Interesting product, not fast results

I was excited to try this product, as I always struggle with dark spots after acne. Unfortunately, I only received five patches, so I decided to use them on one specific spot on my face to see if there would be any change. While I noticed a slight improvement, it wasn't as much as I had expected given the product's ingredients. Perhaps I need to purchase another box and start over to see if it can actually help with my post-acne dark spots.

PanOxyl Dots

I received these #PanOxyl @panoxyl @panoxyl_ca dots from @thisisbutterly to assist with pimples & minimizing scars.

Following the directions, I applied a dot to the affected, cleansed area. The back peeling off of the product was tricky, as I have no fingernails to properly & easily remove the peeling.

Once I was able to get the dot smooth again as it stuck to itself when removing, it was placed. I understand this is a tricky area, however, the product states it will stick anywhere.

Within minutes the dot had started removing itself off the skin at the edges. I thought it was because of the peeling issues.

I opened another dot, carefully peeled the backing off, placed on the area again, & within minutes the same peeling away occurred.

Could be my skin as there was no lotion or cream or foundation on the area as it was cleansed accordingly.

Personally, this product did not work for me. I have read good reviews for others who have success with this product. Thank you for the opportunity to have been a reviewer.

Sticks incredibly well, possibly too well

I wanted to like these, as I've become a big fan of pimple patches and such. The coverage is fairly large, which would work well for bigger breakout areas that you can't cover with a single sticker. The thing is that it stuck so well to my cheek that I left it on for two days, the edges didn't even lift or anything, and taking it off to wash my face properly was PAINFUL. My skin under it was a bit shiny, not irritated but didn't necessarily look like post-acne marks had improved either. Maybe it works better for some skin types than others, but it didn't really work well for me.

Reaction!

I tried these patches on my teenage son who has moderate acne. We put over a group of pimples on his jaw line, and when we removed he had a very red and inflamed patch on his skin. We also tried on his back and that area did not react. The patch actually drew out the puss on his back. Needless to say, we did not try again after the reaction. These may work for some with the Niacinamide & Vitamin C to lighten acne spots.

Improved skin texture

I was provided a sample of this product for free in return for an honest review.

I found the patches a little tricky to work with without rolling the edges but by the fourth patch, I’d figured out a good technique. The patches are super sticky and stay on all night without issue. I was actually able to reposition a patch and it still remained on until I removed it in the morning.

I didn’t notice much of a change in my scar colouring however the overall texture of my skin significantly improved after just one use. I could actually see and feel where I had used the patch as my skin felt hydrated and much smoother.

If I had the full ten days worth of patches I believe I would have noted even better results.

I would recommend these patches as there was a clear improvement in my skin.

I wish I had received more

It is really hard to give a full honest review when I only received 4 patches and the product states you should use for 10 days to see best results. The things I did really enjoy about these is how big they are, so they can actually cover a large spot, and they are also large enough to cut in half if you want to use it for smaller spots. They are also very sticky, so they actually stay on the entire night unlike a lot of other patches that either lift or can come off from your pillow. In the case of lightening my dark spot that I used them on, I haven’t really noticed much of a difference, but I also believe that is because I couldn’t use it for the recommended 10 days which was quite disappointing. The price point on these is ok, so I would probably repurchase myself to actually see if I saw different results with the recommended 10 days of use.

It does what it says on the tin

Full disclosure that I didn't get any instructions with my sample, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I felt these were just... okay! I didn't have any actively healing breakouts so I was using them on a corner of my mouth that always cracks and has darkened from the scabbing/healing. I've tried putting it over moisturized and unmoisturized skin and it sticks well both ways, but does leave some unseemly wrinkles from being stuck on overnight. Also not convinced that the triangle shape is the best. I did try cutting them in half to use, and they worked fine as well so you can get more bang for your buck that way (but be warned they do stick together quite easily, and don't peel apart).

For the most part, I feel like there is some minor lightening, but not significantly more than you'd see with targeted spot treatments like a niacinamide/retinol/vit c serum and it feels a little wasteful to have to use them for 10 days or more to see more of an effect. If you're the kind of person who tends to pick at your scarring or has more sensitive skin that you don't want to directly apply serums to, then this might be more your speed. But otherwise, I think most people might find themselves better off with a serum.

It’s alright

I was gifted this product for an honest review. I’ve seen this type of patches advertised by influencers on TikTok and YouTube, and was really excited to try them out. I tried the patches on my most stubborn breakouts (for context, I don’t get a lot of breakouts) for several days in a row and they’ve not had any significant effect on healing or the appearance of them. And yet, I’ve used them on other less noticeable break outs and they’ve disappeared within one night of wearing the patches. I can’t ascertain whether that occurred due to natural healing or not, but given that there was nearly no effect on the more stubborn areas of breakouts, I don’t know that this product does what it claims to do. It could also just not be working for my skin.

It did the work

Received about 4 of the PanOxyl blemish brightening patches and I wish I had gotten more so I could give a better review. It did do the work as I had a pimple show up as soon as I received it. The first night after I used it, the pimple became dull, and in 2 days I couldn't see it again or a scar from it.
I wish the patches were smaller or at least easy to divide, because I found them big enough to treat 2 spots but couldn't divide it for that purpose. I may be inclined to buy it as an "Emergency save my face kit", but not for everyday use.
