Discreet And Effective!

At 50 and in perimenopause, there are still times when I experience the odd hormonal blemish or two on my chin, nose, or cheek. Thankfully, breakouts are rare, and after receiving a sample of PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches® from Butterly® and Shoppers Drug Mart, I found myself waiting and almost hoping for a blemish to errupt, so I could honour my agreement to review the product online. As fate would have it, I woke with a couple of small, headless blemishes on my chin last week, as well as a tiny, reoccurring inflamed bump from ingrown hair on my left cheek! Despite the product being indicated for nighttime use and because I was home for the day, I applied a patch to each of the imperfections during the daytime.

First impression: the patches are virtually undetectable when applied to my fair-to-light, neutral, Caucasian skin tone. They blended into my skin so well, that I FORGOT I was wearing them, and went out in public wearing them—with no one at the store (Shoppers Drug Mart!) giving me a double-take or strange looks. The patches were INCOGNITO, camouflaged into my skin tone. (I'm 50. I don't want whimsical, "cute" blemish patches or attention-attracting ANYTHING on my face!) The patches blended so seamlessly onto my skin and into my skintone that I didn't remember to change or remove them for 32-33 hours! They stayed in place, seamlessly, even though I showered twice after applying them!

Upon their easy removal, all traces of the two blemishes on my chin were gone—no bumps, no puss-filled head, no redness, no irritation—just smooth skin, with faint traces of pink. It was also easy to remove the patch I'd placed over an irritated, inflamed (ingrown) hair follicle on my left cheek—the salicylic acid had gently exfoliated the area enough that the tip of the coarse hair had finally poked through, able to be gently tweezed out . The inflamed hair follicle was no longer dark pink-red, but soothed to a faint shade of pink, and the inflammation no longer existed. There was no irritation from the product or the adhesive.

I wish these had existed during my teens and twenties—more than half a lifetime ago. They would have been SO helpful to help impede and reduce the painful, headless, cystlike, "underground" blemishes I'd occasionally get on my chin—perhaps bringing them to a head or reducing inflammation more quickly. (I learned to use a VERY fine tipped, sterile hypodermic needle gauge, acquired from pharmacists, so I could very delicately but more deeply penetrate into the CORE of those headless, painful cystic pimples—relieving pressure, giving embedded, clear or white/yellow pus the opportunity to drain through the microfine, deeply lanced puncture, never waiting in pain for days, hoping the cyst would come to a head—I drained them myself, skillfully, without scarring, bruising, or spreading the infection under the skin!) I used to work as a makeup artist, mostly in retail settings, and if PanOxyl® PM Overnight Spot Patches® had been available on the market then, I'd not only have worn them myself, personally, even to/at work (because the patches are almost undetectable on my skin), but I'd also have recommended the patches to clients and friends!

Thank you for the opportunity to try the sample, PanOxyl®, Butterly®, and Shoppers Drug Mart®. I'm sorry that I don't have photos (or me wearing the patches) to post with my review, but the patches blended SO seamlessly with my skin, I could barely see them and FORGOT to capture a selfie before I'd removed and disposed of them!

Best over night spot treatment

I’ve been trying so many different pimple patches recently of help combat my small pimples that just show up. Panoxyl really changed the game. It’s so easy to apply and it works great

Effective and easy to use

They're almost invisible on the skin. They work so well! After 1 night I noticed less redness and my acne spots were less irritated looking. After a couple nights wearing the patches the acne was basically gone. The patches are latex free and contain hydrocolloid and are safe for all skin types. They are very gentle on the skin and don't leave any sticky residue behind after taking off.

Panoxyl review

These are the best spot patches I've used. It improved the look of my old acne spots. I received a few trial patches for free, and it works very well for the short amount I got. Very easy to use, patches are decent size. For smaller spots they can be cut, so it goes further.

Tackling your pimples while you sleep

There are many so many hours in a day and isn’t it nice when you can work on your acne while you sleep. I love that this patches come in different sizes because so do your pimples. I like that they can easily be worn while you sleep and have all the properties needed to help tackle your latest breakout.

PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches

These pimple patches work well. The adhesive is the best out of multiple pimple patch brands I've tried and the they draw out the pimples . However, after looking to repurchase them i have noticed how expensive they are . If they were more affordable i would buy them again. They worked well.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the

These didn’t work well. The ones I tried before would remove any gunk in the skin from acne. I’m not sure if the night time ones have now had the formula changed/ they didn’t really do anything. The day time ones were better

Worked well for me

I used it for the first time, and it was relatively quicker in reducing the swelling than the other product I've been using until now. I'll consider switching to panoxyl next time.

Handy to prevent zit picking & absorbs pus

If you’re dealing with breakouts, a good hydrocolloid patch can make all the difference—and the PanOxyl Overnight Spot Patches do just that.

Right away, I love how thin and flexible these patches are. They stick well and stay put overnight without peeling off, which is a must for me. Plus, they’re invisible enough that I wouldn’t mind wearing them during the day.

These patches help absorb excess fluid and flatten blemishes faster. While they won’t magically erase acne overnight, they do speed up the healing process by keeping the area protected and reducing the urge to pick.

If you’re looking for an easy, effective way to manage breakouts, PanOxyl’s spot patches are definitely worth trying!

Worked well on my stubborn blemish

I’m lucky to only get a pimple once in a blue moon but I tried these spot patches recently on a stubborn pimple and they worked really well. They stuck firmly to my skin overnight and helped reduce the size and redness by morning. The patch also kept me from touching the spot, which most likely helped to heal it faster.
