your skin of dirt and oil that can clog your pores and delay the pimple healing process. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it another product used to combat redness.
• Pine Tree Complex: Pine tree is used in medical practices for wound healing and for infections. In the skincare realm, pine tree is used for anti-aging and hyperpigmentation. This makes it a great ingredient for dry skin, especially, since the moisture benefits from pine tree can create a healthy surface to support skin cell generation.
• Salicylic Acid (BHA): This acid is frequently used in skincare products that are designed to wipe out excess oil, sebum, and dirt. It also has anti-microbial properties, so using it as an exfoliator for dead skin can help fade out hyperpigmentation and blemishes.

A Spa Treatment at Your Fingertips

Simple but Trustworthy Packaging

The bottle is large and sturdy, so it is a great product to carry for traveling. I do have to say that this product is super thick (not exaggerating), so it can be harder to squeeze out the foam wash when you are closer to emptying. The formula consistency also means that you don’t have to worry about it spilling out in any circumstance.

Spa-Like Scent

When you open the product, you get a light smell of tea tree and Centella Asiatica (similar to eucalyptus, if you’ve never smelled it before). I personally love whenever I have products that give that minty fresh type of feeling or make you feel relaxed. This scent opinion of mine is subjective, but some people may not like it.

Cream-to-Foam Wash

The product itself is a thick, slightly sparkly white paste that transforms into a creamy, milky lather with water. If you didn’t know what the product was, you can probably mistake it for toothpaste because of its thickness. Putting the wash in contact with water will help transform it into some suds.

Due to the consistency of the face wash, I do want to mention that the wash-off time can vary based on how much product you use. If you use a small amount of product, then washing it off can be very easy. If you use more than that, keep in mind that you will have to work into the product more to really wash off the remaining residue.

Long-Time Usage

I used a pea size amount of product for my dry skin over the course of 2.5 weeks and I never broke out. I actually saw improvement with the skin in my chin area since that’s where I usually break out. My blemishes did slightly fade away after using the product on a consistent basis. Fading out blemishes in my chin area can be tiresome, so it’s nice to find a product that can alleviate the process.

You don’t need a lot of product for washing your face, so I estimate that this face wash can last in your skincare collection for around 4-5 months.

I also tried using this as a body acne solution since I sometimes have bacne (back acne) and chest acne. This face wash was nice for clearing out excess oil and dirt and healing blemishes for those areas. If you need a body acne skincare routine, then consider adding this as a targeted body wash before using your usual body wash and lotion.

Cooled Down, Cool Skin

Using this product leaves my face feeling soothed, cooled down, and less red aka it calms down. My skin gets red very easily and this face wash did not irritate my dry skin at all.

If you deal with oily skin or are in humid areas, this face wash might also be perfect for you due to the clarifying formula.

You May Not Enjoy This Face Wash If …

Severely Dry Skin

No cons for me personally, but if you do have a damaged skin barrier, I recommend using this when your skin has improved. My skin was in its lowest when I had a damaged skin barrier and that skin state is when exfoliating products like this one aren’t suitable. If your skin is very dry, for this same reason I would have to not recommend this formula.

For both of these skin types, if you really think you might need this product, please use this every 2-3 days. Go in with products that focus on moisturizing and hydrating your skin afterwards so that your skin gets the support needed for a healthy recovery.

Dislike Strong Scents

If you’re not into tea tree oil or tea tree scents, then you might not like this one. Some people really hate these types of scents and I felt it was necessary to make a small section to emphasize the strong scent.

Would I repurchase?

Yes! I was pleasantly surprised with how my skin looked and felt after using this cleanser. In my opinion, it is comparable to Tatcha’s rice wash since it is a creamy face wash formula, but more affordable.
