An avid patch user who rates COSRX's patches as one of the good ones.

“I'm an avid user of pimple patches and they're definitely not all the same, but the cost doesn't always determine the quality either. Corsrx is good”

A longtime user says the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch used to clear a whitehead overnight, but since 2024 it takes about four days and spots sometimes turn cystic.

“Back in 2021–2022, they used to draw out all the gunk from a whitehead overnight. But now that I’ve been using them again since 2024, it takes about four days of constant wear”

Having tried patches from Tony Moly, Skinfood, The Face Shop and Missha, a user says the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch is hands down the best at drawing out gunk.
