1. Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patches cover each pimple in hydrocolloid dressing, protecting them from further infection, *literally absorbing* pus and oil, and helping them heal WAY WAY faster — and keeping you from picking at them.
Promising review: “Absolutely amazing! They come in three different sizes, so you can conquer any zit, no matter how large or small. They are close to clear, so they blend in well with my skin. I’ll put one on a painful, irritated, head-less pimple in the morning, go about my day (no one has called me out for wearing them, which means either they haven’t noticed or they’re afraid to say anything), and by the evening all the yuck has been sucked out onto the patch. It’s disgusting, but SO COOL! When I take the patch off, it looks like the pimple was photoshopped right off my face. ZAP! Leaving the patch on all day also keeps me from picking, which prevents nasty scars and making the zit worse. Seriously, I wish I had these in high school. Buy them for yourself, buy them for the teenagers in your life, buy them for everyone!” —Lindsay & Eddie

Promising review: “This product is hands down a complete winner. In the shower, I apply heavily to my wet face and neck areas and leave it on while washing/conditioning hair, then rub gently again as by then the texture is smooth after the sugary grains have melted. Rinse off for super happy skin. This hydrates, nourishes, exfoliates so well with zero irritation. It’s so gentle and effective. I use a bit on my hands, too.”

Promising review: “I have been using this product for almost four years now and never had issues with skin irritation or packaging. I always order directly from Amazon. I live overseas and never had an issue with packaging, even though it takes about a week to get here due to the distance. My personal experience with this has only been excellent. The toner does have a very lovely light fragrance. I use it day and night after washing my face and before putting on any serums or creams. I do notice that it cleans any leftover makeup or leftover face wash and helps with taming breakouts. I have sensitive skin but have never had any issues. Excellent product.”

I also find it works WONDERS as a spot treatment for the pimples that do happen to appear every-so-often. I love this stuff, use it often, and it still lasts FOREVER. Literally the best mask I’ve ever used.”

Promising review: “I really like these strips because not only does it cover the entirety of your nose, but goes up the bridge of your nose and a rather large patch of the forehead.

Promising review: “This stuff is GREAT! To start, I have EXTREMELY sensitive, acne prone skin (look at my pores wrong and I might breakout). When I first purchased this cleansing oil, I was new to the K-beauty skincare world. I wanted to dip my feet into the K beauty world without spending an arm and a leg, so I selected this product to try and am so glad I did. Now it’s my go to! Double cleansing is a game changer!! It makes sense when you learn the science behind it all and your pores will thank you. I was expecting my pores to feel clogged or a greasy residue to be left after I rinsed it off but to my surprise, I felt clean. When I wear makeup, it melts it right off and any remaining dirt in pores is then cleaned out with my water-based cleanser. It rinses off white, so once you stop seeing the white come off of your face, you’re good to move onto your water based cleansing step. Hope this helps for anyone considering double cleansing or just looking for a new oil cleanser.”

Promising review: “Story time: My lips were flaking more than the snow outside. They were dryer than the desert. I followed the directions and it wasn’t cutting into my skin like a thousand knives of fire as it sloughs away the disgustingly gross layer of cells. It also moisturizes like a warm hug. After rinsing away those hug crystals, my lips are given that new life and soft enough to not hurt others’ feelings when I yell about the 2016 Chicago Cubs being the greatest baseball team. Moral of the story: add this to your cart. No regrets will happen.”

Promising review: “My new favorite scrub! It’s gentler than others that I’ve tried, but I think that makes it better. The soft seaweed exfoliates nicely and doesn’t cause micro-tears in my skin like apricot pits or walnut shells do in other scrubs. Most scrubs make my face look very red and irritated after using but this one doesn’t. I do think it brightens, too. I use it two or three times a week and I think my skin tone is evening out very nicely. Not too drying, either! Kind of moisturizing, in fact, which is great with a scrub.”
