Starface Hydro-Star® Recovery Patches - 32 Count

This product is very good

Great for blemishes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love all the stars, but I do find these especially good for post-extraction. I feel like the spot does heal up faster, it's less red overnight and you can go without another star the next day. And purple is cute 🥰

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't particularly like the yellow patches, they work. And they work great, but the recovery and the salicylic acids ones work so well that you just won't be able to go back to using the plain ones again. 10/10

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These recovery patches are an absolute lifesaver for healing blemishes. They really help soothe and protect my pimples during the final healing stages, and more importantly, having them on completely stops me from picking at my skin, which prevents scarring. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't usually write reviews but these recovery stars actually work wonders - if I have any sort of scratch from picking, these stars prevent a dark scab from forming, and instead help my spots clear so fast! I will definitely be stocking up on these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving these patches! I have an unfortunate picking habit but these have definitely helped me start to lessen it. They feel great over irritated spots and have reduced my scarring overall. Loving my results so far! 🤍

I had this bad ance spot on my zzpforehead for five years now where I just pick with the new skin constantly then the spot will become dark from excessive skin picking. Even with using the other patches I wasn't getting the results I needed. With the recovery stars the spot has completely healed not leaving any skin for me to pick with. It also have made the spot go back to being my skin color. The scar of the spot haves 85% went away! I use to be ashamed of that spot it not want to go out without it not being covered not its not noticeable anymore. I'm really impressed with these star patches. They really get rid of the stubborn scared spots especially with me being a bad picker especially when stress! Thank you Starface!

Once I used it, it actually made my face worse.

So they do help recovery. I've found as someone with a severe picking issue (littéral holes in my skin bad) that pimple patches in general help me with picking, as the change in texture from skin reminds me that I'm picking and helps me to stop. But any patch does that, and the harsher edges of the stars sometimes actually bring more discomfort to cause picking. As for actual repair, in my experience, these seem to do pretty well in reducing redness, irritation, etc. But again, for me, most patches do that. I've found these don't stick as well as other patches. I normally use just some basic hydrochloride patches from my local grocery store, and those can stay on my face for days even with my persistent face touching. Whereas the star patches came off within the first evening I tried them. To be fair I also have a hairy face, and a bit of a unibrow where I get a lot of my spots, so it is difficult to find a patch that can still get to the damage through my fuzz. I think a main issue for the staying power is that the prongs of the stars snag easier, but it's still not good. In conclusion, I don't really recommend these for practical use, if you're really against the look of other patches, then sure, just know that these don't stick very well. Especially for my fellow hairy people.
