They appear at parties and formal gatherings, on picture days and even first dates. They are always the most unwanted guests and often hard to get rid of.
Pimples pop up when we least want them and we can’t stop them from coming back. And who hasn’t had a pimple at the MOST inconvenient time ever. For example, school picture day – scary; driver’s license photo day – 5 years of reminders, first date, work function – I could go on and on. The truth of the matter is, we’ve all dealt with acne at some point in our lives.
Me – I’ll admit it, I still get break outs even as an adult. Even with all of the fancy cleansers, scrubs, moisturizers, treatments etc on the market blemishes are bound to happen. I was so ready to try something new. Then, I was given the opportunity to test out new Nexcare Acne Absorbing Covers!
Design
These bad boys are unlike anything you’ve used to treat a pimple before! The drug-free covers work like a sponge to absorb all of the oils & pus from your blemish while at the same time providing a protective covering that reduces the urge to pick or pop it (admit it – you’ve done it).
One of the best things about these covers is you can see them working! As the oil & pus is absorbed, the cover changes from a transparent nude to a white colour.
Does it Work?
I found that the best time to apply these is when your face is clean & dry – no lotions or creams or makeup. Otherwise, they don’t stick or work as well. Begin by washing your face with your usual soap or cleanser then dry well. Select an appropriate size cover for your blemish and apply directly over it’s centre. These covers work best on pimples with a visible head or on cystic/inflamed pimples, otherwise they don’t do much.
While the product instructions say you can where the cover underneath your face makeup, I wouldn’t recommend it. Honestly, they aren’t the most discreet things (especially if you’re dealing with a big pimple in a prominent place) so I chose to wear them while I slept instead of during the day. I just put my moisturizer on after the cover.
Dollar Value
Nexcare Acne Absorbing Covers come with 36 assorted sizes in a box and retails for about $8.79 but go on sale for around $5. Depending on how many pimples you are treating and how often this box may or may not last you a long time.
For me, I probably wouldn’t buy it at retail price (obviously!) but at $5 I would definitely consider it, especially if I had a function coming up. And at the sale price, combined with a coupon – I would love to have a few boxes in my stockpile!
