An instant hit when these launched at Sephora earlier this summer, these acne stickers are currently the No. 1 best-seller in the store's "Acne and Blemishes" category. Combining the best of both worlds, they're made of hydrocolloid material and infused with salicylic acid, plus vitamin A to promote healing and soothing aloe vera. And could the name be any cuter?
Stick these clear dots on swollen blemishes and let them do their thang overnight (i.e. suck up excess pus and oil). Also nice: The box of 36 contains two different sizes, so you can perfectly target any pimple.

Pore-clearing salicylic acid plus antimicrobial tea tree oil plus hydrating hyaluronic acid form a powerful treatment trio in these translucent acne stickers. Use them day or night, but it's best not to put makeup on top of them.
Pimple patches may just be gaining popularity here, but they've long been a K-beauty staple. This option, from one of the biggest K-beauty brands, is made of hypoallergenic, hydrocolloid material to help reduce the size and redness of blemishes.

By creating a protective cover over the pimple, this acne sticker keeps bacteria out, minimizing inflammation and the likelihood of scarring. It also absorbs excess fluid, making these ideal for -- sorry for the unappealing visual -- particularly pus-filled pimples.
